We really don’t know who we are unless we go to God. New Covenant life changes us. This is our ministry. We have nothing in ourselves. All of us are enabled all of us. The power is in the Body of Christ. We can feel like worms. God delights to use simple ones. (Exodus 3:11; […]
How much murder, betrayal, lies, theft is going in the world? We note this because we are different. We take a message of hope. The foolishness of preaching saves people. It takes us peculiar ones like us in His mission. Vow to support His work in this broken world. Churches are needed so the faith […]
Moses supposed his brothers and sisters would understand what he was trying to do to lead Israel. But he was wrong. At burning bush, he found God’s way. There’s something we know like Mary the pregnant virgin when she met Elizabeth, an old lady having a baby. (Acts 7:23-33; Isaiah 12:4) Speaker(s): Pastor Thomas Schaller, […]
We can, like David, find ourselves in Ziklag moments. All is gone and all are against us. When we fall down, we get up. We do not lay still like a dead tree. We need an expectation. Desire in the Lord will bring delight. Just a little while and He will show us the full […]
Members of Christ’s Body are what we are. This is the organism ordained by the Lord and equipped with gifts to bring maturity to this reality. God has ordained for you the grace that helps you in this world. Be faithful. Stay at it. Effectual working happens with every part of the body of Christ. […]
God came down to us so that the fullness of God could fill man. He knows us deeply and ministers reality with a purpose. We become serious about our decisions and we don’t use lightness. There is nothing that satisfies the soul like God does. (2 Cor 1:18) Speaker(s): Pastor Thomas Schaller Sermon # 11690 […]
Faith and grace go together. We wear something that is different and that stirs reactions. Abraham tried to make the promise of a son happen by natural means. It worked and it was a disaster named Ishmael. But then came Isaac. Grace is with us so we can live by faith. (Galatians 4:21-31; Romans 4:16; […]
In messy situations, there is the essence of grace. In us, we have Jesus, the Pharisee, and the sinner woman. We can be cold judges. Is there a weeping, sinful woman inside you? She could care less about the Pharisee. She falls at feet of Jesus. He forgives and heals her because of her faith. […]
How many words do we say and hear in a lifetime? We need grace words. Miserable comforters are all around as they were near Job in his trials. God makes His strength perfect in our weaknesses. Hear words the edify and convict in love. Speak what draws people to the Lord. (2 Corinthians 12:7-10) Speaker(s): […]
Love conquered grief by death. The Atonement of Christ is the essence of justice and love. He decided to save us. He purposed in Himself to give His Son for the wrath triggered by our sin. He suffered pain — physically and psychologically. He was abandoned. All justice is done, was satisfied by His Son. […]
