An Ascension Gift Basket For You!

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on May 22, 2023

Although the Bible doesn’t call it a “gift basket” it does use the word “gifts” in connection with our Savior’s ascension into heaven. Because of Jesus' ascension we receive many gifts. In Luke's account of the ascension we notice three.

We call them “gift baskets.” They might be for holidays like Christmas or Easter. Or they may be given for someone’s birthday, or perhaps an anniversary. Now as you think of gift baskets what makes them different from other gifts? Although perhaps you can think of many more things that make ...read more

Inspirational Intent

Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Jun 1, 2024

Taking time to understand the original intent of anything God has spoken is a protective measure for us in our walk. This sermon discusses two scenarios found in the Bible with very different outcomes based on rightly dividing the word of truth.

Inspirational Intent When we take the time to understand what the original design of something was, we find inspiration we might not have otherwise encountered. This is inspirational intent. As we sit down to read the word of God, we can find ways to apply it to our lives. Application is what ...read more

Joshua And The Walls Of Jericho

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 22, 2020

This is a great children's story. But as adults, it prompts some difficult questions. Is it even true? How could God destroy an entire city? It's also a wonderful example of God's people overcoming a seemingly-insurmountable obstacle through faith and obedience.

JOSHUA AND THE WALLS OF JERICHO INTRODUCTION We’re moving from our series on prayer to a new series called ‘Bible Stories for Grown-Ups.’ There are some famous stories in the Old Testament which we may have heard as children, perhaps at home or at Sunday School.

Bout With Doubt

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 10, 2025

Doubt is not the same as unbelief; God invites honest questions and meets us in our struggles through His living Word and Spirit. King Josiah’s tender heart toward Scripture shows that even when visible results seem small, faithfulness matters because God speaks through His Word and through us.

Introduction – When Doubt Knocks A young man knelt before his beloved, ring in hand. “Sweetheart, I love you so much. I want you to marry me. I don’t have a car like Johnny Green. I don’t own a yacht like Johnny Green. I don’t have a house as big as Johnny Green’s. I don’t have the money of ...read more

Lessons From The Reformation

Reformation reminds us to return to God’s Word, rely on grace alone through faith alone, and worship Christ alone, without intermediaries.

Awakening In The Body And Blood

Contributed by James Cloud on Mar 27, 2010

How many times do we neglect the sacrament of the Eucharist (Communion) for the "thrills" of the modern age? This is a call back to the Early Church and what they held about this Most Blessed Sacrament.

Awakening in the Blood and Body St. John 6:44-59 (ESV) “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.

There are a few specific scripture references to parenting, but I think we need to look at the entire scope of scripture to really get a complete picture of how we are to parent. After all, God is the ultimate parent as our father, so all of Scripture giv
