    A Reception To Remember

    Contributed by David Zachrich on Oct 6, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,804 views

    It is the season of weddings for many couples and families. Jesus used the story of a wedding reception to remind us that regardless of the place or people, weddings are costly … in more ways than money. He invites us to one that we do not want to miss.

    Friends in Christ, 1. It is the season of weddings! Last Sunday I substituted at Fairlawn Lutheran for Pastor Gau because his son was married on Saturday, and today I am with you as Pastor Tritten celebrates marriage for his son. Congratulations to both families – and, to you and your family ...read more

    How To Enter God’s Heavenly Kingdom.

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Oct 15, 2023
     | 1,259 views

    An easy-to-read parable, but with the most powerful of meanings. It’s a bit scary in times but it clearly outlines our purpose in life, and the consequences; encouraging others to follow Jesus.

    Introduction: Years ago, I was introduced and became fascinated with the topics on the kingdom of heaven, however if I was to introduce or even describe this kingdom, I would not use this morning reading to do so, because although this reading appears relatively easy to follow, it is rather ...read more

    The Most Important Invitation

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 21, 2023
     | 1,315 views

    Jesus, in the Parable of the Wedding Feast, gives us what is for us the most important invitation we will ever receive, to come to the feast. The invitation is for Eternal Joy, yet many make excuses not to attend. Join us this week as we look at the most important invitation.

    There are parables, like the Shrewd Manager, which are confusing without cultural background, and the Prodigal Son, which has many different applications. Today we have what I think is Jesus most complete and clear parable, and I hope to walk thru it and actually not surprise you at all. This ...read more

    The parable of "talents"; its connection to the words of Jesus in "holy week", Is the "talent" our "gifts", our "works", or the "mystery" we possess: the free gift of mercy and eternal life, must be shared not buried.

    The Deceptive Power Of A Good Excuse

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 29, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,769 views

    Excuses can rob us of God's best. They are an enemy of great faith and accomplishment. In this examination of Luke 14:15-24, we learn from Jesus's story about those who excused themselves from a great feast. Those people missed the opportunity of a lifetime.

    Intro We take as our text today Luke 14:15-24. Follow with me as we read that passage. “Now when one of those who sat at the table with Him heard these things, he said to Him, ‘Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God! 16 Then He [Jesus] said to him, ‘A certain man gave a great ...read more

    El Poder Engañoso De Una Buena Excusa

     | 937 views

    Las excusas pueden privarnos de lo mejor de Dios. Son enemigas de la gran fe y de los logros. En este análisis de Lucas 14:15-24, aprendemos de la historia de Jesús sobre aquellos que se excusaron de asistir a un gran banquete. Esas personas perdieron la oportunidad de su vida.

    Introducción Hoy tomamos como texto Lucas 14:15-24. Acompáñenme a leer este pasaje. “Oyendo esto uno de los que estaban sentados con él a la mesa, le dijo: Bienaventurado el que coma pan en el reino de Dios. 16 Entonces Jesús le dijo: Un hombre hizo una gran cena, y ...read more

    Predestination. Election. Free will. These are some of the most hotly debated doctrines in the church. We think we have to be in one camp or the other. But is that true? Let's find out together.

    Free Lunch!

    Contributed by Val Black on Nov 25, 2019
     | 3,288 views

    There are always claims of a "Free Lunch" but none of them prove to be true, with one exception. It's a real meal and it really is free.

    (This is a sermonette and/or illustration, that was taken from one of our Gospel tracts. It could be considered tongue-in-cheek. It simply explains the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and how to qualify to participate in it.) Someone once said there is no such thing as a “free lunch.” There are ...read more
