Abiding Shepherd

words I’m sure you have heard all the clichés: “you have two ears and one mouth, think before you speak, open mouth and insert foot here”, etc. Why are there so many sayings about the words that come out of our mouths? This weekend we study a close companion to the nagging question we tackled last weekend, however this week we focus more on how we say something rather than what it is we say as we...

 Sin, Them, and Me Dealing with our own sin is challenging enough, but what about when someone I care about sins. Do I say something or do I just mind my own business? This weekend we’ll dig into this challenging Nagging Question as we study Galatians 6:1-2. 10.4.20 Message from Cottage Grove Pastor Nate Abrahamson

Faith Check-up How’s your faith these days? Sometimes our faith can seem big. Other times it seems small. Sometimes our faith feels weak and other times it feels strong. This weekend, we’ll dig into what makes for powerful faith by studying Matthew 17:19-20. 9.27.20 Message from Fort Atkinson Pastor Nate Abrahamson

I just don’t see it! We’ve all heard it…. We’ve probably all even said it…. “God has a plan.” But let’s be honest, sometimes it can be awfully hard to see how everything that is happening can be part of God’s good plan. So this weekend let’s clear up some confusion with a study of Jeremiah 29:11. 9.20.20 Message from Fort Atkinson Pastor Nate Abrahamson

Pastor Klebig leads us through a message of hope as we can be confident that God DOES have a plan for us as we go through our "Babylons".   Recorded 9.20.2020 at ASLC-CG Campus

Dream Big! Really! There are some pretty big claims in God's Word - that anything is possible for those who believe and that if we ask anything according to His will, He'll do it. These claims seem so big that sometimes they're hard to believe. So this weekend let's embrace the power of God with a study of Ephesians 3:20-21. 9.13.20 Message from Fort Atkinson Pastor Krause

❓ What Now? - ✝️ Ever have one of those days when everything seems to go wrong? What if one of those days turns into one of those weeks, or months, or even years? - ✝️ Because we live in a sinful world we will always have troubles in this life. But what are we to do when it seems as if we face one crisis after another? This weekend we seek the answer to the next nagging question as presented to u...

"God, What’s Going On?" "I Don’t Get It!" Sometimes our world is turned upside down and nothing seems right. Sometimes we can’t see how God is doing anything good and can’t make any sense of how God works.  For those times, we have Job 42:1-6. 8.30.20 Message from Fort Atkinson Pastor Nathan Krause

Dirty Birds. ✝️ Growing up I [Pastor Krause] was taught that sparrows were “dirty birds”. They got that nickname because they don’t seem to have any redeeming value and when they finally fly away they leave a mess behind. - ✝️ But God sees the sparrows differently. In fact, this weekend’s lesson teaches us they are a measuring device for our own worth. Together we discover our value to God as we p...

👂Hearing Check ✝️I’m pretty sure by now most of you know I [Pastor Krause] am just a bit hard of hearing (that’s why I ask you to repeat things when we are at worship). ✝️You can deal with a pastor who is hard of hearing, but what if it seems like God has that same problem? This week we forge on to our next nagging question having to do with God’s response to our conversations with Him. Message f...

✝️Ouch! ✝️When life is good and all goes as we want, do we question God? Usually we don’t. Often, it is not until we find ourselves struggling, even suffering, that we wonder if God is doing His job? ✝️This weekend we look at the opening verses of John chapter 11 to see if we can find any good in our moments of suffering.

✝️Feeling small? ✝️ Worship! ✝️When we’re reminded of just how big the world is, we can start to feel pretty small. That’s why this weekend we’ll study Psalm 8:3-6 and ask a pretty important question.... ❓ "Why Would He Care?" Message from Fort Atkinson 8.2.20 Pastor Nate Abrahamson

Feel Like Giving Up? Sometimes we feel like giving up, like there’s no hope for improvement. For every one of those times, we have the message of Jeremiah 32:27 that we’ll be studying this weekend. Message from 7.26.20 in Cottage Grove Pastor Krause

The world is dying, and Christians have been charged with taking the message of a Savior to that dying world. The challenges of being “in the world but not of it” can genuinely test a believer’s faith, and can present a frightening time in the life of a Christian. What happens when we question our faith? For our place and God’s role in this question, we’ll be looking at Jude 22-23 and asking, “Wha...

Good or Bad? Is religion part of the problem? There probably aren’t many words today that carry more baggage than the word “religion.” Some are proud of their religion. But some talk about having a relationship rather than a religion. Others say they are spiritual, not religious. Still others see religion as an archaic evil that needs to be done away with. Where should we be on the religion opinio...
