Keep the Main Thing

In April 1988 Pastor Evenson’s parish, Vision of Glory Lutheran Church was faced with the decision of building an addition to their church facility. Pastor Lee spent that Sunday teaching them the best way to make this type of important decision. And it is 100% applicable in each and everyone’s life, no matter what the circumstance.

Who’s in charge here?” A sermon behind it on who is really in charge of our lives. We hope this sermon has you thinking about who really is in charge. And perhaps who should be in charge. We are going to bet that every time you see a thermostat you may be reminded of this message after listening to it.

Our first sermon in 2024 continues Pastor Lee’s lesson on Second Corinthians. In this message, Pastor Lee is teaching from the sixth chapter in second Corinthians. The title is “Blanket Coverage”.

This is a wonderful message on faith. A great reminder of how God’s grace not only has opened the doors to heaven for us. It is available to us today. Today, every day. Here is Blanket Coverage by Pastor Leland Evenson. First given on March 13, 1988.

This was a great lesson that faith works. It truly works.

Encouraging us not to be stumbling blocks, but rather steppingstones. God’s grace provides us with blanket coverage. To get us through anywhere anything any time.

Are you homesick? Homesick for heaven? Podcast number 22 is titled homesick for heaven. Pastor Leland Evenson is continuing his study in the book of Second Corinthians. It was communion Sunday at Vision of Glory, the church he was pastoring. Pastor Lee effectively uses the communion sacrament as a basis for his talk, Homesick for Heaven.

A sermon from Pastor Lee Evenson from Sunday February 21, 1988. Another message from Pastor Lee using II Corinthians 4: 1-12 as his basis for the sermon. Pastor Lee was teaching a class on II Cor. at North Heights Lutheran Church, the winter of 1988.

The title for today’s message is “Is Your Heart in it?” In II Corinthians Chapter 4, versus 1-12, Paul gives us clues why he did not lose heart in spite of all he faced while spreading the gospel. Pastor Lee describes the aspects of our heart that creates the right type of heart – allowing us to never lose heart.

Podcast number 20 is a sermon that Pastor Lee gave on January 24, 1988. He was in the middle of teaching a class on Second Corinthians at North Heights Church in Arden Hills.

In his sermon, Stand Firm, Pastor Lee uses Second Corinthians 1:3-7, 8-11, and verse 18; emphasizing how Paul experienced trouble not as a punishment for something he had done. But for the preparation for something he was going to do. A quote from Pastor Lee, “Whatever is going on in your life right now, whatever has you feeling like there is no hope – no way out – no future. Remember that’s where God wants you. And that we cannot know the meaning of every event, but we can know that every event is meaningful. So, stand firm!”

This was Pastor Lee’s first sermon in 1988. It was delivered on January 3. Pastor Lee uses the epistle lesson found in Ephesians 1: 3-9. It was an inspirational message for his listeners to move into the new year, back in 1988. It is a message for all of us, any time of the year.
