  • The Sacred Cow

    Contributed by John A. Peck on Nov 3, 2009
    based on 7 ratings
     | 7,935 views

    We don’t have high regard for cows in our culture. Even the term, sacred cow, is funny to us. However, God has given cows a special place in the Holy Scriptures.

    One of my favorite Far Side cartoons shows a herd of cattle standing at a fence, facing a leader. In the background is a large urban city in flames. In the caption, the leader cow is saying, “Evidently, Agent (some number) has accomplished her mission.” Cows. Even the word is funny. We don’t ...read more

  • Simon Peter: Stuck In Self-Deception Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 22, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,187 views

    We live with a self-image that we know is not true, but we like to project it anyway. We will come unstuck from self-deception when there is someone who loves us unconditionally ... the crucified and risen Christ.

    Outside the gate of the great house, it is growing cold. The winter winds are not quite over, and the first breezes of a promised spring have a zip to them. It would be nice to be in there, on the other side of the gate, where a fire is blazing and the workers are keeping warm. It would be good ...read more

  • Who Am I?

    Contributed by Bill Butsko on Sep 10, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,527 views

    This message indicates that we can truly know Jesus only by our personal relationship with Him.

    Test: “Who do men say that I am?” (Mark 8:27). If someone were to ask you, “Who is this One called Jesus?” What would you say? How would you describe Jesus? What would you say that would convince one that you truly know Him? There are times when we are questioned about something and we do not ...read more

  • The Necessity Of Sound Teaching

    Contributed by Christopher Martin on Sep 20, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,913 views

    A sermon preached September 13, 2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa. It was Sunday School/Christian Education Rally Sunday. This sermon focuses on the necessity of sound teaching from the Word in the life of the congregation.

    One of the things we put a great deal of importance on in our American society today is education. We encourage our kids to “stay in school” and to do well in school. We now also live in an age where most of our high school graduates go off to college, or some type of specialized education in order ...read more

  • Why Is The Bible So Important?

    Contributed by Mark Schaeufele on Dec 23, 2009
    based on 14 ratings
     | 37,935 views

    Spending time reading and studying the Word of God transforms us into followers of Jesus.

    Why Is the Bible So Important? Texts: 2 Tim. 3:16-17; Heb. 4:12-13; Rom. 15:4 Introduction 1. I believe that the two biggest problems with the Church in America today are: 1) We don’t pray enough, and 2) We don’t read the Bible enough. 2. Illustration: Here are some things that have been said ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,959 views

    Creation itself is groaning, and is in labor right now. The birth pains of the revealing of the sons of God are upon us.

    Romans 8:17 and if children, then heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together. 18. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19. For the ...read more

  • It's Alive

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Jul 25, 2009
    based on 14 ratings
     | 8,490 views

    For many the Bible is just an old book to collect dust on a shelf, press flowers with, or in which to collect obituaries and wedding clippings – but the Bible is so much more – It’s Alive!

    IT’S ALIVE! HEBREWS 4:12 Introduction: A collector of old books ran into an acquaintance of his who had just thrown away an old Bible that had been in his family for generations. He happened to mention that Guten-somebody had printed it. "What? Not GUTENBERG?" gasped the book collector. "Why, yes, ...read more

  • The Ordinary God

    Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Jul 29, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,712 views

    No one wants to be “average”, or “ordinary”. No one, except, strangely enough, God.

    The Ordinary God Luke 2:41-51; Phil 2:1-8 Dec 28, 2008 Intro: What did Jesus do for the first 30 years of His life on earth? We’ve just come through the season of Advent, the waiting and preparing, and then celebrating the birth of Jesus, the arrival of God in human flesh, the “incarnation” (to ...read more

    Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Jul 30, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,316 views

    We believe that God will do that which seems “impossible”. We believe that God will take each opportunity, each act of service, each expression of love to one another and use that for His glory and His Kingdom.

    I Still Believe Sept 7, 2008 Zech 8:1-8 Intro: I think I used to be more of a dreamer. I was never a pure idealist, with a grand vision of the perfect future “if only…”, but I have been close. I remember studying Romans 6 and hearing the Holy Spirit loudly saying “YES! It IS possible for you ...read more

    Christ is Risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia! Since we are still in the Easter season, it’s quite appropriate that we begin our message for today with that great news. Two weeks ago, you heard me share with you, through the eyes of Mary Magdalene, how difficult it could be to really believe ...read more

  • Reality Check

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 30, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,478 views

    Adherence to the Bible will teach us neither to be overly optimistic nor overly negative about human nature, but will give us both hope and harmony. Thus we must be serious Bible students.

    Twenty-five years ago, Neil Armstrong stepped out of that lunar module and set foot where no person had ever gone before, on the surface of the moon. "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." We were fascinated, and we still are. Nothing like that had ever been done; nothing quite like ...read more
