    In the story of Jesus' ascension, God reminds us to leave God's work to God (including our worry), to trust God's power to guide our witness, and to be prepared for Jesus' return.

    Acts 1:4-11 Marching Orders Three days ago marked “Ascension Day” on the church calendar. This is the day we celebrate Jesus’ ascension into heaven. Today’s scripture records the story. And as Jesus interacts with his disciples, we see him shift their focus from temporal to eternal; he broadens ...read more

    Holy Armor

    Contributed by Mari Larson on Jul 27, 2015
     | 3,432 views

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

    Several weeks ago, when I chose today’s Ephesians text to be my preaching text, I didn’t realize that the text corresponded with the weekend after our ChurchWide Assembly and how absolutely appropriate it would be today to talk about Holy Armor. Many of you have noticed that our ...read more

    John the Baptist steps out on the stage of history. He is a New Testament personality, but I classify him as an Old Testament prophet, because of his character and his message.

    -AD 7-8- Judean Wilderness John’s Ministry Begins (Malachi 3:1) Matthew 3:1, Mark 1:1-4, Luke 3:1-2, John 1:19-28 God planned the ministry of John the Baptist. We know this because we find him in prophecy. Malachi 3:1 says of him, “See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before ...read more

    where are we headed to do our own work or Gods work

    Where are you going? I remember when I was a kid. My mom would ask me where was I going. When I got older I was still asked where I was going. What the strange thing is I was asked at least 3 times this week by minister friends when I told them about how God is working here in Potterville they ...read more

    In the Bible “church” is by definition either all of the disciples of Jesus Christ or a specific group of believers. In 1 Timothy chapter 5, The Apostle Paul describes the church as people dedicated to doing whatever it takes to reach out and help others

    We continue in our series Hope Found Here, and this month our focus is on Hope in the Church. Many people associate the word “church” with a building. Often something old, draughty, with uncomfortable wooden pews and a smell of damp. I have spoken to people in Ashingdon and Rayleigh who did not ...read more

    It's All Happening So Fast

    Contributed by Steve Wilson on Mar 16, 2016
     | 4,375 views

    The crucifixion must have been devastating to Jesus' followers and the resurrection…well…that must have been scary and exhilarating at the same time. And it all happened so fast! It didn’t give them much time to process in their minds what was happening.

    Introduction Read 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 So many of us are overly comfortable with the story of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection that we have a hard time understanding what it was like for those who experienced it as it was happening. How would you have liked to have been one of ...read more

    As Paul continued to share wisdom and guidance with Timothy, he knew eventually Timothy would face false doctrine and false accusation. In order to overcome, he needed to be settled in the Word.

    Settled in the Word 2 Timothy 2: 14-18 Paul continued to offer sound wisdom and guidance to his young protégé, Timothy.
