    Sadness almost always accompanies loss. We all feel sad sometimes. The scripture that deals with sadness the most, and in the most agonizing way, is the book of Lamentations written by the prophet Jeremiah.

    the biblical revelation of the original goodness of creation upholds the goodness - the holiness - of God. And it makes the source of evil outside of God. Because the source of evil is outside of God, God can and will conquer evil and ultimately save sinners.

     | 2,957 views

    Now is the time to look back over the past two years of the pandemic and see where God was clearly present and at work. It is also an important time for us to look at ourselves and how we reacted to this time of crisis and testing

    Transformed From Trash To Treasure

     | 9,835 views

    We cannot go back in time to change the course of our lives up to this day. But we can go to Jesus to be transformed and to have our future re-directed. Jesus takes what is trash and turns into his precious treasure.

    [Sermon preached on 17 June 2018, 4th Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Have you ever wanted to go back in time? To go back to a point in time in your life just before something bad happened to you—something that you could have avoided? And you think: “If I had only thought ...read more

    His Satanic Majesty, The Devil

    Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Mar 24, 2025
     | 564 views

    This sermon will give us greater understanding of the one who wants to drag us to hell, the devil. We will come to know that Satan is the originator of lies, and the deceiver of mankind.

    Don’t let this title have you to believe that I am going to give a glowing report of the devil. No! It is more of a sarcastic title for one whom the bible calls the prince of the air, one who has a short reign to try and destroy as many of you as he can. So, this is my time to give you an ...read more

    Could Even Judas Have Been Forgiven? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 13, 2025
     | 350 views

    Did Judas have to lose hope? On the third day after Jesus died, when the apostles gathered in the Upper Room, would there have been room for Judas Iscariot? He was, after all, one of the Twelve, chosen by Christ.

    Monday of Holy Week 2025 St. John the Evangelist probably had three or four decades or more to contemplate the life and fate of his fellow disciple, Judas Iscariot. He then wrote his clear and crisp description of the man’s moral character. The incident described Mary of Bethany ministering to the ...read more

    Love Came Down At Christmas

    Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Dec 22, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,629 views

    At Christmas if all we speak about is Jesus and the manger in isolation of his life of love and sacrifice we are doing the gospel a disservice. Christmas is a redemption story - tell it with all its glory.

    As we prepare for Christmas, sometimes I wonder if we have allowed the Savior to be stolen from our celebrations. I say this because “Merry Christmas” has been replaced with “Happy Holidays”, businesses exclude Christmas by saying “holiday sale” and when someone asks if you are ready for Christmas ...read more
