    In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus calls us to have complete and unfailing trust in God for our every need all the time.

    [Sermon preached on 9 September 2018, 16th Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Today, we look at the topic: Trusting in God’s care. Last week, we already touched upon this theme when we reflected on the words from Paul in his first letter to the Thessalonians: Rejoice always, pray ...read more

    in the midst of your suffering look forward to your completed, celestial, and Christlike body.

    Several years ago (2013), The Week magazine quoted TV chef Anthony Bourdain, who advised, “Your body is not a temple, it's an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.” Then they posed the question: “What would be a good name for a theme park ride based on the typical American's body?” Here were ...read more

    On Membership Part Two Series

    Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Jul 17, 2023
     | 1,436 views

    the Bible clearly teaches that Christians are members of the Body of Christ. But is local church membership Biblical? We examine this in this study. This is not a typical sermon, but more of a Bible study lesson for our congregation.

    In doing some serious study on membership and what that looks like in the Church at a local level one encounters a potential problem. It just isn’t there. That’s not to say it is bad, wrong, or sinful to have formal membership rolls, as having such is very practical and quite helpful to local ...read more

    David & Bathsheba: How To Not Be A Man After God's Own Heart Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jul 28, 2023
     | 1,793 views

    Normally the King would lead the armies in battle. But instead, King David sends out Joab and he stays behind at the palace.

    The title of this message is “How to not be a man after God’s own heart.” So, if you want to follow God and love God and live for God, just do the opposite of everything in 2nd Samuel chapter 11. There are two incidents that are the most famous in David’s life. The first is of course David’s ...read more

    We must know the true, so we can expose the false. We must know the false, so we can uphold the good. Jude encourages his readers to build themselves up in their faith followed by several commands for Christian living so they keep themselves unpolluted by the world.

    JUDE ADDRESSES CHRISTIANS WITH PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR LIVING IN THE WORLD – Jude 1:17-23 Jude 1 v 17 “but you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, Jude 1:18 that they were saying to you, “In the last time there shall be mockers, ...read more

    False Security

    No form of government can make up for the peoples’ failure to obey and honor God.

    It’s amazing which lessons we learn from our parents and which ones we don’t, isn’t it? Considering that I quit making my bed every day the minute I moved out, my mother would be amazed to realize how many lessons I do remember. One of my favorites is from a time when I think I was about 7 years ...read more

    Discerning The Source Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Dec 17, 2023
     | 1,442 views

    John is saying there are and will be a lot of deep fakes in the world. Not everything that claims to be spiritual is genuinely spiritual. The big question is how will we be able to distinguish between what’s real and what’s fake? How do we know if something is from God or not?

    Today, we come to the 4th sermon in our Walking with Jesus series. As we read through the book of 1 John, we see that God is not only preparing us for what we need for the present but also for the future. 1 John 4:1-21 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether ...read more

    Pilate was a gutless man, weak and scheming. He was a known murderer among the Jews. All the flaws of his character came out when he confronted Jesus. This message looks at truth, lying and other matters.

    Conformity Is This World’s Sheep Dog Trials – A Very Serious Matter Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 26, 2022
     | 2,243 views

    Conformity is the rule these days under increasing totalitarianism, but that will present problems for the Christian. One stands firm or compromises. To be faithful means holding fast to God’s word, not yielding our faith to distorted values so that we “fit in.” This is a difficult area.

    CONFORMITY IS THIS WORLD’S SHEEP DOG TRIALS – A VERY SERIOUS MATTER INTRODUCTION TO CONFORMITY The sheep dog trials found in sheep breeding countries is a competition where sheep dogs round up a group of sheep and ensure they are penned.

    Adam and Eve's sin brought a whole set of problems to the human race: conflict, pain, hardship, alienation from God and each other, and finally death. God could have scrapped all of creation but instead He announced a solution to the sin problem through Eve’s descendant.

     | 4,570 views

    We live in an age where people want to appear one way but, they are just the opposite of their appearance. Hypocrisy pollutes worship. The most beautiful singing, the largest gift and the most radical praise can all be done with the wrong motive.

    Sermon: The Danger of Deception Scripture: Acts 5:1-11 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
