    Having Power With God

    Most spend their lives living nominal Christian lives with little or no power. If you and I desire to be more than mundane believers and to have power with God I believe we need to have four key elements – humility, faith, perseverance, and holiness.

    Having Power with God Genesis 32:22-30 Jacob spent a night encountering God. At the end of that night his name was changed from “Jacob” which means “supplanter”, “heel catcher”, or “deceiver” to Israel meaning “having power with God”. Jacob was changed. No longer was he going to live his way. As ...read more

    The first set of four beatitudes focus on our vertical relationship to God, the second set of four on our horizontal relationship to people. Each of the eight builds upon the other so that there is an amazingly beautiful and compelling progression.

    Opening illustration: How good are you at making enemies? No, I didn’t ask how good you are at making friends. That’s easy. Just be a good Joe, an easy spender, a tolerant sort of fellow who never offends anybody. But how good are you at making enemies? If you are a child of God and ...read more

    Love Is

    What is love? How will I know love when I see it? Is it just something I feel inside? Is it just a word we say? What the World says about love and what the Word says about love are two very different ideas.

    INTRODUCTION: Illustration/Story/Quote/Statistic- One of my main languages is music, so I’m going to be quoting some popular songs of my era that talk about love this morning since it is, after-all, Valentine’s Day. I hope you don’t mind. In the popular 80s song by the group Foreigner, the lead ...read more

     | 17,932 views

    Why are people so passionate to kill and torture good and innocent people who bring them God's good news? And what makes the gospel so compelling, that others will not keep silent about it?

    [Sermon preached on 14 January 2018, 2nd Sunday after Epiphany / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Over the past few weeks I had a great opportunity to catch up with reading books that I have wanted to read for a long time.

    Easter, The Gospel Of Hope

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Apr 19, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 12,028 views

    The great question of the Resurrection is not whether it really happened - it did — and the evidence is overwhelming, so that’s not the question. Instead, the great question of the resurrection is - now what?

    TITLE: EASTER, THE GOSPEL OF HOPE SCRIPTURE: ST. MARK 16:1-8 One of the great disparities between the first Easter and our Easter today is that today Easter has become that time when we as Christians at least appear to have everything together — and that’s not a bad thing - this is just part of ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 11, 2022
     | 2,547 views

    Part 3 ends this study. We further look at Matthew 24 and Revelation in context and how they match each other. We do Matthew signs and the Gospel of the Kingdom, and the Jewish Tribulation saints and the Second Coming. The Rapture of the Church is NOT in Matthew 24.

    THE OLIVET DISCOURSE - A SERIOUS LOOK AT MATTHEW 24 AND REVELATION 6 IN PARALLEL – PART 3 Welcome back. In this address I have been trying to show the strong link with Matthew 24 and Revelation chapter 6. This proves that there is no Rapture in Matthew 24. It is all about the Tribulation and ...read more
