    How Can A Loving God Actually Justify Hell?

    People can be offended by the preaching on hell - ("I can’t believe you think this! You’re just trying to scare people. - That’s not very loving..."). - They claim that speaking about hell is unloving - Like signs warning boaters of what is going to happen if they continue down the river. - ...read more

    This is a sermon on salvation and justification by faith prepared for preaching on Reformation Sunday. If interested, I have four great Power Point slides that accompany this message.

    “LIVING BY FAITH”—ROMANS 1:16-17 Besides the saints of the Old and New Testaments, I have several heroes of the Faith. These include such people as John and Charles Wesley, Francis Asbury, Phillip William Otterbein, Peter Cartwright, and Martin Luther. It was exactly 487 years ago today, ...read more

    Stewardship (3 Of 4)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 11, 2022
     | 868 views

    Again we would like to turn our attention to those passages in the Bible that deal with our being stewards of the money God has blessed us with.

    I would like to remind you that stewardship is taught in both the OLD and the NEW TESTAMENTS. In Matthew 23, Jesus rebuked the scribes and Pharisees for what they were NOT DOING, while recognizing what THEY WERE DOING. He noted that they were careful to tithe of every plant that produced ...read more

    Reformation Day sermon around the notion of passwords and PINs. Martin Luther, through his new awareness of scripture found access to God through Jesus Christ and the grace and mercy we receive in him.

    Your Access is Granted How many passwords and PIN numbers do you have? The other day I did a little tally and realized I have at least 20. We’ve all got them whether we fully realized it or not. Even if you don’t have a computer, but have a bank account, you have a personal identification number ...read more

    Through Faith Alone Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 9, 2017
     | 4,149 views

    The concept that we are saved by grace alone through faith alone is a solidly Biblical teaching. Last week, we looked at grace, this week we will examine the idea of faith alone. Both grace and faith are exclusive and must stand alone.

    Through Faith Alone (Romans 3:23-28) 1. I had a good time visiting Dale and Katie Daniels and Mary Ann Bolinger in Warsaw/Winona Lake area. I went from there to Luke’s house. But the GPS had me go too far south and then took me back north. It got me there, but it was complicated and probably ...read more

    Paul at some point in his life and Luther confront what they now know about Christ. He is the only thing needed for redemption.

    Romans 3:19-28 “What We Now Know Is Only” 1. Today we celebrate Reformation Sunday 500 years ago Martin Luther nailed his 95 statements "theses" on the castle church door at Wittenberg hoping to spark a discussion of what He now knows. Martin Luther now knows as a result of prayer, fasting, ...read more

    Zacchaeus and Martin Luther both learned the just are saved by faith; and Paul shows us that for Christians, All Saints Day and All Souls Day should be the same thing.

    Collect: Almighty and merciful God, it is only by your gift that your faithful people offer you true and laudable service: Grant that we may run without stumbling to obtain your heavenly promises; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ...read more

    Dramatic monologue as if Martin Luther were the preacher, telling his own story. Time period is the Wartburg stay; focus is on hope and trust in a changing world, "amid the flood" of change.

    [Backstage] Walled up here in this fortress, kept practically as a prisoner, prevented from teaching, prohibited from preaching, what good am I? What can I accomplish in such a place? I was not born for idleness, nor for solitude. I was born for action. I was destined by Him who holds in His ...read more

    Eventually people get it: You must come out of Babylon. Here is the story of those first heroes of the Protestant Reformation, who saw Babylon, protested, and were forced out. Thank God for them.

    PART THREE: WHEN PEOPLE PROTEST 1300-1870 THIRTY-SEVEN: THE CALL "OUT OF HER" BEGINS The light which manifests itself to many individuals within the church slowly becomes such a burning glow that, combining with the loss of prestige of the Papacy, and the growing political tensions, it can no ...read more

    The second word of our Savior on the cross is directed to one of the thieves crucified with him. An analysis of Jesus’ second word on the cross, as set forth in Luke 23:43, teaches us about salvation.

    Introduction Jesus was crucified between two thieves. One of the thieves mocked Jesus. But the other thief rebuked him. Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:42-43). Herbert ...read more
