    As long as we live in this world, our lives are part of a greater journey—a journey of faith, hope, and purpose. When we look closely at the Christmas narrative, we realize that it is also a story of journeys.

    The Sermon On The Mount / The Seventh Beatitude Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 12, 2022
     | 2,152 views

    'Blessed are the peacemakers.' We all too easily think in terms of fight or not fight. But Jesus gives us a clear goal when we are in or see situations of conflict.

    Note: this was a talk for a family service which children come to. So we’re only covering one Beatitude and it’s fairly simple. Over the past two weeks we’ve started to look at the Sermon on the Mount. This is a sermon preached on … you guessed it! … a mountainside. It’s the longest of Jesus’ ...read more

    Today we celebrate the 50th anniversary of St. Peter Lutheran Church. 50 years. If this congregation was a man, he could expect that half of this life has already passed, and so have the days when he had no love handles or wrinkles. But a congregation is not an individual—it’s more like ...read more

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jan 31, 2023
     | 3,372 views

    Jesus, our blessed Redeemer never became too weary of his labor of love. He ministered to mass crowds, taught the disciples at night, rose early in the morning for prayer, faced relentless opposition and never gave up. Jesus found a rhythm in ministry. He knew when to work, and when to rest.

    Sermon: Rest For the Weary Scripture: Matt 11:25-28 “At that time Jesus prayed this prayer: “O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding these things from those who think themselves wise and clever, and for revealing them to the childlike. 26 Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this ...read more

    Why So Long In Slavery? Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 12, 2015
    based on 30 ratings
     | 29,504 views

    Why did God allow Israel to even be in slavery? And why did He allow it for so long? The answers to these questions tell us much about the chains God would free us from in our lives.

    (Props – 10 foot length of ¼ inch chain; a cross on stage that can handle the weight of the chain) OPEN: I once read the story of a marketplace in northern India where people brought their wares to trade and sell.

    God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. As we study the life of King Uzziah we too will learn some important lessons on how we can stay humble, and acknowledge God in everything.

    We read in 2 Corinthians 9:8, “And God is able to give you more than you need, so that you will always have all you need for yourselves and more than enough for every good cause.” (GNB) As we continue our study based on this verse we realized that God is indeed able to meet all of our needs, and ...read more

     | 11,760 views

    We are really good at accumulating stuff. But how often do our possessions begin to possess us? Jesus warns us about the dangers of greed and calls us to be more than our net worth, challenging us to invest rather in godly pursuits.

    Luke 12:13-21 Making Long-term Investments Wow! Today’s passage is a little shocking for those of us who enjoy life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in this greatest nation on God’s green earth. By world’s standards, we are the richest of the rich. We may not be one ...read more
