Heaven’s Definition Of Greatness

Contributed by Craig Condon on Oct 17, 2015

Sometimes we have the idea that if we follow Jesus we are guaranteed to receive a reward. When that happens we forget that Jesus’ ministry was one of serving others. He gave himself for the sake of others, including suffering for their salvation.

In Mark 10:35-45, Jesus once again told his disciples everything that would happen to him in Jerusalem-his trial, death, resurrection and ascension. James and John seized this opportunity to ask for the highest positions of honour in his kingdom-at the right and left hands of Jesus. They forgot ...read more

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Nov 4, 2025

An echo through time has been Jesus telling us that we need to bring the Gospel message out to the world. The Hebrews of His time did not understand that it was their task to do. Jesus came to the Jews first and then to the Gentiles.

The Time for Action is Now! Luke 12:54-59 Rabbi Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Luke 12:54 And He was also saying to the crowds, “Whenever you see a cloud rising in the west, you immediately say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it turns out. 55 “And whenever you feel a south wind blowing, you say, ‘It ...read more

God Causes It All Series

Contributed by Ian Du Pisanie on Mar 8, 2012

God is incomplete control of His creation. The lies of a natural force or of 'mother nature' not only contradict Scripture but take away from God the fact that He, and He alone is sovereign.

Psalm 139: 1-18 Last time we had a look at the idea that many have, in which the universe is run according to a mechanistic system, and that God is not in control over the things that happen in the world. There are many who believe that any ‘intrusion’ from outside, including that of ...read more

A Sermon for Christ the King Sunday preached on 11/22/2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa.
