    The Gentile Christmas

    Contributed by Christopher Martin on Mar 12, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,315 views

    An Epiphany sermon I preached on 1/7/2009 at the Salem Lutheran Home chapel, Elk Horn, Iowa.

    In some ways, you could say that Epiphany is the “last hurrah” of Christmas. It’s the day when we remember the visit of the wise men, or magi as they are called in our text, to worship the Christ child and present the gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. It’s a great scene, one that’s often ...read more

    Where we are and where we want to be there is a GAP you can also listen www.preaching.co.nr

    Between where we are and where God wants us to be there is often a “GAP.” The GAP can either swallow us up holding us back from reaching our destiny or the GAP can serve to strengthen us in our resolve to get to where God wants us to be. I don’t want our lives to go in any other direction other ...read more

    This is a modification of a sermon designed for single people during our family series. It was modified and preached to our youth group.

    Intro: I wanted the Lord to return, but there were a lot of things that I wanted to do first. How many of you want to get married some day? What do you look for in a boy/girl friend? TS. What does the bible say about marriage? 1 Cor. 7:6-9 (NIV) I say this as a concession, not as a ...read more

    Noah preached for 120 years and knew what it was to resist temptation, but eventually it knocked him off his feet.

    Intro: 1. C. S. Lewis, "A silly idea is current, that good people do not know, what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those, who try to resist temptation, know how strong it is. After all, you find out, the strength of a wind, by trying to walk against it, not by lying down. A ...read more

     | 4,949 views

    A sermon preached 9/11/2011 for a joint service of the McConnellsburg Lutheran Parish that speaks of the topic of forgiveness.

    Our Gospel reading has quite a parable to it. One that has a lesson that seems so simple and practical, yet, when the rubber meets the road, we find out it’s not so easy. It even seems as if Peter doesn’t quite get it at first. And on this day, 10 years after the terrorist attacks in ...read more

    My farewell sermon at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa preached 1/10/2010.

    I’ve found that of all the sermons that I have prepared to be preached from this pulpit, this one that I have to preach today has perhaps been the most difficult to write. For starters, it’s an emotional one because this is the last time I will preach to you from this pulpit as your Pastor. If ...read more

    Jesus had been ministering in Perea. He then returned to Bethany, about 1.5 miles from Jerusalem, to raise Lazarus. After raising Lazarus, He and His disciples went north away from Jerusalem. In Luke 17:11 we find that Jesus and His disciples had gone as far north as Samaria and Galilee. While ...read more

    For Too long the Church has sought to win Friends and Family and past by the Stranger. www.preaching.co.nr

    God has stirred in my heart a theme, from Matt 5:41, entitled “The Extra Mile.” Going the second or extra mile sets a person apart from the people who ‘do just enough’ or those who claim ‘I have done my share’ and those who say ‘I just cannot do any ...read more

     | 7,928 views

    A Thanksgiving Eve sermon preached 11/25/2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa.

    Our Gospel lesson for this evening introduces us to a group of 10 “mystery” men. I say this because we don’t know much about these guys. They may come from completely different backgrounds, be different ages, and for all we know, they may not get along very well. But, they had one common ...read more

     | 15,826 views

    This sermon was preached on Pentecost Sunday and challenges the church to become "Dangerously Christian!" (Len’s Sweet’s phrase).

    Who would have ever thought that going to church would be dangerous? But it has become exactly that in some places. Simon Loh, a pastor at Faith Assembly of God in Singapore, visited a hospital to pray with a church member who had contracted SARS. Soon thereafter, Loh discovered that he, too, had ...read more
