    In a world like ours with everything that is going on in world events and the Christmas season, peace is a major concern, isn’t it? The problem is everyone wants peace but no one has a clear answer on how to get it.

    Finding Peace in a Season of Stress Philippians 4:1-9 Lucinda Norman writes of her experience Christmas shopping at the mall. People had been pushing, elbowing and cutting in front of her all day. During a 10 minute extra 10% off special, one woman grabbed a lace table cloth from her hands, looked ...read more

     | 2,751 views

    Leadership choices and decisions effectually exist as much in the home as in the world, for the love of Jesus to overcome and conquer the fears of the world---Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Jezebel, Rahab, Mary magdalene, Mary, mother of Jesus were leaders.

    FOR JESUS’ LOVE 9 Leadership Traits By Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid (August 4, 2017) “So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?

    It's easy to see a Lazarus Picture in the world: But I believe The Holy Spirit would have us look at that story again and we might Just see not Just a Lazarus world (But a Lazarus Church).

    I love the story of Lazarus: I believe that Lazarus and his situation or condition and his resurrection is so powerful because it reminds us, “that it's not over till God says it's over” It reminds us that God can do anything It reminds us that God works in the dark It reminds us that ...read more

    We're On A Mission From God

    Contributed by Chip Blackshear on Dec 3, 2016
     | 8,027 views

    The mission of the Church is really to participate in God's mission to the world. He sent His Son to undo the effects of the Fall, reconciling us to God. The work of the Church, then, is to work to undo the effects of sin in our world.

    Some of you may remember a movie that came out about 25 years ago. The film was a story of redemption and it featured two prominent theologians of the time, Jake and Elwood. If you saw the movie The Blues Brothers, which you probably shouldn’t have, you’ll remember that line they use a ...read more

     | 4,961 views

    A great spiritual battle is still at work in our world today. We dear Saints are on the front lines of that battlefield. We are the evidence of Jesus sovereignty over the prince of this world. We are the subjects of His Holy Kingdom

    The Coming Reign of Christ Ezekiel 34:11-16 Ezekiel 34:11-16 King James Version (KJV) 11 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. 12 As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek ...read more

     | 3,994 views

    Saints we are seeing an ever growing shift in spiritual focus in our world, one that is off the Church and on to Jerusalem. In the eyes of the world “The Church” is becoming less relevant and Jerusalem is becoming more and more relevant.

    Pentecost 2018 Acts 2:1-8 Get Fired UP! As I share and review the glorious news of Pentecost today I must also prepare you the Church for the glorious end of “The Church Age” which we see all around us. Time as we know it is near an end for the "Church Age". We “The Church” marvel at this ...read more

    Salt And Light

     | 13,511 views

    We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. We are not called to withdraw from public life into our safe and cozy Christian circles. We are called to make a difference in a world full of darkness, fear, violence, and foolishness.

    [Sermon preached on 21 October 2018, Reformation Sunday / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] We sing it almost every Sunday in church with the kids: “This little light of mine—I’m gonna let it shine. Everywhere I go, I’m gonna let it shine.” But I wonder how many of us really think about what we sing. ...read more

    Last time we learned that both Jews and Gentiles, before Christ, were in bondage the "elements of the world." The “elements of the world” referred to the principles of non-Christian humanity, that is, humanity outside of Christ.

    (Gal 4:1 NKJV) Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, (Gal 4:2 NKJV) but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. (Gal 4:3 NKJV) Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under ...read more

    The Prophet Habakkuk looked around and saw a world filled with violence, destruction, toleration of wickedness, injustice, strife and conflict. Where was God? Ever look at your world and wonder the same thing? Listen to the Lord's answer!

    Violence, injustice, toleration of wrong, destruction, strife, conflict. Those are the words that the Old Testament prophet Habakkuk used to describe the world around him. It was about 600 BC and Habakkuk saw people who were mistreating and taking advantage of one another, people who thought that ...read more

    Justice Will Prevail, I Promise! Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jun 29, 2020
     | 5,110 views

    Life can be hard and unfair. We cry out for justice and wait for it. We may never experience justice in this world, but God promises us that He is a just God and that justice will prevail in the next world.

    A. Have you noticed in life that justice can be hard to come by? 1. One day a defendant stood before the judge and the judge announced, “Tell me, sir, do you have anything to offer this court before it passes sentence?” a. The defendant replied, “No, your honor, I have nothing to offer this court, ...read more

    Just as Abraham was an instrument of blessing to the world, you are to be instruments of blessing to the world. Just as Abraham taught His children God’s righteous ways, you are to teach our children God’s righteous ways.

    Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! As believers in Christ, we need not wait until the end of November to be thankful. You and I need to be grateful for God’s righteous goodness all the time. And as we will see over the next few minutes, you and I need to be grateful for God’s justice all the time. ...read more

    Paul said that our lives are written epistles, and that they are being read by the entire world. He said this in order to reveal just how much influence believers can have in impacting the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

    This evening we are going to discuss the power of the written letter. Have you ever thought about how powerful writing is? For example, consider how writing is used by the news media to push certain political agendas and worldviews. There’s just something about the written (or printed) word that ...read more

    Peter is telling us is that we should not let the things of this world, nor the people of this world distract us from the business of the Gospel! Today we want to talk about provocateurs, peculiar people and our priesthood.

    THE PECULIAR PEOPLE Text:1 Peter 2:9-16 1 Peter 2: 1 - 10: Rid yourselves, therefore, of all malice, and all guile, insincerity, envy, and all slander. 2 Like newborn infants, long for the pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow into salvation— 3 if indeed you have tasted ...read more
