The Humble Will Be Exalted
Today I’m preaching on just one proverb from the Bible, our first reading today. Just one little Proverb might not sound like much to go on, but I hope you’ll come to see this as a good thing.
Are You Narrow Enough?
/in sermons /by Amanda PetersenDoes this section from Luke 13 give you the shivers? Doesn’t it strike just the smallest amount of fear in your heart?
Pioneers on the Path to Heaven
/in sermons /by Amanda PetersenWhat do you think of when you hear the word, pioneers? University of Wisconsin–Platteville?
Stop Worrying, Your Father Knows What You Need
/in sermons /by Amanda PetersenA study was done on the frequency of Christian character traits taught in the New Testament. It probably won’t surprise you that love was number one, taught some fifty times. It may surprise you that a close second was humility with 40 instances.
Don’t Play the Fool
/in sermons /by Amanda PetersenPerhaps the parable that Jesus tells today hits a little close to home. Perhaps, like I have, you’ve struggled with this story.
No Prayer For Mercy Goes Unheard
/in sermons /by Amanda PetersenIt may be ambitious, but if you listen carefully, a study of our first reading today will answer a lot of burning questions that Christians have today. Questions like: How should we think about God’s wrath and judgment in the Bible?
“One Thing is Needed”
/in sermons /by Amanda PetersenIt’s amazing how fast things become useless, that we once thought absolutely necessary. For instance, I remember a doctor who said he’d have a pager on his hip until the day he died.
What to Expect from Your Pastor
/in sermons /by Amanda PetersenI’m a huge believer in following the lectionary. To some of you this will come as no surprise. I’ve said it time and again. Perhaps some of you are wondering what in the world is “the lectionary.”
Christ’s Compassion Will Bless America
/in sermons /by Amanda PetersenI’m guessing that at some point everyone in this room has either said or sung the words “God bless America.” In fact, it’d be interesting to have a count of the total number of times that short prayer will be spoken in the coming weeks as we approach the 4th of July.
Deliver Us From Evil?
/in sermons /by Amanda PetersenIt’s the seventh petition of the Lord’s Prayer. We pray it nearly every week in worship. Perhaps you pray it daily in your own personal prayers: “Deliver us from evil.”
