How shall the valleys of your life be filled in? How shall the mountains and hills of your life be made low? How shall the crooked roads of your life become straight? How shall the rough ways become smooth? These are not small, but very big, questions. Every single person in the world longs to…

The Lord, speaking through King David in Psalm 14, said of the human race, “There is no one who does good, not even one.” These words apply not only to terrorists, murderers and other heinous criminals in the world. These words apply to every one of us, and just as much. Not one of us…

Jesus teaches that no one knows the day or hour of his coming. Yet we speculate, don’t we? We have a fascination with end time dates. We are also strangely sleepy about the end, as if it will never come. So Jesus also teaches us, “Keep Watch!” Come and hear this sermon based on Mark…

Sometimes we Christians get lost in the details. So much is happening around us all the time—personal events, national events, world-wide events—and so much seems so out of control, it is easy to get lost in it. “What is the world coming to?” we ask. “What is the purpose of it all?” “Who can show…

We fallen human beings have many fatal flaws. One of them is this: we fix our gaze worldly things and are easily impressed by them. Such a gaze can be fatal if we allow worldly things to become the basis of our salvation hope. Only Jesus is truly impressive–impressive in his love and power, and basis of true…

God raised up Luther to preach Christ according to three pillars of truth: salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, by the authority of Scripture alone. Come and hear…

Life is a good teacher. By living life we are being taught by life every day, and we learn many different lessons, which enable us to differentiate between bad and good, right and wrong. Behind all the lessons we learn is God. He is the actual life teacher. Of all the lessons he teaches us,…

  It is ironic that a book titled “Revelation” seems so mysterious to so many people. After all, a revelation is something made clear, a “Hey, I get it,” moment. The last book of the Bible is titled “Revelation,” yet Christians generally do not view it as a book which makes things clear. Many say…
