God Sightings Week 24, June 27th – July 3rd

God Sightings Week 24, June 27th – July 3rd  Old Testament: 2 Kings 10:32 – 2 Kings 23:30    When reading through these passages, I get a sense that I’m reading current history.

God Sightings Week 22, June 13th – 19th

Old Testament: I Kings 11:1 – 21:29    Within these chapters we find one of the greatest heroes of the Bible – Elijah the Tishbite. He becomes a man that not only continues to work miracles, but also has no fear about standing up against the King himself.

God Sightings Week 22, May 30th – June 5th

Old Testament: 2 Samuel 15:23 – 24:25  These passages really show the difficulties that David encountered in his lifetime. Previously we had read how long it took David to finally secure his throne from Saul; several of those years being spent on the run in the “stronghold” trying to stay alive.

God Sightings #21, May 23rd – 29nd

As you can see Adam is much better at keeping up with this than I am.  Oh, to have the fortitude of youth once again.  Let me start with a poem you may have seen before but is most appropriate for our theme of God Sightings – BLESSINGS (author unknown) The man whispered, “God speak [...]

God Sightings Week 18, May 2nd – 8th

Old Testament    One of the overarching themes that we find in Judges is the phrase, “Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” As such, we repeatedly find these rather odd stories about “heroes” doing very non-heroic acts.

God Sightings Week 17: April 26-May2

OLD TESTAMENT: We have begun our journey into the Book of Judges.  It is one of the more enjoyable books of the Old Testament, especially after reading all of the laws and tribe boundaries.  Actually, “enjoyable” is not the best word as the Book of Judges is filled with tragedy.  As Adam mentioned last week [...]

Sermon: DRIVING OUT THE NEIGHBORS – April 25, 2010

Scripture Reading: Joshua 23:1-11 What stories we could tell about our neighbors – both good and bad – stories of neighbors helping far beyond the call of duty and stories of neighbors who have made our lives miserable.  As a young teenager, our next-door neighbors sold drugs out of their house.  Sharing a common, narrow [...]

God Sightings Week 16, April 18th-25th

Old Testament: Joshua 15:1 – Judges 2:9    One of the overarching themes that we see presented in these sections – and into Judges as well – is the trouble that the Israelites encountered due to not fully driving out the inhabitants of the land. On careful reading of the text you’ll find several places [...]

Sermon: GOOD OLD MOSES – April 11, 2010

Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 34:1-12 I just spent a few hours the other day with an important “four score and more-er.” I had a quick meeting in Bismarck on Thursday and was able to fit in a few hours with this person on Friday morning before heading back.  That important “four score and more-er” is my [...]

Sermon: ROCK CONCERT – March 28, 2010

Sermon:  Audio not available due to technical difficulties. Scripture Reading: Luke 19:28-40 A few years ago I was riding my bicycle with a new acquaintance who had recently moved to Rapid City.  We had been talking about our mutual faith and our respective churches.  As we rode past the Civic Center, I pointed out the [...]
