In today's service, we see how God takes people whose lives have been trashed by sin and turns them into his priceless treasure. Sermon based on Luke 20:9-19.

The word prodigal means "recklessly extravagant". In today's worship, we meditate on a parable of Jesus from Luke 15 that displays the infinite depth of our Father's reckless love.

It's easy to be overwhelmed by the challenges and hardships we face in our lives. In the Bible, people like Moses actually felt the same way. But God is always faithful to his people. He keeps his promises, and loves them forever. Today's message is based on Exodus 3:1-15.

"When the going gets tough, the tough get going." We see that attitude on display in our lesson today as Jesus doesn't shy away from difficult things. Rather, he is determined to do whatever it takes to accomplish his goal. And his goal, is to gather each and everyone of us under his care. Light of the Valleys Lutheran Church invites you to listen to this message by Pastor Joel Heckendorf. Message is based on Luke 13:31-35.

On the First Sunday in Lent, we hear how Christ fights against temptation for his people, and wins every time. A message on Luke 4:1-13.

"How could you do such a thing?" Ever have that said to you. Ever think that about something you regret doing. The season of Lent leads us to contemplate the seriousness of our sin. But even more so, it leads us to consider what Jesus has done for us so that we know, "The Lord has taken away our sin." Message based on 2 Samuel 12:1-13.

What makes a person blessed? Most people would probably list things like good health, financial stability, or a fulfilling career. But when Jesus preaches to his followers, he explains that true blessings come to us in a way that is completely different -- and totally unexpected. Today's mediation is based on Luke 6:17-26.

*Due to technical difficulties, the sermon was re-recorded after the service.*

"That's Enough!" Sometimes we say those words as a complaint or out of desperation. Today, we are reminded that we are recipients of God's grace and "that is enough." His grace is sufficient for any challenge we're going through. Message based on 2 Corinthians 12:7b-10.

Nobody likes being rejected. Rejection can hurt, especially when it's from those close to you. When it comes to proclaiming the good news about Jesus, there will be rejection. Not everyone will listen, even those close to you. But God is greater than human rejection. Rejection is not proof of failure.

God's Word clearly teaches that only those who believe in Jesus will go to heaven. How do people hear about Jesus in the first place? It's obvious: through someone telling them! But God doesn't only use pastors to spread the good news: he uses you, too.
