    Our annual End of the Fiscal Year necessitates assessing where our church is and what we should be focusing on in the next year. Your congregation should hear something like this from you, too.

    I truly thank God for His allowing me to pastor a congregation like you. It is my distinct pleasure to serve you as you serve the Lord. We are in a small “bedroom” community that serves the two larger cities. A bedroom community is one where people choose to live even though they ...read more

    What is our standard of holiness? As individuals, do we compare ourselves with others? As a church, do we compare our ministry with the congregation down the road? These are mistaken comparisons, as Jesus is our true standard.

    Michael Green, in his book Illustrations for Biblical Preaching, shares a good lesson which I think is appropriate for beginning our message this evening. He states, All of us frequently compare ourselves favorably with someone else. We all think of someone whom we consider to be less mature, ...read more

    I. Why Did Jesus have to die? Answer: In order that He die as a man, He had to be born and live as one. He came to earth as a man but was God incarnated (Immanuel—God as man).

    based on 1 rating
     | 13,227 views

    The message explores what Paul meant when he urged Timothy to guard the good deposit. Preachers are point men in the battle to stand firm against error, but the congregation must join them in this task.

    “By the Holy Spirit who dwells within us, guard the good deposit entrusted to you.” [1] Servants of Christ demonstrate a dynamic interplay of divine sovereignty and human responsibility in the exercise of the ministry God has assigned each one. One writer, citing an old maxim of the ...read more

    A sermon preached September 13, 2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa. It was Sunday School/Christian Education Rally Sunday. This sermon focuses on the necessity of sound teaching from the Word in the life of the congregation.

    One of the things we put a great deal of importance on in our American society today is education. We encourage our kids to “stay in school” and to do well in school.

     | 12,133 views

    Nails were distributed to the congregation, so that they could test: if you wish to endure, you have to endure some pounding. Holes may be punched in you, too. But if you persist, ultimately you will be built up.

    If you really want to grow, it’s going to cost you. If you truly expect to be built up, there will be some pain involved. No growth ever takes place without pain. That’s a law of life. That’s not negotiable. No pain, no gain. No hurt, no growth. No rough edges, no building up. If you truly ...read more
