    Sermon for pre-Vacation Bible School on the importance of training children

    The people brought children to Jesus, hoping he might touch them. The disciples shooed them off. But Jesus was irate and let them know it: ¡§Don¡¦t push these children away. Don¡¦t ever get between them and me. These children are at the very center of life in the kingdom. Mark this: Unless you ...read more

    In our text, let’s consider what the imperishable Word of God produces in people: 1- Purification 2- Love 3- Eternity

    INTRO.- Many good things don’t last long, do they? A delicious meal. A good pair of shoes. A favorite pair of jeans. A favorite car or truck. They all eventually wear out unless we get rid of them before that time. And how about the human body? Whew! Man, does it ever perish or fade with ...read more

     | 5,334 views

    In order for God to show up and display his power in our life and church we need to do a spiritual inventory and confess and repent of our sin.

    Today we have set aside as a day of prayer and fasting. We began our 24 hour vigil at midnight last night and it will go until midnight tonight (so if you just heard about it this morning you are still in luck). We are preparing ourselves, our church, our community, for a God visit during our ...read more

    Have you thought about the future of our church? It is amazing how we make plans everyday for events that are at times far off with no thought about what may happen. Charles Kettering said “We should all be concerned about the future – because we will hav

    At the beginning of our worship service we recognized 9 of the 13 the children born in 2008 to members of our church family. As I look at those children I see incredible potential. They will experience more changes in their life time than we can ever imagine. It is possible by the time they become ...read more

    The Bald Eagle Series

    based on 20 ratings
     | 14,193 views

    Micah’s symbol of the bald eagle, a sign of grief, applies to America. We are abandoning justice, kindness, and the humble walk with God. Our collapse is from within rather than from without. Yet God has sent a different kind of conqueror to redeem us.

    What we see is more powerful than what we hear. The visual always trumps the audible. I learned a long time ago that what people see is more powerful than what they hear. I learned it when I sat through an education professor’s hour-long lecture about why lecturing was the least effective way to ...read more

     | 9,817 views

    Preaching the truth seems to always cause trouble because some people don’t want to listen to it or believe it. Paul experienced two difficulties in this text. 1- The difficulty of being misunderstood 2- The difficulty of being hassled

    INTRO.- Job 14:1 "Man born of woman is of few days and full of trouble." Eccl. 2:22-23 "What does a man get for all the toil and anxious striving with which he labors under the sun? All his days his work is pain and grief; even at night his mind does not rest. This too is meaningless." WHAT ...read more

    3rd Sunday in Lent, Series B. Preached 3/15/2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa

    Our Gospel reading for this morning is one that tends to catch a lot of people off guard. When you think of Jesus, you don’t usually think of Him as someone who gets angry, who resorts to violent behavior. We think of him as a tender, compassionate, easy going person who wouldn’t hurt a fly. ...read more

    God has called us to be constantly fanning the spiritual flames inside us, and it is up to us to train ourselves to make the Spiritual Disciplines part of our routine, or lifestyle. This sermon is a variation on my "Pursuing Purity" teaching.

    Spiritual Disciplines Maintaining Integrity of Heart So fearful were the ancient Chinese of their enemies on the north that they built the Great Wall of China, one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world.

    A look at the subject of temptation from James 1 and various other Bible texts

    "Temtpation Truths" Temptation comes to the child of God in many ways, but James tells us that "Every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his own lusts and enticed" (James 1:14) teaching us that the source of temptation is the lust within man, not necessarily the devil as most of us would ...read more
