     | 3,964 views

    God owns it all, we are given so much, why is it an issue that we hold on for grim death to all we have when its to be shared? My cowardly approach to addressing these issues is to use the brillant Lutheran Scholar Dr Harry Wendt's material "In Heaven

    Who Am I

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 15, 2015
     | 7,473 views

    Like Peter, we are followers of Jesus. Like Peter, we sometimes have deep faith, and, at other times, a lack of faith. Jesus saw in Peter the same thing he sees in us-building material that can be shaped into a people of faith to serve his reign.

    The Gospel reading from Matthew 16:13-20 takes place in the region of Caesarea Philippi. It was a territory where pagan gods were worshipped, and it is there that Jesus asks Peter a question about his identity; not in some safe territory, but in a non-believing location. Perhaps that is why Jesus ...read more

    Why did Jesus die? Each verse gives part of the answer- Isaiah is still on Friday but we see hints of Sunday (Easter) here (Title, Outline and material adapted from Ray Pritchard at: https://www.keepbelieving.com/sermon/the-conquering-christ/)

    HoHum: Been on Friday the past few months in Isaiah 53. Love this rendition from S.M. Lockridge: It’s Friday, Jesus is praying, Peter’s a sleeping, Judas is a betraying, But Sunday’s a comin’ It’s Friday, Pilate’s struggling, the council is conspiring, the crowd is vilifying, they don’t even know ...read more

    Material things have a built-in mortality. No matter how much we exercise, how good our diet is, we’re eventually going to die. If you want something that lasts for eternity then you must partake of the one who alone is eternal.

    The Bread of Life John 6:35-71 Rev. Brian Bill February 6-7, 2016 For my dad’s 80th birthday, my four sisters and I met in California two weeks ago to surprise him. I think we pulled it off. I came to the front door with a bunch of balloons so he couldn’t see my face and declared, ...read more

    Being A Good Father

    Contributed by Vince Miller on May 7, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 31,466 views

    This sermon, designed for Father's Day, addresses two components I wish I would have known before I became a dad myself. Two simple principles that can be easily applied to a father of any age and includes material for men, women, and various life stages.

    There is no script or instruction manual, for being a good father. Most men are thrust into the task of fatherhood that will change how we view our earthly father, Heavenly Father, and even ourselves forever. It is an adventure that will challenge us, drain us, beat us up, lending us to a few ...read more

    We live in a society pulverized by wrong priorities, crushed by debt, and pinned down by materialism, thus blocking our vision causing us to miss the life God has so graciously given. Today’s parable looks at where we’re investing our future.

    The Twelve Men Who Shaped The World, Part 2 – The Apostle Peter Series

    Contributed by Warren Lamb on Jul 8, 2006
    based on 9 ratings
     | 6,549 views

    Jesus drew from the same raw materials that He draws from today when He calls men and women to be His disciples. In this series, we are looking at each of the Twelve as in-depth as we can, based upon what we can know and discern from the Scripture.

    We return once again to the 10th Chapter of the Gospel of Matthew. We have been absent from this study for a time, so I want to review for a moment what we have discovered so far in this section of our study. We began looking at the men that Jesus commissioned that day to begin sharing the gospel ...read more

    Once again we turn to the 10th Chapter of the Gospel of Matthew. We focused on the Apostle Peter last time, and we learned quite a bit about how Jesus can use the raw material of a person who is willing to be used.
