    The Vineyard Of The Lord

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Sep 30, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,567 views

    I really appreciate a fine wine. A great winemaker is always concerned about his vineyard. Isaiah 5 God is the vineyard owner. He is deeply invested in the care of the children of Israel. Matthew, chapter 21, The Palm Sunday parade is over. Jesus has come looking for mercy and justice.

    In Jesus Holy Name October 5, 2020 Text: Isaiah 5:7 Redeemer The Vineyard of the Lord There are times I really appreciate a fine wine. A good Cab with a steak or a soft Merlot with pasta. Great wines are a ...read more

    "staying Connected"

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Apr 29, 2021
     | 6,700 views

    In order to imitate Jesus, demonstrate love, joy, etc we must "stay connected" to the Vine. I begin with a story of Oskar Schindler about connections. Through prayer, worship and the reading of God's word, listening to His voice will produce good deeds.

    In Jesus Holy Name May 1, 2021 Text: John 15:1-8 Easter V Redeemer “Staying Connected” It helps to have connections. Everybody knows it’s true. It’s not what you know, the cynic says, but WHO you know that makes a difference. In 1982 there was a wonderful book which was ...read more

    Mile Markers

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 18, 2025
     | 52 views

    Remembering God’s past faithfulness sanctifies Him in our present and guides us forward; our mile markers become tomorrow’s testimony of hope.

    Opening Illustration – Finding the Road Again Have you ever driven a long stretch of unfamiliar highway at night? You keep glancing for the next green sign or reflective number — a mile marker — proof that you’re still on the right road. Without those markers, even a straight road can feel ...read more

    Back To The Future: Remembering How God Has Led

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 20, 2025
     | 41 views

    Remembering how God has led restores our identity in Christ and renews courage to live and share His hope today.

    Introduction – Remembering the Fire My grandfather tilled the farm soil of Eastern Idaho in much the same manner as Noah and Abraham—by faith, by sweat, and by seasons. His world was defined by rhythm: sunrise, plow, prayer, harvest. He believed that what you sow, you reap, and that everything ...read more

    Jesus Makes Sense

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 31, 2025
     | 48 views

    Grace crosses forbidden borders to restore what systems abandon; Jesus speaks order into chaos, reclaiming the image of God within us.

    There are moments in Scripture when heaven steps across an invisible border, and the entire order of creation trembles. This is one of them. The Gospel of Mark says, “They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.” That sentence may sound geographical, but it’s ...read more

    Breaking Free

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 3, 2025
     | 51 views

    Repentance reveals mercy; when we uncover our sin to God, He covers us with grace and restores freedom, joy, and revival power.

    1. A Revival That Starts Inside the House of God Every true revival begins not on the street but in the sanctuary. When the Lord says, “If My people,” He’s not addressing the pagans outside Jerusalem’s walls but His covenant family inside. The call isn’t first for the world to get right; it’s for ...read more

     | 3,183 views

    Finding your purpose, enjoying your relationship with God, and sharing his goodness with others is living the dream. Living one day like that is better than a thousand days away from God. It is a joy to serve and please God.

    Sermon: Finding A Goal Worth Pursuing Psalms 84:1 How lovely is Your dwelling place, O Lord of Hosts!2 My soul longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my body cry out for the living God. 3 Yes, the sparrow has found a home and the swallow a nest for herself, where she ...read more

    Road To Revival

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 417 views

    All of us have fallen, and our fall is not something in the past. It is something very much present right now. It is personal for each one of us. All of us come to a point when we want that which will be harmful to us.

    Opening illustration: A few years ago, a story in a National American Magazine described a couple who “adopted” two wolf puppies. They discovered the wolves, while making a movie about the caribou in Alaska. They took them to their home, raised them, gave them the kindest treatment, and for a while ...read more
