    Our God given gifts, skills and talents are to be used to grow the kingdom where ever we are. Invitation: Bring “Pictures” of where you are serving the rest of the week.

    We begin this new series we have lovingly called, “RUN!” This is not meant as a warning of the future or a bad fire drill or re-enactment from the movie, Mar’s Attacks. It’s actually not about running away from anything. It’s really a reference to a piece of scripture from the book of Hebrews in ...read more

    God Pours Out His Spirit

    On Pentecost, God reversed the process of division and confusion around the tower of Babel, as he poured out his Spirit. The Spirit gave the disciples words of praise and proclamation to speak in languages that all could understand. How does that Spirit work today in our lives and churches?

    [Sermon preached on Pentecost (Whit Sunday) / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Last Tuesday in our Bible study group, we studied the story about the first Christian Pentecost from Acts 2. It was a refreshing experience to hear someone read some verses in Chinese. Most of us could not understand them, ...read more

    Avoiding Idolatry Series

    Contributed by David Scudder on Feb 21, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,164 views

    Why should we spend so much time learning about the names of God? Our biggest danger is making up our own God, which the Bible calls idolatry, and the names of God teach us who God is and what He is like. Do we have a problem with idolatry today?

    Purpose: To show the dangers of idolatry. Aim: I want the listener to commit to learning more about God by studying God’s names as a cure for idolatry. INTRODUCTION: Starting next Sunday morning I intend for us to begin a journey together exploring 25 of the most common names for God in the Old ...read more

    Worshipping From The Heart Series

     | 21,003 views

    Worship flows out of our revelation of God, our experiences in God, and our gratitude for His goodness. These matters must be addressed when we seek to enhance our worship experience. Otherwise the experience can become artificial and contrived.

    01.22.17 Intro How do we move into a higher level of worship—in our personal lives and corporately as a church? Answering that question is more complex that you might think. But it is extremely important to find answers to the question. If I were to ask for a show of hands this morning, how many ...read more

    There is a lot of stuff out there claiming to be Christian, when it's not really Christian. It's a difficult situation for any real Christ follower. On one side you have a culture and society growing progressively more hostile toward Christian values.

    In this passage, Peter continues to deal with the opposition that faced Christians, and that still faces us today.

    Illus: This passage reminds me of the story of the fellow that went to the doctor.

But before I can tell you the bad news and the very bad news, you will first have to pay ...read more
