    Ministry Is Not Meant To Be A One-Man Show

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,087 views

    Do you need help? We rarely like to think that we do. How did Moses respond when someone said that he looked like he needed some help. Moses’ example is a great reminder of the help that God provides for us in those whom God has placed around us in our church to carry out the ministry together.

    “Do you need some help?” When someone asks you that question, what is your natural reaction? I think that our natural response might be a bit defensive, “No. I’ve got it. I’m fine” whether we really are or not. Why is that? There is a little part of us that doesn’t want to admit that we need ...read more

    Jesus' First Miracle Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Feb 20, 2019
     | 7,211 views

    “This just doesn’t seem to make much sense.” How many times do you think the people there for Jesus' first miracle asked that question? This event in the life of Jesus confirms exactly who Jesus was and how God works – amazing solutions that we would have never expected.

    Just this past week, one of my daughters was looking through the scrapbooks that my wife has assembled throughout the years of various events in their lives. One of the things you’ll find for each of them is the famous “First day of school” picture. Those pictures are kind of fun to look at and ...read more

    Is Jesus What You Expected?

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Feb 20, 2019
    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,657 views

    Jesus' sermon in his hometown synagogue might not have gone as you would expect. But Jesus shows us that his Word is sometimes welcomed, other times rejected, but ALWAYS powerful.

    Expectations. “Do you really think that we’re going to get all that snow that they say we’re supposed to get?” “Have you heard about the frigid temperatures that are predicted?” “Do you think that they’ll cancel school?” The expectations, the anticipation and the excitement was hard to escape. ...read more

    Ready For Discipleship?

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Feb 20, 2019
     | 5,610 views

    Are you ready to be a disciple of the Lord Jesus? Two examples: one from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament shows us what it takes to be disciple of the Lord Jesus. See how the Lord calls and equips his disciples.

    I have this reoccurring nightmare that goes something like this. It’s Sunday morning. I’m at church. The service is just about ready to start. I realize that I forgot to write a sermon. Why? I’m not sure. The church service is starting and I’m frantically trying to figure out what I’m going ...read more

    Blessed?

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Feb 20, 2019
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,077 views

    Where do you look to for evidence of God's blessing? Are you looking to the right places? Jesus tells us to look to some rather unusual places to find his blessing while also providing us with a list of warnings.

    How are you doing this morning? There used to be a man who when he walked into church on Sunday mornings and I asked him how he was doing, he would respond with a single word. He would say, “Blessed!” Every week he said the same thing. How many of us would give that response today? Maybe all ...read more

    A Living Christian Faith

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Mar 17, 2019
     | 4,983 views

    "I am... (fill in the blank)." What does it mean to be a Christian? More than church membership or checking a box. Christian faith is living, active and demonstrating.

    Fill in the blank: I am . How would you complete that statement? I am…tired. I am…awesome. I am…excited. I am…a husband. I am…a parent. I am…a friend. You could probably complete that sentence in about a million different ways. But if you are going to make one of those claims, you ...read more

    Hail! Hosanna, David's Son!

    Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Jan 16, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,207 views

    Our Advent Sermon Series was "David's Royal Branch," focusing on the coming Christ and His connections to David. This is the second sermon of that series, looking at Jesus' lineage. He is, indeed, David's son--but even greater, He is the Son of God!

    “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” With these two questions, Jesus turns the tables on the Pharisees once again. They, along with the Sadducees and Herodians had put Jesus to the test several times in a row. They asked Him unimaginable, theoretical, philosophical, theological ...read more

    A New Body

    Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Jan 16, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,403 views

    This sermon is the first in a series for January 2017 called "Start Something New." Many focus on body image issues when making New Year's Resolutions. In baptism, we have "put on Christ," and God sees His perfect, sinless Son. THERE'S your new body!

    It’s that time again—time to set lofty goals for yourself. Time to aim high for 2017. Time to dream that you might be one of only 8% of Americans who actually fulfill a new year’s resolution! Year after year, we do this to ourselves…no matter how many times we fall into the 92% failure category. ...read more

    Abigail - One Wise Woman

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 1, 2018
     | 11,680 views

    Have you ever found yourself caught in the middle of a really difficult situation? You didn’t ask to be there, but there you are stuck in the middle. How will you handle it? Pray for wisdom! That's what we see in Abigail.

    Abigail – Anyone know someone named Abigail or Abby/ie? Guessing that you probably do. That is a name that has remained relatively popular throughout the years – even reaching the 6th most popular baby’s name in the year 2006. Yes, there are quite a few Abigail’s or Abby’s around. But I wonder ...read more

    Zacchaeus - Never Overlooked

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 13, 2018
     | 10,106 views

    Do you ever feel that you've been overlooked? Work? School? Home? Zacchaues is a man that could have been easily overlooke and some would have prefered it that way. But not Jesus! God's grace overlooks no one!

    Do you ever feel overlooked? I think we’ve all been there a time or two. You put the extra hours and additional effort into a project at work to make that critical sale, only to hear your employer thank everyone except you. You clean the house, fill and empty the dishwasher, wash and fold the ...read more

    Barnabas - Giving & Receiving Encouragement

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 29, 2018
     | 6,614 views

    Could you use some encouragement? Couldn't we all? See how Barnabas is a wonderful example of the blessings of Christian encouragement. Encoruagement needed, given and received!

    “You look like you could use some encouragement.” Has anyone ever said that to you? Maybe they didn’t have to say it out loud, because the look on your face said it all. It had been a long week at work, it had been a disappointing meeting, it had been a rough day at school, it had been another ...read more

    Eunice - Leaving A Lasting Legacy

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 29, 2018
     | 12,007 views

    What legacy will you leave for your children? Eunice left a truly lasting legacy for her son Timothy that fully prepared him for all that he would face in this life, but most importantly what he would face at the end of life. Are we creating that same lasting legacy?

    It’s that time of year again – the beginning of another school year. College campuses will soon be flooded with wide-eyed freshman and teary-eyed parents. High schools will be filled with the sounds of locker doors slamming, three-ring binders clicking, and the quiet hum of Google Chromebooks. ...read more

    God's Kingdom Comes

    Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Mar 5, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,034 views

    A look at the 2nd Petition of the Lord's Prayer. This is part of our Sunday Lenten Sermon Series: The Lord's Prayer & Passion. (Note: series title is from CPH, but we hardly use any of the the sermon material they offer) Readings from 3rd Sunday in Lent.

    I want you to think back—back to your childhood. And there was a game that I am certain you’ve all played. And, even if you didn't play as a child, you probably played with your kids or grandkids. Hide and seek! You remember that game, right? When you’re the one who’s “IT,” you cover your ...read more

    Arise, Shine: Out Of The Darkness

    Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Mar 5, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,451 views

    "Arise, Shine" was our Epiphany 2018 Series. This was the second installment. In short, God calls us out of our darkness, no matter where we've been.

    Three months and ten days. Assuming our little baby arrives on her due date—which she won’t—but assuming she does, that’s how long my wife and I have left of getting a full night’s sleep every night. Three months and ten days. But, come April 24—give or take a few days—we’ll be back to the ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 11,101 views

    "Arise, Shine" was our Epiphany 2018 Series. This was the final installment (Transfiguration Sunday). In short, as Christ radiantly revealed His glory to the disciples, we radiate the light, the life, and the love of Jesus to all the world.

    The whole week had been one big mountaintop experience for us all. It was July, 2008, and there were about 30 of us—both high school youth and adults from Redeemer and Immanuel Lutheran Churches from my hometown of Seymour, Indiana. We had been on a servant event trip all week at Lutheran ...read more
