Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Aug 4, 2022

Now when you have the number of Christians in Jerusalem growing past 5000 to 6000 or 7000 you are going to have logistic problems and jealousy. And they did. The 12 needed help. “Anyone can be great because anyone can serve.” Those are the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In Jesus Holy Name July 10, 2022 Text: Acts 6 Redeemer Lutheran “The Face of an Angel- Defending Jesus” In the 4th chapter of Acts we are told that if we want to be saved, we should believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Peter was clear: “Salvation is found in no one ...read more

What Prayer Isn't

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 11, 2023

Even though we pray, we may wonder at times: “Why do I pray? What does it accomplish?” Along the way, we may pick up some misperceptions. I want to talk about what prayer isn’t.

The widow of the parable was pretty frustrated. In the Army, if soldiers feel they’ve been treated unfairly, they have several options: They can use their chain-of-command, see the Chaplain, contact Equal Opportunity, call the Inspector General’s office, or even write their Senator. We have the ...read more

The Fourth Of July's Favorite Verse

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jul 1, 2023

Many preachers and Christian leaders often quote on the Fourth of July or Memorial Day 2 Chronicles 7:14. They believe the “people” referred to in the passage are the American people, and the “land” is the American land. Can we apply this verse to America and our home countries today?

Today I would like to focus on a verse that many preachers and Christian leaders often quote on the Fourth of July or Memorial Day. Can you guess what verse is that? 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, "If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn ...read more

This time we see the fertile, good soil as the Sower broadcast his seed. This is what everyone wants. Also we see the obligations of sowers, the care of the seed, and how this relates to the gospel. We must never handle the bible deceitfully.

Thanksgiving 2025: Is It Possible To Give Thanks In All Circumstances?

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Nov 21, 2025

Many people view Paul's advice in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 as unrealistic and even annoying advice. But he was not naive. He showed us three reasons why we should do it.

Let's read 1 Thessalonians 5:18 – “give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” The phrase “in all circumstances” means in everything or in all situation. That means when we are sick, face difficulties, fail, or lose someone we love, we are told to give ...read more

Marching Orders For The New Year

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 28, 2024

For 40 long years, the Marching Orders for Israel had been: “Take another lap around Mt. Sinai.” Now, at last, Joshua received new Marching Orders. "Move into your Promised Land!" Let's do that in the new year.

Jesus Gives Sight, To Those Who Want It (John 9:1-41) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 8, 2022

Jesus gives physical sight, and spiritual sight. By chapter's end, the only blind ones left are the Pharisees. Have to be open-minded, and know what you don't know.

At this point in the gospel of John, some of you are maybe feeling a little confused. John is not a very easy book. Jesus' words seem complicated-- they are "from above," as he is from above, and we struggle to climb up, and view things from above, and understand them from ...read more

Behold Your King! (John 18:28-19:16) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 6, 2022

When we look at Jesus during his trial, what do we see? Who do we see? Also, Pilate should not be read sympathetically. He's not open-minded, and he fears the wrong thing/person.

When you read commentators on the Gospel of John, there are two very different ways to understand our story today, about Jesus' trial before Pilate. Everyone agrees that the focus of today's story, in many ways, is on Pilate. He is the only one in every scene. He's like the glue that ...read more
