Follow Jesus!

Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 19, 2018

As kids we sang: "I have decided to follow Jesus. No turning back!" But is that the reality of our adult lives? Are we willing to deny and sacrifice ourselves and all we have for Christ's sake?

[Sermon preached on 3 June 2018, 2nd Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] When I was a kid—I think I was eight years old at the time—I attended a Summer Bible Camp. I will never forget it, for many reasons. In particular, I remember how at the end of the day’s program, we always ...read more

Regurgitationalistics

Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Nov 27, 2019

Have you noticed that we tend to get all caught up communicating and sharing thoughts, ideas, “news and information” and that we easily fall into the trap of just being talking-heads… mostly... just regurgitating thoughts and ideas, but not actually contributing.

Man has never invented a single thing (as of this writing)… ever never… nothing new… never… not one new element has been introduced into life. All we’ve done is ‘assemble’ things to be something else, and we call it ‘inventing’. Semantics, I know… but our thoughts and the many things we voice ...read more

Can We Trust The Gospels?

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Dec 16, 2019

There has been a lot of argument about whether we can trust the gospels or not. Just how did they come to be written? Luke opens his gospel with a statement of how he did it. He did it right.

Probably most every one of us has been in on a conversation where one person says something that’s a bit hard to believe. The other person questions it. And the first person raises his hand, as if he is being sworn in to give testimony in court, and says ‘It’s the gospel truth!’ ‘It’s the ...read more

Move Into The Light

Contributed by Dennis Fox on May 14, 2023

Many of us were afraid of the dark as children. Should we be afraid of the dark as adults too? Light is good. Light is knowledge. Light is the protection of our Lord.

Move to the light It’s normal to be apprehensive when we feel vulnerable and when we can’t see clearly it contributes to that vulnerability. In other words, being afraid of the dark and yes, when I was little, I was very afraid of the dark. It didn’t help that we lived in a creaky old house ...read more

Be Accepting Of The Sick Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

People can become so afraid of catching an illness that they will stay clear of anyone who is sick. Jesus challenged people to realize that caring for the spiritual needs of others far supersedes one’s desire for self-preservation

Judge Not, That Ye Be Not Judged.

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on May 12, 2022

There are folks who do not care a thing about what the Bible teaches, but they do have favorite scriptures they bring up when it is convenient for them.

There are two verses that we hear about frequently. (1) 1 Timothy 5: 23 seem to be a favorite Scripture for some. Paul had written to Timothy, who had a stomach condition, and he said to him, “Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often ...read more

The Contemporary Christ Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

If Jesus was still in the tomb, and not a living contemporary, then however, great a man and teacher He was, He is of no more value to us than any other dead man. Any religion will do if the best only gets you to the grave.
