- By Maggie Berndt-Dreyer, Bethlehem Lutheran Church, HillsDecember 10, 2019More liturgical flavors of Christianity follow a church calendar that moves through seasons. The church year begins with Advent, which we are in the midst of now. Advent is a complex season. It is a season of increasing light in the midst of darkness. Advent looks toward the end of all time while glancing back at the historical coming of God to live among us in Jesus Christ. It sits with…

- By Pastor Laura Phillips, Palisade Lutheran/First Lutheran Church, Valley SpringsNovember 25, 2019“Sing praises to the Lord, O you his faithful ones, and give thanks to his holy name. For his anger is but for a moment; his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning.” (Psalm 30:4-5, NRSV) Upon entering this season in which happiness and joy seem to be thrust upon us from every direction, the ladies of our church did a study on what it means to be…

- By Pastor Jason Cunningham, First Presbyterian Church, LuverneNovember 12, 2019(Read Hebrews 12:18-29) Have you ever been astonished? A well-known Presbyterian preacher claims that one of the key challenges of our day is that people tend to be “non-astonished.” This is true in many areas of life, but definitely in the church. One of the reactions to the good news of Jesus Christ should be astonishment. There is even a verse in the Gospels that literally reads “They were…
- By Erin Jacobsma, office manager, American Reformed ChurchNovember 05, 2019“Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: Jesus Christ and the American soldier. One died for your soul; the other for your freedom.” As we approach Veterans Day and other military holidays, this is a popular quote that often circulates through social media. But I question its truth. A more accurate statement might be: One died for your soul. Both died for your freedom.…

- By Pastor Roger Sparks, Luverne Christian Reformed ChurchOctober 29, 2019Lately I’ve been preaching on the Old Testament book of Amos. I find in it a strong, sustained call to repentance. I doubt Amos was popular, since most people want affirmation, not confrontation. Most people want to hear that they’re okay, that God knows they’re doing their best, and that in the end everything will be fine. Most people want to hear that God loves everyone unconditionally and that…

- By Rev. Andrew Palmquist, Bethany Lutheran Church, LuverneOctober 22, 2019If there is a holy, loving God, why do bad things keep happening? This question is asked often in our day and age. There certainly is no shortage of evil in the world in which we live! Mass shootings, murder-suicides, drug abuse, rape … and the list goes on. Two friends, one an unbeliever and the other a Christian, were enjoying their morning coffee together. They began to talk about the latest…
