Faith

Contributed by Michael Luke on Aug 7, 2011

We need to understand what the Bible means when it talks about faith. We’re going go look at a passage in which Jesus describes a faith that can uproot trees. It’s the kind of faith that pursues the improbable; the kind of faith that changes lives.

“FAITH” (adapted from a message by Darrel Land) LUKE 17:5-10 OPEN I want us to talk about “Faith” this morning. What exactly does that word mean – faith? It seems to be one of those “churchy” words that mean different things to different people ...read more

Pay Out To Caesar What Belongs...

Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Jul 17, 2010

For July 4th, I wanted to cover the idea of Christian citizenship, but felt impressed that Jesus' admonition to "Render unto Caesar" didn't end with citizenship but expanded into the area of stewardship.

Life, as we all know, is a constant flow of choices. Do I eat something healthy or “reward” myself with something decadent? Do I get something done now that I don’t really want to do so I can enjoy myself later or do I procrastinate so that I can enjoy something now? Do I make ...read more

Abiding In Jesus' Reformation Words

Contributed by Christopher Martin on Oct 25, 2009

A sermon preached at an area Reformation Sunday worship service on 10/25/2009 at Elk Horn Lutheran Church, Elk Horn, Iowa. It uses Jesus’ words of the text as Jesus’ "reformation words" for the people of his day, Martin Luther’s day, and today.
