Rev. Marc Kappel
Is Job about how to suffer righteously for God or how God is righteous above all and offers us redemption!
Is Job about how we are to suffer and trust God? Or is it really about God’s Righteousness and redemption?
The peace we have comes not from knowing or controlling our lives it comes from God who knows us and controls all for us!
How do you know the difference between good and evil, and why should you know the difference?
Why did the disciples change from fretful cowards to legends we name churches after today?
“Woe is me” we cry as Christians, but whom did the reason for all our woe truly fall upon. Ultimately it WAS NOT us! So who was it?
What is the sum total of your life? Will anyone related to you even care 4 or five generations from now? Jesus cares and showed it by showing us where and how we will be forever with +Him.
Peter and John confront evil in all its forms showing just how evil was defeated in one name!
The why and how of church is exemplified in the Acts of the Apostles and easily related to why we do church today and how we do church as well. In the season of Easter we will reflect on this leading up to Pentecost.
Why are you in church today? Well there is a pretty good reason if you’re not entirely sure.
The world does not understand submission, you may not either, let’s understand it today

Introduction to the midweek theme for penitential reflection leading to the joy of Jesus Resurrection from the dead!
It’s unfortunate these days that people don’t seem to say what they mean and mean what they say. Today I give a few examples of that when it’s harmless and when it can be problematic. It even happens in scripture and when people trust others with what God says. Listen today to see what Jesus says and what that means for you today!!!
Too often we think we know it all until we come across someone who knows better, how humiliating when the most humble of all knows better than we do!
When God tells ya, you should probably do what he says, then when you realize you won’t or can’t then you can see that Jesus does
Wouldn’t you like to be more open to the possibility of great things for you! Find out today who was open to the greatest Man ever!
Some people don’t know Jesus. Some others know about Jesus, or think they do, but don’t care about Jesus. Some really know Jesus, and hate Him for who He is. Seems impossible for all of these to coexist in the same communities, and yet they do managing neighborliness at the same time. So who is Jesus and what does He have to do with Christmas anyway? Many are asking that very question of Christians today.
What is Christmas really about? Joseph shows us first hand and it’s not as unbelievable as the world thinks it is.
The only thing in our text today is the secret God keeps and the Faith that God gives so we can receive it. On this 4th Sunday of Easter it’s time to let that secret loose!
“I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden” a famous country singer once crooned. Nobody should have sold you on life going easy! But if you were misled, the surprise can feel like utter betrayal! Can you just imagine what a perfect divine man would feel like? Especially if they were poor, persecuted, and died the hardest death you could die? Ironically enough Jesus is that God Man who did just that. And he knew exactly what was coming before he did!
“I told you a million times to stop exaggerating!” We laugh at the hypocrisy of that statement but sometimes forget God’s love and patience towards us that is no exaggeration at all! Wait patiently on the Lord who can’t wait to be with you!
Happy New Year, the church New Year that is, and just how it’s revealed in the revelation of Jesus him self
Have you ever done the wrong thing but were having so much fun doing it you hated the person who warned you it was so…very…wrong? Maybe you learned the hard way it was wrong and maybe you even kept your hard feeling towards the messenger. If so this message may be about the Old Testament Prophet Amos but it’s definitely for you!
Truth is true no matter who ushers it in. Little is true in Hollywood, so we do well to seek God’s truth for us in His Word!
Play stupid games win stupid prizes they say, Ezekiel’s Prophecy warns the Judeans and the House of Israel of just this, but history tells us they did not learn their lesson. Listen today to find out what God does when we fail to heed a prophets (Pastors and the like) warnings too!
Duty is ours events God’s. To often we want to suggest to the omnipotent power of the world we understand and know how the events of our lives should go, this could not be more wrong headed as Peter demonstrates in our message today! We know our duty, just do it, and the the events results be determined by God!
How sad is our mourning the loss of a loved one when we don’t actually mourn at all but lie our way to the best benefit of their death for us!

Perceived value and actual value what does the actually mean? What makes us valuable to God and do we value God most of all?

July 4th 1776 we were declared free from rule under Great Britain. But we were not free yet, revolutionary war had to be fought until a treaty was signed in 1783 making independence no longer a declaration but a reality. The truth is no one is truly free until they believe Jesus declaration 2,000 years earlier when he proclaimed liberty for those being held in captivity by Satan and their own sin. Effective the day He died on the cross and made satisfaction for our sins and declaring us saints!
With tough times ahead, we have hope in the one who experienced the toughest time of all and came out of it, to make it better for us!

It’s a solution looking for a problem they say, why do we put the cart before the horse like that in our culture, Jesus certainly knows why and is the solution to our sinful desires to do so.
In a world of spin, obfuscation, and down right misrepresentation, there is a source of revelation that has brought unvarnished truth for over 2000 years, and He is indeed the source of all the good fruit we will ever need.

Why does anyone want absolute power, didn’t Shakespeare say “…absolute power corrupts absolutely”? Something to consider when we see how real power is found in Christ alone
Every one at some point comes to the reality that their life will never be the same, the Sun sets on that era of our life and we begin a new one. God intends it this way so we can always be pushed by the Holy Spirit from being sinners to saints.

Slaves and Slave Masters are in Christ as brothers and Sisters of Christ himself. That can be an uncomfortable reality in today’s moral authority. But Paul shows us, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, his mission of truth in Christ transcends our moral and often misplaced outrage.
Better late than never we look at the importance of focusing on what truly redeems in life rather than be disappointed yet again by where the world is going…well you know the saying!
If you aren’t where you are supposed to be God often helps get back by looking back to go where where we always belonged. No that’s not a direct quote from VP Kamala Harris, it’s God talking to you!
The world brings violence and destruction God provides his holy angels who watch over us sent by God’s Son who is the ultimate entity we can have faith In today.
It’s tough these days to reconcile the world’s values with Christian culture so today our Letter to the Hebrews encourages us in that endeavor and gives us hope beyond all vision.
Your life is not your own. Too often we believe we are in control and self determination and actualization is our mode of operation. God tells us something completely different for true eternal living!
“You might want to know what your walking away from”, could not be more true with our lesson for today. Consider that heartily before you “walk away” from Jesus
It's hard to understand why there is so much hatred in the world when God commands us to to love our neighbor as ourself. Maybe, just maybe, we don't love ourselves as much as God loves us.

An odd festival occasion in the church appears to celebrate the dead or even worship and pray to the saints. But this denies the truth of that cloud of witnesses so prevalent in our spiritual teachings. We neither pray to our lost loved ones nor venerate them. Rather we remember their Faith that led them to heaven with Jesus. Will our faith be remembered? Because of Jesus we can draw comfort that what is remembered is good and what is forgotten was first and foremost forgiven.
