"The Holiday Collection"
1. Happy Holidays (Christmas '05)
In this Christmas sermon Pastor Lundmark looks at the Book of Joel and explains that while we may say Happy Holidays during Christmas most holidays were birthed in times of serious trial. Sometimes Christmas is not a happy time for some people. Tragedy doesn't stop for the holidays. People die, disease continues, and jobs are still lost. Pastor Lundmark explains that in the book of Joel there was a Holiday making moment. We are encouraged to follow Joel's message to the hurting people of Israel when we face difficult times and make those trials into our own personal Holidays.
2. What Did They Know (Christmas '06)
What caused the wise men to follow a bright star to a stable in Bethlehem? What drove the Shepherds to leave their flock in the middle of the night to visit a stable? What caused Simeon look on this child with such favor? In this Christmas Sermon Pastor Lundmark asks the question "What Did They Know?"
3. Why Have You Forsaken Me? (Easter '07)
Just before Christ breathed his last breath on the cross he cried out "My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me". Have you ever wondered what the answer to Jesus Question was? In this brief Good Friday Message Pastor Jeremy Lundmark explores the answer to the question of our dying Savior.
4. A Holy Endeavor (Thanksgiving '07)
In 1 Timothy the Apostle Paul warns Timothy to guard against false teachers. In this section we learn that certain ones of the faith will withdraw from the faith, following false teaching. Amidst this warning Paul reminds us that every created thing of God is excellent, and nothing is rejected that is taken with thanksgiving. In this Thanksgiving message we learn that through the word of God and Prayer everything is made holy.
5. What Child Is This? (Christmas '07)
Every Christmas we focus on the baby Jesus laying in a manger. However, it has become imperative that we understand who that Jesus was in the manger. Some say he was the greatest prophet who ever lived. Others say he was the angel Micheal come to earth. Still others say he was God incarnate. Does and of this really matter? Are we just quibbling over details? Let's answer that question which the hymn raises "What Child is This?"
6. The Resurrection On Trial (Easter '08)
Every year we get together and we say “Christ is Risen, He is Risen Indeed!” While this confession is common within the Christian community, the world questions our certainty. In this message Pastor Jeremy Lundmark puts the Resurrection on Trial. Did Jesus really rise from the dead, or did His fanatical followers steal his body and tell the world “He is Risen”?
