    Luke 3:15-17, 21-22 “God is Delighted with You!” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN I think it’s safe to say that John the Baptist was as surprised as we are! Or at least, as surprised we should be if we were to read this passage of ...read more

     | 6,352 views

    Our value as a person has nothing to do with having our name on the up in lights. God loves us; we can’t improve on that! You don’t have to try and prove you are worthwhile by sneaking your nametag a little higher up on the table. And praise God for that!

     | 5,699 views

    Jesus has provided us with a blueprint—with a new way of being fully, genuinely, and gloriously human. It’s a way that goes down deep into the roots of our personalities and produces a different kind of behavior altogether.

    Ephesians 2:1-10 Matthew 5:21-26 “Be Reconciled” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor Of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN I hate it when I make a mistake. I just hate it when I do something that makes someone angry at me. It’s like a heavy load on my back. And ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,285 views

    There’s a time, for all of us, I think when we believe…but we don’t have the foggiest idea what that means. That must be a little like what the first disciples of Jesus Christ felt.

    Luke 24:13-35 “The Eyes Have It!!!” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN I remember a time, long ago and far away… …on a distant planet… …no… …that’s not right… I remember a time when I was asked by the associate pastor of my church to read the ...read more
