This is what we preach
- Isaiah 55:6-11
Why Should You Keep Sowing God's Word?
- Isaiah 55:6-11
Why should Christians keep sowing God's Word, especially when the soil looks hard, the season feels uncertain, and the weather of life keeps changing? In this sermon from Isaiah 55:6–11, Pastor explores God's promise that His Word never returns empty. Using vivid agricultural imagery familiar to life in Wyoming, this message shows how God Himself prepares the season, softens the soil, sends the weather, and guarantees the harvest.
- Exodus 33:12-23
How Can We Go on in a World Devoid of God's Presence?
- Exodus 33:12-23
In this sermon we wrestle with a question that sits deep in every Christian heart: How can we go on in a world where God's presence seems hidden? Moses pleads with the Lord for assurance, for forgiveness, for the promise that God will truly go with His people. And the Lord answers, but not by showing His full glory, which "no human being can see… and live," but by revealing His goodness, His compassion, and the "after effects" of His passing presence. Drawing from moments like Moses being placed "in the crevice of the rock" and seeing only the "vapor trail" of God's glory, this sermon proclaims the comfort that God still shows Himself today, in His Word, in His sacraments, and in the forgiveness we speak to one another. So we see God does show us his presence in the after effects, which are His promises, His mercy, His gifts, and they're enough." This message leads us to rest in Christ's continual presence among His people, the One who took on human flesh so we could know, without doubt, that we are forgiven and that we belong to Him.
- Exodus 32:15-29
How Did You Let Yourself Get Pulled Into a Sin of Such a Great Kind?
- Exodus 32:15-29
How does someone who has seen God’s power, heard His voice, and pledged faithfulness end up worshiping a golden calf just weeks later? Even more unsettling is how often faithful Christians find themselves asking the same question after their own worst sins. Exodus 32 doesn’t merely expose Israel’s idolatry; it exposes the sinful nature that lives in every one of us. Yet where sinners shatter God’s covenant, Christ keeps it perfectly, bears its curse, and brings us back to God. Join us as we explore one of Scripture’s strongest texts of Law and discover why the greater the ruin of our sin, the greater the glory of our Savior.
- Jeremiah 20:7-13
How Do We Proclaim Christ When His Word Puts a Target on Our Back?
- Jeremiah 20:7-13
Jeremiah 20:7–13 gives us a prophet at his breaking point, having been mocked, pressured, betrayed, and tempted to stay silent, yet unable to hold back the Word burning in his bones. This sermon walks through Jeremiah’s struggle and shows how God meets His weary witnesses: not with scolding, but with strength. In the middle of fear, ridicule, and opposition, the Lord stands beside His people as a mighty warrior, already working for their deliverance. This message is for anyone who has felt the weight of speaking Christ in a world that resists Him, and for every believer who needs the reminder that God Himself upholds those who carry His Word.
- Matthew 9:35-10:8
Work in God’s Field!
- Matthew 9:35-10:8
In this sermon we look at Jesus’ compassion for a world torn up and cast aside, and the surprising way He chooses to bring His healing into it. The Lord plants us in His grace, gives us His own Word to speak, and sends us into the places He’s put us—homes, jobs, friendships, and quiet corners of life—to carry His mercy. Whether your gifts put you out front like Peter or quietly oil the gears behind the scenes, Christ calls you His worker and His priest. Because we have freely received His forgiveness, we freely give it, supporting one another and strengthening the harvest He places before us.
