    The Rejected God

    Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 22, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 10,761 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

    As Abrm was on his journey through life, God called. As we journey through life, God calls us.

    Our Journey Through Life Genesis 12: 1-9 I heard a story recently that a sailor started talking with a pirate, and they take turns telling about their adventures on the seas. The sailor notes that the pirate has a peg-leg, a hook-hand, and an eye patch. The sailor asks "So, how did you end up ...read more

    That's Just The Way I Am Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,017 views

    People are formed by NATURE and NURTURE, which they cannot control, but also by CHOICES, which they can control. They can choose VALUES, PERSPECTIVE, and ACTIONS. Yet how free to choose are they? Those who receive Christ are "born of God" (John 1:12-13)

    “THAT’S JUST THE WAY I AM”—Genesis 25:19-34 (Series on the life of Jacob: “Life is Messy; God Is Faithful”) “That’s just the way I am.” People say that, and maybe we say it about ourselves: “I’m shy…I’m not very tactful…I’m not assertive…I’m not a sensitive guy…My emotions take over…I’m a ...read more

    The Faith Of Abraham And The Power Of God Series

     | 9,363 views

    Abraham trusted God late in his life, and believed that God would accomplish the impossible. For this reason, he is called the Father of the Faith for all who believe.

    It is no coincidence today that we arrive in our study of Genesis at chapter 12 and the call of Abraham. We started our study in Genesis on January 9, 2011, exactly one year ago today. At that time, our Family Life Center was under construction, the steel being erected. We had no idea that one ...read more

     | 3,107 views

    I’m really glad God came up with the idea of Christmas. But what did God have in mind when He created Christmas? What motivated Him to bring Christmas to us?

    Christmas is really enjoyable on so many levels. But a widow names Stella has an unusual experience on Christmas. Stella’s first Christmas as a widow brought incredible loneliness. One day her doorbell rang and she was greeted by a messenger holding a box. “What’s in the box?” she asked. The ...read more

    The Choices God Makes

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 17, 2022
     | 2,111 views

    Scripture uses the term “the elect” to describe Christians. That word (eklogç) has the meaning of picking or choosing. Christians are the chosen ones of God. He made the choice, and He set the standard for the choice.

    Alba 3-13-2022 THE CHOICES GOD MAKES Romans 9:6-33 It's not fair! That is a cry from many people about situations that don’t go their way! Today in our society there are many who have taken this to a new level! Someone will say, “It’s not fair that little Johnny’s team has to lose, so let’s ...read more

    Liberal Theology In The Churches – Address Number 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 20, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,866 views

    Either what the Bible tells us in its totality is true, or it is to be dismissed as fable and we can discount anything we want to. Those who are liberals in churches and colleges deny parts of the bible and adopt humanism to try to adapt the bible. God is supreme.

    LIBERAL THEOLOGY IN THE CHURCHES – ADDRESS NUMBER 2 SECTION 3: THE ELEMENTS OF LIBERALISM (I am presenting some thoughts on this subject helped by some excellent material by Matt Slick who is founder of CARM, the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry.

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jan 1, 2023
     | 1,669 views

    Understanding (and being able to defend) creation is critical for all believers. Why? Because, Creation causes us to marvel at who God is by seeing His complete authority over everything.

    Alpha and Omega, Part 1 “In the beginning …” Genesis 1:1-5 Introduction - Begin the year with “one purpose”: Knowing there is a God! -- Resolutions change and fluctuate, so instead let’s go with “one purpose” -- This will frame our year, word: GROW; and allow us to dive deeper - ...read more

    The searchlight of the Bible is turned on the Harry Potter phenomenon.

    The Harry Potter Funeral Text: Deuteronomy 18:9-12 Today we are here to pay our disrespect to Harry Potter of Hogwarts School of Witches and Wizards. We will not open the casket because he, like Lazarus, "stinketh." Little Harry will be buried at sea because Jesus said that the bottom of the ...read more

    This is about choosing to follow God.

    We have so many CHOICES. Cereals, soaps, cars. The Model-T was offered only in black. Minor choices: socks, Coke or Pepsi, car color. Major choices: marriage, career, where to live. Give a brief history of exodus and conquest. Read Joshua 24:14-18. The people were faced with a ...read more

    Pressure (tests are part of life) how we handle our tests determine whether we are promoted to the next level or not.

    Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall: 23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him: 24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from ...read more
