This is the Thursday night service with all the men at FLY 2013, the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations Youth Convention, held every two years in Estes Park, CO. My wife Amy and I were grateful to both be asked to speak this year. Amy spoke to the girls in the Assembly Hall, and I was with the guys in the Longhouse. This is my message to the guys on July 4, 2013.
The theme of the convention was “Broken,” taken from Isaiah 53. The text we focused on for the evening was Isaiah 53: 10-12.
March 7, 2010.Living Hope Church in St. Michael-Albertville, MN. This is part one of a two-part series exploring the character and nature of God. The Bible tells us both to FEAR God and “do not be afraid.” The Bible describes God as a Righteous Judge, holy, dangerous, and unapproachable… And He invites us to call Him “Daddy.” A loving, caring God who knows us intimately.
How can this be?
Part one focuses primarily on the JUSTICE of God, and what it means to fear the Lord.
Video also includes response song at the end of the message: “The Wonderful Cross” arr. by Chris Tomlin.
