    I believe the ELCA congregations who are in rage over our Chruch’s assembly decision to endorse homosexuality, need to take time beofore acting - but act we must.

    Effective Christ-followers are those who learn to lovingly do what God wants them to do. Let’s take a look at some of the identifiers of an effective Christ-follower.

    Marks of an Effective Christ-Follower Acts 16:1-12 Intro: The world today is confused about what it means to be a Christian. They’ve seen enough scandals and double standards that many of them have completely lost all faith in the church, religion, or Christians. In fact, in many settings it is ...read more

    This sermon is a take off from a previous sermon of mine entitled "For the Love of Christ." It discusses the return of Christ and how we must live today for our hope of tomorrow.

    WE’VE ALL HEARD ABOUT ··· The return of Jesus Christ, and how He will then take us home with Him. WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG ··· I was afraid of Jesus. My older brother said if I wasn’t careful, Jesus would reach out from the radio and pull me in with Him. THAT’S THE SAME BROTHER ··· Who told me I ...read more

    The first of five messages exploring the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6. Today's message, For His Glory, takes a look at the first petition, "Our Father in heaven hallowed be your name."

    For His Glory • Matthew 6:9 • May 15-16, 2010 Introduction: The Lord’s Prayer is one of the most WELL-KNOWN prayers of Christianity. Many believe this model prayer provides the appropriate FORMULA for WHAT we should prayer. However, Jesus models for us the appropriate ATTITUDE ...read more

    Raw Honesty

     | 13,361 views

    "I believe, help my unbelief" is a confession of sin and of faith that takes real courage to make. In the Cross we know what God’s response to us is and forever will be.

    Mark 9:14-29 Today the Word of God that engages us is from Mark chapter 9. In the middle of these verses is one God-Inspired phrase that has been a real help to me on my own journey of faith. Words spoken first by a man who had the courage to be truly honest with himself, and honest with God. ...read more

    Not The Status Quo Revival

    We have a certain idea of what revival is and how to get it. Take a good look at the 18th chapter of First Kings, and you may see it a little differenty.

    Not the Status Quo Revival from 1 Kings 18:21-41 James 5:17,18 17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. {subject...: of the same nature, that is, a fellow ...read more

    When someone makes reference to "one thing", you take special notice because you realize that a priority is being mentioned. Let us pay attention to the priorities of God.

    ONE THING When you start a new job, and the boss tells all the rules; you listen. When he says that there is one thing that needs to be done above everything else; you make a very special mental note, knowing that thing is a top priority. When it gets close to Christmas and the kids begin to tell ...read more

    Jesus came to take away sin; the sin of the United States is a sin against life. Only prayer, fasting and clear, urgent action can move us in the right direction.

    Baptism of the Lord Jesus January 9, 2010 Today’s Gospel relates one of the big questions of the early Church. All four Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles relate at least once the story of the baptism of Jesus by John. John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. Those who came to John were ...read more

    God Is Not A Hanyman

    Handymen have many unfinished jobs which take money and time by a professional to fix. In contrast God, who begins the work in us, will bring it to completion. There is no project to big for God.

    I can relate to people who are handy-men. And I fully understand the motivations that drive a handyman • Certainly there is the motivation to save money. Why pay someone when you can do the job yourself? • Then there is also the satisfaction which comes when you step back from your ...read more

    God is incomplete control of His creation. The lies of a natural force or of 'mother nature' not only contradict Scripture but take away from God the fact that He, and He alone is sovereign.

    Psalm 139: 1-18 Last time we had a look at the idea that many have, in which the universe is run according to a mechanistic system, and that God is not in control over the things that happen in the world. There are many who believe that any ‘intrusion’ from outside, including that of ...read more

    Sometimes in our zeal of serving God we begin to take the reigns and can actually not really trust and rely on Jesus for the very work He has called us to.

    Some Christians find themselves in a never ending quest to earn the right to deserve their relationship with God. We feel so bad about ourselves and feel that God had to do so much to save us that we need to spend our lives trying really hard to please Him so He’ll feel better about what ...read more

     | 10,621 views

    This world is not our home,. However, the Lord is not taking His disciples immediately out of this world. Instead, He equips us with a model of love and humility for our continuing sojourn here.

    WASHING THE DISCIPLES’ FEET. John 13:1-17. John concludes his account of Jesus’ public ministry with one last urgent appeal in which our Lord “cried out” (John 12:44) with a vehemence not unlike His cry at the tomb of Lazarus (John 11:43). Jesus does not cease to call the spiritually dead to new ...read more

    You cannot live by faith without taking charge of your thought life. Only when you understand this and begin using it this way will your life truly prosper in God.

    A. When you begin investing your faith in the Word of God, your life is going to take on a supernatural dimension in terms of the unfolding plan of God for your life. The only way Satan can stop that or slow it down is to bring enough adversity to bear that he begins to shake your faith and cause ...read more

    We are not just a group of people on our way to heaven, We are the Army of the Lord, and we are a force to be reckoned with. (we are not here to blend in, we are here to take over).

    In most cases when we hear preaching from Ezekial 37 it is used to speak to us of the Power of God: Reviving, Resurrecting, Restoring. It shows us how our God can move into the graveyard of our lives and resurrect dreams and visions, and how he can step into the middle of your chaos and confusion ...read more
