    The Two Pillars Of Godly Support: Belief And Love - 1john 3:23 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 5, 2022
     | 1,245 views

    Some Christians, when they are more established, very imperceptibly, lessen the trust in the Lord, and place it more in their own ability and decision-making. Not consciously, but bit by bit, they take back control of their own lives, and wonder why God seems absent. We look at belief and love.

    MESSAGE – THE TWO PILLARS OF GODLY SUPPORT: BELIEF AND LOVE - 1John 3:23 We will be looking at a verse in the first letter of John but just to place it into context we will look at 4 verses – {{1 John 3 v 21-24, but it is verse 23 that is our focus. 1John 3 v 21 “Beloved, if our heart does not ...read more

    A Sermon To Die For Series

    Eutychus fell asleep during church... and he woke up dead. Why was Eutychus at church that night, and what can we learn from his experience?

    Someone once noted that falling asleep has often had unforeseen consequences. Adam fell asleep and woke up married and missing a rib! Samson fell asleep and woke up bald and beaten! Jonah fell asleep in the boat and woke up wet! Eutychus fell asleep and he woke up dead! Like Eutychus, people ...read more

    Count It As Joy

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jul 8, 2024
     | 1,661 views

    When faced with the ungodly things of this world, the Bible tells us to "count it all joy." This message looks at how we can do that.

    Count it all Joy Good evening to the Lord’s beloved. Would you please open to Hebrews 12? I “joined” church when I was 10 years old. Back then it meant the same thing as accepting Jesus. I started out as a baby. I didn’t know anything about being a Christian. That was 57 years, six months and 72 ...read more

    El mundo lo llama tontería. La predicación del Evangelio es poder de Dios.

    Es una tontería predicar un sermón. Cuando te levantas y le dices a la gente que están perdidos y que su única esperanza de salvación reside en la crucifixión y resurrección de Jesús, eso en la forma de pensar del mundo es una tontería. No es que estar ...read more

    What Is God's View Of War

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Apr 2, 2003
    based on 58 ratings
     | 14,009 views

    As Christians we need to know what God says about war. Didn’t Christ come preaching peace? If so how can war be compatible with the life and teachings of Jesus Christ? Isn’t war a contradiction to the teachings of God’s Word?

    "But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the ...read more

    Fasting And Faith That Matters To God

    based on 111 ratings
     | 25,932 views

    Jesus preached good news to the poor. He freed prisoners and brought healing to a broken world. God invites us to love people with His love. To visit the sick, to clothe the naked, to feed the poor, to care for our own flesh and blood - the human family.

     Fasting and Faith that Matters to God Isaiah 58:1-14: "Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet. Declare to my people their rebellion and to the house of Jacob their sins. For day after day they seek me out; they seem eager to know my ways, as if they ...read more

    This sermon contemplates the HOW of the BTK? How could this church president live such a life? WHo is to blame? HOw can it be prevented? Kind of long winded here again (surprise surprise) - but I couldn’t stop thinking about it, so decided to preach on

    What Jesus Says About Doubt

    Contributed by Christopher Martin on Apr 2, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,304 views

    A sermon preached at the Salem Lutheran Home Chapel in Elk Horn, Iowa during the week of the 2nd Sunday of Easter. This sermon looks at doubt, both Thomas’ doubts about the resurrection, as well as our doubts, and what Jesus has to say about them.

    How many of you there this morning have ever heard the phrase “Doubting Thomas?” I’m guessing quite a few of you have at some point in your life. We usually use it to refer to someone who doubts the truth of what we’re trying to tell them. That phrase “Doubting Thomas” comes from Thomas, one of ...read more

    Abiding In Jesus' Reformation Words

    Contributed by Christopher Martin on Oct 25, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,703 views

    A sermon preached at an area Reformation Sunday worship service on 10/25/2009 at Elk Horn Lutheran Church, Elk Horn, Iowa. It uses Jesus’ words of the text as Jesus’ "reformation words" for the people of his day, Martin Luther’s day, and today.

    Historically, Lutherans have taken the last Sunday in October and set it aside as “Reformation Sunday”, where we give thanks to God for the life and work of Martin Luther and other reformers of the church in the 1500’s who brought back to light the truth of the Gospel. It’s a day where it’s very ...read more
