    based on 1 rating
     | 8,338 views

    Obeying the dictates of the Scripture means you first must understand the Scriptures.. A person requires the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to fully understand the deep spiritual truths of the Word.

    Biblical Authority has been the sermon series for the last two weeks. We had discussed that the Bible is the Word of God and as such it is God’s revelation of Himself to man. The Bible is without error, or we could use the word “inerrant” or “infallible.” Because it is God’s word and without ...read more

    As Paul discusses the transformed life Christians are called to, he addresses the need for Christians to submit to the governing authorities and to pay their obligations of taxes and respect.

    A. A young boy, who wanted $100.00 very badly, prayed for two weeks but nothing happened. 1. Then he decided to write God a letter requesting $100.00. 2. When the postal authorities received the boy’s letter to God, they decided to send it to the President of the United States. 3. The President ...read more

    Freedom

     | 23,287 views

    Freedom in it’s most basic form is the choice . Every morning Adam and Eve woke up they had the freedom to choose to obey or disobey God.

    Freedom. What is freedom? Is freedom being able to come and go as you please, do or don’t do as you please, say anything you want? Yes If we go back to the beginning, God created Adam and Eve, gave them dominion over all of creation. They could go where they wanted, do what they wanted. They ...read more

     | 133 views

    Trusting Jesus’ word brings healing and hope; faith in His authority, not our worthiness or understanding, invites His miraculous power into our lives.

    Friends, perhaps you walked in today with a knot in your stomach and a prayer under your breath. Maybe the doctor’s words still echo. Maybe the bill is bigger than your paycheck. Maybe the bedroom is quiet and the tears come louder at night. What if the miracle you need is as close as a word from ...read more

    The Rejected God

    Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 22, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 10,820 views

    We can call ourselves Christians, go to church, give our tithes, etc. and yet have rejected God effectively. The picture Jeremiah gives of life in Judah comes close to life in the Christian West, with several gods competing for our loyalty.

    [Sermon preached on 4 March 2018, 3rd Sunday in Lent / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] It is so endearing at times to see little children in a big supermarket or shopping mall. They come in with mom or dad, but as soon as they see something interesting—toys, candies, pets, or anything else that ...read more

    Put your trust in a God who can make a way even when there seem to be no way. Obey Him and do as He says.

    Have you ever been in a situation that is quite hopeless? This passage tells us of a woman in a very difficult situation, but God opened a way out for her. He did a miracle through a prophet. God had a plan even in a hopeless situation. God had a way even when there seem to be no way. A ...read more

    What a tragedy when people fail to make the decision to obey the gospel. We will study a story of a tragedy of another delayed decision in Scripture.

    “The Tragedy of the Delayed Decision” Introduction: Stephanie will be glad to tell you that I am bad about putting things off. It’s not that I mean to most of the time, I just put things off sometimes until the last minute, it is not a habit that I am proud of. Without due dates and ultimatums I ...read more

    Discover The Real Worth Of Your Work

    Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on Sep 1, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,574 views

    We express our worth through our work by working hard, obeying with the right motives, remembering the rewards and knowing the real Master.

    Unless we see the worth of our work, we will never find fulfillment in doing it. Unless we see why we are doing what we are doing, we will never be happy with our jobs. Let me clarify that our worth as persons is not dependent on our work. Even if our work vanishes, our worth does not vanish with ...read more

    Moses obeyed God, but the intial reaction was Pharoah’s orders and the Hebrews’ backlash. Sometimes we get misunderstood too. But hang in there anyway!

    Good Intentions – Exodus 5-6 At their school carnival, our kids won four free goldfish (lucky us!), so out I went Saturday morning to find an aquarium. The first few I priced ranged from $40 to $70. Then I spotted it—right in the aisle: a discarded 10-gallon display tank, complete with gravel ...read more

    This message looks at the cost to Mary of bearing Jesus (in terms of scandal and reputation) and then asks what the cost might be for us to obey God.

    - just read vv. 1-2 to open sermon. - only 4 women (besides Mary) are mentioned in this genealogy and they aren’t the big names of the O.T.
