[I am sitting here in my living room, waiting for President Obama to speak and formally announce that Osama bin Laden has been killed. Like the rest of the country, this whole thing is a flashback to that horrible day nine and a half years ago. Here is the sermon from the prayer service we [...]

““But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.” (Luke 6:26 ESV) We have spoken mostly about how to pray, as well as praying in different contexts or groups (alone, in your marriage, in family, etc.). [...]

Prayer isn’t something that just comes naturally. Prayer must be taught. Our Lord Himself demonstrates this when He teaches the disciples how to pray. He says,“Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name…” (Matthew 6:9 ESV) We know that God both hears and answers our prayers. We know that it is [...]

Kathryn and I were able to have a [...]

By Pastor Todd A. Peperkorn I get this question often. Someone will come up to me and say something along the lines of, “I’m not sure if this is serious enough for you to pray for, but if you wouldn’t mind, would you put so-and-so on the prayer list?” We Lutherans are very stingy about [...]
Psalm Thirty-Two: Hiding from God or hiding in God?
February 26, 2010
No comments
Here is a link to my interview on Psalm 32. In this interview we really talked about the notion of hiding from God versus hiding in God. Adam and Eve hid from God in the garden. They tried to cover up their own sins. But by hiding in God, God then is the one who [...]
