    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 10, 2020
     | 2,004 views

    Everything that Jesus does, or that people do to Jesus, gives Him an opportunity to teach or preach to us hard-skulled folks.

    Tuesday of the 28th Week in Course 2020 Wash Up!

Why do I have to do that?” In these days of almost overdone attention to ...read more

    By seeking the Lord, we will find Him, in word and sacrament, each week as we gather here. By His power our sins are forgiven, and we are filled with His grace, His very life. We can smile always because of God’s deliverance.

    Fourth Sunday of Lent 2025 Forty years did the people of Israel travel here and there through the southern desert. That was time enough for their nation to become the butt of jokes for all the people around them. It’s true that when Joshua took command from Moses, now taken to God, the Lord dried ...read more

    We need to be justified. "Just as if I had never sinned" is what justified basically means – and that is the title I have given to this sermon.

    JUST AS IF I HAD NEVER SINNED Rom 3:9-31 INTRODUCTION Q. What direction does a Polar Bear, in its natural habitat, look when it looks back? Looks to the right? Looks to the left? And when it looks straight ahead? A. In each case it was looking South. It’s on the North Pole! Q. What does a ...read more

    If you want to gain the respect of others and even God Himself, put compassion above criticism, put others above yourself, and put giving above receiving.

    The senior pastor of a large church walked into the sanctuary alone and felt an overwhelming sense of God's holiness. He went to the front, knelt down at the altar rail, and began to beat himself on the chest, crying out, “Oh Lord, I am nothing!” A few moments later, the associate pastor ...read more

    Surpassing Righteousness Matt. 5:17-48 Introduction: In the beginning verses of Matt. 5, Jesus is preaching to the multitude and is sharing revolutionary thoughts.

    The Thanksgiving That Doesn't Count

    Contributed by Steve Miller on Jan 4, 2005
    based on 51 ratings
     | 5,705 views

    Real thanksgiving is done with the right attitude. The prayer of the Pharisee was arrogant and despising toward the Publican, therefore it did not count. This sermon was developed for a community Thanksgiving service.

    The Thanksgiving that Doesn’t Count STEVE MILLER, November 23, 2004 Luke 18:9-14 (NKJV) Do you remember the television commercial for Citibank with the two ladies in the grocery store?

     | 2,933 views

    We all struggle to be better, to improve, etc. But struggling in becoming a disciple is a product of pride. The sooner we understand this, the sooner we can make struggle an asset rather than a liability.

    Introduction Where are we today? I mean by that, in our study about the Christ and His Church, are we making progress? Are we moving toward Christ or are we satisfied to stay back, keeping our distance? Are we unsure we are willing to make the kind of commitment Jesus Christ wants of us? It is ...read more

    Beware Of Hypocrisy Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 25, 2025
     | 80 views

    In His encounter with Pharisees and Scribes, Jesus discusses the characteristics of hypocrisy. To His disciples He notes the promises of hypocrisy with a stern warning. And yet, in the gospel, we find great hope for hypocrites.

    It seems like nearly every month (maybe even more frequently if we look hard enough), we receive news about some Christian leader who fails morally, gets caught, and is removed from ministry. Whether it’s pastors, professors, performers, or politicians - failure happens. We see hypocrisy ...read more
