Sermon 2025

JESUS REBUKES THE WINDS!   I will start with the story that is written in Matthew 8:23-28, Mark 4:35-41 and Luke 8:22-26. Jesus was in a boat together with his disciples. He was lying down on a pillow, and He was asleep when a terrible storm came and covered the boat. The disciples thought that they were perishing and they woke Jesus up from His sleep, saying: “Lord, save us, we are perishing.” Jesus answered them by saying: “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith? Then He arose ... (read more)

PURE AND RIGHTEOUS, WORTHY FOR HEAVEN.   I have been writing on my website for many years, and I might write about the same theme many times also. How many times haven’t we read the same things in the Bible? There are times when we read it as it was the first time. We might start with 1.John 5:18. It says that whoever is born of God does not sin, but how do you translate 1. John 1:9 then? There it says that if you sin, you shall confess your sins and He who is faithful and just will ...

WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT FOR SOME TO SAY NO? Part 2 Last time I wrote mainly about the things that had to do with the sexual area. Many are agreeing to participate in fear for rejection, but that fear can be active in many other areas as well. I heard about an auditor who couldn’t continue to attend church because she worked with the economy of many members of the church. These were standing on Sunday praising God with lifted arms, but on Monday they wanted her to write wrong numbers on the ... (read more)

NONE OF US NEED TO BE A VICTIM FOR THE DEVIL.   I will continue with the same theme as last time. We should resist the devil. I wrote last time also that we didn’t need to be a victim for the devil. Many Christians are living under a cloak of being a victim. They look like slaves instead of daughters and sons to the King of kings. Do you remember the story of Bartimaeus in Mark 10:46 and to the end of the chapter? Bartimaeus sat by the road begging, but when he heard that Jesus was ... (read more)

MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL THE NATIONS!   These words are from what we call the Great Commission in Matthew 28:17. Jesus had a meeting with His 11 disciples in Galilee. Jesus came and spoke to them, saying: “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you and lo, I am with you always, even to ...

JESUS BROKE THE POWER OF DEATH.   When this is coming out, we are in the middle of Easter week. In Norway many start their vacation already on the 11th of April and many do not return to work before the 22nd of April. Every year there is a discussion since most people want to take off while some have to stay at work Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday during Easter week. I live in Sweden, and we do not keep Maundy Thursday as a holy day, but Norway does. We can every day read a story from the ... (read more)

TIME OF FASTING.   40 days before Easter is in many countries called a time of Lent. When one is fasting, one avoids eating or doing something one loves. The purpose is to get something that is better. The fasting time before Easter is often a time when one remembers what Jesus suffered and His resurrection. Both Christians and other religions are fasting. There are many different ways of fasting. Some avoid all eating. A few are also avoiding fluid. Others are entering into a Daniel fast. ... (read more)
