    Bio Of A First-Class Dad

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 15, 2019
     | 4,504 views

    Why was Abraham called "Father of us all?" Because he was a first-class Dad. He was a Man of Leadership, a Man of Faith, and a Man of Prayer. If we want to be first-class Dads, we should follow his example.

    BIO OF A FIRST-CLASS DAD Gen. 17:5 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE DEFINITION OF BARBECUING It’s the only type of cooking a "real man" will do.

    This sermon (preached the Sunday after the 2009 ELCA Churchwide Assembly) illustrates the Ephesians "Armor of God" imagery with the actions of the ELCA.

    How To Spread The Good News Of The Gospel

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 17, 2015
     | 5,136 views

    We are to be good shepherds, servant leaders whose job description includes leading others to God. God empowers us as leaders and as followers to build up, to influence and to persuade others.

    When we spread the good news of the Gospel, we can expect to face opposition. The apostle Paul was no exception. He boldly preached the Gospel to the Thessalonians in spite of suffering and mistreatment. First Thessalonians 2:1-8 is a model for all Christians to follow, especially when they are ...read more

    We see God reaching out to a foreigner and leading him to faith in Himself. This is the goodness and grace of God. It cannot be earned or be bought.

    God’s grace goes international. Let’s read 2 Kings 5:1-19. God remembers His own and cares for His own, but His own does not mean only the people of Israel. • It refers ultimately to everyone who is willing to acknowledge God, believe and worship Him, as the one and only true God. • So God’s ...read more

    Jesus endured much as He was crucified on Golgotha. He was beaten, humiliated, mocked, and blasphemed. He endured all of that for you and me. He took our place on the cross. I am thankful for the Man in the middle.

    The Man in the Middle Mark 15: 22-32 Today we begin the most sobering and somber section of Mark’s gospel, dealing with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ our Lord.
