    Sermon #18 in Galatians series. What does it mean to be free in Christ. Spiritual maturity is measured not in how many freedoms you take, but in how many you limit or give up for the sake of others.

    08/05/2007 “Called to be Free” (Gal 5:13-15) INTRO What is freedom, really? Freedom is power. The idea of freedom includes the power to choose, to make your own decisions. We know a bit about freedom in this country. Say what you will about America, but it is still the freest country in the ...read more

    For the Children of Israel Egypt was their place of bandage, held in captivity for hundreds of years they suffered a cruel and inhumane lifestyle. They began to worship idols and assume all characteristics of their captors. However, God heard their desp

    “Why would anyone want to go back to Egypt - When the Promise Land is yours!” By Pastor M.L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING:- Numbers play a very important role in the Bible.

    Solomon had a vision that included all the peoples of the earth. He realized that God’s house wasn’t only for the covenant people, but for the seekers of the whole world as well. Nothing can contain God. He is big enough to handle all of our problems.

    How would you like to be remembered? Some of us want to be remembered with just a simple tombstone, while others want to be remembered for who they were and what they did in life. King Solomon wanted to be remembered as the person who built the temple. The reading we heard from 1 Kings 8:22-30, ...read more

    Many Christians are looking to anything and everything to sustain them. But they tragically miss the main thing. They've already been made alive in Christ. It's time to discover the Source of life, and begin living from the Source-to the glory of God!

    Romans 6:8, 11 I. Living is a Christ Thing! Philippians 1:21-22 A. Living is Christ living in you. B. Living is Christ living as you. II. The Word must become flesh in you. John 1:14 A.

    Don't be discouraged; instead, trust God to answer your prayers and accomplish His plan in ways far beyond what you or I could ever imagine.

    No Ordinary God (Daniel 9:20-27) One of the best Super Bowl ads in recent years was a Volkswagen commercial in 2011 that featured a child dressed in a Darth Vader costume, attempting to use "the force" around the house.

    The Real Day Of The Lord

    The Biblical term "day of the Lord" is a lot more involved than most folks believe.

    Thirty-Third Sunday in Course 2022 The phrase “the day of the Lord” appears in the OT thirty-five times. But what does it mean? We’ve grown up thinking that the “Lord’s Day” is Sunday, because it’s the day of Christ’s Resurrection. Or maybe it’s the day of Christ’s return, a day nobody can fix on ...read more

    David was Israel's greatest earthly king. But Israel needed a better king. Lectionary text for Christmas Day, the day the better King was born.

    Wanted: A Better David 2 Samuel 7:1-17 The meteoric rise to power of King David is the stuff of a Hollywood movie, an old Hollywood movie, anyway.

    Jesus doesn't say that the poor widow gave more than anyone else. Rather, he says that she gave “more than all.” But why did Jesus say that she gave more than all? I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

    INTRODUCTION (SECURE ATTENTION) & BACKGROUND OF THE PASSAGE: PRAY before starting the sermon. ILLUSTRATION: {There is an old story about a king that was coming to visit a certain land. The people in the land were so excited that a king would grace their little village with his presence. They ...read more

    Jesus promise to prepare us room in his Father's house. There is more to that promise than the idea of our souls going to heaven to be with God. What did Jesus try to tell his disciples?

    [Sermon preached on 22 April 2018, 3rd Sunday after Easter / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Last week Saturday I conducted a funeral. It was a bright sunny day. Mostly, when I attend a funeral the weather is gloomy, windy and cold. But over the years, I have also attended funerals of some very special ...read more

    I wonder if Jesus were to enter your Temple, the place designated as your place of worship, what would He think? Would He see your Temple had been replaced by thoughts of business and making a buck? What do you daydream about during worship?

    Video is shown of Jesus’ throwing the Money-Changers out of the Temple before sermon. This is three month long study of the last week of Jesus’ earthly life. This is greatest week in history. Bracketed by Palm Sunday on one end and Easter Sunday on the other, this is the most important week in ...read more

    Jeremiah continues to list Judah’s losses after the Babylonian invasion. All her precious things have gone; the nation is exposed in shameful defeat; the Temple which was sacred was stripped by Babylon, even the holy of holies violated.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 3 – JUDAH DESPISED THE TEMPLE – NOW ALL THE PRECIOUS THINGS HAVE GONE - CHAPTER 1:7-10 Currently we are looking at Jeremiah’s description as a summary of the catastrophe that befell Jerusalem.

    The Scarecrow And The Pelican – Very Apt Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 3, 2022
     | 2,798 views

    The message begins with the insanity of idolatry. Idols are no more than scarecrows in a cucumber field. In great distress David resembled a pelican in the wilderness. Applications are drawn from these two objects to Christian living and personal affliction.

    Passage: Matthew 21:12-17 Intro: This is a story that we are a little uncomfortable with. 1. because we are a little bit taken aback by the strength of Jesus’ behavior. 2. He is knocking over tables and chairs, hitting people with a whip. 3. if we would be honest, we would almost ...read more
