    Paul rejoices in his difficult circumstances because they have become a means for the progress of the gospel

    Introduction: Understanding Paul’s circumstances What if I told you that Billy Graham, while traveling overseas for one of his Crusades, had been arrested by a Middle Eastern government hostile to Christianity and was now in prison awaiting trial for converting Muslims, a crime punishable by death. ...read more

  • Spirit-Filled

    An invitation to be Spirit-filled rather than just Spirit-marked.

    A barber in a small town was busy cutting hair one day when the local law enforcement officer walked in to get a haircut. And the barber was feeling a bit generous that day, so he said to the cop, "Since you do such a good job protecting us, and watching over us, today’s haircut is free." ...read more

    In a society where half of marriages end in divorce, what do Jesus' words mean for us? And what's heaven going to look like when most have been married multiple times?

    A judge was interviewing a woman regarding her pending divorce, and asked, "Ma'am, what are the grounds for your divorce?" She replied, "About four acres with a nice house in the middle." "No," he said, "I mean what is the foundation of this case?" "Concrete, brick and mortar," she ...read more

  • Radical Hospitality

     | 5,839 views

    Launching from Jesus' call to love our enemies and be perfect, this sermon speaks of love and welcoming.

    In 1979, Tim Hansel published a book entitled "When I Relax I feel Guilty". Included in the book is this raw and provocative tidbit. "I would like to buy three dollars’ worth of God, please. Not enough to explode my soul or disturb my sleep, but just enough to equal a cup of warm milk or a ...read more

  • More Than A Slogan

    We all know Micah 6:8, but there's a lot more to the message than just a T-shirt slogan.

    In the marathon subculture, T-shirts are everything. As a runner, you become a billboard for 26 miles, or 13, or 6, or in my case 3 miles. When I participated in my first 5K, I had to wear the shirt provided by my gym (since they paid the registration fee), but most of the time, each runner ...read more

  • Impossible

    Throughout history, many people have had doubts about many things. It is no wonder there were doubts about the resurrection.

    Throughout history, some very smart people have said some not-so-smart things, and thanks to the internet, they will never be forgotten. For example, Thomas Watson, the Chairman of IBM said in 1943, “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.” When something new comes ...read more

  • God's Ring Tone

    Like Samuel and Eli, we don't always initially recognize God's Ring Tone, but God is calling to us, and our job is to listen.

    As most of you know, I had planned to be at Spirit in the Desert Retreat Center, completing an intense Mini-MBA course this past week. But last Sunday afternoon, I had a strong sense that I wasn’t supposed to go. As I told that to (my husband) Gary and then to Wanda (our congregational ...read more

  • The Road To Easter Runs Through A Cemetery

    Contributed by Mari Larson on Apr 23, 2014
     | 4,938 views

    Good Friday was a necessary part of the Easter journey. The sermon shares a Leonard Sweet story about bell-ringing. (Each person who came to worship received a bell as they entered.)

    They thought it was over. Jesus was dead and buried. The religious folks sighed with satisfaction. His followers wept in grief. But they were wrong! They were all wrong! From this side of Easter, we can call Friday “Good” because we know that it was not over, all had not been ...read more

  • Resurrection Adrenaline

    Contributed by Mari Larson on Apr 23, 2014
     | 2,725 views

    Easter was a time of Adrenaline for the disciples, but the two walking to Emmaus missed it... until Jesus became known to them.

    When I told people about my family’s plans to spend a day at the Flagstaff Extreme Adventure Course last month, some nodded, others gave a look of questioning, and a few responded with one word, “WHY?!” Researchers tell us that younger generations are drawn more than ever to ...read more

  • Because He First Loved Me

    Contributed by Mari Larson on Apr 23, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,569 views

    No matter the circumstances of baptism, it is God who does the work because God loves us before we love God.

    We may not know the nine verses of Frederick Whitfield’s 1855 hymn, “O How I love Jesus,” but I’m guessing most of us know the refrain: O, how I love Jesus; O, how I love Jesus; O, how I love Jesus, because he first loved me. Because he first loved me. Before I could do ...read more

  • Handing Over The Keys

    Contributed by Mari Larson on Sep 7, 2014
     | 5,348 views

    The authority to forgive (The Office of the Keys) has been given to us, but we don't use it.

    Church life on the prairies of the Midwest is often quite different from church life here (in Arizona). Small congregations of Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, and German origins are slowly dying out, and since we no longer preach in the languages of our mother-lands (Thank God!), and because ...read more

  • The Meal, The Message, And The Miracle

     | 8,688 views

    The Feeding of the 5,000 is a great miracle story, but it wasn't the only miracle that happened that day.

    The Meal, the Message, and the Miracle Proper 13A – Matthew 14:13-21 -- August 3, 2014 Food! Be it blessed or tempting, it is filled with meaning that may not have anything to do with the food itself. Kringla, with its subtle hint of nutmeg, reminds me of grandma, who not only made these ...read more
