Sermons on Philippians:

Enter Through The Narrow Door!

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 26, 2025

In this Gospel Lesson we hear our Savior speak words of warning and encouragement. Jesus said that there is only one way to enter heaven. He said that we should make every effort to: “ENTER THROUGH THE NARROW DOOR”

“How do you get into heaven?” A Sunday school teacher asked that question of her 2nd grade class. It seemed like a simple question for a group of little Lutherans. But no hands went up. Silence. Crickets. The teacher was confident that the students knew the answer, so she waited patiently. ...read more

Giving To God: A Revival Is Waiting  

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Oct 20, 2024

We often pray and desire for revival to happen. But are we going about it in the right way? Do we know what is holding it back? Is there something practical that God says we’re not doing? There is something that God specifically points to saying, “Return to Me, and I will return to you.”

Sermon – El Roi, The God Who Sees Me

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 18, 2025

God responded to her suffering, not her prayer, revealing Himself to her and giving her the assurance that He had seen her affliction. This encounter provided Hagar with strength and the knowledge that she was not alone, but rather seen, known, and understood by God.

Sermon – El Roi, The God Who Sees Me Scripture - Genesis 16:1-11 “Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had not been able to bear children for him. But she had an Egyptian servant named Hagar.

Sermon 3 - Paul's Powerful Prayer Series

Contributed by David Owens on Sep 29, 2025

Paul's powerful prayer for the Colossians calls upon God to supply them with very important spiritual help that will enable them to live a life worthy of the Lord. These are things we can pray for ourselves and others to receive from the Lord.

Good morning, church family. It's a joy to gather together! To come together as one body, to worship, to pray, to learn, and to grow.

Anchored In The Lord PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 24, 2025

Trusting God’s care frees us from worry, as He values and provides for us even more faithfully than He does for the birds and fields.

If you’ve ever stared at the ceiling at 2 a.m., rehearsing the what-ifs and worst-case scenarios, you’re not alone. The mind races, the heart paces, and the shadows in the room grow longer with every anxious thought. Worry has a way of tightening its grip—white-knuckled, breath-shortening, ...read more

A Faith-Filled Heart

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Feb 5, 2023

In today's message we’ll be looking at a faith-filled heart. Augustine said, “Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.” In keeping with this description, we’ll be looking at these 3 main qualities of a believing, patient, and child-like heart.

The Gift Of God

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Feb 6, 2023

We do not deserve any good thing from God, but He is a giver. Indeed, it is “by grace (we) have been saved through faith, and that not of (ourselves); it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast."

Self Control Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Feb 22, 2023

There are really two halves to today’s message. First, I want to speak on the importance and need for growth in a believer’s life, and second is the importance of self-control.

Do you have everything under control? I mean everything within you – do you all of you in control? Let me just get real serious, real quick here: what is the one item in your life you have trouble controlling? Do you have total self-control in the area of food? Drink? Sex? Your tongue?

Out Of The Overflow

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Mar 19, 2023

Too often, preachers are guilty of preaching that the overflow is always financial. Here we take a look at how there can be other overflow as well

We don’t know a lot about them as a church. We don’t know how they worshipped; we don’t know what songs they sang, which translation of the bible they preferred, and we don’t know what the preacher was like. What we do know is how they gave.

How Much Did Your Salvation Cost?

Contributed by John Hamby on Dec 5, 2025

God’s grace is freely given but it certainly is not cheap! I really don’t think that it is possible for human beings to fully understand what it cost God the Father and Jesus Christ His son to offer forgiveness for our sins.
