Prairie Lakes Church Sermons: Recent Episodes
Prairie Lakes Church
Our mission is to cover Iowa with churches where it doesn’t matter who you are, where you’ve been, what you’ve done or what’s been done to you, God loves you, and you can look for God here. You’ll be welcomed into a friendly, casual environment by people who are excited to see you!
Ever wonder what PLC has to say about some of the most pressing issues you and the people in your Little Iowa are asking about? Stuff like human suffering, global warming, anxiety, poverty, why following Jesus and attending church are important. In this four-week series, we'll tackle a variety of topics, the church's answers, and how you can respond to those in your circle when they ask hard questions about the world and God's role in it.
Lent is the six-week period leading up to Easter. Originally a preparation period for those desiring to be baptized, it eventually became embedded into Christian tradition as a season for the Church to symbolically follow Christ into the wilderness. It's a time for fasting, self-denial and emptying ourselves of lesser things so we might be filled with the greater things of the Gospel. We'll narrow our focus to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, turn from our sin and trust in His atoning work.

In your life, what's worth the risk? Maybe it's an investment that could pay off big. Maybe it's quitting your job and going back to school. What about in God's Kingdom? In this series, we'll explore how God is calling us to use our influence to spread the Gospel and make disciples of all nations.

We're all being formed by something. According to Barna's Connected Generation Report, 59% of Millennials and Gen Zers are anxious, and only one third feel cared for by the people around them. Barna also found this age of anxiety, worry and fear is tied to increased social media use and screen time. In this three-week series, we'll examine how our tech affects our thoughts, actions and reactions and go to the Bible to develop healthy mindsets and habits to focus ourselves on the life-giving love and wisdom of God.

Jesus sometimes describes us as “sheep,” and not in a very flattering way: like sheep, we’ve got a tendency to wander off… sometimes to some pretty dark and lonely places.
As we kick off 2022, we’ll take a look at how we might “wander less” in the New Year.
The Christmas story begins with the angel Gabriel appearing to Mary saying, "Greetings, you who are highly favored!" Now, Mary had done nothing to warrant God's favor. She wasn't wealthy or important by earthly standards, but God honored her with the privilege of becoming Jesus' mother because He's God, and He's good. What does this mean for us today? God still bestows His favor on His people, and when our hearts are filled with this knowledge, we want to share it with a world that desperately needs to know there's a God who loves them and is FOR them.

In the book of Ephesians, Paul writes, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." But what is "grace"? As we head toward the holiday season, we're spending two weeks exploring what grace is and isn't and how God's grace changes everything.

If Jesus was serious, then why don't we take him more seriously? Compare Jesus' teaching with a quick survey of how Christians live, and one thing becomes apparent: we often ignore much of what He said. This series takes a look at some of Jesus’ most demanding teachings in the Sermon on the Mount and pushes us to ask whether we’re really hearing what Christ is saying.

Many of us began attending because we needed something from the church. But as we continue, we get the privilege of actually being the church for others as God moves us into lives of service and impact. In this four-week series, we'll see what the Bible and Jesus have to say about the ultimate purpose of the church in our lives.

In the book of Exodus when God is first teaching the Israelites how to live as His people, He gives them this commandment: "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy." God wanted them to take a break for a full 24 hours each week. No work; just rest. But what about us? In our increasingly fast-paced world, is this even realistic? In our three-week series, we'll learn how incorporating Sabbath pulls us back to God and gives the gift of an unhurried life.

Summer is a season of different rhythms and time away from normal routines. It often includes vacations, spending time at the lakehouse or camping on the weekends. While you're away, embrace the opportunity to connect with God in unique ways. In our four-week series, we'll learn ways to use this season and its relaxed pace to celebrate, reflect, look ahead and restart.

Our mission is to launch No Matter churches across Iowa so everyone in our state knows that no matter who they are, where they've been, what they've done or what's been done to them, God loves them, and they can look for Him at PLC. But, we’re not going to reach Iowa with big events and programs. The primary way we’ll transform Big Iowa for Jesus is by letting our Little Iowas see Him at work in us. In this super-practical four-week series, we'll show you how to invest in the people in your circle and help them take a next step in their faith journey.

On Memorial Day we honor those who died in active military service to our country. It's a day to grieve those we've lost, look back on the good times and reflect on how we've grown through tough experiences. Join us this weekend as we learn intentional ways God's given us to recall not only what happened but how He’s been faithful. We’ll learn to remember with hope.
We've all been there––calmly walking through life until BAM! Something unexpected sets off an overly emotional response in us. When we're triggered, we sometimes give ourselves permission to react in an unhealthy manner. In this series, we'll explore some of the ways we tend to respond poorly and look at Jesus, who when faced with the same circumstances, handled them better.

The last week of Jesus’ life was filled with turmoil - the death of a friend, betrayal, unfaithfulness and ended with His death on a cross.

Join us for this four-week series leading up to Easter.

From those of us who have walked through brutal seasons of pain to those who struggle with the reality of this world, we all long for REDEMPTION. We want good to come from bad and to know God’s always in control, even when circumstances look bleak. Ruth is a short Old Testament book that recounts the story of Ruth, her mother-in-law Naomi and their relative Boaz. God worked in seemingly small and insignificant details in their lives to create the family who would produce King David and ultimately Jesus.

Anxiety is pervasive in our world today. Whether it’s something we did, something that was done to us or just life in general, all of us have things we tend to be anxious or worry about. Paul reminds us in Philippians to “not be anxious about anything…” Hearing that may frustrate you as you find yourself with these feelings, but this doesn’t make you less of a Christian. God created us as spiritual and physical beings, and it’s a normal part of the human experience to wrestle with these. In this three-week series, we’ll destigmatize anxiety and learn how to manage it in ourselves and others and see how we can grow through these seasons.

It’s the last weekend of 2020, and from the pandemic to racial tensions to the election, this has been a crazy year. But, in the midst of everything, God did some amazing things - you’re alive in Christ, He’s still on the throne, He’s still finding and saving people.
It takes nine months for a baby to fully develop and enter the world, and for new parents, that time is often filled with uncertainty, discomfort and anxiety. Since COVID-19 hit nine months ago, we too have experienced much of the same: worries about health and jobs, unmet expectations of what we thought this year would be, lack of connection with loved ones and illness. BUT, through the Christmas story, God reminds us He is Immanuel – God with us! He’s in our stories, walks alongside us in our struggles and offers hope in the midst of darkness.

Everyone agrees 2020 has been a tough year, and it’s been tempting to put on our blinders and just survive. However, hard seasons are wonderful opportunities to grow as people and in our faith, but we have to PAY ATTENTION. Asking, “What’s God doing inside me and in those around me?” helps us remove the blinders, take a good look at how we’re acting and reacting to the world around us and figure out how to do both better.

Election years are crazy! Red vs. blue, rich vs. poor, liberal vs. conservative. Candidates dig up dirt on their opponents and throw it around on TV and social media, hoping to swing our votes their way. Figuring out what’s true and right for our country is tricky at best and paralyzing at worst. With this series, we’ll look at topics surrounding the 2020 election through a biblical lens and navigate a crazy year together as Jesus followers.

The book of Romans was written by the apostle Paul to Christians in the city of Rome essentially as a missionary fundraising letter. He was planning a trip to Spain to spread the Gospel and needed their financial and spiritual support. Romans is lengthy and full of theology (what we believe), so we’re going to focus on six concepts foundational to our faith: where we start (sin), what God did (justification), what happens as a result (sanctification) and our new reality (hope and life in community by serving and loving others).

The new normal created by COVID-19 has led to many changes in our lives, but the one thing it shouldn’t do is hinder the growth of our faith. HOW we grow and take next steps may change but what doesn’t is WHY. As we head into fall, we’re spending four weeks exploring our Next Steps of Attend, Connect, Give and Serve and why they’re important in the lives of Jesus followers.

In Luke 11, Jesus’ disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray, and He gave them what we now refer to as the Lord’s Prayer. This framework for how to talk to God reminds us prayer’s primary purpose is to align our hearts with God’s. We’ll spend three weeks diving into Jesus’ teaching on prayer and what it means for our lives today.

How long has it been since you’ve read an entire book? Some of us probably finished one yesterday and dove right into another, while others haven’t read one since middle school! What if we said you could read four whole books of the Bible in a month, and it’d take less than 15 minutes a week? We’ll spend the month of July exploring Jude, 2 John, Haggai and Jonah.
