    Every Word Counts

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 22, 2000
    based on 106 ratings
     | 8,406 views

    The words that come out of our mouth reveal what is in a person's heart, shows what that individual really is like.

    There was an ad on the radio a while ago which proclaimed that "people judge you by the words you use." It was for a program that was intended to help you build-up your vocabulary. Now, it is probably true that many of us assume that someone who uses four- or five-syllable words in their ...read more

    Is There A Sin God Will Not Forgive?

    What does Jesus means when He says blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the unforgivable sin?

    Max Lucado says that one of the most difficult truths he has had to come to grips with is that God's grace is big enough to extend to someone like Jeffery Dahmer. If you recall, Dahmer was the young murderer in Milwaukee a few years ago who cut up the bodies of his victims. While in prison, Dahmer ...read more

    A true unity in the Lord is something we must never take for granted, and something for which we ought always to pray and work

    A few weeks ago another pastor told me, "Dan, things are not going the best at my church. It seems there is always controversy and division over something or someone. But, I guess church fights are normal. From what I understand, it is unusual for a congregation to go more than two years without a ...read more

    Fragile: Handle With Care

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 22, 2000
    based on 41 ratings
     | 16,606 views

    Our eternal salvation is secure because of Christ, but when it comes to the daily routine of following the Lord, we desperately need God's grace each day.

    Every now and then I receive, or send, a package labeled "Fragile: Handle With Care." It might be a very expensive crystal vase inside, or maybe it is just a small toy, but the purpose of the label is to warn the friendly UPS, or Postal Service, employee that if they are not careful how they handle ...read more

    How Important Is The Sabbath?

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000
    based on 175 ratings
     | 12,064 views

    What role should the Sabbath play in our lives?

    In 1981 the movie, Chariots of Fire, won the Academy Award for Best Picture. This Hollywood film told the true story of a devout Christian, Eric Liddell, in a very positive way. I want to just show you a clip of the film. Eric has decided he must forfeit his chance to run in the 200 meter dash at ...read more

    Jesus has great news for weary people

    Americans are tired people. Hectic schedules have many folks going to bed late and getting up early, and surveys show that most people in our country simply don't get enough sleep. A recent newspaper article reported some companies are encouraging employees to take naps during the lunch hour, even ...read more

    An Unpleasant Surprise

    based on 107 ratings
     | 11,768 views

    Jesus warns some people of the consequences of rejecting Him.

    You did not study real hard for the math test. After all, you are a pretty sharp guy and you have always gotten good grades in the class. The test seemed pretty easy, and you are fairly certain you aced it. The teacher is handing the tests back right now. You glance over at Jimmy at the next desk. ...read more

    Dealing With Doubt

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000
    based on 145 ratings
     | 8,636 views

    When it comes to Chris-tian truth, God doesn't want us to be skeptics, but I don't think He wants us to be gullible either. In fact, our faith can be strengthened when we ask tough questions and even when we struggle with doubts.

    Some people are natural skeptics. My Grandfather was one. When man first landed on the moon in July of 1969 and the TV pictures came back from the lunar surface, my Grandpa thought it was all being faked. He figured those pictures were coming from a desert somewhere in Arizona. Sometimes he was a ...read more

    Is The Price Too High?"

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000
    based on 128 ratings
     | 10,521 views

    today the question we look at is this: Is the price of being a Christian too high?

    Whenever I buy something, whether it is a car or a gallon of milk, I always check the price. The question always is: Am I willing to pay this amount, or is the price too high? If I stop at a gas station to get a gallon of milk, and see a price of $3, I think: OK, I could pick it up for 20 cents ...read more

    Nothing But The Truth

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000
    based on 116 ratings
     | 8,517 views

    Today we want to explore some interesting words about truth-telling that Jesus gives us.

    A few weeks ago, President Clinton spent Saturday and Sunday huddling with his lawyers preparing for his grand jury testimony. As I thought about that, it seemed a bit odd. If your goal in going before a grand jury is to tell the truth, to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth, why does it ...read more

    The Man Who Hated Christmas

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000
    based on 125 ratings
     | 9,104 views

    Today we are going to talk about a real person, an individual who plays an important part in the Bible's account of Jesus' birth, but who is seldom mentioned in Christmas programs or sermons. His name is King Herod.

    The man who hated Christmas. Who am I talking about? Is it Ebenezer Scrooge, the miser whose motto for Christmas was "bah-humbug"? Or is it The Grinch, the creature who tries to steal Christmas because he can't stand to see people happy? Well, neither. Today we are going to talk about a real ...read more

    Fourfold purpose of the church: 1)Worship God 2) Show love for others 3)Proclaim the Gospel 4)Help Christian grow in their faith.

    A few weeks ago a woman called the church office. She said she had heard some real good things about our congregation and was interested in attending, but she had one concern. Someone had told her that you had to pay money, annual dues, if you wanted to come to this church. Barb, the church ...read more

    Even our most magnificent achievements seldom bring total satisfaction - Where do we go to find gusto, to find real joy in life?

    "You only go around once in life, so you’ve got to grab for all the gusto you can." Some of us remember that television commercial. But, what exactly is gusto? Well, according to my dictionary, it means "vigorous enjoyment, zest." Good stuff, but where do we find it? Well, according to that ...read more

    The Big Mistake

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 179 ratings
     | 19,018 views

    Learning from Adam and Eve's mistake, so we can avoid falling into sin.

    We all make mistakes. Some of them are more embarrassing than harmful. I remember at our former church in Wisconsin, I typed up the bulletin with this announcement: "Ladies, please remember to pick up your bowels in the kitchen." It was supposed to be bowls. In fact, every Sunday a couple of the ...read more

    Exploring the consequences and lasting effect of Adam and Eve's disobedience to God.

    A number of years ago, General Electric had a wonderful commercial which showed the lights coming on in the nation of Hungary. After the fall of communism, a new day had begun for the people of that land. Our text today is Genesis Chapter 3. In these verses, we see that after the fall of humanity, ...read more
