There's some neat blessings that happen when you go out and share Christ with people and share your lives with them.

Lutheran pastors like to talk about Jesus. Even at funerals, they make Jesus the focus of attention. Why?

What makes a sermon great? Today Pastor Kyle Madson shares the most important criteria for knowing if a sermon is great.

Did Jesus NEED to die? Couldn't God come up with any other option to forgive sins? Pastor Tim Hartwig has the answers today.

This is part one of a Three Part Devotional called Be Strong. The next parts will be posted in the coming weeks.

How good are you at resisting temptation? This Holy Week we join Pastor Tim Hartwig in thinking about temptations we have faced and remembering that Jesus has won the victory over sin. It doesn't depend on us. Thanks be to God!

What's trending? Who is Jesus? Today Pastor Kyle Madson talks about the Christian Creeds in our continuing series on church liturgy.

Every step of that just doesn't make sense to us. But it's God's wisdom, not ours.

Is church too crowded for Jesus? Why do you go to church? Why should you go to church? What's in it for you? Today Pastor Tim Hartwig answers questions about church.

The President rides in a limo. Royalty is often pictured riding majestic horses. Yet, Jesus rode on a donkey. As we reflect on the events of Palm Sunday Pastor Tim Hartwig tells us about the significance behind Jesus' mode of transportation.

"Hail, King of the Jews." The Roman soldiers spoke the truth, though they didn't realize it. This lenten season we're considering "Unexpected Prophets of the Passion" with Pastor Matt Moldstad, join us as we spend a few minutes reflecting on the passion of our King: Jesus.

They had the best of intentions and what they said was true, but it was not at all helpful.

In our church services we sometimes say a prayer called the Collect. Have you ever wondered why it's named that? Today Pastor Kyle Madson helps us understand this important prayer.

How do you greet your friends? Do you say "The Lord be with you?" Today, as we continue our series on church liturgy with Pastor Kyle Madson, we see Jesus' promise to us, that he will be with us always.

Jesus refers to death as sleep and that's a good way for Christians to view death. It's just a nap that you will wake from.

Would you expect Jesus' enemies to be the ones proclaiming the truth of God's plan?

Today I want to unpack the second major rest theme in the Bible with you.

Is God's Word foolish? This Lent Pastor Matt Molstad is exploring "unexpected prophets." God using the evil intentions of men for his good purpose. This may seem like foolishness, but it's actually very comforting.

How have you lived? When God the Father looks at what you have done will he be pleased with you? Jesus died at peace. And you can too.

It's better for you to be here. Otherwise you would already be in heaven.

Jesus came down to Earth for a very specific purpose. As he was dying on the cross he wanted YOU to know that his mission was fulfilled.

As a pastor for quite a few years I've had the chance to serve people who have suffered from chronic pain. Usually it's been from arthritis.

Back when I was in the military I remember one of my friends asking me "So what are you giving up for Lent?"

My life has undergone a rather dramatic shift in the last couple months.

When the angry mob was yelling for Jesus to be crucified they said "Let his blood be on us and our children." Today Pastor Matt Molstad tells us why every Christian should want Jesus' blood to cover them and their children.

And there are two things I want to focus on today: humility and testimony.

If a person dwells on negative things they might be called a Debbie downer. Or maybe somebody would call them an Eyore.

"That's my name, wear it out!" <- God encourages us to come to him about anything and everything. Have you talked with God today?

To be a birdwatcher, you need some binoculars. If you use binoculars correctly, they bring distant things into focus.

Have you ever been rejected? We fear rejection because it hurts. Are you hurting? Are you worried? Uncertain? Today we bring you the comforting words of Jesus.

People often ask, how can your baptism mean anything if you didn't choose it?

My kids love to play Monopoly, but I've observed something about the way they play. When they land on someone's property and have to pay, they often hold a grudge.

"For Jesus' Sake" Ever wonder what this phrase means? Wonder no more! Pastor Matt Moldstad explains why we say this in today's devotion.

Last week we talked about the second birth that God works through faith in Jesus Christ. But today I want to ask a question how can we be certain that that birth has actually happened?

"Frankly you don't even have any evidence for Jesus." How would you respond to this? Pastor David Thompson provides reliable evidence that Jesus existed and offers a better question to ponder.

Have you ever wondered whether or not you're truly a Christian?

Sometimes when people talk about the church and the state of Christianity in our world today, they can seem kind of defeated.

Have you ever wondered am I truly repentant? Or am I sorry enough?

Does God accept us just the way that we are? Whenever I get asked that question, I like to turn to John chapter three when Jesus has a conversation with Nicodemus.

Every evening my family likes to read a children's devotion book right after supper. One of our favorite books is this one I have here, Read With Me Bible.

My children are learning cause and effect. They don’t realize their actions cause problems. Similarly, we often downplay our sins, distancing ourselves from their severity. It is by recognizing our sins that we see the depth of God’s grace.

Doesn't it seem a bit odd how Jesus responds to this man?

Life is full of legitimate either/or questions and they belong that way. You can only be one thing or the other.

The "Footprints in the Sand" poem beautifully illustrates Jesus carrying us through tough times. But how do we know He's with us today? By spending time reading the Bible can we see Jesus walking with us during the difficult times of life.

So how are your New Year's resolutions going?

When we look at our lives and our hearts we don't often see peace. But peace doesn't come from within ourselves, it comes from what Jesus has done for you. Jesus' wounds are reminders that he paid for your wrongdoing and now you can have peace with God.

Jesus was at a wedding in Cana. He was there with his mother and some of his disciples.

The view from an airplane window is pretty amazing. Everything looks so small and far away. Sometimes God's grace looks small and far away, but the Bible tells us about Jesus' life, death, and resurrection, all done for YOU! God's grace is close and personal. God's grace is for YOU!

It's perhaps one of the most misquoted, misunderstood, sayings of Jesus.

Scholarly men from the East had traveled hundreds of miles following a miracle star that they said was telling them where the king of the Jews was to be born.

It's important to put your faith in something that has the strength to carry you through the difficulties of life. The one place you should put your faith is in Jesus. He lived for you, died in your place, and rose again to prove your sins are forgiven.

We were lying on our backs staring up at the night sky. My dad had cleared some land and pushed the brush up into a huge pile and we were burning it.

I remember when I was a kid, about six or seven years old, a friend of mine that lived down the street showed me the latest toy that he had found in a Happy Meal and I wanted it.

As we witness confirmations in our Lutheran church, we are reminded of our commitment to our faith. In Revelation 2:10, Jesus promises the crown of life to those faithful unto death. Jesus wore our crown of shame, bearing our sins on the cross, so we may inherit eternal life.

Evolutionists should be going wild. Soft tissue has been found in dinosaur bones. The first was in a t-rex in 2005.

Why do we call God Father? Beyond being our Creator and Provider, it's through faith in Christ that we're adopted into His family.

Check your mirrors!

Maybe you can still hear your driving instructor giving that command.

Pastor Don Moldstad compares the constant reminder of mortality to a "Death Church." We find hope in Jesus' resurrection, which brings us into the "Life Church." Through Christ, death is overcome, offering believers eternal life.

One day 10 men came to Jesus. They all had leprosy. Their disease caused them to live as social outcasts.

Have you ever been watching the news and you see a crime that is so terrible, so bad, that it just makes you burn with anger?

Historically, even non-Christians acknowledge Jesus's existence and empty tomb. 1 Corinthians 15 explains death entered through Adam, our ancestor, but through Christ, a new lineage of life is offered. Believing in Jesus grafts us into this living lineage, ensuring our future resurrection like Christ, the firstfruit.

Years ago there was an evangelism program that encouraged Christians to ask their neighbor: 'If you were to die today, would you go to heaven?'

In Luke chapter 15 Jesus tells us an incredible story about forgiveness and love.

Today as we begin our celebration of Holy Week, we meditate on Isaiah 53 and its prophetic message about our Savior from sin. We'll come back to this text in our Good Friday Devotion. (Look for new devotions this week on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.)

In the Bible, Jesus tells us a story about a servant who owed his master incredible debt. Something like a million dollars in today's currency.

Today, we consider the final statement made about Jesus during his suffering and death.

Do you ever feel terrible for something that you've done?

It seems the older I get the quicker the years go by.

Someone not long ago asked this question how many people did our Lord Jesus heal during the three years of his public ministry?

From little on, I remember our family saying the common table prayer before our meals. Part of that prayer is from Psalm 106 verse 6.

I have my father's memory. These are the words that I speak to somebody when I've forgotten something that I was going to tell them, or I forgot something that they told me.

Things are good. If we step back and take a view at the big picture of what's going on in our country today, in general, things are pretty good.

One day, when I was in the locker room, I remember the guy who normally sat next to me came in late.

Today we ask the question: what does the Bible say about ghosts?

It is much easier to gossip, to tell other people about someone's sin, rather than to confront the sinner. Why?

What do you wish for your children? Riches? Success? Pastor Moldstad only wants one thing for his children and today he encourages you to pray for the same.

Are you missing Christmas? If so, you might be dealing with what's often referred to as the post-Christmas blues.

What does God say about Marijuana? Many states have legalized marijuana, but is it okay for Christians to smoke it? Today we read 1st Peter to see what God says about (legal) recreational drug use.

Our name is such an important part of our identity, but it's interesting to think about the fact that we have no say in what our name is going to be.

"Bad luck." Are the bad things that happen the result of chance? Is life just a random collection of events? In Jeremiah, the Lord tells us otherwise. Join us today as we look at God's plan for you.

My name means dog. Now for myself and all the other Calebs out there, unless they really love dogs, that name probably doesn't mean much.

WWJD: What Would Jesus Do? Jesus was perfect, are we really able to live up to that standard? Today we look at Romans 7 where the Apostle Paul laments the struggle against our sinful flesh. But we find comfort here as well: "Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!"

God really cares about you, even more than you might think. "And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered." - Matthew 10:30

As a kid growing up I remember every evening my parents sitting down with us as a family at suppertime.

As a family sometimes our schedule can get crazy.

My phone is ringing, pick up my phone, and on the other end of the phone someone says, “Luke, this is your conscience. You're missing your final exam.”

I was having something like a pillow fight with my younger brother and sister.

There's a story that's told about a frog who is living in a pond.

When we consider the Triune God, sometimes it makes our minds hurt. It is a mystery how there can be three persons and yet one God at the exact same time. And for many people this bothers them because they can't wrap their minds around it. How about you?

We live in a dangerous world. We live in a world that wants to kill us, not just physically. We live in a world that has enmity toward our souls.

A number of years ago, when I was driving along the interstate, I saw a sign for a church that had this passage written on it.

When we try to comprehend a little bit of who God is, it's really difficult for us. It's such a tremendous contrast to who we are.

I was going through the big pile of Bibles to sign, and I told a secretary, I wish I could be doing this at a bookstore somewhere with people lined up to get my autograph for some interesting novel I've written.

One of the reasons for Jesus ascension is to demonstrate to us that his work of coming to pay for our sins is all completed.

It's interesting that becoming part of a Christian congregation is really a wonderful blessing from God.

Everything happens for a reason. God has a purpose for this. Is that true?
