    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 1, 2025
     | 270 views

    This time we see the fertile, good soil as the Sower broadcast his seed. This is what everyone wants. Also we see the obligations of sowers, the care of the seed, and how this relates to the gospel. We must never handle the bible deceitfully.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE FIRST - THE SOWER OR RATHER THE SOIL – Part 5 of 7 So far we have covered the first three soils in the Parable of the Sower and in this message we come to the last one. The outcome here is what everyone wants to happen in preaching the gospel, but experience and the ...read more

    INTRODUCTION In several of Paul's letters to the churches, Paul starts with theological teaching and then moves on to practical instruction. He lays the theological foundations and sets out key theological truths. After that, he talks about how believers should live in the light of these ...read more

    In Acts chapter one, we see the church in a holding pattern. They don’t have the power to go out and affect their world. But in chap. 2 they received power to change the world. Do we want LOW power or HIGH power?

    BECOMING POWERHOUSES FOR GOD Acts 1:4-8 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity.

    A High-Way For Our God

     | 1,329 views

    These verses point out the preparations the church must make for the Kingdom if we want to see the Lord move among us in a time of power and glory. God’s “High Way” always stands in contradiction to the World’s “Low Way.”

    Isaiah 40:3-5 A High Way For Our God June 23, 2024 Isaiah is writing about the coming of the Messiah. These verses were partially fulfilled through the ministry of John the Baptist. Matthew 3:3 says In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, "Repent, ...read more

    It is the season of weddings for many couples and families. Jesus used the story of a wedding reception to remind us that regardless of the place or people, weddings are costly … in more ways than money. He invites us to one that we do not want to miss.

    Friends in Christ, 1. It is the season of weddings! Last Sunday I substituted at Fairlawn Lutheran for Pastor Gau because his son was married on Saturday, and today I am with you as Pastor Tritten celebrates marriage for his son. Congratulations to both families – and, to you and your family ...read more

    Letting God lead is easy when things are going the way we think they should. When God takes us down paths we don't like, we want to take the wheel of the proverbial car of life.

    Backseat Driver Both our daughters have recently started a driver's education course. I can remember the very first time I was behind the wheel of a car. My dad decided to let me drive. He regretted it immediately. As he sat in the passenger seat directing me, I put my foot on the gas and ...read more

     | 1,354 views

    In this sermon series we are comparing the early chapters of Genesis with the late chapters in John. In this sermon, we explore how the Fall happened because man wanted to become like God and salvation happened because God was willing to become a man.

    THE TEMPTION IN THE FALL: Satan told Adam and Eve that they could become like God. - Genesis 3:5. SIDE NOTE: This was also the issue in Satan’s fall. - Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:11-19; 1 Timothy 3:6. - His pride and desire to lift himself up. - Look up Isaiah 14:12-14.

    This sermon is one of encouragement to the believers. People at times will try to make you feel bad of your past life. No matter what you have done Jesus the Christ will meet you where you are and will forgive you of your sins if you want Him to.

    Introduction: When we think of the term Superman, our first thought is that man named Clark Kent who was a reporter for the Daily Journal. He was arkward, clumsy, appeared weak, defenseless, and was always in someone’s way. He was highly in love with Lois Lane and was too shy to let her know. ...read more

    What Are You Missing?

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 20, 2018
     | 8,513 views

    Today I want to look at an encounter between Jesus and a “Rich Young Ruler”. Kind of like Jesus meets Mark Zuckerberg. The rich seem to have everything yet this very, very rich young man knew he was missing something. What are you missing?

    What one thing do you lack? Mark 10:17-34 The Rich Young Ruler We are now just four weeks away from Easter Sunday 2018. Easter happens to be on April 1st, April Fool’s Day.

    "I guess I was a kind of an unruly girl or something, so maybe they didn’t want me. I attended a church college, too. But nobody ever said a word to me about becoming a Christian. So I never did."
