What would it be like to see God with your own eyes? We’re told in the Bible, that as sinful people, we cannot look upon the face of the holy God and live. But we are given several instances in the Bible of God showing off a tiny bit of his glory. This is aptly called the glory of God. Starting this weekend, we will look at five instances of God showing us a tiny glimpse of who he is. Be sure to join us as we get a glimpse at the face of God. Sermon is from Exodus 3:1-15

What would it be like to see God with your own eyes? We’re told in the  Bible, that as sinful people, we cannot look upon the face of the holy  God and live. But we are given several instances in the Bible of God  showing off a tiny bit of his glory. This is aptly called the glory of  God. Starting this weekend, we will look at five instances of God  showing us a tiny glimpse of who he is. Be sure to join us as we get a  glimpse at the face of God.

"Where are you?" Would you be afraid if God asked you that question?  Listen to Pastor Rieke's sermon about the first time God asked that  question to Adam and Eve. Pastor Rieke reminds us how our sinful nature  wants to hide from God, but because of God's promise, we no longer need  to be afraid. Sermon is based on Genesis 3:8-15.

We all know the value of a good night's rest. But what about a good  spiritual rest? In some of Moses' final words to the Israelites, he  reminds them of the rest they have as they gather among God's people  around his Word. That same rest is ours when we come to worship. This  sermon is taken from Deuteronomy 5:12-15.

How many times do we see the Trinity in our worship services? It's quite  frequently.  The reason for that is important. The better we know God,  the better we can share God. One of God's characteristics that is clear  throughout the Bible is his holiness. Listen to Pastor Rieke share what  God's holiness means for us. This sermon is taken from Isaiah 6:1-8.

On the day we celebrate Pentecost, we turn to the book of Ezekiel to see  what Pentecost was all about - bringing life from death. Ezekiel's trip  through a valley of dry bones is a good reminder of what we all are by  nature, and what God can do - bring to life what was dead. Sermon is  taken from Ezekiel 37:1-14.

When was the last time you walked into church and thought: "Wow, I'm in a  powerful place, with powerful people, doing powerful things?" But  that's exactly what the church is - because of Jesus & his  ascension. Listen to Pastor Rieke talk about the unfathomable power of  Jesus, and as a result also of his church.

There are many definitions of love in this world. There are many  different places people look for love. But there is only one genuine  love. John tells us "God Is Love." Listen to Pastor Rieke explain what  it means to know all you need is love. Sermon is taken from 1 John  4.13-21.

We continue our series in 1 John and are reminded that God is greater.  God is greater than our sins, than our problems, than our worries, than our feelings. God is greater than all of these, because his love is greater. If you have been blessed by this ministry, please consider giving an offering through our website: paloslutheran.org/online-giving.

The 4th Sunday of Easter is typically called Good Shepherd Sunday, where  we remember not only our need for a Good Shepherd, but also how Jesus  fulfills that need. Today, Pastor Terry Schultz fills in for Pastor  Rieke and reminds us of the Good Shepherd's love with the retelling of  the Parable of the Prodigal (or Lost) Son.
