    Sermon for Easter/Resurrection Day. All Bible References are from the NASB.

    It is on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ our entire Christian hope is based.

    It Only Takes A Little

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Jan 17, 2023
     | 3,032 views

    When it comes to the Christian life, it doesn't take much. God can make a little go a long way.

    I think it’s happened to all of us; we lay down intending to take a short nap, but we end up sleeping for hours. It only takes a little slumber for it to turn into a long sleep. 1. IT ONLY TAKES A LITTLE SIN (I Corinthians 5:1-6) Illustration: a student at a college who was allergic to peanut oil ...read more

    What Do You Know?

     | 1,011 views

    It doesn’t matter how much you care if you aren’t teaching your people what they need to know.

    Education is a hot topic around the country this year. It’s no longer about testing and accountability, but about curriculum itself. Although there’s an additional level of complication with the disagreement over why different groups have different outcomes. We no longer know, if we ever did, what ...read more

    May The Lord Be With You

    Contributed by Darian Catron on May 2, 2025
     | 675 views

    May the Fourth has come to be known for Star Wars fans as a day to celebrate their sci-fi obsession. Some people view the Holy Spirit as a force, like in Star Wars. But the Holy Spirit is God... God with us and in us, empowering us to do the work and accomplish the mission set before us.

    INTRODUCTION: A couple of Sundays ago was Easter Sunday for those of us who follow Christ and celebrate our risen Lord and those celebrating Spring with the annual hunting of the Easter Eggs left by the Easter bunny. But, to my surprise (or perhaps my horror), I found out that a different group ...read more

    The Load-Bearing Wall

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 19, 2026
     | 200 views

    As intelligence expands through AI and knowledge explodes, reason gives way to cynicism, revealing confusion about meaning, limits, and where trust belongs.

    We live in an age that is quietly intoxicated with intelligence. Not wisdom—intelligence. We live with the assumption, often unspoken but deeply embedded, that if a problem can be solved, it will be solved by someone smarter than us… or by a system smarter than them. We trust models. We trust data. ...read more

    My farewell sermon at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa preached 1/10/2010.

    I’ve found that of all the sermons that I have prepared to be preached from this pulpit, this one that I have to preach today has perhaps been the most difficult to write. For starters, it’s an emotional one because this is the last time I will preach to you from this pulpit as your Pastor. If ...read more

    How Jesus Dealt With Rejection

    Contributed by Spencer Miller on Mar 10, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,046 views

    How should we deal with or respond to rejection? It’s a very good question especially when it comes to the Church.

    The now infamous Lance Armstrong once said, “A boo is a lot louder than a cheer.” And he actually hit the nail on the head, because no one wants to be rejected. It can make you come to the conclusion Oprah Winfrey came to when she said, “I don’t want anyone who doesn’t want me” because no one ...read more

Bill White, "Two days ago, I was kneeling in prayer in the front room of our house at 6:30 a.m. I’d just confessed sins and was asking God for a blessing that day, needing to feel loved by him.
