    Church struggling to survive? Maybe you have cracks in the foundation or the wrong foundation.

    1 Corinthians 3:11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; If a church is built upon a man, it will not stand when the man is ...read more

    Twenty-Third Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year C: The Three Cannots Of Discipleship

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Sep 6, 2025
     | 281 views

    Jesus must have our highest allegiance as the center of our life.

    “Great crowds were traveling with Jesus (Luke 14:25),” we hear. He’d rather they be students, or learners which is what disciple means from the Latin word discipulus. So, he teaches them three “cannots,” which is a great way to weed out the casual observers from the more serious followers because ...read more

    Paralysis By Analysis

    Contributed by Jack Warford on Apr 13, 2001
    based on 104 ratings
     | 4,603 views

    Many churches today have a paralysis brought on by analysis; they are so busy gathering and reporting numbers that their lambs and sheep are not being fed, and their flock is not being cared for. Resulting in spiritual paralysis.

    Why are we so fixated on counting numbers? Why do most pastors think of success as it relates to numbers? Nowhere in the Bible does Jesus tell us to count the sheep. He tells Peter if you love Me then you will feed my lambs, care for my sheep, and feed my sheep. Many churches today have a ...read more

    I Got Hurt

    Contributed by Dale Carter Sr. on Mar 18, 2019
     | 3,458 views

    "I got Hurt" is almost a standard saying for those that leave a church or an organization. Some never get over it and some use it to help lessen the chances that the same hurt won't happen to others.

    Matt 18:21-22 21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

    In the foot-washing story, Jesus exemplifies servant leadership. Our church leaders should be exercising this idea.

    The Necessity Of Sound Teaching

    Contributed by Christopher Martin on Sep 20, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,877 views

    A sermon preached September 13, 2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa. It was Sunday School/Christian Education Rally Sunday. This sermon focuses on the necessity of sound teaching from the Word in the life of the congregation.

    One of the things we put a great deal of importance on in our American society today is education. We encourage our kids to “stay in school” and to do well in school. We now also live in an age where most of our high school graduates go off to college, or some type of specialized education in order ...read more

    We all have had someone come to us and say, "I have some good news and some bad news to tell you."

    I do not know about you, but I always cringe when someone says that, because I know the bad news has to be very bad when it has to be softened with some good news first.
