    This sermon deals with Christians playing Church instead of being the Church.

    HOW TO LIVE GODLY IN A CORUPT WORLD 11/11/02 We live in a time that is not like any other that I’ve seen. I know that I’m getting older even though I do not like to admit it.

    Man’s view of the church is often very different from the one Jesus demonstrated and Paul described.

    I can stand anywhere in my back yard and see my church. It sits rather majestically at the apex of our little town. Its stained glass windows chronicle its founders. Inside, a huge chandelier hovers over our pew. I don’t know who appointed us to sit in that particular pew, but it must have been ...read more

    Let The Church Be The Church

    God wants His church to grow and He commissioned us to evangelize, and if the church is doing its job it should grow, but numerical growth in itself is not evidence that God is blessing. It’s important to remember that the goal is to try to restore the church of the 1st century in its principles.

    Let the Church Be the Church Acts 2: 36 – 47 A newspaper reporter was doing a story on growing churches, and in preparation for that story he interviewed a number of preachers. I want to share the questions asked of these preachers and then give you my answers to them. One of the questions he ...read more

    Looking to Acts 2 to learn from the example of the early church what a church looks like that is headed in the right direction.

    As we started this series on the kind of church I want to be part of, we said that we aren’t talking about finding the right church as much as we’re talking about what needs to be true of us to see our church head the right direction. While it’s impossible to find a church of perfection, we can be ...read more

    The Holy Spirit is Our Helper. As we noted last week, the Book of Acts is the record of the ministry and work of the Risen Lord through those He saves by the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit.

    This is a sermon preached as part of a midweek Lenten series on the 6 chief parts of the Small Catechism on March 6th, 2013 at Emmons Lutheran Church, Emmons, Minnesota.

    Tonight as we continue our “Lenten Catechesis”, our journey is going to begin in a place where our Scripture lessons don’t take us: to the banks of the Jordan River. There, we see a man dressed in camel’s hair and a leather belt, who’s diet is locusts and wild honey. ...read more
