Contributed by Russ Barksdale on Mar 2, 2016

In every relationship, particularly marriage, there are times when the believer must be faithful, regardless of the challenge.

Allan Petersen, in The Myth of the Greener Grass, tells the story of a group of a dozen married women having lunch together.

Contributed by Russ Barksdale on Mar 2, 2016

All relationships are risky, prompting believers to trust God for the outcomes.

Paul's Song Series

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Oct 12, 2017

We have heard the song "Don't worry, be happy!" and "Hakuna Matada." While their points are nice, they are easier said than done. How would Paul rewrite those lyrics? In Philippians four, we see his answer: don't be anxious, pray!

“Here’s a little song I wrote, you might want to sing it note for note. Don’t worry, be happy!” That line is from a famous song that we have all probably heard before. If you aren’t familiar with it, perhaps you might be more familiar with this more recent line sung by a warthog named Pumba and ...read more

Song Of The Reformation

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Oct 17, 2017

There are some TV show theme songs or commercial jingles that we can immediately recognize. Luther's "A Mighty Fortress" is one of them too, for it is the theme song of the Reformation. This sermon is based on Psalm 46, the one the song is from.

There are some theme songs that are just iconic and memorable. There are some that are so recognizable that when part of it is heard or sung, you can immediately recognize the TV show that it belongs to. For example, “Here’s a story, of a lovely lady, who had three very lovely girls…” belongs to ...read more
