    Healing Vs. Wellness

    Contributed by Steven Buhr on Sep 1, 2021
     | 3,666 views

    There is a difference between being healed, and being made 'well' Both are important, one is vital

    • Would you rather be ‘healed’ or made ‘well’? • That is perhaps a deeper question than it appears on the surface. • Healed seems so complete whereas being well, is, well, not complete • Healing can simply be temporary, as we can always be injured again, but being well is more of a condition of ...read more

    "I Am The Bread Of Life: Offensive Words”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Aug 6, 2024
     | 1,345 views

    The radical claim of Jesus is that He is God in flesh whom the Father has sent into the world to provide forgiveness and eternal life. He is the rue manna. There is a chart that reviews the different understandings of the Sacrament adopted from Crossways.

    In Jesus Holy Name August 11, 2024 Text: John 6:38,40 Pentecost XII “I AM the bread of Life: Offensive Words” Last Sunday our Gospel reading was from John chapter 6. Today our Gospel reading is from John Chapter 6. I said to myself “How can I preach on the same theme, “Jesus is ...read more

     | 16,103 views

    The angel announced a message of "great joy". But the world often confuses Joy with Happiness and ends up being disappointed. What brings us joy and what difference does that make in our lives?

     | 4,155 views

    Study #2: When we look around us, it seems that more and more people are leaving the church. Why? This passage of Scripture explains the reason why, and alerts us to a trend that will occur just before the Rapture.

Before we talk about the Rapture, we need to look at something called “The Great Apostacy.” In Hebrews 10:23-25, we read, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who ...read more
