    The sermon discusses John the Baptist's role as a witness to Christ's light, emphasizing our similar calling to point others to Jesus, with the advantage of a fuller understanding of His divine nature.

    Hello Church! Today our passage comes from the Gospel of John. Now, there are two different “John’s” we’re going to discuss today. The first one is John the Baptist. Some of us are familiar with this guy. He was the forerunner of Jesus who baptized people in the wilderness for forgiveness of their ...read more

    When God Can't Be Explained

    Tragedy is often difficult to cope with, hard to understand, hard to explain, and it’s hard on our faith. Tragedy often causes people to lay the blame for these events on God. This will often cause these people to become bitter and cynical toward Him. Of

    When God Can’t Be Explained Introduction: As we look back over the last several years, we see recent history dotted with some very tragic events. Middle Eastern terrorists have made a number of attacks against America in various ways - their crowning achievement, of course, being 9/11. The tsunami ...read more

    When a person trusts in Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit comes and indwells them and gives them spiritual gifts. Many people do not completely understand the spiritual gifts, what they are and what they are to be used for. This morning we will seek to under

    Paul was a great missionary who's example can show us how to witness to others. God has a plan for us all to follow. What can we do get help us understand and follow that path?

    As we start our new year, we’re going to start by looking at who we are. Concordia isn’t just this place. It includes all of us that come here to worship. Its not confined to just the walls of this building but has to look towards the people that live near us. We’re called to shine the love of ...read more

    What The Road To Hell Is Paved With Series

    In understanding and submitting to Jesus authority, Matthew 21:23-32 shows us: 1) The Confrontation (Matthew 21:23), 2) The Counter Question (Matthew 21:24–27), 3) The Characterization (Matthew 21:28–31a)

    Matthew 21:23–32 23 And when he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?” 24 Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, and if you tell ...read more

    The Enneagram And Inner Healing - Psycho-Heresy In The Church

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 8, 2019
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,439 views

    Within the church there has been a great influx of human psychology mixed with Scripture. This has resulted in a convoluted understanding of the human mind and heart, as they are examined and studied from man’s perspective, rather than from God’s.

    The Enneagram System of personality typing has surged in popularity among American Christians, especially among the young who are culturally steeped in both the practices of church doctrine and dogma as well as of the secular world, and are not content with what the Bible says about the human ...read more

    It is no strange thing when the godly encounter persecution by those who refuse to yield to God & His Word. May the understanding that God has brought His servants before us through persecutions minister comfort & encouragement to us in our own tribulatio

    PSALM 119: 81-88 [The Ministry of The Word Series] WAITING ON A WORD DURING SUFFERING [John 16:33] We have arrived at the eleventh section of the 22 letter alphabetic Psalm.

    A Day Of Personal Testimony

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Feb 12, 2007
    based on 28 ratings
     | 4,413 views

    A sermon about the need for more personal testimonies, and the need for more involvement on behalf of Christians, both in and out of church, to tell others. This precedes our STEP 3 class, which will help us to understand our Spiritual Gift(s).

    In JOHN 19:34 it tells us that, as Jesus hung on the cross, a guard pierced His side. In JOHN 19:35, it says that the one who loved him saw it personally and knows it is true. It says he testifies "SO THAT YOU ALSO MAY BELIEVE." Going over to ISAIAH 43:10, it tells us - ‘You are my witnesses, ...read more

     | 9,595 views

    Life is hard, even for Christians. In those difficult times we can sometimes forget the blessings we have in Christ. But when we start to see the bigger picture and understand how we are blessed in Christ, we can truly live in the joy of those blessings.

    Ok, I want to start with a question. Do you know where you are? That is kind of a funny question, isn’t it? Because of course you know where you are. But the reality is, that sometimes, we may not fully understand where we are until we see the bigger picture of our location and the ...read more

    Ask, Seek, Knock

     | 16,925 views

    Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened. Does this mean Jesus is our genie in a bottle? Can I ask for anything I want and Jesus will just give it to me? There's much to understand about what Jesus said here.

    ASK, SEEK, KNOCK Matt. 7:7-12 1) Ask, Seek, Knock (7-8). Here we see three different words three different meanings. I think this illustrates a process; like a chain of events if you will. As the Fourfold gospel commentary puts it, “Asking is a simple use of voice, seeking is a motion of the ...read more

     | 8,998 views

    The mind is one of the most amazing and most dangerous things we possess. It is incredibly creative, self-justifying and horribly deceiving and sick. So Paul tells us when it comes understanding God, using our minds only will never get us there.

    In our series: Lessons in how NOT to be a Christian, we have seen: Lesson 1: You (and your church) do not belong to you, but to God Lesson 2: Don't worship your pastor Lesson 3: Don't confuse the world's wisdom with God's And now Lesson 4: Don't rely on your own mind Scientific ...read more

    Purity Exam Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Aug 19, 2021
     | 2,023 views

    In order to be pure in heart we must understand: 1) The deed of adultery (Matthew 5:27), 2) The desire behind It (Matthew 5:28), and thereby achieve: 3) The deliverance from it (Matthew 5:29-30).

    Matthew 5:27-30 [27]"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' [28] But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
