    With the First Plague God demonstrates his power AND his grace.

    Will God Forgive?

    Contributed by Harold Kouwenberg on Aug 3, 2013
     | 5,009 views

    Psalm 51 gives us an insight to the deeply personal confession of David and a glimpse of the grace God affords sinners like us. The emphasis isn't on judgement, it is on confession, repentance and grace. Our response is worship, thansgiving and testimony.

    "WILL GOD FORGIVE?" Psalm 51: 1-19 Matthew 7: 1-5 "NEVER! I'll never in a million years forgive that man! After what he's done to me, he can just forget about ever talking to me again! That's one thing I can never do. I just can't forgive what he has done." ...read more

    John The Baptist And What He Said And What He Heard

    Contributed by David Mcnally on Jan 17, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,499 views

    John the Baptist, the last of the OT prophets or the first of the NT, proclaimed Law and the need to repent, but also Gospel and how to be forgiven. He looked forward to Jesus and must have been elated when he was told what Jesus said and did

    Matthew 11: 2-15 The message John the Baptist preached and the message he received Lutherans are very firm on teaching Law and Gospel and emphasising the correct distinction between the two. We need them both, Law and Gospel, God's Law, rules, duties and ...read more

    Jesus sacrificed himself as a voluntary substitution for our sins. This Good Friday message uses the parable from Matthew 21 as a demonstration of the world around us.

    Jeffrey Ebert shared this story about an incident in his childhood. He wrote: When I was five years old, before factory-installed seat belts and automobile air bags, my family was driving home at night on a two-lane country road. I was sitting on my mother’s lap when another car, driven by ...read more

    Paul tells to let the Word of Christ dwell in us richly. The Word routinely "stings" us with conviction, but if it's received, it produces joy and singing. Let's go from stinging to singing!
