Pastor Greg Stenzel • Christ Lutheran Church & School • Sermon • • 27 views • 34:52
LOVE: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL Those things we think will help us in life will ultimately fail us in death. In contrast, that which seems to offer us little help in this life will never fail us in death. Today’s gospel reading provides a vivid illustration of these realities, while giving…

Quote from the bulletin: The Hebrews who converted to Christianity face great opposition. They were often divided from their friends, separated from their livelihood. How would they persevere ?

Lord, teach us to pray. “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples” ( Luke 11:1 ). Each rabbi had a particular way of petitioning God, and Jesus’ disciples are aware that John had taught his disciples how to make petition to God. What has become so familiar to us is actually remarkable: “So…

We are a busy people. We have our family and friends, our social activities and hobbies—all the things that occupy our time. But who are we along the way, when we are going from one place to the next? If you see a stranger stranded along the road do you stop to led assistance? Our response reveals much…

And he arose that night and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of Jabbok. He took them, sent them over the brook, and sent over what he had.

“Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem” ( Luke 13:22 ). Jesus knows that when he gets to Jerusalem, he is going to die. So, if you expect Jesus to use His final teaching opportunities to share happy thoughts, you don’t know him very well. With a sense of…
Pentecost--Lord Increase Our Faith
Pastor Greg Stenzel • Christ Lutheran Church & School • Sermon • • 13 views • 36:58
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” The Lord said, “If you had faith like a mustard seed, you could tell this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. King David was granted great wealth and ability, which enabled him to set things up for his Solomon,…

The Humble Will Be Exalted—The Exalted Will Be Humbled “In Us and Through Us” What we do or don’t do does matters, because our actions are connected to faith. “Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem” ( Luke 13:22 ). Jesus knows that when he gets to Jerusalem,…

The specific sin which often prevents us from living according to faith is our love for the world. Warn the hearers against the mixed or double loyalty that would cause them to shrink back and be destroyed (10:39). Remind them of the eternal inheritance and assure them of God’s faithfulness. Encourage…

Jesus calls Sinners The call of God is for every sinner. As we discussed last week, a sinner is one who has fallen from the original righteousness given when God created man.

YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU Grace to you and peace, from God our Father, and from our risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. Jesus was good at getting to the point.

COUNT THE COST OF CHRISTIANITY I went in the Navy SEALS website and it says right in the beginning of their website: this is how you can assess and ponder whether you want to be a Navy SEAL. Then they lay out exactly what it's going cost you, and what they describe is intense. In the first phase of training,…

When Jesus Comes, It Is the Dawning of a New Day for His People.

All of us experience ups and downs, mountaintops and valleys, joys and frustrations in our day-to-day discipleship for Christ.

Preaching Through the Bible
Jedidiah Cary • Paw Paw Bible Church • Sermon • • 60 views • 30:18
What do you hate? 16 There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, 19 a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows…

Hope for the Home: Proper Discipline Prov. 22:6 The fact is parents that we are commanded of God to train, teach, and discipline our children so that when they are old they will not depart from the right way.

PROPER PRAISE Psalm 34:1-10 (Scripture Reading) By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

The Supreme Question As most of you know I am a California boy. The strange weather, the fires and earthquakes that can be shocking to many people here are all quite normal for a Californian. We take it is stride and don’t give it much thought. That was the case in Southern California in 1998. The Orange…

Grace to you and peace, from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
