The Word of Life Podcast

What has Jesus been saying to you? And what are we doing? Listening to Jesus is hearing and doing, it's practicing. "Practicing is about us finding out what happens when we put the teachings of Jesus into play in the real world." We listen to Jesus by listening to His Word and practicing. Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on April 23, 2023, Pastor Jason Lan...

How has Jesus been messing with you lately? No, really, do you ever feel like Jesus is messing with your life in a good way? Is Jesus leading you into some new opportunities or making you uncomfortable? Jesus does that with us because He has a mission of salvation for all people and Good News! God wants to use you, the time is now, and the message is: repent and believe. Are you ready to join Jesu...

We go to the tomb and stick our heads in to take a look around but Jesus isn’t there. Jesus is ALIVE! A couple angels are there to tell the ladies and rolls the stone away so they can see Jesus isn’t here. They remember and tell everyone who will listen that Jesus is ALIVE! Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on April 9, 2023, Pastor Jason Lang preaching.

Jesus gave his life for us. Tonight we gather to confess our faith in Jesus and thank Him for taking our sins and dying in our place so we may be forgiven. We remember His sacrifice for us, we nail our sins to the cross and praise our crucified Savior. Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on Friday, April 7, 2023, Pastor Jason Lang preaching.

We are happy to welcome Pastor Paul Larson who serves as the president of the Church of the Lutheran Brethren. He will be bringing our Palm Sunday message. The whole road to Jerusalem was filled with people shouting praise to God and crying out for a king and right there is the middle is Jesus, riding a donkey. People are asking, "Who is this guy?" and people are still asking the same th...

Repentance means a turn from sin toward the Righteous One who takes away our sin. And God is patiently waiting, calling, and looking for us. God wants us all to reach repentance, so he waits for us to turn! Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on March 26, 2023, Pastor Jason Lang preaching

Jesus gives us a view of 2 people talk to God. One person is trying to justify himself and tell God how good he is. The other person stands in the back crying out to God in repentance, “God be merciful to me, a sinner.” That’s the prayer of repentance we pray today. Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on March 19, 2023, Pastor Nick Olson preaching.

Do you ever feel lost? We loose stuff, we had our keys or our sanity here somewhere, but now I can’t find it. We get lost, and that’s good news for us because Jesus receives lost people like us. Repentance calls us home.  Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on March 12, 2023, Pastor Jason Lang preaching.

We hear John crying out to a bunch of people in the wild and life gets pretty rough out there. People just like us, life doesn’t go as planned for us either. We hear God speaking through John saying “turn around and receive forgiveness of sins” God is promising forgiveness to the baptized believers and that gives birth to repentance. Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on...

Repentance is when we turn to God, it’s that point in life when we know we have messed up and we have no idea what to do next. When we hear God, when we know we can’t fix ourselves, that’s when we turn to God and say, “Now what do I do?” and we hear God calling us to Himself.  Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on February 26, 2023, Pastor Jason Lang preaching.

God is teaching us about faithfulness through some women in scripture, women to whom God has been faithful to. This week Jesus has dinner at Martha's house and Jesus delivers the good stuff and he won't take it away from Mary who sits at His feet while Martha does all the work. Jesus gives the good stuff to us too, sit back and receive it.  Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Mi...

Today we are starting a new message series called "Faithful". Over the next few weeks we will be taking a closer look at some faithful women in the Bible, hearing from God's Word how He develops faithfulness in all of us. Today we meet Deborah and Jael and we see God rescue His people. And it's my hope that as we hear God's Word that He will grow us as faithful followers of the Lord.  Recorde...

Today we are looking back at some of the blessings of 2022 and looking forward where God is leading us in 2023. You have invited and welcomed so many people to join Word of Life this year. You have given your time, donations, and service generously. And you have been telling friends and neighbors about Jesus changing our lives. It reminds me of this time Jesus was talking with a woman and she told...

I’m sorry, if you thought last week’s message was hard, this might be harder. Love one another as Christ has loved you. And if you think loving is easier than forgiving, you might not realize what God’s love looks like. Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on January 22, 2023, Pastor Nick Olson preaching.

It doesn't matter who your relationship is with, husband, wife, parents, friends, girlfriend, brother, someone you work with, or go to school with - we need to forgive on another. And you're right, I don't know what they did to you, but we need to forgive as God has forgiven us. Yep, today we are talking about Forgiveness. You are forgiven and you get to forgive everyone who sins against you too.&...

Pastor J is starting a new series called "What Do You Expect?" We will be talking about relationships for the next few weeks. Today we will focus on our need to apologize (confess & forgive). In the very first human relationship they sinned and their eyes were opened. God calls out to Adam and Eve after they sin and they are hiding, naked, and ashamed. And God calls out to us too. Recorded liv...

Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on January 1, 2023, Pastor Nick Olson preaching.  

Sometimes I think Christmas is for children. We talk about the birth of Jesus and celebrate with presents. Kids love presents. But the birth of CHRIST wasn’t the beginning of Jesus. He is and always has been the Son of God eternal, and everyone who receives Him, who believes in Him, is made a child of God. So yeah, I guess CHRISTmas is for all of us children of God.  Recorded live at Word of...

What are you afraid of? Beyond the fear of spiders or things that go bump in the night, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid of doing it wrong, of what everyone will think or say when they hear what you did? That’s what Joseph was afraid of. But God said, “Do not fear.” Do not fear marrying Mary. The baby is God’s Son and you will name Him Jesus, for he will save people from their sins. That bab...

Advent is all about the coming of Christ Jesus. So why are we talking about the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem? Isn’t that a Palm Sunday story? From Christmas to Good Friday, Jesus shows His LOVE for us. Jesus is the Savior we need, even if we didn’t expect a Savior who died for us. And Jesus is coming back again for us too. God sent His one and only Son to be the Savior of the world because He LOV...
