    Our Sinful, Human Nature

     | 5,962 views

    If we love God, we will truly love the things we ought to love and we'll find some other way of expressing our appreciation for the material things we have.

    The passage from Hosea 11:1-10 is a story of God mourning over his people. He loved Israel like a parent loves a child, but Israel spurned him. Even though he was rejected, God still loved Israel and could not renounce his chosen people. It is a metaphor for what Jesus did. Jesus was rejected by ...read more

    Prayer Keys - In Jesus' Name Series

    Contributed by Mark Stepherson on Aug 15, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,594 views

    This most legally controversial prayer key is not an incantation giving our prayer more power. It is recognition that Jesus is our mediator (1 Timothy 2: 5), our advocate (1 John 2:1), and our High Priest (Hebrews 4:14-16).

    Prayer Keys - In Jesus’ Name “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit – fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.” John 15:16 I started this list of prayer keys back in the 80 s. I doubt any ...read more

    Do Not Take Side Series

    Contributed by Dr. Amen Howard on Aug 13, 2013
     | 6,947 views

    One of the great characteristics of the body of Christ is to care about the burdens and sufferings of one another. However, as we seek to console and encourage friends that have been offended, we may be tempted to take up their offense against another.

    In sympathy, we may tend to take their part against the pastor, the church or whoever they blame for the offense. This is very unwise and an unscriptural thing to do, considering that your friend may be the cause of his own/her offense, or trying to drag you out of faith. His/her hurt feelings may ...read more

    Three groups can help us understand our resistance to trusting in the Resurrection of Jesus.

    I read a story of a man who was on his way to the airport to catch a plane. He came to an intersection where his wife had told him he needed to turn left to get to the airport. It was a narrow little road and he was on a board road that also would let I see some of nature’s beauty. He decided ...read more

    Life can cut you wide open. More dangerous than the cuts of life, is the very real danger that spiritual bacteria will take advantage of the situation and turn a person from God.

    Opportunistic Infections An opportunistic infection is an infection caused by pathogens, that take advantage of certain situations. These infections usually do not cause disease in a healthy host, a compromised immune system, however, presents an "opportunity" for the pathogen to infect. Today ...read more

    Jesus was anointed at least twice in His ministry with the last time being just days before His crucifixion. What do we see in these accounts that is often overlooked?

     | 3,221 views

    Psalm 85:10 is a tiny verse found almost directly in the middle of the Bible. This verse holds the key to a holy life and it tells us how to find it in a most poetic way.

    Love, Faithfulness, Righteousness, Peace and Kissing Today we will be reading from Psalm 23 Today we will be looking at Peace What is peace? How can I get me some of that??? The world thinks they know. Today I typed “how to find peace” into my duck-duck-go search bar and this is what came ...read more

    Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 22, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,131 views

    Too easily, we try to comfort people in sorrow and pain, saying that we know what they are going through. The fact is that mostly we don't. But Jesus knows what we are going through, because he has been there. What does that imply for us?

    [Sermon preached on 18 February 2018, 1st Sunday in Lent / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] I was still a student when we gathered with a group of theological students for a training seminar on pastoral counseling.
