10/30/22 Matthew 25:31-40 “Risk Taking Missionaries!” Every week I get the honor and privilege to stand here and gaze out upon you wonderful people in cyberland (go figure that one!) and I give thanks that we are all here. I think that it is amazing how...
10/23/22 Acts 2:42-47 “Intentional Love” This is the time of year when many things are happening. We have a lot of church dinners in the area including the ever-famous lutefisk dinners. We are winding up football and volleyball seasons and other fall sports. And of course,...
10/16/22 John 4:19-26 “Passionate Worship” I would like to begin today with a question. Have you ever been rolling along in life, doing things the way you always do them, and someone talks you into trying to do something a little different or a little new? ...
10/9/22 Romans 15:1-9 “Radical Hospitality” I’m going to start a sermon series today on helping us to be more fruitful in our lives and in our church. I normally don’t do series preaching because I usually don’t feel qualified to think that I know what we...

9/11/22 Exodus 14:19-31 “Do Not Fear!” I would like to begin a little differently today. I would like us to go back twenty-one years. What were you doing 21 years ago today, this morning? I remember that it was a nice sunny fall day. I had...
9/4/22 Romans 13:8-14 “Wake Up!” I probably shouldn’t spend a lot of time thinking because when I do, I sometimes think of all the things in the world that are wrong. You all know the list. Everywhere you look there are things that could be fixed...
8/28/22 Romans 12:9-21 “A Heaping Helping of Jesus” I remember a few years back when I was asked to do a funeral by a pastor who was on vacation. It was a different denomination but the same community. I was honored to be able to do...
