  • Biblical Fasting

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jul 24, 2017
     | 4,493 views

    Fasting has been misused by mystics and sometimes remained a mystery to many committed Christians. Although opinions are mixed on the issue, I believe we can carve out a Biblical position that, while perhaps incomplete, will lay a good foundation.

    Biblical Fasting (Matthew 9: 14-15) 1. This is perhaps the most awful pun you will hear. 2. Mahatma Gandhi went around barefoot quite often, and eventually his soles turned very tough and thick. Of course he also was a devout Hindu. Later in life he also fasted a lot, becoming thin and ...read more

  • Nurturing A Merciful Heart

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 24, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 20,617 views

    Message explores the dangers of religion without the heart of God toward people. How do we nurture a heart of mercy? Pastor shares four key points in answer to that question.

    Matthew 9:13 8/28/16 Intro I want to begin this morning with a man named Matthew. Matthew’s family name was Levi.1 He became an apostle and wrote the gospel that carries his name. But when he met Jesus, he was far from that. He was a tax collector. Tax collectors were hated by their fellow Jews.2 ...read more

  • Come Series

     | 17,657 views

    First in a series on our church's Discipleship Path.

    ENGAGE I’d like to ask all of you to think for a moment about how you got here this morning. I’m not talking about the mode of transportation that you used, but rather your spiritual journey that resulted in being a part of our gathering today. For me, that journey began as a small child. ...read more

  • St Matthew, St Peter, St. Catherine And The Medieval Papacy Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 16, 2017
     | 4,176 views

    Human sin and human weakness will never be absent from even the hierarchy, and, as Catherine taught, prayer and repentance must always be part of our arsenal against evil.

    Feast of St. Matthew 2017 Revolution/Reformation The apostle Matthew was someone who nobody would pick out to be the disciple of the Jewish prophet, Our Lord Jesus Christ. Sometimes called Levi, his Hebrew name, Mattheus was the worst kind of collaborator with the Romans. He is called a te????? ...read more

  • Transformed From Trash To Treasure

    Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 19, 2018

     | 9,740 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

     | 1,428 views

    We look forward to the kingdom of justice and love Jesus would establish after His Resurrection and the Descent of the Holy Spirit.

    Saturday of 13th week in course For the last few days we have been hearing the prophecies of the minor prophet Amos, who came from the kingdom of Judah–David’s kingdom–to the large but heretical kingdom of Israel. This prophetic vision, like the others we have heard, tells Israel that their sins ...read more

  • Levi - Tax Collector Turned Disciple Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jul 13, 2022
     | 2,483 views

    This sermon focuses on Jesus' calling of Levi (Matthew) and the legalistic attitudes that people often adopt about who is worthy of God's forgiveness and who is not.

    [Reading Mark 2:13-17] In today’s passage out of the book of Mark, we don’t find Jesus throwing a birthday party for a prostitute, but we do find him hanging out with some unsavory characters called tax collectors and other sinners because that is really what Jesus would do and that is what Jesus ...read more

  • Giving Us What We Need Most Series

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 27, 2022
     | 1,880 views

    Instead of healing the paralytic, Jesus first meets his most important need, the forgiveness of his sins, much to everyone's annoyance.

    In our Gospel Lesson this morning, we meet up with Jesus just after he returns “home.” We don’t always think of Jesus having a home, but this was not his own anyway. In this case, home seems to mean Peter’s home in Capernaum. Shortly before our Gospel, both Matthew and Mark share a similar record ...read more

  • I Really Want To... But! Series

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Sep 2, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,062 views

    The command to follow Christ as a disciple, as an ambassador, and as a proclaimer of the good news is a command. Yet most of the time we treat our mission in this world as something optional.

    I really want to... But! Jesus told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned (Mark 16:15-16 NLT) As Christians, we know we are supposed to share our faith. Almost every ...read more

  • Assumptions Series

    Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Apr 1, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,462 views

    What we assume about any given situation can either help or hurt us.

    April 02, 2022 We are beginning a new series today on Discipleship entitled: Following in the Footsteps of Jesus. A Disciple is a person who becomes the student of a specific teacher – in our case Jesus: • Matthew 4:18-20 - As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, ...read more

  • Transformation And Multiplication Series

     | 3,261 views

    The ultimate result of Jesus Driven Discipleship is Transformation and Multiplication

    April 09, 2022 A disciple is more than one who acquires information from someone who is smarter or more knowledgeable than they. There is the idea of relationship/community/intimacy. A disciple “adheres to” - holds fast to, clings to, bonds to, is attached to, is faithful to - the teacher. ...read more

  • Mercy Instead Of Sacrifice

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 11, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,402 views

    The Pharisees criticized Jesus for eating with tax collectors. They thought they were better than Matthew, as they went around acting holy. Outward show doesn’t determine a person’s relationship with God. It's about the heart.

    This morning I am going to touch on the subject of “hypocrisy.” It’s difficult to preach on this subject matter because none of us are without some form of hypocrisy in our life. Jesus told us not to point out the splinter in our brother’s eye until we have removed the log in our own eye (Matthew ...read more

  • Tolerating Tolerance

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 9, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,654 views

    Last week's sermon was on acceptance. So with a follow-up sermon on tolerance you might be wondering if it's going to be redundant. Though it's common to use the words interchangeably, they are different for a reason.

    TOLERATING TOLERANCE Last week's sermon was on acceptance. So with a follow-up sermon on tolerance you might be wondering if it's going to be redundant. Though the words accept and tolerate are often used interchangeably there are times when they're not. You've heard the phrase, ...read more
