We might read a Christmas card that says "Peace on Earth" and not think anything of it. But the hope of God's peace is revolutionary.
In years past at Christmas time you would see the phrase, “Peace on Earth,” quite a bit. It might be on a banner in a store window or on Christmas cards or decorations in someone’s front yard. We did get one Christmas card with the phrase, but not as many as in years past. As the years go by we ...read more
Scripture: Luke 2:14
John the Baptist was a spiritual "bulldozer" calling us to move the rhythms and rhymes of this world towards God's justice.
December 6, 2020 Hope Lutheran Church Rev. Mary Erickson Isaiah 40:1-11; Mark 1:1-8 The Earth Mover Friends, may grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and Christ Jesus our Lord. “Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground ...read more

Jesus addressed the need for all believers to serve as the salt of the earth and light to this dark world. We will discover as we move through these verses both are necessary and much needed in our day. Each of these elements has a distinct and profound effect on their surroundings.
The Salt of the Earth Matthew 5: 13 We have spent a considerable amount of time dealing with the portion of the Sermon on the Mount known as the Beatitudes. I think you would agree those verses were a challenging and insightful study. As our Lord concluded His thoughts concerning the beatitudes, ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 5:13
Denomination: Baptist
Peace is not the absence of war or strife but the presence of God. Peace comes through personally knowing the person, that person is the Lord Jesus Christ.
Today, the sermon topic is “Peace on Earth?” The biblical meaning of peace or “shalom” means far more than the absence of war or conflict. Shalom speaks of wholeness, completeness, of well-being, tranquility, prosperity, and security. Rabbinical texts speak of achieving peace on a social level, the ...read more

Denomination: Evangelical/Non-Denominational
The Bible says that God reveals Himself in His creation, and that is so true when we really look carefully at Bible Science. Here we take a look at the heavens and earth
Bible Science Before I was a Christian, I banked my life on science, and would scoff at anyone foolish enough to believe in that book written by man. I thought I had all the answers I needed in my technical books, and the Bible was not one of them. But like many people who scoff at the Bible, have ...read more

If we are not identified to be a part of this spiritual Kingdom of God, we cannot enter the physical Kingdom of Heaven when we die. Our self-life is the main enemy of the life of Christ. The Bible calls this ‘flesh’.
Mathew 11:12 “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force”. We notice through the scriptures, there are phrases like Kingdom of God and Kingdom of Heaven. God says everyone doesn’t get into heaven but only the violent ...read more

Jesus told His disciples to receive the Holy Spirit's power and be witnesses for Him everywhere. The Spirit empowers us to spread the gospel to the ends of the earth and see people get "hooked" on Christ.
Think about your friends, family, and school. These are the people close to you. Share Jesus' love with them. Then think about the next town over, or the people you meet when you're out and about. That's a bit further. And then, think about people in other countries. That's as far as you can reach. ...read more

Understand and live out our calling as Christians to be the 'salt of the earth', to hunger and thirst for righteousness, and to let our lives reflect God's grace and teachings.
Good morning, family. Today we're diving into the heart of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 5:13-22. Before we delve into the Word, let's consider a profound quote from Karl Barth. He once said, "Grace must find expression in life, otherwise it is not grace." Let that sink in. Our faith ...read more

What will life be like in eternity with God? Revelation 21-22 is an end-of-the-book description of a wonderful eternity awaiting the faithful.
What will life be like in eternity with God? Revelation 21-22 is an end-of-the-book description of a wonderful eternity awaiting the faithful. Revelation 21:1-4 reveals “a new heaven and a new earth” that God will dwell among His people, and there will no longer be any death, mourning, crying, or ...read more
This sermon makes an attempt to define Heaven as it is described in the Holy Bible but all of the words and images are inadequate.
Heaven … what will it be like? Do you want to go to heaven? A SS teacher asked this question to his kindergarten class and all but one boy raised his hand. The teacher asked the boy why he didn’t want to go to heaven. The boy replied that he did want to go to heaven but he thought the ...read more

The new Jerusalem is both a place we enter, and the church itself. The new Jerusalem=the bride=the church. The focus is on living faithfully-- conquering-- so that we are allowed in.
I'd like to start this morning by simply rereading our verses from last week, Revelation 21:1-8. They start, with what John "sees": (1) and I saw a new heaven and a new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth departed, and the sea wasn't in it any longer, (2) and the ...read more
Scripture: Revelation 21:6-27, Revelation 22:1-21
We live in a dysfunctional world where hope has died. Revelation provides hope for all Christians that there is something better for the faithful.
Today’s world seems to be completely dysfunctional. Every time I turn on the news I don’t know about you, but I get disgusted. Depressed even. Shootings occurring just blocks from my house. Robberies and break-ins in my own neighborhood! This past October someone went on a murder spree in a ...read more

- Fanny Crosby (1820-1915 was probably the most prolific hymnist in history. Though blinded by an incompetent doctor at six weeks of age, she wrote over 8,000 hymns. About her blindness, she said: It seemed intended by the blessed providence of God that I should be blind all my life, and I thank ...read more

Psalms of Praise /Sacrifice of Praise Last week we had a very light overview of the Psalms, not in content of genera but in general. The big idea was that when we read the Psalms we are looking at the Temple hymnal. We also focused on the idea that when we read poetry in scripture we need to ...read more
