Identity Alive In Christ

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Jan 31, 2009

Paul has just finished his fit of praise for God’s wonderful heavenly blessings. We find that our identity is sealed in Christ. We also find that we are rich and God His power to work in us. In Chapter two we find the solution to mans situation -- sin.

What About Predestination? Series

Contributed by Warren Lamb on May 25, 2008

If you’ve been a Christian any length of time at all, you’ve heard the term “predestination”. What is predestination and what does mean? What about free will? How does it all fit together? Let’s see if we can sort this out, shall we?

What About Predestination? Ephesians 1:11 And, it is a subject that has come up in our discussions several times lately. As I was preparing for our time together today, it seemed as though God was prodding me to delve into this in order to help settle the confusion and put your hearts at ...read more

Remain Steadfast In God’s Word & Work

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Jun 26, 2023

It’s fitting for us to consider the Apostle Paul’s final words to his co-worker Timothy on this day (June 25), for the Lutherans of 1530 who presented the Augsburg Confession took seriously Paul’s encouragement and so should we: “Remain steadfast in God’s Word and work.”

On this day 493 years ago, Lutheran princes gathered in south-central Germany, in a town 50 miles outside of Munich and presented a confession of faith to the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V. This presentation of the Augsburg Confession on June 25, 1530 is generally recognized as the birth of the ...read more

It's Grace, Nothing More, Nothing Less.

Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Jun 21, 2012

What is the gospel? I would say if you made a survey you would get more definitions of that question than you ever thought were possible. We live in a time when the gospel has been twisted, taken away from, added to and changed to fit a secular society. S

It's grace, nothing more, nothing less. Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from ...read more

The Day Of Judgement Will Surprise Many People!

Contributed by Robert Webb on Jun 7, 2018

Not everyone who talks about heaven is fit for God’s Kingdom! Jesus is more concerned about our walk than our talk.We must act out of love and if we love the truth we will seek it and walk in it! If we love a lie we have no trouble finding it and it will

The Day of Judgement will surprise many people! Lip service does not impress God.

Bridging The Gap Or Christ In The Workplace Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

My struggle to bridge the gap between Sunday and Monday changed my whole perspective on life and made me a skeptical Christian. I mean this in a good sense. I became skeptical of easy and pat answers that Christians spout off that do not fit the reality of people's everyday lives.

I haven't always worn a suit to work. A couple of days after I married Lavonne I got my first job in working my way through college. It was at the John Morrell Meat Packing Plant In Sioux Falls, South Dakota. After a summer of that we went off to Bethel and I got a number of jobs. I worked in ...read more

Go! And Trust What You Cannot Yet See Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Jul 23, 2025

Have you ever tried to put together a jigsaw puzzle without the picture on the box? That’s what life often feels like. We see pieces, scattered moments, events, and emotions—some bright and beautiful, others dark and painful—and we wonder how they fit together.

Go! And Trust What You Cannot Yet See Opening Prayer: Heavenly Father, We thank You that we are not left to wander in darkness, for You have given us Your Word, Your Spirit, and Your Son, Jesus Christ. Today, help us to see—not just with physical eyes, but with eyes of faith. Teach us to trust in ...read more

My Need For Revival Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 13, 2024

Ezra tore his garment, pulled out some of his hair, and collapsed on the ground in a public place so that the remnant could see his grief. When you tore your garment in Bible times, you weren’t pitching a fit. Instead, you were showing deep remorse.

Every Christian and every church will need revival. Most every single Christian I know has times in their lives when they need revival. Revival is part of the pattern the Holy Spirit uses to reconnect you to the gospel.1 Revival and spiritual awakening is when a group of people rediscover the ...read more

Reflection B.7 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? / Isaiah’s Oracles Or ‘burdens’, An Environmental Dimension

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 11, 2020

What might lead us to conclude that God is in some way behind coronavirus? We need to see if present-day events fit the picture Scripture gives us of how God judges and 'End Times'. Isaiah's oracles clearly indicate that God judges by means of acts in the environment.

We’re looking at three questions. Is coronavirus a judgement from God? Are we living in end times? And, what does the Bible say about COVID-19? In order to answer them I’m looking at prophecies that were made maybe 2700 years ago. Why? In order to understand an event, we almost always draw on ...read more

Rightly Dividing The Word:

Contributed by William D. Brown on Dec 10, 2008

God has given us His Word and we’re to be careful not to try and make His Word fit what we may have heard down through the years just because we may have heard or been taught certain things about the Bible according to what Grandpa may have said.

RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD: 2ND Tim. 2:15 Today I’ll talk for a little while about rightly dividing the WORD. And let me say here at the very beginning that I’m certainly not a Bible scholar by any means, but I do believe that God has given us His Word and we’re to be ...read more

Who's Your Daddy?

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Apr 23, 2013

Wikipedia states that, “Who's your daddy? is an expression used as a boastful claim of dominance over the intended listener. We see it in sports when someone beats their opponent. It’s like another saying, “I own you”. It’s fitting to use in a spiritual s

Keep Your Salt Levels High Series

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Sep 28, 2024

Why Wikipedia beats printed encylcopedias. How doing the hardest thing (what's that?) can help lift our spirits when we are low. And how that fits not just with Jesus's saying about saltiness but with the rest of today's bible readings. A sermon from September 2015

Have a taste of this [hand out teaspoon of salt to someone in the front row] “If salt loses it’s saltiness with what will you season it?” I have two things that I would like to draw out of today’s texts about ways in which we can lose our saltiness - one personal and one public.
