    Filled To Be Witnesses

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Jun 10, 2012
     | 4,360 views

    God sends the Holy Spirit to fill us--gives us intimate knowledge of Him--in order that we may be His witnesses to the world.

    It’s Memorial Day Weekend. And, to follow contemporary American traditions, I am about 7 hours from being filled with burgers and hotdogs and chips and pickles and macaroni salad; and I’ll do the same thing tomorrow. Do you have any idea what I mean by filled? Yes? We all know what ...read more

    Always Pray, Never Give Up

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on May 6, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,930 views

    Praying to God as His sons and daughters is an honor. We should beat down the doors to heaven and seek God's will.

    Do you wonder what some of Jesus’ parables mean? Do you ever feel like Jesus’ message is obscure and obtuse? “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God have been given to you, but to them, I speak in parables” (Lk. 8:10). Well, there is not room for misunderstanding ...read more

    Bread Clearly Broken

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on May 6, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,438 views

    Not through intellectual assent, wisdom, and knowledge, but through the act of love, the breaking of bread, do we recognize Jesus Christ and know him as our Risen Lord and Savior.

    Hearing the message of the Gospel is not enough. Understanding, intellectual assent is not adequate. Peter’s proclamation of the Gospel at Pentecost did not result in the people exclaiming, “We agree with your reasoning,” or, “That makes sense to us.” Rather, ...read more

    Leafy Growth

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on May 6, 2012
     | 3,466 views

    As branches of the vine, it is our purpose to produce much fruit, not simply to serve ourselves by producing leafy growth.

    God told Abram, “All people on earth will be blessed through you” (Gen. 12:3). He was not pointing to Isaac. Nor to Jacob, the first Israel; even though he brought blessing where he went, he was not the perfection of the promise—of God’s covenant. Similarly the sons of Jacob ...read more

    Fire Of God

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Apr 22, 2012
     | 11,473 views

    If the fire of judgment is early kindled in us, we, as Christ, die to sin but live to God.

    Fire is full of symbolic meaning in Scripture. Fire is used as a sign of God’s presence and as a sign of judgment, both of acceptance and rejection. Fire is a sign of theophany, which is just a fancy way of saying a revelation of God, God’s presence. When God made His covenant with ...read more

    Preparing For Christ

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Apr 22, 2012
     | 3,710 views

    When we build our lives upon the only foundation that can be laid, Jesus Christ, rather than on our own designs, we will find true and lasting life that will not be taken away from us.

    Who’s got children, grandchildren, or nieces and nephews? Well, then you know that every child is different, and what pleases one doesn’t please another. My sister’s older boy, ****, is very cautious and hates to get pushed high on the swings. His brother, ****, is fearless and ...read more

    Loving In Holiness

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Apr 15, 2012
     | 2,827 views

    God's love for us compels us to evangelize, and we are able to proclaim God’s salvation because we ourselves have received it

    When designing a building, I typically don’t work alone. Although I could produce all of the necessary documents myself, I couldn’t work on very many projects and would quickly be spread thin. So I chose people to do certain tasks according to their strengths or an area in which they ...read more

    Stop Doubting And Believe

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Apr 15, 2012
     | 7,021 views

    Through our belief and faithful witness that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, we can influence this community to have life in Jesus name.

    What is our motto, our slogan, at St. Thomas? A Believing Church in an Doubting World. From the very beginning, God called His people to believe, to be faithful, to trust Him. God told Noah to build an ark; and he believed Him and was saved. He told Abram that he’d give him the land of Canaan ...read more

    Spiritual Superheroes

     | 4,053 views

    God has graced us with every spiritual gift that we need for life and godliness, and has given us power through the Holy Spirit to life the life of grace.

    I. OPEN: Spiritual Superheroes, even though we don’t always feel like it A. Do you like Superman? “Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.” Whenever Lois Lane, or a careless child, was in danger, and there was ...read more

    Team Of The Shrewd

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Apr 1, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,493 views

    People of this world are shrewd in their secular dealings, and Christians can likewise be shrewd in their spiritual development, not at the expense of virtue but in pursuit of it.

    Yesterday morning, I went outside to cut the grass. I put on my jeans and a ratty old aloha shirt. I put on my yard work shoes, my hat and sunglasses, and my big yellow ear muffs. I climbed up on the tractor, pulled out of the garage. BOY, it was a beautiful day. I ride down to the end of the ...read more

    Who's My Neighbor

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Apr 1, 2012
     | 3,741 views

    The mandate to love our neighbor does not originate at all in his worth or our own virtue, but in the value of the image and likeness of God that is imprinted on him.

    We have great children here at Holy Trinity. On July 1, on VBS Sunday, the kids made an offering to God for the education of Ellen and Anna, the daughters of ****, ****'s’ daughter-in-law, who had just passed away. The children gave generously, breaking their own piggy banks, in order to ...read more

    The True Solomon

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Apr 1, 2012
     | 3,175 views

    On Palm Sunday, the people hailed Christ's entry into Jerusalem. But they were looking for a king and a prophet, and not also a priestly Christ, leading to dissapointment when Christ suffered and died.

    On a spring afternoon, two thousand years ago, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. “Hosanna!” Amid shouts of praise to God and acclamation of His own dominion, he rode on. “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.” Unswervingly, he proceeded the two miles from ...read more

    Going On Ahead Of Christ

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Mar 4, 2012
     | 5,691 views

    Jesus sends us out into the world ahead of Him to do His work, preparing unbelievers to receive Him.

    “After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go” (Lk. 10:1). In every generation, Jesus appoints men to go forth and prepare the way before Him. Surely Jesus could do the work Himself—indeed ...read more

    Reflecting And Sharing The Lord's Glory

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Mar 4, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,309 views

    As believers, we have seen the Lord's glory, and we should reflect His radiance to the world.

    I. Luke 9:28 a. Christ took Peter, James, and John up with Him by themselves. i. Not all the disciples get to see the same vision. ii. Only closest friends went. If we want to see Jesus glory, we must be close, committed to Him—lukewarm friendship isn’t enough. iii. Not all were ...read more

    Fitting In To The Family Portrait

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Mar 4, 2012
     | 3,921 views

    As part of the household of God, we represent Jesus in the world, and should look and act like Him.

    Our gospel today from Luke is a precious moment in the life of the nascent Church. We see Jesus praying, with his followers around him. And he tells them—he tells us—about who he is and about who we are. Think of it as a sort of family portrait. Jesus is praying. All of our life, all ...read more
