The King Everlasting (Christ the King Sunday)
How would you react if suddenly, it was decided that the President of the United States would serve a lifelong term? It probably depends on who the president is, and how you feel about them. It also depends on how much you value the ability to choose our leaders every 4 years. On Christ the King Sunday, we ask how we feel about having a King who rules over us and the world not just for a lifelong term, but for all eternity! How you respond depends on who the King is, how you feel about him, and how much you value the ability to choose the leader of your life for yourself. But in God's Word, we're reminded why Christ the King is the best king to have on the throne of our lives. And we'll see why his everlasting reign has everlasting impact on us!

But in God's Word, we see why the death of a Christian is the greatest triumph of all! As we celebrate Saints Triumphant Sunday, we're reminded that all those who fall asleep in Christ, will awake--and will shine like the stars for eternity!

(Last Judgment)The arrival of the judge in the courtroom causes different reactions, depending on two key factors: who are you? And who is the Judge? Likewise, when we hear about the Last Day, and God returning to judge the world, people react differently. Some live in terror of facing God, others look forward to that day with great joy and eager anticipation. Why the differences? Again, because of who you are, and who the Judge is!
- Oct 31, 2021What Do You Stand For? (Reformation Sunday)What Do You Stand For? (Reformation Sunday)In today's sermon text, three men are willing to die rather than deny and disobey the one true God. A couple thousand years later, Martin Luther was willing to do the same rather than deny the truth of God's Word. Today, we also have to wrestle with the question, "What do I stand for?" What is the driving force of your life? What would you be willing to give up everything for, rather than lose or deny? On Reformation Sunday, we look to God's Word, and seek to model the faith of our forefathers. A faith that stands firmly on, and firmly for the truth of God's Word!
