    Jesus washed his disciples' feet. What did he really want to teach his disciples about service and humility?

    [Sermon preached on 14 October 2018, Apostles' Sunday / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Last Tuesday, our Bible study group went through the three readings for today. We soon found that they have at least two things in common. For one thing, they have all been taken out of context. As you may have ...read more

    "worry (Part 1): Why The Bible Tells Us Not To Worry" Series

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Aug 16, 2021
     | 5,371 views

    Worry is the uneasy feeling we often experience in times of fear, trouble, or problems. But, not all worry is bad. There is a positive, wise kind of worry and a negative, wrong, and destructive worry. This sermon helps us understand both of them and the impacts of negative worry.

    Today we will continue our sermon series on "The Bible and Emotional Problems." The topic that we will learn is worry. "I have a mountain of credit card debt," one man told another. "I have lost my job. My car is being repossessed and our house is in foreclosure, but I am ...read more

    Modern-Day Legalism (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by Greg Powell on Sep 23, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,989 views

    We have seen how legalism in Paul’s day added works to salvation, but that is largely not what modern-day legalism is in the church now. Legalism for us applies in the area of how we perceive our sanctification and how we portray our spirituality to others.

    INTRO: I need to explain what is going on with the next couple of messages. We have dipped our toe in the water of legalism as it has been addressed in the book of Galatians so far. I am going to take a couple messages and jump into the entire pool of what legalism looks like for us today. We ...read more

    Legalism is potentially such a damaging, deceitful, and depressing way to view the Christian life.

    INTRO: I’ve tried to be very clear and practical at each point in this topic about what legalism is, what it does, and what it looks like. We spent the last message covering the statements a legalist might say, the specifics of legalism as far as the actual fundamental definitions of this way of ...read more

    You are adult sons of God, so don’t behave like children; behave like the adult sons you are.

    Marian Obeda, from London, Ontario, talks about a time when her husband, a pastor, was asked to officiate at a lot of weddings over a short few months. During that time, they were also preparing for their son's birthday party, so Marian asked her son who he wanted to invite. He responded with a ...read more

    In order to have Christ formed in us, we look to Galatians 4:12-20, where the Apostle Paul shows: 1) The Godly Example. (Galatians 4:12a.) 2) The Godly Focus. (Galatians 4:12-16 3) The Deadly Distraction. (Galatians 4:17-18) and finally: 4) The Godly Objective: (Galatians 4:19-20)

    The opening line of Psalm 127 emphasizes a theme that runs through both Psalm 127 and 128 – without God’s direct and crucial involvement in its building and protection, no house, city, or family will survive.

    Just as fall turns to winter we can Leave the Old behind. But in order to do this we must: 1) Forsake our Former life (Galatians 4:8), 2) Understand our Present Life (Galatians 4:9) and 3) Live for our Future Life (Galatians 4:10-11)

    As we come to the final season of the year, it tends to be a time of extremes. We are called to more events, to buy more and decorate more than the rest of the year combined.

    Addictions are of various sorts, and if one has to overcome any addiction it is possible only through Jesus Christ. It is possible to live a life free from every bondage, and this sermon will tell you how.

    We read in 2 Peter 2:19, “for we are slaves of anything that has conquered us.” (GNB) The above mentioned verse endorses the truth that a person becomes a slave to something, when they are overpowered by it. For instance, a person who is addicted to alcohol, may realize that the habit affects his ...read more
