    Wake up from the hypnosis of hypocrisy and wake up to the greatness of Christ’s finery.

    In 547 B.C., King Croesus of Sardis marched to fight King Cyrus of Persia. Croesus was defeated and retreated to his fortress-like city of Sardis where he thought he would be safe from further attacks.

    Standing Up For What’s Right

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Sep 3, 2017

     | 22,999 views

    Sometimes we have to stand up for what's right. We need to remember that God knows our plight, we need to fear God above people, and we need to humbly take a stand. The Hebrew midwives in Egypt stood up to Pharaoh, and God remembered them for it.

    Exodus 1:8-21 Standing Up for What’s Right Recently I watched the movie, “Hacksaw Ridge.” It documents the true story of Private First Class Desmond Doss, who enlisted as an Army medic during World War II, but refused for religious reasons to carry a weapon.

    We are admonished in God’s word to put away envy. Let us study how envy can destroy our lives if we do not take authority in Christ to put it away.

    ENVY (Heb. qin’â; Gk. phthonos). (1) That discontented feeling that arises in the selfish heart in view of the superiority of another (real or imagined), nearly tantamount to jealousy (Psalm 37:1; Psalm 73:3; Proverbs 24:1, 19; Phil. 1:15; etc.). (2) That malignant passion that sees in another ...read more

    A message encouraging Christians to live lives characterized by joy rather than grumpiness.

    Lighten Up! Various Scriptures Introduction We all like being around people who are generally upbeat, don’t we?

    Jesus tells the parable of the wheat and the weeds to reveal characteristics of the Kingdom of God. God's kingdom isn't obsessed with judgment and eradicating evil, and neither should we.

    July 19, 2020 Hope Lutheran Church Pastor Mary Erickson Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 Hold Up on that Roundup! Friends, may grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and Christ Jesus our Lord. My father loved tending a garden and he passed that love along to me.

    This message you may be interested to know isn’t really about weather you should wear your seatbelts, it is how ever about a Christians responsibility to observe the laws of the land.

    Introduction: Mandatory seatbelt laws, the talk of Greeley in recent days! I am not sure what your position is on the subject. Opinions have varied in recent newspaper letters to the editor. One resident’s philosophy is that it shouldn’t be forced on people, after all she wrote when it’s ...read more

    In the closing of st Corinthians, Paul lays out some very practical advice on Christian living, calling for Christian men to “man up”. While his focus is primarily toward men it is also great advice for anyone within the Body of Christ.

    Man Up! 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.” William Jones, captain of the Marines on the 28-gun frigate the Providence, advertised in the March 20, 1779 Providence (R.I.) Gazette the need for "a few good Men" to engage in "a short ...read more

    Sermon 13 in Galatians series. Believers are compared to a child who has grown up and no longer needs a pedagogue. From slavery to freedom, from slavery to sonship!

    We hear the words “Hands Up” used in two ways.

    1. IT IS USED IN A NEGATIVE WAY For example, when a criminal walks into a bank and says “Hands up,” everyone within the range of his voice knows what he means.
