We continue to look at our Mission Statement at Community Lutheran Church. We believe in Radical Grace for all. Jesus tells a story about radical grace that I am sure upset people when he told it. The characters in the story were angry too about God's grace!

This podcast begins with a song for a reason. We begin a new sermon series on what makes Community Lutheran Church tick. We begin with "us". We strive to be real and never fake.

What is the spiritual inheritance that Jesus leaves us in his death and resurrection? Listen in and find out! Happy Easter!

More than a remembrance of a moment in history, Jesus dies to forgive our sins. If you ever wondered about what Jesus accomplished by his death, listen in.

We conclude the sermon series about the the things Jesus brings to our lives. We saved the best for last... salvation. Listen in and find out why this is the most important thing Jesus brought to us.

We continue our series on what Jesus brings to our lives including a constant connection to bring us miracle power to our lives.

If we trust Jesus with our eternity, how come we struggle to trust Jesus with our tomorrows? Jesus brings direction to our lives and he even teaches us how trust him with our future.

There are many things that Jesus gives his people. In the sermon series "Jesus Brings" we will discover some of those gifts. In this message, we will see how Jesus brings fulfillment to all who look.

As we enter the season of reflection (Lent) we take a moment to humble ourselves and empty ourselves of pride. King Uzziah and Zaccheaus show us the difference between these two polar opposites.

The story of Balaam and his talking donkey helps us understand the importance of our words. Words have the power to heal and to hurt. We are challenged to watch what we say and even bite our tongue.

We conclude our sermon series on change. In this message Pastor Ben explores transformational change or the change within. Step one is to change your social surroundings.

Change is all around. What happens when there is societal change? We embrace God's view of justice and not our own. We remember the lasting legacy and work of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the change he brought.

As we begin 2024, let's talk about change. For the next month, we will look at different types of change in our lives. In this episode, Pastor Ben looks at the uninvited change in our lives.

We close 2023 with one more set of characters from the Christmas story: The Wisemen. They could have chosen to avoid Herod or even Jesus but they pushed forward to meet the King of Kings. Listen in and hear how avoidance can hurt you.

Merry Christmas! Open your heart for Jesus and receive unimaginable love. Sometimes we need to stop and let Jesus in and him handle the rest!โดย Ben Bergren

Shame might be the third most power emotion after love and grief. Shame can paralyze you. Not for a moment, but it can affect your entire life. Zechariah walks with shame and see how God sets him free and how you can be free too.

What happens when we choose wonder over worry? Wondrous things! Today we hear about two types of worry from Mary and Joseph and with God's help, they choose wonder!โดย Ben Bergren

We conclude the sermon series "I Surrender" with a message about how we surrender ourselves to the King and not just parts of our lives.โดย Ben Bergren

We continue our sermon series on surrendering our lives to Jesus. What about our future? Can we surrender our future to God even before it happens? Yes!โดย Ben Bergren

We start a new sermon series on surrendering our lives. We begin with why surrendering is so hard to do and then work towards surrendering our troubles first.โดย Ben Bergren

We conclude our sermon series on our core values at Community Lutheran Church. Generosity is the last step in spiritual growth for a reason. Listen in and find out why.โดย Ben Bergren

We continue in our annual sermon series on our core values at Community Lutheran Church. In this message you hear about the importance of learning and why every Christian can grow in faith when they engage in learning.โดย Ben Bergren

We are returning to our core values at CLC in this series. But these values can help everyone grow closer to Jesus. Welcome is tied to worship. Listen in and find out why.

We finish this short sermon series on Paul’s letter to the church in Philippi. Yes, this is still about joy but the promise of peace when we pray! Also, there is a special song by Elisa Fiorillo at the end!โดย Ben Bergren

We jump into the book of Philippians where Paul reminds us to be joyful! In chapter three, we hear that joy comes when we make Jesus our #1 priority.

We conclude our sermon series on the book of Nehemiah. We discover the final points we need to make a change in our lives. There is a song at the end for everyone trying to change something in their lives.

Nehemiah helps the people rebuilding the wall. He sees the importance of caring for the people as much as completing the task.

We take a look at the next steps in making a change in your life by diving into Nehemiah chapter 2 of his story. We hear that waiting, making lists and evaluating are good before we make a major change!โดย Ben Bergren

We begin a new sermon series on the book of Nehemiah. This story is a blueprint on how to move forward in life. The journey begins with prayer.

In this message we go back to 1965 and hear a hit song that was the unofficial anthem of the civil rights movement. The same themes are important for us in 2023.
