    In this passage (vv. 16-21) Paul summarizes the motive of the whole Christian life. Christ died for all and the old self of the Christian died in that death. He arose a new man. In this newness of life he has acquired a new set of standards. He no longer

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: In verses 14 and 15 Paul comes to two conclusions: 1. The total depravity of man (v.14). If Christ died for all, then all must be dead in trespasses and sin. 2. God’s purpose for saving us (v. 15). He died that we might live through Him and for Him, and one day with ...read more

    The great commission in Mathew 28:18-20 gives three features. It also reminds us of the new power of the disciples, through which they had new perspectives in their lives and led them to establish Church through new presentations. Ends with the accountability of Trainer and trainee.

    Text: Matthew 28:18-20 Theme: Great Commission Introduction: Commission and commissioner are very familiar words to our modern society.

    We continue to explore what "Putting on the New Man" entails. We, as children and imitators of God, should walk in love. But that gets complicated as we encounter sin in our lives.

    Over the Last few weeks and through the next couple of weeks, we have been looking at our lives in Christ. What does it look like? How are we support to act? Much of the new Testament, especially the writings of Paul, John and Peter, deal with the process of sanctification – the process of ...read more

    Jesus promise to prepare us room in his Father's house. There is more to that promise than the idea of our souls going to heaven to be with God. What did Jesus try to tell his disciples?

    [Sermon preached on 22 April 2018, 3rd Sunday after Easter / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Last week Saturday I conducted a funeral. It was a bright sunny day.

    There is nothing so fulfilling as good timing, nothing so embarassing as bad timing. Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem was wonderful for some, judgment time for others. What time is it for us? (MLK assassination anniversary)

    There is nothing quite so fulfilling as good timing. And nothing quite so embarrassing as bad timing. They say that the secret in being a comedian is good timing. Well, the secret in living is good timing. Quite a few years ago, a young lady in whom I was more than slightly interested had to be ...read more

    Hell has gotten a bad rap these days. Dante wrote about its amusement park, but that’s fallen into disrepair. It’s no longer on the list of any popular tourist destinations.

     | 7,427 views

    In this sermon on "The Pearl Of Great Price", we see that if God is dissatisfied with our Christian life, we should also be dissatisfied with it. Dissatisfaction isn’t a bad thing, but a good thing.

    “Dissatisfied With Satisfaction” Matthew 13:45-46 INTRODUCTION: This morning we are going to take a look at the parable that Jesus gives on “The Pearl Of Great Price”. Jesus doesn’t explain the parable. I want us to look at it in 2 ways … the INTERPRETATION … AND … the APPLICATION. Matthew ...read more

    Joseph was treated with favoritism and bad relations with his brothers festered. He spent 13 years of suffering. Yet, he was a man of faith. What can we learn from his life?

    Joseph was treated with favoritism and at age 17, informed on his brothers’ misdeeds. Telling his brothers of a dream that they would bow down to him, made matters even worse, and bad relations between them festered. “Joseph, being seventeen years old, was pasturing the flock with his brothers.
