Things Jesus Never Said: “You Should Only Pray When…”

Posted on October 1, 2015 by Jacob Sahms

I’ve used this before – some of you will groan – but it always presents me with a look at how prayer must look to God. A very religious man was once caught in rising floodwaters. He climbed onto the … Continue reading →

Things Jesus Never Said: The Bible Says It And I Believe It!

Posted on September 24, 2015 by Jacob Sahms

Things Jesus Never Said: God Wants Your Team To Win (Sunday’s Sermon Today)

Posted on September 10, 2015 by Jacob Sahms

Posted on August 27, 2015 by Jacob Sahms

Sunday’s Sermon Today: Packing The Essentials (Romans 12:1-21)

Posted on August 13, 2015 by Jacob Sahms

I must admit: I like going on vacation. But there’s something about vacation that I don’t like, and it’s similar to what I don’t like about Christmas [which I, general speaking, love.] I can’t stand packing, even more than I dread the … Continue reading →

Posted on July 1, 2015 by Jacob Sahms

My name is Jacob, and I have a problem. (All say, “Hi, Jacob.”) I have a real problem with being right. It’s one of those tendencies I have had since I was a child. If the rules are there, they … Continue reading →

Sunday’s Sermon Today: By Faith (Romans 4:16-25)

Posted on June 24, 2015 by Jacob Sahms

In today’s Scripture, Paul goes old school. Sure, Paul is old by our standards, clocking in at nearly two-thousand years ago, but his audience would’ve known the story of Abraham well. It was part of their common understanding of the faith, … Continue reading →

Posted on June 10, 2015 by Jacob Sahms
