Sermons About Father
The Porch Light's On
"Home…" At it's very best, "home" is a place we all long for…a place that is safe…a place we are unconditionally loved…a place we can let our hair down and know that we will not offend….a state of being…secure…safe…at ease…."home". So many in our day have not experienced this kind of "home" in growing up, nor have they understood the offer of "home" that our heavenly Father extends to us. Instead of seeing a loving Father waiting at the door, they have feared an angry God. But the New Testament paints a much different picture of God – and maybe its an image you need to embrace. The image of the porch light being left on at night…the picture of a daddy worried sick as He waits for His runaway child to come home. The truth is, we are ALL runaways in our own way. Some of us have begun the journey home, others still need to turn around…but ultimately we walk the same path. Maybe it's time you headed for home. The porch light is on…the door is unlocked…the family is waiting! Key Passage: Luke 15:11-31

Different By Design
<p>Men and women, created in the image of God, are equal in value, importance, significance and dignity. But in a reflection of the glorious unity and diversity of the Trinity, men and women are also created and called by God to serve in different but complementary roles. In the context of the church and family, men are called by God to lead and provide, and women are called by God to help. This calling predates mankind's fall into sin.</p> <p>To say all this is barely to scratch the surface; applying this requires careful attention to God's commands and a watchfulness that we do not fall into the various temptations that beset us as men and women. But there is great joy to be found in walking out God's calling for us.</p> <p>Scriptures referenced include Genesis 1-3; 1 Corinthians 11:3,7-11; 1 Corinthians 15:22,28; Romans 5:15; 1 Timothy 2:13,15; Colossians 3:18; Titus 2:4-5; Ephesians 5:22-25; 1 Peter 3:1-6; 1 Timothy 5:9,14; Proverbs 31:28.</p> <p>See also the link to this sermon's notes.</p>

Father Abraham
There is a debate going on in the world of theology between two camps: Dispensational Theology and Reformed (or Covenant) Theology. In this message Pastor Lundmark shows how the Israel Church Distinction is incompatible with Galatians 3:7-9. We learn that it is those of faith who are children of Abraham, not the children of the flesh. Also, Pastor Lundmark shows that while the Dispensationalist believes there was not enough revelation for the Old Testament saints to believe in the Gospel, the New Testament clearly shows that the gospel was preached even to Abraham and that the people in Jesus day new the redeemer of Israel was coming! In this message Pastor Lundmark deals with what he calls "the most important debate of our day".
