The events of the week have given emphasis to our theme this Sunday.  There are many questions as the why of hatred and murder.  There are few satisfying answers.  Our God redirects us to his love.  It is that love alone that can transform a heart from death to life, from anger to peace, hatred to hope.

Deuteronomy 30:9-14 7/10/16 Delight Again

Jonah is a fascinating book not only because Jonah was given a second chance, but also because Nineveh - the last people who deserved the gospel - were given a second chance.  What was it that frustrated Jonah at the end of the book?  The answer might surprise you!

Jonah 3:3-4:4 7/3/16 Second Chance

Today we see just how deep a Christian can fall into sin through the life of King David.  God sends Nathan the prophet to call him to repentance.

2 Samuel 11:26-12:15 6/12/16 Debits Forgiven

$145 billion may seem like alot of money, but it doesn't compare to the price that God paid for your soul.  You belong to God.  God's Spirit lives in you! Now when people come to see you, they will also see God temple.

1 Kings 8:41-43 5/29/16 Temple of God

Jesus has finished his work of saving the world.  He ascends into heaven to take his place at the right hand of the Father where he rules all things for the good of his church.  Alleluia!  Sing to Jesus!

Revelation 19:11-16 5/8/16 King of Kings

How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!  Michigan Lutheran Seminary exists to train future public ministers of the gospel.

Isaiah 52:7 4/3/16 Michigan Lutheran Seminary Choir

He's risen!  Easter is the proof that our sins are forgiven.  Because Jesus lives we also will one day live with him in heaven.  Paul speaks of the mystery of the resurrection.  How can death be just like sleep?  How is it possible that we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed?  Watch and find out!

1 Corinthians 15:51-57 3/27/16 Easter Mystery

There was no one when God looked who could take away sin.  There was only one thing that he could do.  Watch to find out what that was.

Isaiah 59:12-20 2/10/16 No One

As we welcome a New Year, there are a range of emotions.  Opportunity and hope could be in store for us in 2016!  Yet fear and dread can loom over the horizon as well.  Our God has made a few powerful promises on the pages of Scriptures.  Take a moment to see how he has always kept his promises.  2016 will be no different - another year under his grace and mercy!

Genesis 17:1-7 1/3/16 New Year, New Name

There is plenty of war to go around, but in this positive text from Isaiah, it seems as though the peace is a done deal!  How can the prophet be so positive?  (It has to do with Christmas)  Watch and find out!

Isaiah 9:2-7 12/24/15 Joy to the world

What does Christmas have to do with "divine retribution" and "vengeance"?  Not much, but this is right in line with the season of Advent.  Watch and find out why.

Isaiah 35:1-10 12/9/15 Advent - Coming to Save

When our Lord returns as his second coming, the world will end.  When will this day be?  The Bible does giving us signs to look for.  Should we be afraid?  How will we be able to stand before the Judge of the living and dead on that day?  Watch and find out.

Malachi 4:1-2 11/8/15 Surely the Last Day is Coming

500 some years ago Martin Luther pounded 95 Thesis, or discussion topics, on the local bulletin board - the castle church door.  There was nothing essentially rebellious about his work.  His conscience bothered him and he wanted to talk about a few things.  That innocent action ignited a world wide movement to reform the church.  The return to the gospel is one of the most important events in the history of the world.  In our sermon we look at the little topic of repentance and how that made a HUGE impact on Martin Luther and on Christians still today.

Jeremiah 18:1-11 11/1/15 The Potter's Hands

This Sunday we continue our stewardship series under the banner One in Christ.  Last week we looked at God's gift of family and marriage.  This week we'll consider the family that you get to choose - your friends.  What role do friends hold in our Christian walk and how can we be One in Christ with them?  Watch to find out!

Exodus 4:1-17 15/10/18 Friends Indeed

Have you ever wondered what the perfect marriage looked like?  How did Adam propose to Eve?  Was it love at first sight?  Genesis 2 is an in depth look at the creation of mankind briefly touched on in Genesis 1.  Watch to see what we can learn from the perfect marriage.

Genesis 2:18-24 10/11/15 The Perfect Marriage

What was the lowest point in your life?  For Jeremiah you might think that it was being thrown into a cistern (big hole for water storage).  It's hard to imagine, but things got even worse.  Watch how Jeremiah responded on his bad days and consider how we can respond as well.  Even in the low points of life as we bear our crosses, God is still with us.

Jeremiah 38:1-13 9/20/15 Low Point

It is the power of the Gospel command of Jesus that opens eyes and changes hearts.  In our sermon we will see how springs really can break forth in the wilderness!  God creates life where there is none.  He will do it again today.

Isaiah 35:4-7 9/13/15 Everything Done Well

It's right about this time of summer when I realize that I won't actually have more time during the "summer break".  I'm gone on vacation - that is extremely busy.  When I come back there are extra activities for me to do all before school starts again next month.  Take time to be with your Lord.  He marveled how God's people were like sheep without a shepherd.  Even if you are a member of a Christian church, do we look and act the same way?

Jeremiah 23:1-6 7/26/15 Bad Shepherds

When the going gets tough, that's when the tough get going.  This isn't exactly what God is saying to us today.  When the going gets tough, turn to God.  In fact he tells us to turn to him even in the good times!  How great is his compassion!  How great is his faithfulness!

Lamentations 3:22-33 7/12/15 The Compassion of Our God

How much time have you spent watching your grass grow?  Or better yet, have you ever watched a seed germinate?  I'm sure with a camera and a few special effects you could very quickly watch both of these things happen.  But no one has video of this happening in a soul.  God's word creates faith by the power of the Holy Spirit no matter what we do.  God gives the increase.  To him be the glory!
