Stewardship based on the parable of the talents

One of my favorite stories is contained in an old issue of "The Guidepost Christmas Treasury."   I have told the story before but for me is it like one of those bed time stories that you could listen to over and over.  It is the story of a young man named Paul.  It was the Christmas season and ...read more

Gideon - Part 1 Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 8, 2014

Starting into a sermon series on Gideon found in Judges 6-8. What was it that led to Israel being in the spiritual condition where God would hand them over to foreigners? In spite of their behavior God is still faithful! Thank you, Jesus!

The Parable Of The Rich Fool

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Mar 19, 2018

Parables are easy to understand but hard to live.

The Parable of the Rich Fool Luke 12:13-21 There is nothing like a simple store to illustrate a point. We gravitate to storytellers, and Jesus was a master of the story, in particular the parable. They are stories from everyday life. This makes them easy to understand. One does not need to go into ...read more

Lord Build Me In Patience Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 2, 2021

Be patient. That’s easier said than done isn’t it? Our first instinct is to complain along the way, isn’t it? That’s what happened when Moses led the Israelites into the wilderness.

7 “Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. 8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. 9 Don’t grumble against one another, ...read more

"staying Connected"

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Apr 29, 2021

In order to imitate Jesus, demonstrate love, joy, etc we must "stay connected" to the Vine. I begin with a story of Oskar Schindler about connections. Through prayer, worship and the reading of God's word, listening to His voice will produce good deeds.

In Jesus Holy Name May 1, 2021 Text: John 15:1-8 Easter V Redeemer “Staying Connected” It helps to have connections. Everybody knows it’s true. It’s not what you know, the cynic says, but WHO you know that makes a difference. In 1982 there was a wonderful book which was ...read more

Is It Worth It?

This week is ‘Christian Aid Week.’ Once a year, Christian Aid especially encourages us as Christians to think about how we respond to a great sea of need in the world. Since this is Christian Aid Week, I thought I should tell you what Christian Aid want to tell us. Christian Aid has prepared ...read more

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 17, 2022

Animals, servants, and the land need a break. Don't come before God empty-handed. When you celebrate harvest, celebrate God.

Today, we work our way through Exodus 23:10-19. This is another one of those passages where we will find ourselves being pulled in lots of different directions. God sort of hops around, from one topic to another. And we will have to do our best to hop with him, and keep up. Part of me wonders ...read more
