    Many people boast about their wisdom, might, or riches, but Jeremiah shares in this message the only true reason to glory. If you want to glory in anything, glory in God and proclaim His power throughout the world.

    Jeremiah 9:23-24 Intro: Jeremiah was a young priest denouncing the practice of worshiping images. Jeremiah gave reason to worship the true God, His creative power and providential care. Although Jeremiah's message was strong and his faith deep in God, the people would reject his ...read more

    Paul reminds us that our Joy must be defended against things that rob of us of Joy.

    NTRO: 1. So far Paul has taught us that it’s important for us to understand or define triumphant Joy, then he revealed to us how we can refine or develop that Joy… but tonight Paul sees it important to remind us that our joy must always be defended. 2.

    Beginning with Lincoln's speech at Gettysburg....we dare not forget God's offer of justification and the reformation which restored to the "church" the truth of justification by faith.

    In Jesus Holy Name September 24, 2017 Series: Augsburg Confession Redeemer A C #5 Justification Text: Romans 5:1-2 “We Dare Not Forget” The message today is not about the “how you can earn your way into heaven”. You can not. But it is about how you can have peace with God. At ...read more

    John The Baptist And What He Said And What He Heard

    Contributed by David Mcnally on Jan 17, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,342 views

    John the Baptist, the last of the OT prophets or the first of the NT, proclaimed Law and the need to repent, but also Gospel and how to be forgiven. He looked forward to Jesus and must have been elated when he was told what Jesus said and did

    Matthew 11: 2-15 The message John the Baptist preached and the message he received Lutherans are very firm on teaching Law and Gospel and emphasising the correct distinction between the two. We need them both, Law and Gospel, God's Law, rules, duties and ...read more

     | 16,439 views

    This message was for the funeral of a older woman who found success in life, but rediscovered what was missing late in life -- a relationship with her Creator.

    It is a pleasure to hear your personal thoughts and memories of Ms. Olean. I must admit, I did not know her well. I only became acquainted with her on the few Sundays that she has attended church here with her daughter, Yvette. She was already older, and had lost much of the vitality of her youth. ...read more

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Nov 4, 2015
     | 3,697 views

    Introduction to message about the doctrines commonly known as "Calvinism", and the delightful surprises I found when studying them.

    Meet an Arminian. Not by choice or even knowledge, mind you, but an Arminian nonetheless. So what's an Arminian anyway? A follower, whether or not he knows it, of Jacob Arminius, late 16th century theologian. The doctrines then being preached by John Calvin and most other reformers that involved ...read more

    By Grace Unto Works

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 7, 2017
     | 4,501 views

    A debate has raged for centuries regarding salvation. Is salvation an act of grace, obtained through works, or the result of a combination of grace and works? The Bible is clear regarding this question.

    By Grace unto Works Ephesians 2: 8-10 Our text today deals with doctrine that has been debated for centuries. This debate was central to Martin Luther’s Ninety-Five Theses being nailed to the chapel door in Wittenberg, Germany, sparking the Reformation. Men and scholars have long debated the means ...read more

     | 2,758 views

    Life has its share of difficulty and uncertainty. At times, we all wonder where life will lead and how we will overcome the obstacles we face. Even in the worst of situations, we can take comfort knowing our sovereign Lord is in control.

    Sovereignty within Mayhem Esther 6:1-9 Although their hearts are not filled with joy, Mordecai and Esther must have been encouraged somewhat by her meeting with Ahasuerus. He had extended her favor, while granting her request. The banquet with the king and Haman was scheduled, and Esther would now ...read more

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Oct 22, 2024
     | 508 views

    We are not very inclined to think of Martin Luther as a hymn-writer, and yet, the great Reformer was in this gift of music and wrote some 37 hymns. Celebrating the 500th anniversary of the first Lutheran song book.

    In Jesus Holy Name October 27, 2024 Text: Romans 3:23 Redeemer “Will Reformation Replace All Hallowed Eve?” This year Lutherans around the world will be celebrating Reformation while the rest of the world will be celebrating an ancient traditions we call Halloween. I doubt ...read more

    Matthew 20:1-16 teaches God's generosity, faith and obedience, letting go of grudges and envy, and working together in God's kingdom. How can we apply this parable to our lives today?

    Introduction: Good morning, brothers and sisters. Today, I would like to share with you a message from the Word of God based on the parable of the workers in the vineyard found in Matthew 20:1-16.

     | 876 views

    We willingly accept the blessings, but must also embrace the responsibilities.

    BLESSED TO SEE GOD. Matthew 5:1-12. The Sermon on the Mount is directed towards those who are already disciples of Jesus (Matthew 5:1). This is important. It counters both those religious hopefuls who find the Beatitudes impossible to keep, and those religious moralists who glibly announce, “I ...read more

    The Rich Young Ruler Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 3, 2023
     | 3,573 views

    When the rich young ruler comes to Jesus, we have a living example before the eyes of the disciples of the contrast. Here is someone willing to pay the price of spiritual discipline, yet someone who could not with childlike faith give his all to Christ.

    What are some of the qualities that our present-day culture put’s value on? Our society values youth. The beauty industry capitalizes on the quest for the eternal youthfulness. They sell skin creams, facial packs, hair color and offer cosmetic surgery. It is all because people value ...read more

    Resurrected In Life

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 31, 2019
     | 3,707 views

    Paul began this second chapter with the sobering reality of man's condition apart from a relationship with Christ. He is utterly hopeless and condemned. Fortunately, God intervened, providing a Remedy!

    Resurrected in Life Ephesians 2: 4-7 In our previous study, Ephesians 2: 1-3, we discovered the utter depravity and hopelessness of mankind within the condemnation of sin. Because of sin, he is dead spiritually, separated from God, and in danger of eternal judgment. Their depravity in sin dictates ...read more
