6/7/20 Luke 1:39-56 “God Always Keeps His Promises!” Some of you may have realized by now that I really stress having a prayer life. I don’t think that there is anything more important to do than to pray. Probably the main reason I say this is...
5/31/20 John 15:26-16:15 “Let’s Enjoy God!” Last week I mentioned something about the mystery of the Trinity and how I wasn’t going to try to explain it. I’m still not going to try to explain it except to say that if we didn’t have the Holy...
5/24/20 John 17:6-19 “You Need Prayer as Much as Oxygen!” I love this weekend because it is the unofficial 1st Sunday of the summer. I know that the weather has not been the best this spring but I always feel after this weekend that we are...
5/17/20 John 15:9-17 “What the World Needs Now…” I would like to begin by telling you about a week I had once. It had been quite a week. It began on Monday when I joined a group of pastors at a spiritual retreat in Fargo. I...

4/26/20 Acts 3:12-19 “Amazing Love for You!” I was hoping that this would finally be the Sunday when we don’t have to talk about the coronavirus any more but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I’m afraid that we are going to have this for...
4/19/20 1 John 1:1-2:2 “Let Go of It! I hope that everyone had a nice Easter. I also hope this coronavirus has not gotten anyone ill or depressed. We have been quarantined for some time now and that gets to wear a little on nerves. Personally,...
4/12/20-Easter 1 Cor. 15:1-11 “It’s Friday, But Sunday is Coming!” Isn’t this a great Easter morning? I wrote that line earlier knowing full well that I would not know what kind of day this would be. It might be raining or snowing or the sun might...
4/5/20 John 12:12-16 “Celebration Sunday” I think that it is really hard to believe that it is already Palm Sunday. We have had quite a spring so far if that is what you want to call it. In this area we had a lot of snow...
