12/1/19 Mark 13:24-37 “Is This the Second Coming?” It always seems a little different to preach on this Sunday which is the first Sunday of Advent and by the way it’s also the first Sunday of the Christian year. Normally when we were still serving churches...
11/24/19 Matt. 25:31-46 “Do You Measure Up?” We are shifting back to the New Testament this week as we look at a very famous passage in Matthew. Although this looks pretty straight forward, there has been a lot of misunderstanding here. Some people want to think...
11/17/19 Judges 4:1-24 “The Ladies and Barak” Today we are going to take a look at two of the women of the Old Testament. When I first started thinking about this topic I thought that we could sing something like, “I am woman, hear me roar.” ...
11/10/19 Col. 1:9-20 “Jesus Gives Us Everything” I think that I have mentioned this before. We live in a world where just about anything is at our fingertips. I remember when something we called TV dinners first came out. It was revolutionary for many moms. Before...

10/6/19 Philippians 3:4b-14 “You Can Be Perfect!” Every year many congregations celebrate world communion Sunday and it happens to be this Sunday. It is a day when all believers take communion everywhere. So when they are finished on that day, they can have the cleansed feeling...
9/29/19 Philippians 2:1-13 “A Wretch Like You and Me” In our area it will not be too long before we have our harvest or fall festival celebrations. Most churches in rural North Dakota are split between farmers and non-farmers. But even the non-farmers grow gardens and...
