    Contributed by Tim Smith on Oct 19, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,044 views

    God’s grace is unmerited favor, an unearned gift of forgiveness in the midst of sin. God’s grace truly is like the professor’s offer. It may seem unbelievable, but if we accept it, then, we, too, will discover that, God’s grace truly is free. All we have

    Amazing Grace: God the Son Galatians 1:3-5a, 13-16a Charles Stanley tells of one of his seminary professors who at the end of his evangelism course distributed the exam with the caution to read it all the way through before beginning to answer it.

    Abiding In Jesus' Reformation Words

    Contributed by Christopher Martin on Oct 25, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,657 views

    A sermon preached at an area Reformation Sunday worship service on 10/25/2009 at Elk Horn Lutheran Church, Elk Horn, Iowa. It uses Jesus’ words of the text as Jesus’ "reformation words" for the people of his day, Martin Luther’s day, and today.

    Historically, Lutherans have taken the last Sunday in October and set it aside as “Reformation Sunday”, where we give thanks to God for the life and work of Martin Luther and other reformers of the church in the 1500’s who brought back to light the truth of the Gospel. It’s a day where it’s very ...read more

    The story of Sarai, Hagar, and Abram is really a story about how people deal with issues of faith . . . especially when our faith is being tested by God’s providence.

    God’s Providence: Whose Son are You? Scripture: Galatians 4:21-31 Genesis 16:1-4; 21:8-14 Yesterday, as I was reviewing the scriptures in Genesis, I noticed something that hadn’t struck me before. It’s a bit off the point, but I found it curiously funny. Let me review part of today’s reading ...read more

    Love Is A Command Series

    Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 30, 2009
    based on 18 ratings
     | 14,589 views

    Jesus said, ’this is my command: Love one another.’ How does that work? It is easy to see how you can obey a command not to lie, or steal or commit murder – but how can you command somebody to love somebody. How is that possible?

    Verse 12: ‘My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you’. Verse 17: ‘This is my command: Love each other’. One of the funniest comedies ever to find it’s way onto our tv screens, arguably, has to be Fawlty Towers. It starred John Cleese as the Torquay hotel owner Basil Fawlty, and ...read more

    Alive Beyond This Life Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 13, 2008
    based on 8 ratings
     | 3,711 views

    God wants to give us life beyond this life, for God is love and live is never diminished. It is not something we attain by knowledge, but by trust. Two sweatshirts are pulled on and off to illustrate two ways of thinking about life beyond this life.

    God is love. So the Bible says, and that is, in a sense, all we need to know. God is love; and just as when you love someone you do not abandon them, so also the love of God, richer far than tongue or pen can ever tell, reaches to the highest height and to the lowest hell, and keeps on going ...read more

    What are the implications of denying the resurrection? That will be examined in this message.

    What If There Was No Resurrection? Introduction: To most fair historians there is little question as to the existence of Jesus.
