Setting A Good Example (Part Two) Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Oct 1, 2018

Paul was a good example. Paul said in 1st Cor. 11:1, "Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ." How did Paul set a good example?

SETTING A GOOD EXAMPLE (part two) In life there are good examples and there are bad examples. We need to set a good example for the lost to see and be drawn to and for the church to see and want to follow suit. Recap: Jesus was a good example of humility and service.

Living Under Judgement And Loving It.

Contributed by Cameron Conway on Oct 3, 2018

God is not just storing up all of His judgments for the last day like some vindictive squirrel, but He is watching and judging the world, the church and ourselves constantly.

At one point or another you’ve probably heard a Christian talk about God’s judgment falling on some person, place, organization, or even on yourself. Biblically it is the great equalizer that reminds us that one day we are all to stand before God for our celestial hearing (Revelation 20:11-15) ...read more

The Miracle Of The Seed

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Oct 7, 2018

Sometimes you may be the one to water, or provide the sunshine or shade at the right time, or all of the above. There is no level of preparation to great or small in the growing process, before the harvest!

The Miracle of the seed Gal. 6:1-5, 7-10 Msg. 1-3 Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself.

The Golden Rule

Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 19, 2018

"Love" should be more than just a buzzword for Christians. God showed his love for us when we were still sinners. Likewise, we should love our friends and our enemies alike and show it by treating them the way we want to be treated.

[This sermon was preached on 8 July 2018, 7th Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Years ago, a man came to me for help. His life was in a mess. When he looked to the past, he saw many relationships that had shipwrecked. Several of them were still haunting him almost daily. His ...read more

Eternity Is Now In Session - Illumanation. Woke! Series

A roadmap of discovering Jesus, and allowing him to purge and remove sinful habits, attitudes, thinking and living from our lives. Not because he’s mean that because he knows what’s ...read more

The Rest Of The Story Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jan 20, 2020

Paul concludes chapter 11 explaining that God has not given up on the people of Israel by revealing the mystery that "all Israel will be saved." The thought that God's plan includes mercy for Jews and Gentiles propels Paul into a majestic doxology about the glory of God.

A. I used to love listening to Paul Harvey’s “The Rest of the Story” radio broadcasts. 1. The short radio segments consisted of stories presented as little-known or forgotten facts on a variety of subjects with some key element of the story (usually the name of some well-known person) held back ...read more
