    O, How Shall I Receive You?

    Advent is the time of preparation for the coming of our heavenly King. How do we receive him in our Christian community and in our personal lives? Are the gates wide open, or does he need to knock at our door, locked from the inside?

    [Sermon preached on 3 December 2017, First Sunday in Advent / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] This past week, Finland had the honor of welcoming three royal visitors: Prince William of the United Kingdom, Prince Daniel of Sweden, and Prince Constantijn of my own home country, the Netherlands.

    Forgive Them Father, They Do Not Know What They Are Doing.

    Despite the sin in our lives, and the consequences it had for Him, Jesus loves us with a love that defies human understanding, and forgives us unconditionally.

    “Forgive them Father, they don’t know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34) “Forgive them Father, they don’t know what they are doing”. Ten pretty simple, unambiguous words which do not leave much scope for misinterpretation, and yet ten words that have ...read more

    History records many incredible conversion experiences of Christians, but some of the most remarkable conversion experiences occurred in and around the time of the crucifixion of Jesus.

    Palm Sunday is a day of stark contrast. An all powerful King enters on a colt, is rebuked by sinners who think themselves saints, and weeps over the city that is about to join in his execution.

    Dakota Community Church April 1, 2012 Palm Sunday King of Mercy Today is Palm Sunday the day on the church calendar when we traditionally mark Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem beginning the final week of His life and leading up to the crucifixion on Good Friday followed by the glorious ...read more

    Nicodemus Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,778 views

    Nicodemus Is one of those interesting and important people we meet in the Bible. Jesus met with him and told him that he must be born again. However, He could not understand how someone could enter again into their mothers womb. He missed Jesus' point completely.

    Note: form will not accept Scripture ref. (John 3:3) and topics (Nic. meets secretely with Jesus) (Nic. defends Jesus) Nicodemus— Who was Nicodemus in the Bible? All that we know about Nicodemus in the Bible is from the Gospel of John. In John 3:1 , he is described as a Pharisee. The ...read more

    Three Crosses On A Hill: A Study In Evangelism

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Nov 6, 2022
     | 1,464 views

    When we preach about the sacrifice of Jesus Christ for our sins upon the cross, we forget that there were also two men crucified on crosses next to Him. Each man had the opportunity to look to Jesus for grace and mercy. Their response determined their eternal destiny.

    The agony of the crucifixion and the final hours of Jesus are recorded in all four gospels, each written with their own unique perspective of what happened that dark day (Matthew 27; Mark 15; Luke 23; John 19). Each one tells of the jeering, mockery, contempt, and seething hatred towards the ...read more
