    Breaking Down Barriers Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 12,120 views

    Peter’s response to these religious rule-keepers is a model for us as we face criticism or complaints. We’ll see that Peter’s answer is more pastoral than argumentative. I see seven correctives to help us handle criticism.

    This week I shared something positive on Facebook and got pulverized. The criticism came quickly and repeatedly. Normally I’m more careful about posting about controversial matters so I wasn’t prepared for all the venomous vitriol and overwhelming opposition. One person simply replied, “Oh ...read more

    The Body Of Christ – Part Ii Series

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Mar 11, 2016
     | 6,144 views

    There is only one body, but many members. We are all dependent on one another. It is not just the pastor’s job to care for the members of the body—that would be humanly impossible. Each member must function as he or she is called.

    We continue our study of His Church and begin by looking at 1 Corinthians 12. (1 Cor 12:13 NKJV) For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body; whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free; and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. 1 Cor 12:14 For in fact the body is not one ...read more

    My farewell sermon at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa preached 1/10/2010.

    I’ve found that of all the sermons that I have prepared to be preached from this pulpit, this one that I have to preach today has perhaps been the most difficult to write. For starters, it’s an emotional one because this is the last time I will preach to you from this pulpit as your Pastor. If ...read more

    Parts of this message was adapted from a sermon by Pastor Jerry Shirley. Today I want to focus on the idea of “Have I crossed the line?” Have I committed the unforgivable sin? People often ask what is the “Unpardonable or the unforgivable sin”?

    A pastor asked his congregation this question. “Is there anyone here who has never sinned? If there is, please stand up.” Well In the back of the room John stood up. The pastor said “John, are you telling me that you have never sinned?” “No” said John, ...read more

    Does the word of God promise to supply all your needs? Did Jesus say He would never leave you? Did He say He would keep you from falling and present you faultless before the Father's throne?

    Provision Granted. James 1:2-7 When James wrote his epistle some 30 years later after Jesus’ death. James humility is evident by the way he saw himself: "James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ" (James 1:1).
