    Seeking After God

    Contributed by Mark Mitchell on Jan 8, 2019
     | 4,476 views

    Those who call themselves Christian today often seek an experience rather than seeking God. An experience can be had quickly on Sunday morning, seeking God requires great sacrifice.

    I. When should Christians seek God? (v.6) A. Psa 63:1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. B. We should seek God early or ...read more

    The book of Genesis records the four deadly words which plagues us even to this day, the very words which keep those who choose to live in disobedience - blinded to God’s will for them.

    Four Deadly Words Grasping the Foundation of Mankind’s Destruction The book of Genesis records the four deadly words which plagues us even to this day, the very words which keep those who choose to live in disobedience - blinded to God’s will for them.

    Advent Comfort

     | 12,532 views

    God has forgiven their sins and has reclaimed them as His own people. What good news that was for them and what good news for all those who seek to be God’s today.

    Advent2B A story came across my desk recently about a man who worked for the Post Office. This man’s job was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses that that computer scanning system could not decipher. One day, a letter came to his desk addressed in shaky handwriting to God. He ...read more

    True Contentment

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Sep 22, 2018
     | 7,897 views

    If you want to find true contentment even in your pain, love strangers; love those who suffer; love your spouse; but most of all, love your Savior and Lord, not money.

    Philip Yancey, in an article in Christianity Today about prayer, talks about a man who interrupted his busy life to spend a few days in a monastery, looking for spiritual direction and peace. “I hope your stay is a blessed one,” said the monk who showed the visitor to his cell. “If you need ...read more

    Surprise In The Graveyard

     | 19,498 views

    How does the resurrection of Lazarus impact people in this day? Since Jesus has power over life and death, we see that He alone can give life to those dead in sin.

    “A certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. It was Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill. So, the sisters sent to him, saying, ‘Lord, he whom you love is ill.’ But when Jesus heard it he ...read more

    The God Who Blesses

     | 12,988 views

    The Aaronic blessing is part and parcel of our Sunday liturgy. What does God do when he blesses us with those words? What do we receive from him in the Benediction?

    [Sermon preached on 27 May 2018, Holy Trinity Sunday / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Today, I would like you to turn to the Old Testament text. Here we find the benediction which I use to bless the congregation at the end of our worship service. As you can see, it is not a blessing that I made up ...read more

    The Blind Man With 20/20 Vision

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 7, 2018
     | 15,143 views

    A blind man had 20-20 vision while those who could see were blind to the spiritual realm. It's possible to have a miracle but not know Jesus. Take that second step!

    THE BLIND MAN WITH 20/20 VISION Jn. 9:1-41 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A little girl told to her parents what she had learned in Children’s Church about the creation of Man & Woman. 2. “The teacher told us how God made the man first. But he was very lonely and had nobody to talk to. So God put ...read more

    Winning The Lost

     | 5,983 views

    We have a responsibility as a believer to share our faith and experiences of God. We are to be disciples to those we live around, work around and have relations with. We are to be the light to a darkened world.

    Winning the Lost Jude Scripture Introduction- Good Morning, I want to speak to you about winning the lost to Christ – You know that is for each one of our responsibility of those who profess Christ. It is not for the elite, those chosen few, those that have no trouble speaking, those that have ...read more

     | 1,154 views

    Every believer has been chosen by God to fulfill a specific purpose in and through their lives. Only those who walk with God and discern His will can accomplish that purpose and bring glory to God.

    We read in 1 Samuel 2:35, And I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who shall do according to what is in my heart and in my mind. And I will build him a sure house, and he shall go in and out before my anointed forever. (ESV) The Lord’s promise to us for the New Year is that God will build ...read more

    How Beautiful The Feet

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 6, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,130 views

    Those who carry the gospel have beautiful feet because of their commitment to God, and because they bring good news to the lost. This message will convict believers to share the gospel, and convict the lost that they need Christ.

    When I was in college couples would wear half heart pendants in order to express their affection. Each person wore half a heart symbolizing their incompleteness without the companionship of their significant other. There was one couple, though, that wore a different kind of necklace.

    Simon Peter shares with his house churches how they can not only endure tests and trials but that in God's hands those tests and trials can lead to a more victorious life.

    Scripture: 1 Peter 1:6-9; Hebrews 11:32-39 Title: This is a Test Tests and trials are a part of life – Simon Peter shares with us how to deal with those tests.

    Who can have a visionary view of God? Jesus answers this question for us in His Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5:8, “God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.”

    I’m sure you will have noticed that our preaching theme this year is Visionary View. Today I want us to consider the question: Who can have a visionary view of God?

    What Is Greatness?

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 10, 2024
     | 820 views

    Jesus our God came to serve. And even to die, to give his life as a ransom for many! To die for us, to empty himself of divine power and authority and serve those in need. That is true greatness.

    I recall a meme I saw online, it had a picture of a janitorial supply cart and it said, "Called to ministry? This will be your first pulpit." Truer words were never spoken. My first five years in ministry I mopped a lot of floors, and believe me, I expect more floors in the future. ...read more

    Candyman Or Doctor? Who Are You Looking For?

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 20, 2024
     | 359 views

    Jesus travels to Galilee and is greeted enthusiastically. However the Greeting is only with the hope of a great show, as those who he comes to preach to only want to see signs and wonders, and not the Savior from Sin.

    The Doctor or the Candyman I was listening to someone talk about elections and democracy, and he dug up a great quote from the past. And by the past, I mean like 2500 years ago. Ancient Athens was the first democracy we know of, and Socrates, the smartest man of his time, hated the idea. This was ...read more
