Angry as Cain (Anger)

            Text: Genesis 4:1-16, Ephesians 4:25-32, Matthew 5:21-26

            Sermon Hymn “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” LSB 656/657

Do you or someone you know get “Angry as Cain?” Anger in the lives of Christians is real. Getting ‘Angry as Cain’ only brings destruction to yourself and others. Yet, in Christ believers can deal with anger in a way that brings peace. 

You are Not Rats! (Anxiety)

            Text: Genesis 15:1-6, Hebrews 11:1-16, Luke 12:22-34

            Sermon Hymn “Have no Fear Little Flock” LSB 735

Too many bills, not enough time, unanswered questions. Life is filled with anxious moments. Anxiety many times leads to depression and a lack of joy for life. Knowing who you are in Christ can make all the difference for those who suffer with anxiety.

A Better Tree (Depression)

           Text: 1 Kings 19:4-12, Psalm 13:1-6, John 1:1-14

           Sermon Hymn:  “Christ Be My Leader” LSB# 861

Depression is agony of body and soul. It can result in the isolation from friends and family. It also can isolate you from God and the gift of salvation in His Word.  Hear how God responds mercifully to Elijah and to you in times of great loss.

What Rules the Heart? (Self examination)

            Text: Genesis 8:13-22, 1 Peter 2:4-12, Mark 7:14-23

            Sermon Hymn “Rejoice, My Heart, Be Glad and Sing” LSB 737

That which rules the heart rules the person. So often Christians allow the ways of the world influence how they think and behave in the church. But how would things change if Christ ruled our hearts?
