- By Pastor Jeremy Wiersema, Reformed Church of SteenNovember 12, 2025Think about your day today. What was it like? Was it a good day or a difficult day? Was it a busy day? It seems like busy days are common for all of us. Sometimes I am so busy that I don’t have time to appreciate the fact that each day is a blessing that comes from God. I don’t think that is good. Psalm 118:24 speaks wisdom about how we are to approach each day. “This is the day the Lord has…
- By Pastor Jeremy Wiersema, Reformed Church of SteenAugust 20, 2025Grandma, don’t worry so much! Mom, it will be fine, don’t worry. Growing up, I said those two sentences with significant frequency. That’s because I grew up in a family of worriers. I am incredibly thankful for the love I experienced from my grandparents and parents. Sometimes Mom’s and Grandma’s love came in the form of worry. Now I am grown up, and there are days I really need to take my own…
- By Pastor Jeremy Wiersema, Reformed Church of SteenMay 28, 2025This past Monday was Memorial Day. Flags lined streets in many small towns and flew above cemeteries. Memorial Day, as we all know, is a day to remember those who have died while serving our nation in the military.

- By Pastor Jeremy Wiersema, Reformed Church of SteenDecember 18, 2024Are you ready for Christmas? There are only a few days left to get prepared. There are probably presents to wrap, and food to make. For me the shopping is done, and the best part is yet to come. My wife and I get to give gifts to people whom we love. One thing I have learned over the years is that a gift is only given when it has been received. That reminds me of a true story about my friend…
- By Pastor Jeremy Wiersema, Reformed Church of SteenOctober 02, 2024I am sure that many of us have noticed the extra farm vehicles on the road recently. In southwest Minnesota it is harvest time, and I love it. This love for the harvest began in me at an early age. I have fond memories of riding with my grandpa in the combine or my uncles in the tractor pulling wagons. I also remember the rides to the elevator, and if I was good, there might have been a glass…
- By Pastor Jeremy Wiersema, Reformed Church of SteenMay 01, 2024The week of April 8 was Severe Weather Awareness Week in Minnesota. Each year the National Weather Service makes an effort in every state to draw attention to the dangers of severe weather. At some point in all of our lives we have seen the devastation that severe weather can cause. We have seen destroyed homes, broken trees, and ruined crops. Storms are something that we all have learned to…
- By Pastor Jeremy Wiersema, Reformed Church of SteenOctober 25, 2023“Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every king of evil.” (I Thessalonians 5:21-22 NIV) I wish we all could trust everyone. When I was in second grade, I learned a really hard life lesson.
