    Jacob’s Ladder

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jul 3, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,771 views

    There aren’t many solemn if not downright interesting passages in the Bible than Jacob’s dream of a ladder extending from heaven to earth, with angels going up and down it. It is designed to both instruct, support, and comfort believers in Jesus Christ.

    I remember a song that was titled “One Is The Loneliest Number” by Three Dog Night, and I believed that until I realized that being a Christian, it was many who made up the one, the one Church. We who are many are one is the cry of the church

    One Romans 12:3-8 NIV (READ) 3For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. 4Just as each of us has one body with many members, ...read more

    REGARDING THE RECENT TURBULENCE IN THE U.S. AND GLOBAL FINANCIAL MARKETS AS A DIVINE WAKE UP CALL, THIS SERMON REMINDS AND ADMONISHES READERS TO ACCEPT THE COUNSEL OF JESUS CHRIST BY INVESTING IN HEAVENLY TREASURES THAT WILL YIELD ETERNAL DIVIDENDS INSTEA

    “19Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21For where your treasure ...read more

    What’s done is done, we cannot change our past - but through the power of the Lord Jesus Christ we can rise up and live again, we can become whole, we can be redeemed.

    Everyone had failed him. There was betrayal, denial, abandonment, and the results were catastrophic: Jesus had suffered an excruciating beating, He was forcibly driven through the city to a rock outcropping called, “The Skull” and left to die naked on a cross.

    We’ve returned to the 9/10 mentality, but God wants us to go back to 9/12 and how we woke up different that day. Link inc. to formatted text, audio/video, PowerPoint.

    The Absence Of God

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 3, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,516 views

    January 1985: The psalmist experiences the absence of God, even to the point of denigrating himself as a "worm." But when he takes inventory, he does see evidence of God's presence, opens up his heart, and dares to hope.

    Today I am going to take a somewhat different approach to the reading of the Scripture and the way I will be preaching on it. And in fact I hope this will make it come alive for you and will enable you to follow the thought of the Scripture writer as well as my own thought. What I plan to do today ...read more

    Learning A Lot From Lot

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Oct 26, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 14,770 views

    Lot's life demonstrates where we go when we look at what we like instead of looking up for the Lord's guidance. Loving God is learned through life's challenges more than life's pleasures.

    Lot’s name is mentioned only 4 times in the New Testament. Three times in Luke 17 and once in 2 Peter 2:7. In both places the scriptures are talking about God’s judgment. Here are the places and contexts: Luke 17: 26 And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in ...read more

     | 9,818 views

    We cannot go back in time to change the course of our lives up to this day. But we can go to Jesus to be transformed and to have our future re-directed. Jesus takes what is trash and turns into his precious treasure.

    [Sermon preached on 17 June 2018, 4th Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Have you ever wanted to go back in time? To go back to a point in time in your life just before something bad happened to you—something that you could have avoided? And you think: “If I had only thought ...read more

     | 11,441 views

    Many people are asking in this season, "What is God up to?" We seem to be living in a period of great silence. Believers are searching in vain for something God is doing powerfully in the body of Christ and trying to no avail to hear marching orders from

    Getting Ready For The Second Coming Series

     | 22,531 views

    We’re not to get caught up in date setting but instead are to be ready at all times to meet the Lord because He will come like a thief in the night. In the meantime, we’re to cultivate faith, love, and hope.

    Getting Ready for the Second Coming [Drama: “Security Check”] I can’t imagine what that would be like when the Book of Life is opened and your name is nowhere to be found! The feelings of regret, loneliness, and outright alarm would be devastating. And that would be nothing like the eternal ...read more

    Of all the recent stories of people held captive, the one of U.S. Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, has been the most controversial. He told military doctors that his Taliban captors tortured him and kept him locked in a metal cage in total darkness for weeks at a time after he tried to escape. Bergdahl, now 28, ...read more

    Thanksgiving Eve sermon 1989: We have a hard time giving up our attachment to things material. We do need to feel, however, that what we use makes a difference for someone -- a way to love them.

    When we read that the city of Washington is going to get everybody out of an infamous homeless shelter by Christmas, because that shelter is no longer fit for human habitation, we have a variety of reactions.

    A holy life is characterized by being separated from the world to God. A holy life is characterized by godly sorrow for sin. “I want men everywhere to lift up holy hands in prayer.” A holy life is characterized by effective prayer.

    An Examination Of The Rapture Of The Church – Part 1 Of 4 Series

     | 3,458 views

    These addresses will examine what the Rapture is, the meaning of the word, the biblical passages pertaining to the rapture, and how history changed the teaching. The Rapture is the blessed hope (glorious hope) and Christians should rejoice in the teaching.

I am wanting to do that because this is such an important subject, and the changes in the world in these past 24 months have been quite dramatic, further pointing to ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 26, 2022
     | 2,213 views

    Conformity is the rule these days under increasing totalitarianism, but that will present problems for the Christian. One stands firm or compromises. To be faithful means holding fast to God’s word, not yielding our faith to distorted values so that we “fit in.” This is a difficult area.
