    Just as ancient offerings were said to ascend to the heavens, so also a life lived in praise connects us with God in powerful ways.

    2,186,230 Can anyone guess what that number represents? 2,186,230 any Ideas? 2,186,230 this is the number of people who were in Jail, or Prison in the United States alone in June 2005 (the most recent statistics I could find). Each person incarcerated in our system today is there because the ...read more

    Our leaders say that these kinds of events are now the norm. We should expect them, prepare for them, and be diligent in watching for the seeds of such action. Signs are up, all over this country asking us to be diligent, to communicate suspicious activ

    PREVENTING ANOTHER 9/11 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV) If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

    Many people struggle with this well-known parable. Jesus seems to condone rather selfish, shady money-dealing. Actually the Gospel of forgiveness lies at its heart: are we ready to forgive?

    I don’t know about you, but I do have certainly difficulties with this parable. I’ve always tended to skirt around them, I must admit. But with this text in front of me for this morning I was forced to think about it more seriously. And I find that many of the problems are actually only on the ...read more

    Final in the series "Patterns for Prayer." Looks at Pauls farewell with the Ephesian elders as a pattern for praying together as we say goodbye.

    Prayer & Parting Text: Acts 20: 22-38 Introduction This sermon was scheduled before I knew with certainty when or even if I would be leaving Heidelberg. So perhaps it is providential that here just about exactly one month before my departure as we conclude this series of sermons on prayer that we ...read more

    It is easy to read or study (or preach) Nehemiah and get so captivated by the qualities of the man that we lose sight of the power of God and His Word that were the foundation of this amazing accomplishment.

    In the book of Nehemiah, we’ve seen one man (Nehemiah) come from Persia to the city of his forefathers (Jerusalem) and in a matter of just a few months, take the piles of RUBBLE and turn them into a secure city wall. He has formulated and carried out a plan. He has organized people and ...read more

    Theme: Prepare for the day of the Lord Text: Amos 5:18-24; 1 Thess. 4:13-18; Matt. 25:1-13 A common problem in the world is that of procrastination. Procrastination is simply defined as putting off what needs to be done or hoping to do tomorrow what should have been done yesterday. It is waiting ...read more

     | 8,865 views

    The proud are caught up in illusions about themselves. Humility helps us submit to God’s definition of reality rather than ours.

    We’re starting a new series on the Seven Deadly Sins and their corresponding Heavenly Virtues. With every negative command in Scripture there’s a related positive duty; for every “Thou shall not” there is a “Thou shall”. Sin is our ruin, virtue our ...read more

    How do we build our confidence in sharing God's Word?

    Let us continue to learn from the 2nd Letter by the Apostle Peter; open your Bibles there. As we will note in our passage today, God is the one truly speaking through Peter in these letters.

    The only parts of the Bible we believe are the parts we DO. As we read God's word with humility and awe (and a willingness to obey) we are transformed.

    Kathleen Norris tells the story of a South Dakota rancher and his bride who received a leather-bound Bible as a wedding gift from the groom’s grandfather. They wrote a thank-you note and stowed the Bible away on a closet shelf, out of the way. As time passed, the grandfather repeatedly ...read more

    "A Partner’s Passionate Prayer”

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,804 views

    Paul prays for his partners in the Gospel, the Philippian church.

    Someone has said that in Paul’s other letters, he is an “attack dog;” but in the letter to the Philippians, he is more like a “lap dog.” There is quite a difference in his letter to the Philippians and many of his other letters. When he wrote to the Galatians, he was combating heresy. When he wrote ...read more

     | 6,264 views

    Luke's account of the resurrection raises the issue of the struggle the early church had to believe the women's witness to Christ's resurrection. We too struggle to believe, yet ultimately, do because we trust in the validity of the women's Easter sermon

    Easter Day Yr C, 4/04/2010 Lk 24:1-12 Rev. Garth Wehrfritz-Hanson Chaplain of The Good Samaritan Society’s South Ridge Village, Medicine Hat, Alberta “An idle tale or Gospel Truth?” You have likely heard or even witnessed stories where reality is stranger than fiction. After ...read more
