    God's Agenda For Us Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 27, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,107 views

    If we fail at the basics, we have no solid foundation; Peter gives us that foundation by proposing two truths.

    God’s Agenda For Us (I Peter 1:1-5) 1. Sometimes we are like the little boy who was overheard talking to himself as he strutted through the backyard, wearing his baseball cap and toting a ball & bat. "I’m the greatest hitter in the world," he announced. Then he tossed the ball into the air, swung ...read more

    Easter: Jesus is Risen. Yet can those who suffer from honest skepticism still find room in God’s House?

    A pastor is giving a children’s sermon on Easter Sunday morning. “Can anyone tell me what happened on Easter?” Silence. The pastor, persisting, asked again politely, “Now I know that someone here knows what happened on Easter a long, long time ago.” Again….total silence. “Finally, visibly ...read more

    The Da Vinci Code: Fact Or Fiction (Part Two: Did Jesus Claim To Be God?)

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 14, 2006
    based on 40 ratings
     | 2,263 views

    In his book, Dan Brown claims that the deity of Jesus was a fourth-century creation. This sermon looks at Jesus’ own statements on the subjects and then examines the three ways we can respond to those statements.

    The Da Vinci Code Claim: “The deity of Jesus was invented at the Council of Nicea (325 A.D.).” - A character in Brown’s book states, “Until that moment [the Council of Nicea] in history, Jesus was viewed by his followers as a mortal prophet. . . a great and powerful man, but a man nonetheless.

    Jonah And God's Plant

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Jun 15, 2007

     | 4,981 views

    I was listening to a group of men talking, and they were talking about real men being turned off of Christianity because of the pastor’s language and even the songs we sing aren’t manly enough.

    Jonah and God’s Plant Text: Jonah 4:5-11 So Jonah went out of the city and sat on the east side of the city. There he made himself a shelter and sat under it in the shade, till he might see what would become of the city. 6 And the LORD God prepared a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that ...read more

    A lenten midweek service about how God rescues us when we look to Him - Psalm 121

    In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit – the Holy Three In One who does not sleep, but comes to our aid on all things, amen.

    This message looks at the difference between discipleship and religion

    The past few weeks we’ve looked at diseases that plague the church. Last week we looked at negativity, and I have to tell you, this week I was challenged more than ever... Isn’t it amazing how when God speaks to us, he often uses trials to teach us? Real life examples... So this morning I want to ...read more

    The Law Of The Harvest

    based on 8 ratings
     | 6,547 views

    The universal law of the harvest is not only that we reap what we sow but that we reap far more than we sow.

    THE LAW OF THE HARVEST “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.” Galatians 6:7-8 I. BE NOT DECEIVED Paul’s ...read more

    Christ as the one who leads the way for believers, even in the most difficult times.

    In our modern world, and especially as the 21st century is upon us we are still in many ways bothered by the notion that God sent his son to suffer and to die. We are bothered because it seems to us, as it would seem to any rational person, like a very harsh thing for a god of love to do. ...read more

    This sermon was used with video clips from the Peanuts Christmas video.

    There is a little guy some of us never think about except at Christmas. He is short. He has a little round head. He doesn’t have much hair. He seems to always be on the wrong side of the ball in life. If you have ever paid much attention to the cartoon strip Peanuts, than you know that Charlie ...read more

    An Epiphany sermon I preached on 1/7/2009 at the Salem Lutheran Home chapel, Elk Horn, Iowa.

    In some ways, you could say that Epiphany is the “last hurrah” of Christmas. It’s the day when we remember the visit of the wise men, or magi as they are called in our text, to worship the Christ child and present the gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. It’s a great scene, one that’s often ...read more
