Not that anyone had stolen His identity like people do today but Jesus knew that people very close to Him were unsure as to who He truly was. It came up for the Disciples in Matthew's Gospel and it is here ...read more

    We cannot go back in time to change the course of our lives up to this day. But we can go to Jesus to be transformed and to have our future re-directed. Jesus takes what is trash and turns into his precious treasure.

    [Sermon preached on 17 June 2018, 4th Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Have you ever wanted to go back in time? To go back to a point in time in your life just before something bad happened to you—something that you could have avoided? And you think: “If I had only thought ...read more

     | 1,266 views

    God is always doing new things in our lives, but we often miss them because we're too focused on the past. We need to let go of our past baggage and trust God for the future.

    Remember the Israelites? They were slaves in Egypt for over 400 years. But when God set them free, they kept looking back, wishing for their old lives. Sounds crazy, right? But we do the same thing. We get stuck on the past, even if it wasn't that great. God wants us to drop that heavy backpack of ...read more
