Sermon

Barbara Brokhoff

... as surely as we live, know pain: pain of broken relationships, pain of physical hurt, emotional pain, pain of parting by death, pain of misunderstandings, pain of guilt for sin - and we will react to it in some way. We can kick and scream, we can feel sorry for ourselves, we can be angry at God, we can question "Why?" or we can follow Christ with confident trust and endure patiently and obediently.

Hebrews 5:8

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... after the talk the judge gives me, I will still have to pay the fine. That kind of driving sure does make me suffer and suffer a lot. How do you think you would feel if you were arrested by a policeman, made to go to court, and then pay a big fine for driving a little bit too fast? Pretty bad, that's how you would feel. But you learn a lot when you suffer. I don't drive as fast in the city as I used to drive. We all learn to obey by suffering. Sometimes our moms and dads ...

1 John 4:18

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... loving and want to love someone new. It is like going up higher and higher on the beam. Now you want to love your friend next door. Loving means caring about them and sharing your life with them. That is kind of dangerous if you don't know how they feel about you. You are taking a chance. But if you practice sharing and caring, then you get better at it, and you are less afraid. Pretty soon you can love the people at school like your teachers and your classmates. Someday you are going to love one person who ...

That's good, because if you weren't, you could probably take some ... even talked to the Lord about it, but the Lord said not to worry. His grace would help him to stand it. Sometimes all the medicines in the world won't help us feel better, will they, boys and girls? Then we have to remember St. Paul; he just put his trust in the Lord and let the Lord take care of him. That isn't always ...

1 Cor 7:29a

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... it shouldn't. We must remember that this is the way that Larry and Billy were made, and some day the same thing is going to happen to Billy. It is a plan for soap to be used up and someday to be all gone. Billy shouldn't feel bad, but instead he should feel good for Larry because Larry is making the plan come true. That is the same way for us. When God made the world that we live in, he knew that there was another world and that we would not stay here forever. Our world is like a ...

Hebrews 5:9

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... cow gives us the milk that we drink, put on our cereal, and use in our cooking. Cows are great. If you like milk, maybe you would like to make all the cows all over America feel good this morning by giving them a cheer. Let's do it, are you ready? Hip, hip, hooray, hip, hip, hooray!!! I just know that made all the cows feel a lot better. The real reason that I brought this picture, though, was to help you learn something about Jesus. A cow is the source of our milk.

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... heating pad. Good morning, boys and girls. How many of you have a heating pad? (Let them answer.) Aren't they great? I think a heating pad when you are sick is one of the best things that I know. As a matter of fact it seems to make you feel better than all of the medicine. Do you remember the last time you had a cold and you felt just terrible? Shivering one minute and so very hot the next that you knew something had to be wrong. After your mother gave you medicine she might have asked you if ...

Titus 3:5

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... when God forgives your sins. You don't want to make the same mistakes again, but you begin without any of the bad problems that you collected the year before. This morning I want to tell you a little bit about the way God feels toward you and me. Do you like to know how other people feel about you? I do, especially when I think that they like me. I am not so sure that I want to hear from the people who don't like me. Well, God likes you. As a matter of fact, he loves you, and I ...

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

[Turn on second radio to some hard rock.] I can hardly hear my music with the other radio playing, so I am going to ... honest with us, but sometimes we think that we must tell lies to others. There is confusion within us because of the opposition we feel. When our selfishness and the Spirit of God's goodness are opposed to each other, it causes us to do nothing. We are at ...

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... great. These are two of my favorites when it comes to clothes. How can you tell my favorite clothes from the other clothes? [Display the patches prominently.] You can tell by the patches! I have worn these clothes a lot because they feel good. The same is true of these toys. They are not bright and shiny like a new toy would be, but they are worn from being used a lot. These are really favorite toys and have been played with often. You can tell these are the favorite toys of someone ...

Galatians 4:4-5

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... wonderful and proud that your parents chose you and made you one of their family. Just think, they had a choice and they chose you for their very own. That is the way we should feel as children of God. We have been chosen and adopted as his children. Let's see how that adoption is working. (Begin to pull aganst the wood.) The adoption is working pretty well because there is no separation. The two now belong together and they will always stay together. That ...

Children's Sermon

Wesley T. Runk

... . When God makes a new life, it is a mystery. When someone dies, it is a mystery. We know that God is here but we cannot feel him, smell him, touch him, hear him, or see him. God is a mystery. But even if he is a mystery, we are still asked to ... of the things that he does are mysteries, but because we are Christians we have big responsibilities to take care of, because of what we know and feel about God. I don't think that the squirrel knows when it is going to snow or rain or how the trees are going to make ...

... with his disciples on a hill. 2. Parallel Accounts (Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:30-44; Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-15). The various accounts differ in details: Matthew: Jesus goes to a desert place in response to the news of John's murder. Mark: Jesus feels sorry for the people, for they are like sheep without a shepherd. Before the food is passed, the people are seated in groups of 50 and 100 in rows. Luke: Jesus takes his disciples to Bethsaida for rest and solitude. The people are seated in groups of 50. John ...

1 Corinthians 15:1-11, Isaiah 6:1-13, Luke 5:1-11

Sermon Aid

John R. Brokhoff

... the nearness of God when he experienced the knowledge and power to perform the miracle of the fish. He was in the presence of holiness and his sinfulness became apparent. Thus, he cried, "I am a sinful man." In the presence of a great and good God, humans feel unworthy because of their sin. To get people to acknowledge their sin is not to preach fire and brimstone of judgment, but to present Christ in all of his purity and perfection. 3. Take Him at His Word. Jesus asked Peter to do a ridiculous thing. He ...

Luke 21:5-38

Sermon

Erskine White

... rather than celebrate these holy days. Any one of us can find some way to identify with a text which talks about distress and perplexity, fear and foreboding at the advent of our Lord. So, what are we to do? How are we to overcome these feelings of discouragement and despair when everyone knows we’re supposed to be happy? Believe it or not, I saw the answer in a little daily ritual which took place in our house, involving our one-year-old daughter and a golden retriever puppy named Jesse. To understand ...

Sermon

Erskine White

Sermon

Erskine White

... dwelled among us. If you or I won't do this for God, who will? In one sense, a chosen people is a collection of chosen persons - a collection of chosen individuals. We each are chosen by name and specifically called by God. There is no need for anyone to feel ordinary in this world and we need not have an ordinary faith, because ours is not an ordinary God.

Acts 1:1-11

Sermon

Erskine White

[People] of Galilee, why do you stand looking at heaven? (Acts 1:11) When people are confused or afraid, when they feel that things are out of control, or when they feel helpless to overcome the problems which confront them, they often resort to "pie in the sky" religion. They look for Jesus to come and fix what they can't fix for themselves. They figure that one day, as if by magic, Jesus will make everything right for them in the " ...

It will keep us strong and victorious when our willpower is weak and our spirits feel defeated. Jesus didn't say to Bartimaeus, "Your good intentions" or, "The loudness of your voice" or, "Your perseverance has made you well." No, He didn't say that at all. "Your faith has made you well." How do you live this faith? You keep your eyes set on ...

Sermon Aid

John M. Braaten

... each of you the responsibility of bearing that sacrificial kind of love into your relationship. In other words, God's love and grace take human form as you care for and share with each other. That means the love you are to foster in your marriage is not simply a feeling, no matter how warm and affectionate, but an action. God's kind of love is always at work. It is not so much a noun as it is a verb. It is a love which works toward harmony and fulfillment. It is a love which grows out of the emotions ...

"Have you ever prayed for that?" asked the pastor. When the woman responded with, "No, I never thought of that," the pastor urged her to do it. So, shutting her eyes she prayed, "Please, Lord, lay your hand on me." And ...
