Table Talk Series

Contributed by Charles Scott on Jan 16, 2006

Holy Communion may be understood as communication of Christ to the Christian; thus table talk may be a more comprehensible way of expressing that Christ meets us at Eucharist than the popular understanding of transubstantiation.

2nd after Epiphany B Table Talk Psalm 139__1-17 Almighty God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ is the light of the world: Grant that your people, illumined by your Word and Sacraments, may shine with the radiance of Christ’s glory, that he may be known, worshipped, and obeyed to the ends of ...read more

A sermon about God's love and desire for relationship with us.

Psalm 139:1-18 “The One Who Knows Us Best” Johnny was a lost child. He didn't like himself. In order to find identity and self-worth, he ran with any crowd that would have him. The crowd that took him under their wing were even more lost than Johnny. They found promise in ...read more

Don’t Lose Sense Of His Presence

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 10, 2011

God is present in our lives but we do not always sense His presence, because life’s distractions and calamities often drown out His voice. We need to remember Him (think of His presence), recognize Him (trust His presence) and realize His presence (tune

God did not designed life to be lived alone. When God put man in the Garden of Eden, He was there. Gen 3:8 says He walks in the Garden. Man sins and hides from Him. • Genesis described man’s life as a WALK with God – the Bible says Enoch walked with God, Noah walked with God, and Abraham walked ...read more

The Fog - Hide And Seek Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Sep 19, 2023

The fog has rolled into western culture and choked out intimacy with God. The fog hinders and blocks us from being in an intimate relationship with God. The fog drives us to choose to hide from God rather than seek out His presence! But Jesus is seeking us out even in the fog!

The Fog Chapter 4 - “Hide and Seek?” Illustration: Have you ever played Hide and Seek – I have with my grandkids – Deklan is the funniest because where he hides is usually in the same place and if you listen you can hear him singing – he loves to sing – at our summer blast I put him on the ponies, ...read more

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 3, 2022

I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

KNOWN BY GOD. Psalm 139:1-6, Psalm 139:13-18. What convinced me of the reality of the God of the Bible - 'the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ' (Ephesians 1:3) - was not intellectual argument, but personal encounter. This occurred in two phases: first in a sense of guilt ...read more

Psalm 139 - Search Me Series

Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Aug 22, 2022

This sermon focuses on God's intimate knowledge of us, and how that knowledge should impact how we live our lives.

A little movie trivia. I want to see if anybody remembers a movie that was filmed in 1966. A movie called “Fantastic Voyage”. It starred Stephen Boyd and Raquel Welch. I think I even found the movie poster. This movie was filmed during what they would call the Cold War Era. We weren’t ...read more

The Omniscience Of God.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 11, 2023

The response to "The LORD has searched me" (cf. Psalm 139:1) is “Search me and know my thoughts” (Psalm 139:23).

THE OMNISCIENCE OF GOD. Psalm 139:1-12, Psalm 139:23-24. When we read Psalm 139, sometimes it is hard to tell whether we should read it with a sense of dread: The LORD knows me (PSALM 139:1); He knows everything I am doing (PSALM 139:2); He knows where I am going (PSALM 139:3); He knows my every ...read more

Nowhere To Run, Nowhere To Hide! Series

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Nov 8, 2022

Israel acted as if God did not see their heart and their attitude. God saw all the meeting and plans with Egypt. God saw the attitude towards His word. How strange that so many people think that they can hide from God.

Sermon: Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide! Scripture: Isaiah 30:1-14 NLT “What sorrow awaits my rebellious children,” says the Lord. “You make plans that are contrary to mine.

Suicide And The Brain Series

Contributed by Fresh Hope For Mental Health on Dec 16, 2022

Today we begin a series of sermons on mental health and caring for yourself, understanding the brain, and understanding it from God’s perspective and how He created us.

It’s difficult these days to listen to any news reports without hearing the phrases ‘mental illness’ or ‘suicide’. I’m convinced that there are many unnecessary deaths by suicide. Just consider that phrase for a moment. It doesn’t make sense. But given the rates of depression — 80% of all ...read more

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 25, 2022

What will we find if we truly allow God to search our hearts? Will we like what we see?

(1, 23-24) God cannot lie, God cannot die, and God cannot save an unwilling soul. In verses 1-7: There are times that we do not let some people become more totally acquainted with us. We are apprehensive they will find something about us that they do not care for. In any case, God has a deep ...read more
