     | 13,733 views

    Our days are like pearls strung together on a thread. One event triggers another but we can’t foresee what’s to come. Not so for God. God dwells in eternity. He exists in the past and in the present and in the future … all at the same moment.

    What is truly the one thing that money can’t buy? It’s time!

    Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 30, 2018
     | 8,684 views

    The church is not relevant to many Christian parents, because if it were they would do everything they could to encourage their children to attend church.

    Commentary on the Book of Ephesians By: Tom Lowe Date: 1/17/18 Lesson 25: Children and Parents (Ephesians 6:1-4) Introduction The teaching of this passage is profoundly counter to today’s culture.

    Please Pass The Salt

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Sep 19, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 26,978 views

    Jesus takes a simple image – no ambiguity - no hidden meanings - nothing out of the ordinary -- just common, everyday salt. Like the parables, Jesus uses a simple, concrete object to teach the people a profound lesson about the Kingdom of Heaven.

    TITLE: PLEASE, PASS THE SALT SCRIPTURE: ST. MATTHEW 5:13 Michelle and I enjoy entertaining by preparing meals for our friends and guests. The oven is usually going or the smoker is fired up in the backyard. On Saturday mornings I enjoy cooking breakfast for the family and oftentimes have a few ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 19,233 views

    Life can be troubling and even scary sometimes. There will be times that we just don't believe anybody is going to be there for us... or that anybody cares. But the Bible says there IS someone who is there and cares. Do you know why that matters?

    OPEN: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltaFMO3BaNQ (a video clip from the TV series: “This Is Us”) It’s a dark and stormy night. It’s scary and Kevin is all by himself.

    The concept of imitating God in Ephesians 5:8-14 teaches us to walk in light.

    Scripture Last week I began a sermon series in Ephesians 5:1-21 that I am calling, “Be Imitators of God.” In his letter to the Ephesian Christians, the Apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 5:1a, “Therefore be imitators of God.” That is Paul’s overall command for this section of Scripture.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 12,120 views

    As kids we sang: "I have decided to follow Jesus. No turning back!" But is that the reality of our adult lives? Are we willing to deny and sacrifice ourselves and all we have for Christ's sake?

    [Sermon preached on 3 June 2018, 2nd Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] When I was a kid—I think I was eight years old at the time—I attended a Summer Bible Camp. I will never forget it, for many reasons. In particular, I remember how at the end of the day’s program, we always ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 13,573 views

    We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. We are not called to withdraw from public life into our safe and cozy Christian circles. We are called to make a difference in a world full of darkness, fear, violence, and foolishness.

    [Sermon preached on 21 October 2018, Reformation Sunday / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] We sing it almost every Sunday in church with the kids: “This little light of mine—I’m gonna let it shine. Everywhere I go, I’m gonna let it shine.” But I wonder how many of us really think about what we sing. ...read more
