The Trouble with the Truth (July 2, 2023)

Topic: Rejection, Share, strength, Troubles, Truth

The Holy Ministry preaches Christ in spite of persecution. Christ promises courage for His witnesses to testify even in the face of pain or persecution. The Prayer of the Day is one of the most ancient in the Church’s use. It seems to have been suggested by the disasters of the dying Western Empire. As Rome crumbled, the Church prayed for God’s governance that she might worship in peace and joy. Today Christ reminds us that even when that peace and joy are absent, He will give us the courage to continue to testify in His name. The Holy Ministry preaches Christ in spite of persecution.

The Redeemer Lives to be the Only Way to Heaven (May 7, 2023)

Speaker: Pastor Randy Ott

Topic: Comfort, Direct, Patience, Reveal, Truth

I am the way, the truth, and the life. Christ’s message is so exclusive that it rejects all others. There is only one way to the Father, and that way is a person. The exclusivity of salvation resting in the person of Jesus Christ is a rock against which the unbelieving world crushes itself, but upon which God builds his Church. The Redeemer Lives to be the only Way to heaven.

The Redeemer Lives to be The Gate to Heaven (Apr. 30, 2023)

Speaker: Pastor Randy Ott

Topic: Connected, Rebuke, Shepherd, Truth, Voice

On Good Shepherd Sunday we see how sharp the contrast is between true shepherds and false shepherds. All is determined by their relationship to Christ, the only gate for the sheep. The Redeemer Lives to be my Good Shepherd.
