    There is a need for a ’right’ belief in the life of the believer to re-awaken our passion for Christ

    In the last verse from our reading today from John 11:1-45 we read “Many of the people who were with Mary believed in Jesus when they saw this happen.” (John 1:45 NLT) The question I would like to ask this morning is, where did that believe take them? Remember how near we are to Good Friday, ...read more

    The Church is called the bride of Christ to stress the purity we should maintain, as well as the sense of anticipation we have awaiting the coming of our bridegroom.

    Max Lucado tells a story from ages past about a stately prince and a peasant girl who fall in love. This really a difficult one to understand. On the one hand is a prince who literally had the world at His disposal. There has never been a more perfect specimen of a man that ever lived. Nothing ...read more

    Christ’s resurrection is with us every day of the week in all that we do -- if we can take the step of faith to leave our safe secure setting like the women did and venture to the tomb.

    Easter Sunday - April 15, 2001 "Christ Is Risen!" SERMON TEXT (Luke 24 NRSV) But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, taking the spices that they had prepared. {2} They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, {3} but when they went in, they did not find the body. ...read more

    The Easter story calls us to follow in the footsteps of the women who were the first to encounter the risen Jesus: in seeking his presence day by day, in worshiping him as our Lord and Savior, and in going out to call people in.

    [Sermon preached on 1 April 2018, Easter Sunday / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] “Were you there when they crucified our Lord?” It is a rhetorical question. Of course, we were not there when they crucified our Lord. The drama that we watched at the beginning of the service gives us some idea of the ...read more

    When we take the bread, we are partaking of Jesus Christ. We are saying, “Yes, I believe you are the Bread of Life.” Jesus, Himself, is the nourishment that gives us eternal life.

    The Bread of Christ I am the bread of life. - John 6:48 The first electric toaster appeared in 1909. It toasted one side at a time and required you to pull the plug once it was done. The first automatic electric toaster was designed in 1919 by Charles Strite, a man sick and tired of burned toast. ...read more

    Notice, this verse starts off with the word, “Beware.” Any time we see the word “Beware” we need to pay attention!

    Some miss the gate. Some lose their way, by false teaching, counterfeit spirituality, or not putting beliefs into practice. Some are grounded in Christ, and stand firm in the storms of life!

    Healthy Disciples: GROUNDED IN CHRIST—Matthew 7:13-27 Read Matthew 7:13-14. This is troubling. We know that many people in the world are not interested in eternal life with Christ as Lord and King, and that troubles us.
