    Contributed by James Wallace on Dec 23, 2021
     | 1,737 views

    Have you ever wondered why Christmas is all about giving? You probably have an idea. But I want to make sure today that you understand exactly what it means for you.

    Have you ever wondered why Christmas is all about giving? Well, I imagine most of us have a feel for this. It’s because Jesus was all about loving and giving. But there’s a little bit more to it than that. And my goal this evening is that you don’t miss what Jesus intended Christmas to be ...read more

    The good news and the bad news is that growth brings people and new people bring different ideas. What do we do in times of conflict? Check out these thoughts from the church in Jerusalem.

    Growing pains- they can be a good thing. There’s a saying that goes, “What doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.” Growing pains can also be bad- after all, they’re a pain. It hurts. As a child growing to maturity, there are a number of times you go through ...read more

     | 4,480 views

    Many in this world do not believe in any idea that is absolute. Jesus was NOT one of those. Jesus declared the Gospel in absolute terms with no "wiggle room" built in. Thank you, Jesus, for such a glorious gift!

    John 14:1-14 As we look up this Scripture we are (hopefully) remembering some of the sermon from last week when we saw that: Jesus lived His life with the Father ever before His face And that we have a natural inclination to take our eyes off of Jesus and look at the things of this world which ...read more

     | 2,296 views

    In this text Jesus tells the parable (Laborers in the Vineyard) in which Jesus is saying to his critics: “Your idea of God is all wrong, this is what God is like: The kingdom of God is like a “good employer.”

    In Jesus Holy Name September 20, 2020 Text: Matthew 20:1-2,15 Redeemer Grumblers & The Scandal of Grace John Reuman in his book “Jesus in the Church’s Gospel’s” writes; “Jesus….stressed the “grace of God”. Mercy, goodness and love for sinful humanity is ...read more

     | 5,083 views

    The Big Idea: We don’t always like the warnings Scripture gives us. In the parable of the wicked tenants, Jesus warns the religious leaders of of the consequences of not bearing the fruit God is looking for.

    Since we’ve titled this series “Good News,” a lot of the sermon titles have related to the news—“The most trusted name in News,” “A Slow News Day,” “The Rest of the Story—” stuff like that. So that’s where this title comes from, and I’ll talk more about this later. An interesting thing about ...read more

    Jesus promise to prepare us room in his Father's house. There is more to that promise than the idea of our souls going to heaven to be with God. What did Jesus try to tell his disciples?

    [Sermon preached on 22 April 2018, 3rd Sunday after Easter / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Last week Saturday I conducted a funeral. It was a bright sunny day. Mostly, when I attend a funeral the weather is gloomy, windy and cold. But over the years, I have also attended funerals of some very special ...read more

  • Mary Versus Martha - A Matter Of Priority

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 10, 2015
     | 14,174 views

    We often hear the account of the dinner given for Jesus at Martha's house as a, "Mary was good and Martha was BAD" sort of idea. But, is that really the essence of what happened? Let's take a look ...

    Today we'll be taking a look at an interesting event which took place in Bethany at the home of Martha, Mary and Lazarus. So, let's get right into it, OK? Luke 10:38-42 NRSV “Now as they went on their way, [Jesus] entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her ...read more

     | 1,516 views

    When you read the word church in your English Bible it is a translation of the Greek word ekklesia. The literal meaning is those who are called out. The general use in Greek was to express the idea of an assembly.

    You are most likely familiar with the children’s hand motion and rhyme to learn about church. Here is the church, here is the steeple, open the door and see all the people. Well, when we really understand church we say, here is the building and here is the steeple, open the door and see the ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,987 views

    Lent starts with Ash Wednesday. The idea of observing lent is to come very closer to Lord Jesus Christ. Not what you don't eat will not matter but what you leave matters.

    Ash Wednesday Follow Me - John 1:43-51 Purpose Lent is a period of fasting and abstinence from meat and repentance contemplating one’s transgressions. The first council of Nicaea in AD 325 brought this tradition. On Ash Wednesday the Ashes made out of the Palm leaves taken in the previous year ...read more

  • A Conversation Of Hope Series

     | 2,842 views

    Much had changed since Naomi and Ruth returned from Moab. Neither woman had any idea what the Lord had in store for their future and how their lives were about to change.

    A Conversation of Hope Ruth 2: 19-23 As I studied this wonderful passage, I was reminded of the change that has taken place in such a short time. In the beginning verses, Naomi and Ruth had returned from Moab with little hope or confidence in the future. Little did they know that God was ...read more

  • The Wife As The Heart

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Sep 24, 2023
     | 593 views

    Do you have any idea why God would create women in the fashion He did? Why the rib? Not the ankle, foot, hand, head, neck, but the rib. That which is the closest to the heart.

    Tonight, we will apply the functions of the physical heart. To this of the wife or the mom in the home. 1. The Bible teaches the man is the head, the leader, the provider, the decision maker. 2. The Bible teaches the man is to love his wife, “as his own body” Ephesians 5:28-29. 3. I don’t feel ...read more

    Surrender and Trust: Learning to Let Go and Let God Matthew 26:39 (NLT) – “He went on a little farther and bowed with his face to the ground, praying, ‘My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.’” 1 Peter 5:7 (NLT) – ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 3,153 views

    Climate change is not a new thing. In fact the bible records how society dealt with it in the 9th century B.C. Two leaders had very different ideas about how to solve the crisis. One chose the living God.

    The Mountain of Battle Today we look at two leaders with very different perspectives about God, Religion and Authority. Our study is not unlike the times we live in. Even in our present age we are faced with two powerful leaders who seem to be destined to square off over God, Religion and ...read more
