Salt And Light

Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 19, 2018

We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. We are not called to withdraw from public life into our safe and cozy Christian circles. We are called to make a difference in a world full of darkness, fear, violence, and foolishness.

[Sermon preached on 21 October 2018, Reformation Sunday / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] We sing it almost every Sunday in church with the kids: “This little light of mine—I’m gonna let it shine.

Guard Your Heart (February 13, 2022)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 11, 2022

Are You Trusting In God

Contributed by Nancy Peren on Jun 25, 2022

When we start to become dependent on man, we are no longer dependent on God.

The base text for this message is in Jeremiah 17:5-10. When we start to become dependent on man, we become less dependent on God. In fact, we eventually become far away from His presence. We no longer have a firm foundation. So then when man fails us and deceives us, we are alone. We have ...read more
