The Absence Of God

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 3, 2010

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

Salt And Light

Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 19, 2018

We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. We are not called to withdraw from public life into our safe and cozy Christian circles. We are called to make a difference in a world full of darkness, fear, violence, and foolishness.

[Sermon preached on 21 October 2018, Reformation Sunday / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] We sing it almost every Sunday in church with the kids: “This little light of mine—I’m gonna let it shine. Everywhere I go, I’m gonna let it shine.” But I wonder how many of us really think about what we sing. ...read more

The Fruit Of The Tree Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 19, 2020

OPEN: The story of Zacchaeus only occurs in the Gospel of Luke. It seems to me that its possible that, as Luke interviewed people for his Gospel, he may have spoken with Zacchaeus - and the man’s story stood out to him. It’s also possible, given that Zacchaeus’ name is used here, that he was known ...read more

Who Is Causing The Trouble?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 14, 2021

There are many things a congregation of this size will disagree on, but one thing we all would agree on is that we live in a world that has a lot of trouble.

What we need to do is find out WHO IS CAUSING ALL THE TROUBLE! For example, we constantly hear about the TROUBLE we are having in our schools in America. Consider the shootings, cursing, fighting, rebellion, and low academic achievements. This may sound simplistic, but anyone with common sense ...read more

The Stairway To Happiness

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 8, 2022

There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that God loves us and wants to bless us. The Book of Psalms is all about how this wonderful God that loves us wants to bless us.

God does not wait until chapter two before He tells us how we can receive a blessing. He starts off in chapter one, verse one. The word translated, “Blessed,” is from the Hebrew word, “aishair” which simply means: “HAPPINESS.” Many people have different ideas on how to find happiness in this ...read more

The Nice Antichrists Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Jul 15, 2024

The antichrists are around all the time and many of them are very nice. If they are going to be saved our radically calling is not to be nice Christians, but sacrificially loving Christians. John teaches us how to do this.

You can listen to this sermon at https://www.npbc.org.au/podcasts/media 1 John 2:18-29 “The Nice Antichrists” When John writes his Epistles it is very clear there has been a division within the church. The division has resulted in a “them” group and an “us” group. In 1 John 2:18-29 John tells us ...read more
