    “the Requirements Of Revival” - Part One Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,596 views

    The Road to revival begins with God's people humbling themselves before Him. But what does that look like?

    From 2 Chronicles 7:14 we learn who the recipients of revival are, what the requirements of revival are, and what the results of revival are. Last time, we considered how God’s people are the recipients of revival. When we forget who we are, we tend to live in such a way as to bring dishonor ...read more

    A midweek Lenten sermon based on John 20:21-23 that covers the Office of the Keys and Confession from Luther’s Small Catechism. Preached 3/13/2013 at Emmons Lutheran Church, Emmons, Minnesota

    At the beginning of the service, I mentioned that tonight, we were going to be looking at what is perhaps the least known or understood part of the Small Catechism, which is “The Office of the Keys.” When I said that, perhaps some of you were wondering “Did Pastor Martin misplace the keys to his ...read more

    Prayer - Praying Like Jesus

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 22, 2013
     | 3,495 views

    This is the 3rd talk in a series, and this week the focus is on learning to pray by paying attention to the Master Teacher himself, and by learning from him. Then, we actually need to learn by praying!

    Jesus said, “Your Father [in heaven] knows what you need before you ask him” (6:8). An elderly man was on his deathbed. He wasn’t afraid of dying or of death, but he was having trouble praying. When a pastor from the church visited him one day the old man told him about his ...read more

    Why Light Doesn’t Always Lead To Sight Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jul 21, 2025
     | 367 views

    John doesn’t blink when he says the ultimate reason the Jewish people don’t believe is because of God. What you are seeing in Jesus’ ministry is the same that Isaiah saw in his ministry. God has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts.

    One of the biggest challenges for the early Christian leaders was how many Jews were rejecting Jesus. The first two things Jesus’ disciples say about him in the Gospel of John are “We have found the Messiah” (John 1:41). And, “We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, ...read more

    Playing God PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 68 views

    The sermon urges us to surrender judgment, embrace mercy, and let God transform our critical spirit into kindness and grace toward others.

    Some of us carried a quiet critic into church today. He rode in the car with us, sat beside us during worship, and has opinions about everything from traffic to the tempo of the first song. He’s subtle—civil even—but he speaks in sighs, shrugs, and silent scores. We know his voice: the whisper that ...read more

    To establish that God's presence is significant in every city - and He uses us to call them unto salvation. We are reminded not to trust in our skills in preaching - but in the power of the gospel of Christ to save. We are charged to plant the seed and allow God to raise the plant.

    "I Am The Good Shepherd” – He Laid Down His Life - John 10 – Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 2, 2022
     | 3,431 views

    Part 2 of "I am the Good Shepherd" looks at what the good shepherd does and then Jesus as the Good Shepherd. Then we examine Jesus as The Sacrificial Shepherd who gave His life to save the sheep. To close, Jesus is the Chief Shepherd.

    “I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD” – HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE - John 10 – PART 2 The study of the great “I AMs” of John’s Gospel is so lovely as we look at the Person and Ministry of our Lord Jesus. In all His offices He is serving His Church and all the individuals in the Church. Those are termed sheep, and ...read more

    Third message in this series, this one discussing the fellowship we get with God through Christ. Warning - Rev. 3:20 is discussed in the context of Christ’s fellowship with the Church, not as an evangelism verse (since it’s not...)
