    Worship Is A Verb!

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 31, 2017
     | 5,417 views

    Worship services are first and foremost to offer worship to God through Christ Jesus, rather than satisfy the attendee. Many have lost sight of the fact that Church services are more about the attendee giving than receiving.

    “I used to attend congregational worship services but I quit because I got nothing from it.” “Church is boring.” “When I sit in the pew during church services, I think about how much more I could be accomplishing if I had stayed home.” Through the decades, I have heard a multitude of people ...read more

    Have you ever thought of what difference a word of compassion, encouragement, or affirmation can make in someone else's life? This sermon calls us to recognize others' needs and to show our love for them in the appropriate love language.

    [Sermon preached on 26 August 2018, 14th Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Somehow, widows have been on my mind this past week.

    God-Breathed And Useful

    Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 19, 2018

     | 6,501 views

    What is the Bible? And what to do with it? This sermon dives into the question of divine inspiration and the dual divine-human character of the Holy Scripture. God's word is alive and active, and it continues to speak to us personally whenever we open the Bible and our hearts.

    [This sermon was preached on 1 July 2018, Apostles' Sunday / 3rd yea, ELCF Lectionary] What is the Bible? And what to do with it? These are the two questions that the Apostle Paul is trying to answer in 2 Timothy 3:14–17. These were very relevant and very critical questions in the church that ...read more

    Transformed From Trash To Treasure

    Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 19, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,076 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

    Follow Jesus!

    Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 19, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 11,036 views

    As kids we sang: "I have decided to follow Jesus. No turning back!" But is that the reality of our adult lives? Are we willing to deny and sacrifice ourselves and all we have for Christ's sake?

    [Sermon preached on 3 June 2018, 2nd Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] When I was a kid—I think I was eight years old at the time—I attended a Summer Bible Camp. I will never forget it, for many reasons. In particular, I remember how at the end of the day’s program, we always ...read more

    Salt And Light

    based on 3 ratings
     | 12,951 views

    We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. We are not called to withdraw from public life into our safe and cozy Christian circles. We are called to make a difference in a world full of darkness, fear, violence, and foolishness.

    [Sermon preached on 21 October 2018, Reformation Sunday / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] We sing it almost every Sunday in church with the kids: “This little light of mine—I’m gonna let it shine. Everywhere I go, I’m gonna let it shine.” But I wonder how many of us really think about what we sing. ...read more

    Hard Of Hearing

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 9, 2023
     | 725 views

    How much of what God wants us to hear have we actually heard? And does it matter how much we hear if we don’t do what we’re told?

    Have any of you visited the Trump Plaza in Atlantic City? That’s what I kept thinking of as I meditated on this parable. Because just as I was leaving Presbytery last Tuesday evening, I ran into Bob Higgs, who is Executive Director of the Atlantic City Mission Council. He was carrying several ...read more

    Jesus is God in the flesh. He wants us to believe in Him and for people to submit to His authority with genuine faith.

    “The Authority of Jesus” John 2:18-25 One Sunday a visitor showed up: - to a more formal, liturgical church - than he was used to attending.
