    The Necessity Of Sound Teaching

    Contributed by Christopher Martin on Sep 20, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,964 views

    A sermon preached September 13, 2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa. It was Sunday School/Christian Education Rally Sunday. This sermon focuses on the necessity of sound teaching from the Word in the life of the congregation.

    One of the things we put a great deal of importance on in our American society today is education. We encourage our kids to “stay in school” and to do well in school. We now also live in an age where most of our high school graduates go off to college, or some type of specialized education in order ...read more

    Desitiny Distrations that stop us from being doing what God has designed us to be and do. You can’t be denied you destiny, Just miss it. Also listen at www.preaching.co.nr

    Destiny will not be Denied but Destiny can be Missed. Jesus tells the story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-31. The destiny of the son was assured as long as he stayed close to his father. The son’s destiny was to inherit the estate. Until that time, with his father and family, his role was to ...read more

    Overwhelming Grace: The Prodigal Son, The Unjust Steward, And You!

    Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Sep 19, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,285 views

    This sermon examines the relationship between the prodigal son, unjust steward, and the hearer. It draws upon the parallels among all three to make a Gospel application. I am indebted to Dr. David Schmidt's observations on this text found on 1517.org for the idea.

    A few weeks ago, I bought the movie Dunkirk on sale, which is about the evacuation of over 300,000 British troops after the Fall of France in World War II. I tried to watch this movie at night as I was going to bed. Between falling asleep, helping with Mia, or checking my phone, the movie took ...read more

    Message In 1peter – Number 4 – Born Again Through That Which Is Imperishable, But What Is It? – 1peter 1:23 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 9, 2023
     | 1,516 views

    Peter teaches on the new birth. Being born again by the imperishable seed. There can be no regeneration of the human soul in any person’s life, which is dead to God, without the operation of the word of God. Therefore a preacher must be aware of the importance of the quickening word in preaching.

    MESSAGE IN 1PETER – NUMBER 4 – BORN AGAIN THROUGH THAT WHICH IS IMPERISHABLE, BUT WHAT IS IT? – 1Peter 1:23 [A].

    Can God's Love Toward Us Change?

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 27, 2021
     | 2,246 views

    There is a quote going around that essentially says, "No matter how good we try to be God cannot love us more and no matter how bad we are God cannot love us less." What does God's Holy Word say about that?

    Can God’s Love Toward Us Change?

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 1, 2025
     | 362 views

    Parts 5 and 6 go together but had to be split. Here we look at the results of harvest 100-60-30, contention in churches, and gospel preaching. The parable of the sower is a remarkable one and we are seeing this as we go. We look at how the parable of the talents are related.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE FIRST - THE SOWER OR RATHER THE SOIL – Part 6 of 7 This next message continues from the previous one. We begin by looking at why some seed produced 100, some 60, some 30. [[EXAMINING THE HARVEST RATES FROM THE SOWING]] One very primary application of this parable ...read more

    “Do you know what God wants?” He wants to be believed. I could have learned that lesson earlier if I had paid attention to the response of the Ninevites to Jonah’s preaching.

    On 9-11 our nation needed someone to tell us they understood our fears, our enemy and our future. It needed someone to say they had a plan to deal with our enemy and that together we would overcome. Essentially, that's what Revelation 4 is all about.
