    -Have you ever come up short in your attempts to get something done? -Have you ever tried to pull something really cool together and it didn’t quite work out? -You are in good company. The disciples come up short, way short in their attempts to feed the thousands of people in today’s Gospel ...read more

    Sermon # 20 - Seeing Ourselves As God Sees Us Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 30, 2023
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,050 views

    How often we allow our circumstances or people around us to shape the opinion we have of ourselves. Instead let’s look up to the Lord, and study His word to understand who we really are from God’s point of view.

    The way God saw Gideon In Judges 6:11-12 we read, “Gideon was threshing some wheat secretly in a wine press, so that the Midianites would not see him. The LORD's angel appeared to him there and said, “The LORD is with you, brave and mighty man!” (GNT) The people of Israel were in an arduous ...read more

    Luke 1:26-38 “Announcement of Jesus’ Birth” All of us probably wish that there were something special about ourselves. Sure, there are those who seem to be gifted with a strong confidence in life and an intense sense of purpose, but the vast majority of us struggle with feelings ...read more

    "Love" should be more than just a buzzword for Christians. God showed his love for us when we were still sinners. Likewise, we should love our friends and our enemies alike and show it by treating them the way we want to be treated.

    [This sermon was preached on 8 July 2018, 7th Sunday after Pentecost / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Years ago, a man came to me for help. His life was in a mess. When he looked to the past, he saw many relationships that had shipwrecked. Several of them were still haunting him almost daily. His ...read more

    The Stairway To Happiness

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 8, 2022
     | 2,136 views

    There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that God loves us and wants to bless us. The Book of Psalms is all about how this wonderful God that loves us wants to bless us.

    God does not wait until chapter two before He tells us how we can receive a blessing. He starts off in chapter one, verse one. The word translated, “Blessed,” is from the Hebrew word, “aishair” which simply means: “HAPPINESS.” Many people have different ideas on how to find happiness in this ...read more

    Salvation through Jesus, however, doesn’t change the fact that sin is present in our life.

    Do you look perfect? We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this ...read more
