Why Should You Keep Sowing God's Word?

Scripture Verses
  • 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.

How Can We Go on in a World Devoid of God's Presence?

Scripture Verses
  • 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.

How Did You Let Yourself Get Pulled Into a Sin of Such a Great Kind?

Scripture Verses
  • 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.

How Do We Proclaim Christ When His Word Puts a Target on Our Back?

Scripture Verses
  • 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.

Work in God’s Field!

Scripture Verses
  • 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.

Jesus Did Not Come to Call the Righteous, but Sinners

Scripture Verses
  • Matthew 9:9-13

Jesus doesn’t wait for people to clean up their lives before He calls them. In Matthew’s story, we see a Savior who walks straight into the mess, seeks out the outcast, and brings healing to sinners who know they need Him. This sermon explores Christ’s mercy, the danger of Pharisee‑thinking, and the deep healing only the Great Physician can give — the healing of a wounded conscience, a broken past, and a heart that cannot fix itself. Jesus came not for the righteous, but for sinners — people like Matthew, and people like us.

How Can We Survive This World’s Drought?

Scripture Verses
  • Psalm 1

In this sermon on Psalm 1, Pastor Fred preaches into the heart of life in a spiritual drought. Drawing on Wyoming’s dry land, alkali ponds, irrigation ditches, and the stubborn realities of ranch life, he shows how the devil works to keep believers thirsty — and how the Lord plants His people beside the only stream that gives life. With vivid stories, Hebrew word‑pictures, and pastoral clarity, this message walks through the psalm’s contrast between the blessed tree and the wind‑driven chaff. You’ll hear why worldly advice dehydrates the soul, why false teaching is spiritual alkali, and why God’s Word remains the one true watering hole that never runs dry. A sermon of warning, comfort, and deep encouragement for anyone feeling the heat of this world’s drought.

The Triune God Holds Your Entire Life from Eternity Past to Eternity Future

Scripture Verses
  • Romans 8:26-30

In this sermon we step into the deep comfort of Romans 8, where Paul shows that the Triune God is not distant from our weakness but actively holding our lives—when we pray well, when we pray poorly, and even when we forget to pray at all. The Spirit lifts our wordless cries, the Father weaves even our hardships toward His good purposes, and the Son secures our future with a salvation planned before time began and carried to completion in His cross and resurrection. For anyone walking through anxiety, hardship, or uncertainty, this text anchors us in a God who has never once let go and never will.

What Does Pentecost Mean for Us Today?

Scripture Verses
  • Act 2:1-21

On Pentecost we see the faithfulness of God on full display: the God who keeps every promise, the Savior who brings salvation to all, and the Spirit who still works through the Word today. In this sermon we look at how the first Pentecost was not simply a moment of fire and languages, but the beginning of God gathering a harvest from every place and every story — and how that same Spirit now fills Christ’s Church, equips His people with different gifts, and continues to create and sustain faith through the living and enduring Word of God.

What are we to do while waiting for the Ascended Lord to return?

Scripture Verses
  • Acts 1:12-26

In this sermon from Acts 1:12-26, we look at those ten quiet days between Christ’s ascension and Pentecost and discover how the early believers lived in that in‑between time—a time much like our own. As they waited, the Word gathered them, prayer united them, God healed the wound the devil had struck, and their restored fellowship prepared them to bear witness to the risen Lord. Their example shows us how Christ keeps His Church steady and faithful even as we wait nearly two thousand years for His return: by anchoring us in Scripture, shaping our hearts in prayer, mending what sin has broken, and working through ordinary Christians to proclaim the extraordinary news of His resurrection.
