Linger in Jesus’ Name

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 13 May 2012 12:30:00 GMT

May 13, 2012 - Rev. Jon Baumann -
How would you define what a friend is? Some one wrote that “A friend is one who comes in when the whole world has gone out.” Clearly, a friend is someone you can trust to always do the right thing to maintain your relationship without any expectation of repayment. Is Jesus your friend? YES! He loves you so much that he laid down His life for you.

The Vine, The Branches, and The Fruit

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 06 May 2012 12:30:00 GMT

May 6, 2012 - Rev. Dr. James F. Keuch -
Jesus is the Vine and we Christians are the branches; and the only way that this happens is when our Lord speaks to us in the Word.

The Sheep of the Shepherd

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 12:30:00 GMT

April 29, 2012 - Rev. Michael Zarling -
Throughout the Bible, we are called sheep. Being called sheep isn’t exactly a compliment. But is is an apt description of our lives of wandering away from and following our Good Shepherd. Jesus Christ.

Touch and See

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 12:30:00 GMT

April 22, 2012 - Rev. Peter Schmidt -
All of us have personal social space. There are very few people we allow to come into that close and personal space on a regular basis. The remarkable truth made clear throughout the Scripture is that God invites you into His personal space.

Believe in the Risen Lord

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 12:30:00 GMT

April 15, 2012 - Rev. Michael Zarling -
The triumph of the Easter victory and its assurance is our encouragement to live as Easter Christmas. Today Saint John encourage us by asking. “How are you to live?”

Easter Fear

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 12:30:00 GMT

April 8, 2012 - Rev. Carl Lehenbauer -
Death is final, and when the woman went to prepare Jesus” body for ht final burial they expect the tomb to be as silent as the grave is supposed to be. It’s no wonder they were filled with fear at the message that Jesus was alive , and that message turned their world upside down, and it does the same to ours.

Holy War!

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 12:30:00 GMT

April 1, 2012 - Rev. Michael D. Zarling -
Jihad is scary word used by people fighting a religious holy war in their god’s name. Yet, this Holy Week, we see a real holy war, a real jihad, as Jesus enters Jerusalem to do battle against the devil for the right to claim people’s souls.

One of One Hundred Percent

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 12:30:00 GMT

March 25, 2012 - Rev. Dan Feldsher -
There are many ways in which people are different. But in today’s sermon, we will see that in the most critical area we are all the same - sinners for whom Jesus died. We are all one of the one hundred percent.

For God So Loved the World

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 12:30:00 GMT

March 18, 2012 - Rev. Brian Adams -
Love is one of the most overuse words of all times. We “Love” nice weather, or a delicious meal or the smell of freshly mowed grass. But God’s love doesn’t express itself in terms of feelings or emotions. Rather, God’s love is expressed in actions and sacrifice. His love was the ultimate sacrifice to declare us “forgiven“ and claim us for Heaven.

Being Counted

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 12:30:00 GMT

March 11, 2012 - Rev. Allen L. Pingel -
“And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.” Famous words from our National Anthem! What does it really mean to stand up and be counted for something? Can i count on you to tune in this morning to find out? Please do!

How Awesome is the Lord of Heaven!

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 13:30:00 GMT

March 4, 2012 - Rev. Brian Adams -
Have you ever though about the fascination of keys? They come in many shapes, sizes and complexities. Keys can lock or unlock just about anything, regardless of size, weight or shape. Now imagine the key that God uses to open the door to heaven for us!

Jesus is Prepared to Identify with Sinners!

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 26 Feb 2012 13:30:00 GMT

February 26, 2012 - Rev. Randal W. Schoemann -
What benefits does Baptism give? It works forgiveness of sins, rescues from death and the devil, and gives eternal salvation to all who believe this, as the words and promises of God declare. Which are these words and promises of God? Christ our Lord says in the last chapter of Mark: Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. In today’s message we will hear how Jesus’ Baptism in the Jordan River sets the stage for Him accomplishing His mission to pay for our sins.

Praise the Transfigured Lord!

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 13:30:00 GMT

February 19, 2012 - Rev. Brian Adams -
Life is filled with peaks and valleys. Peaks are times to celebrate and to praise God - such as your wedding day, or the birth of your child. But valleys are life’s challenges - such as a diagnosis of cancer or the death of a loved one. These are times that can shake you faith. No matter what life brings us, we need to focus on praising God for His amazing grace and His amazing power.

The Cry of the Helpless and the Comfort of the Helper

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 13:30:00 GMT

February 12, 2012 - Rev. Joseph Fisher -
You probably remember an old soap commercial that talked about how hard it is to get things clean - really clean. You try scrubbing and soaking and you still end up with that ring-around-the-collar. It really seems so hopeless. Well, that’s a picture of the uncleanness of our sin, but the Good News is that when it comes to our sins, Jesus is always willing to make us be cleansed.

Ministry Without Money

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 13:30:00 GMT

February 5, 2012 - Rev. Jim Behringer -
In today’s world of mega-churches, large staffs, and very large operating budgets, is it possible to minister to a congregation or effectively spread the Good News of the Gospel without putting money first? Listen as Reverend Behringer presents the concept of “Ministry Without Money.”

Modern Prophets

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 13:30:00 GMT

January 29, 2012 - Rev. Allen L. Pingel -
An elderly woman walked into a large department store and approached a salesperson. She explained that she wanted to return an automobile tire she felt was unsuitable for her car. The woman explained that she had the tire with her but had lost the receipt. The salesperson discovered that she had been a longtime customer of his store, and said, “That’s not a problem. Would store credit be OK?” What’s extraordinary is the the store didn’t sell automotive equipment - not even tires. This is a modern day prophet story about people who received good things they didn’t deserve.

Don’t Be Surprised! The Word Works!

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 13:30:00 GMT

January 22, 2012 - Rev. Brian Adams -
It has been said, “The pen is mightier than the sword.” But just how powerful are words? Can words teach? Can they influence? Can they settle disputes? Can they turn a city full of evil people into God-loving Christian? Listen as Reverend Adams provides answres to these questions.

Under the Fig Tree

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 13:30:00 GMT

When was the first time you were invited to know Jesus? In the message today, hear how a man was invited in his own backyard to come and see Jesus.

God’s Servant Introduces Himself

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 13:30:00 GMT

January 8, 2012 - Rev. Harlyn Kuschel -
At Jesus’ baptism, God the Father spoke from Heaven saying, “This is my Son. With Him I am well pleased.” In today’s sermon text, Jesus introduces himself as the “Servant of the Lord, the One chosen and set apart by God for a special task.” Listen as Reverend Kuschel discusses the importance of these introductions.

Mine Eyes Have Seen

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 13:30:00 GMT

January 1, 2012 - Rev. Donald Hackbarth -
To be able to see is a blessing from God. God created us with eyes to see the wonders of His creation, to see the smile on a baby’s face, to see the words of Scripture and gaze into the mystery of our salvation. Second is the sight we received at Baptism, the sight that also reads Scripture and believers that salvation came to us in the Person of Jesus Christ.

Christmas is Merry Because of Christ

December 25, 2011 - Rev. David Rockhoff -

This Christmas Day, focus on who the person Jesus really is. He is both God and man, who came as the One who would save all people from their sins. Knowing this truth makes our Christmas a joy to celebrate!

A Turn-Around Christmas

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 13:30:00 GMT

December 18, 2011 - Rev. Allen L. Pingel -

A little boy wanders away from his mother in the store and she cannot find him. Suddenly over the loudspeaker comes a voice. ‘Mrs. Brown, would you please come to the front service desk and pick up your little boy?’ When the mother gets to the service desk, the little boy shouts, MOMMY! MOMMY! I’M SO GLAD I FINALLY FOUND YOU! Obviously, the little boy has it all turned around.

Cutting Through the Wrapping

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 13:30:00 GMT

December 11, 2011 - Rev. David Rockhoff -

In these days of commercialization of holidays, it’s easy to lose sight of what Christmas is really all about. When we focus on the birth of Jesus as the reason for Christmas, we then experience the true joy of the season in our lives.

Preparing for Christmas

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 13:30:00 GMT

December 4, 2011 - Rev. Robert Zick -

Even as all the world seems to be getting ready for Christmas, John the Baptist prepares the people who hear him, then and now, for the true Christmas - the arrival of God’s reign in the person of Jesus.

Lutheran Radio Church Service — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 13:30:00 GMT

November 27, 2011 - Rev. Jon A. Bauman -

The holidays are upon us, with all the different preparations that people are making. During Advent, we are also preparing for the holidays by remembering whose birth five us the real reason for celebrating - the birth of Jesus Christ.
