    Christians today are missing the undeterred motivation to faithfully live out their Christian life. Learn how being the living dead will help us get motivated.

    Did you know that you are the living dead? This is not a sermon on being a zombie, although it might sound like it. The disclaimer here is that there is no such thing as zombies. It seems the world is obsessed with zombies. According to financial experts zombies are pumping more than 5 Billion ...read more

    If churches want to help their leaders be all they can be, they must pay them well, treat them fairly, and pick them wisely.

    When I get a chain letter in my Email, I usually ignore it; but sometime ago, I came across this chain letter, which gave me a chuckle. It was written to church members looking for the perfect pastor. It said… “The perfect pastor preaches exactly 10 minutes, but thoroughly expounds ...read more

     | 4,273 views

    The New Year presents us with a second chance to Give more, help more and love even more in such a tangable way.

    How would God start off the New Year? All of the churches I have had the pleasure of being a part of had the same tradition of either unveiling a new mission statement or slogan to start the year off with a new focus. Most of the time this usually is divided into reaching the world, community and ...read more

    A Sermon for Proper 11, Series B preached 7/22/2012 as a guest speaker at Redeemer Lutheran Church, Estherville, Iowa. Redeemer was in the midst of a pastoral vacancy at the time I preached this sermon.

    I found it rather interesting that out of all the Sundays I could have come to visit your congregation and share a message from God’s Word with you, it had to be this one. In the readings you just heard that were appointed for today, we are given word pictures of sheep and shepherds. I just ...read more
