We have hope as buds in our soul. At scent of water, at the sound of doctrine of grace, we can spring forth again. There are troubles. The love of many waxes cold. Still, living water can fall on us. As dew comes quietly and life comes again. (Deuteronomy 32:2-4; Job 14:7-9) Speaker: Thomas Schaller […]

Fire and water are two things that we need for life. But these can rage out of control, as can our trials and troubles in this world. Paul even wound up in prison in Rome. Christ keeps us, however. God brings us through to glorify Himself. The fire refines. The water cleanses. (Isaiah 43:1-3; Psalm […]

We are never more like God than when we forgive. Uzzah touched the Ark God because he thought his hands were cleaner than the dust God created. Earth needed multiplied humanity to expand Garden. Christ came and lived as the perfect representation for God as the Last Adam. Created world awaits for His people to […]

Life in Christ can be an adventure if we answer His call. He gives us living waters, that He draws out of us through His Spirit and His life. We are turned from old ways and released to victory in Him. And we cannot help be tell this truth in little places and big places. […]

The first miracle of Jesus in John 2 came at a wedding that had run out of wine. Jesus turned the water and saved the feast. Our life was made for the feast, and that feast is made possible by the Cross. (John 2:1-10) Speaker(s): Pastor Thomas Schaller Sermon 11817 9:00 AM on 1/12/2020

We sometimes worship what is not God. We can forsake the fountain of living waters. We seek other sources of life and refreshment. We carve out containers that are cracked, we make things that cannot hold what we need. Elisha wanted double portion of Elijah’s spirit. Jesus promised to send Spirit and we now have […]

God is pictured as having married Israel, His people. They forsook Him and made a golden calf almost immediately. Though they sought others, they were left unfulfilled. He won them back. Let us soak up the pure water of the Word. (Hosea 2:7-8; Proverbs 14:14) Speaker(s):  Pastor Thomas Schaller Sermon # 11330 6:30 PM on 9/10/2017 P. […]

Hours with God and His Word, this is what we need for our times. The foolishness of the flesh chokes us and human love declines, but there is the love of God in us. We need to be made sensitive and discerning and allow His Spirit to cut deep and cleanse us on the inside. […]

We are plagued – all of us are. There’s a mildew that clings to us called the old sin nature. But our Beloved calls. Christ meets us and stirs the new heart given us and we move in Him. (Leviticus 14:40-44; Song of Solomon 5:2-5; Job 14:9) Speaker(s) Pastor Thomas Schaller Sermon # 11055 7:30 […]
