Sun, 27 May 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1269 Since Pentecost the Holy Spirit has enabled Christians to proclaim the good news of God to their own culture. Tim Geisert led us in understanding how to share Christ with our generation. Sun, 20 May 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1268 God calls us to prayer - to be faithful in prayer and not to worry about the 'results'. He promises to answer in His time and in His way. Sun, 13 May 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1267 The ideal mother's sacrifice and commitment to her children is a reflectin of the image of God in her - in her love we see a picture, althoug not perfect, of Jesus' love for us. Sun, 6 May 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1266 God has blessed us so richly in Jesus, and has given us our finances to manage to bless Him and further His kingdom. We love Him becuase He first loved us. Sun, 29 Apr 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1206 Jesus lives and restores our lives - three people new to Room211 shared their stories of how Jesus has worked and continues to work in their lives through the Word of God. Sun, 22 Apr 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1205 Christ is Risen! And we see the effects of His work in our lives and the lives of those around us. This morning we were encouraged as three shared about Jesus' work in their lives. Sun, 15 Apr 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1204 Christ is Risen! We celebrate that truth in the lives of various band members this morning, and are encouraged to trust the Risen Lord Jesus to also work in our lives. Sun, 8 Apr 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1203 At the death of one of God's saints, we dare not react like the demons do ... full of anger and despair. We grieve but have hope, for Christ is Risen ... and one more is safe with Jesus. Sun, 1 Apr 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1201 Chaplain Bo from Concordia shared with us about Palm Sunday and Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem. Sun, 25 Mar 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1200 The demons tempt us to abhor the Same Old Thing. Our quest for infinite change leads to destruction. The Same Old Thing, the old old story of Jesus and His love, saves! Sun, 18 Mar 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1199 By living as if we are the owners of everything we have, we are led to frustration, anger and bitterness. God is the Owner of all things, including our lives, which He bought with a very high price. Sun, 11 Mar 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1198 Demons find a great playground within worship itself ... and yet gathering with other Christians is precisely where Christians need to be. Sun, 4 Mar 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1197 Satan and his demons prowl around seeking whom they may devour ... but the One who is in us is greater than that one who is in the world. Sun, 25 Feb 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1196 I am a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior. Words of John Newton ... words for Lent. God's grace is Amazing. Sun, 18 Feb 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1194 God's love for us in Jesus never fails ... and Jesus living in us empowers us to love as He has first loved us. Sun, 11 Feb 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1193 Jesus has come to heal our blindness, to give us new life that only He, God in the flesh, can give. Sun, 4 Feb 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1192 The feeding of the 5000! An awesome miracle ... that was a sign for those who saw it - a sign that Jesus can even more abundantly provide for our eternal needs. Sun, 21 Jan 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1190 Jesus called His disciples, and calls us, to a new life of forgiveness and following Him ... which includes laying down our life as He gave His life for us. Sun, 14 Jan 2007 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1186 Sun, 24 Dec 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1178 Rudy the Red is an Ode to Misfits. God chooses misfits like us, and empowers us with His Holy Spirit, so that He might do great things even through the poor and the lowly. Sun, 10 Dec 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1183 Advent calls us to prepare ... for God is telling the Greatest Story Ever Told ... and the story ends with salvation for you! But that salvation comes at a huge price ... the death of the Savior. Sun, 3 Dec 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1182 Pastor Schnake preached this morning about God's work in very small ways and places during his recent trip to Kyrgyzstan ... and encouraged us to appreciate even the small things that God does among us every day. Sun, 26 Nov 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1166 During His earthly ministry, Jesus bound Satan so that he could not longer deceive the nations. Billions of Gentile Christians are a testimony that we are living in the Millennium. Sun, 19 Nov 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1165 Armageddon literally means "Mt. Megiddo". It is a real location with mythic meaning - the place where God wins a HUGE victory. And what bigger victory could there be than at the cross of Jesus? Sun, 12 Nov 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1164 Jesus is the image of the Invisible God. Knowing the wisdom of God, Satan works in similar ways, through unbelievers scattered around the earth. But God is still in control. Sun, 5 Nov 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1163 Christians are assured that God has us sealed us for salvation, and that despite the troubles that we face here, Jesus will take us to be with Him forever. Sun, 22 Oct 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1161 Satan is The Deceiver, the Father of Lies. Such deceit brings temporary worldly success ... but Jesus has come so that the nations might no longer be deceived. Sun, 15 Oct 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1160 Ahab (I Kings 21) pridefully destroyed Naboth to obtain his vineyard. Jesus, in His humility, gave up Himself so that we might inherit an eternal vineyard. * Click the sermon text to view the video. Sun, 8 Oct 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1159 David planned well, experiencing both failure and success along the way. God planned from before creation to send His Son to save us. * Click the sermon text to view the video. Sun, 1 Oct 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1158 In II Samuel 15, Absalom, blinded by his rebellion, rejected the advice of Ahithophel and accepted advice from Hushai. Jesus is our source, not only of advice, but of eternal life. * Click the sermon text to view the video.

We can't. And so God suffered and died - God can fix what's wrong, by giving us new birth in Jesus Christ. Sun, 10 Sep 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1154 What's wrong with the world? Adam's sin was fatal for us; we are born dead - our troubles come from inside ourselves. The solution is a new life and new heart, given by Jesus. Sun, 3 Sep 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1153 Who is God? God is Creator. God is relational. God has created human beings in order to have a relationship with us. Sun, 20 Aug 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1151 God's Will. We find it through searching the Scriptures and receiving wise counsel from fellow believers. But acting on what we already know is the highest value. Sun, 13 Aug 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1106 Eternal Life is the one thing needed in life - it is the pearl of great price. Jesus has provided us with this pearl, at great cost to Him and at no cost to us. Sun, 30 Jul 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1104 God created human beings in His image, and we see evidences of that in many areas of human life. This truth also impacts how we approach various issues that society wrestles with. Sun, 23 Jul 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1103 Jesus gives us life, here and in eternity. Bio-ethical discussions, about such things as embryonic stem cell research, are informed by that great truth. Sun, 9 Jul 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1101 In our work of spreading the gospel, we support our African Immigrant Ministry, the University Chapel, a Haiti Feeding Program ... and Pastor / Jane Schnake are traveling to Kyrgyzstan. Sun, 2 Jul 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1100 In our work of spreading the good news of Christ, we support three local missions: People's City Mission; the Friendship Home; and Orphan Grain Train. Sun, 25 Jun 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1099 Sun, 18 Jun 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1098 Sun, 11 Jun 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1097 John is the last of our Gospels, written by the Apostle John at the end of the 1st Century, giving clear witness that Jesus is God, our Savior. Sun, 4 Jun 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1096 The Gospel of Luke was written by a doctor who researched the facts of Jesus and wrote them down in the first century. He is an extremely reliable historian, who assures us of Jesus' death and resurrection for our salvation. Sun, 28 May 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1095 Mark is a gospel of the doings of Jesus rather than His sayings. And of course the greatest thing He's done is die and rise again for our salvation! The Scripture is true! Sun, 21 May 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1094 Matthew vs. the DaVinci Code. Contrary to the claims of this new book / movie, our faith in Jesus is well-grounded and firm. You can trust Jesus for this life and the next! Sun, 14 May 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1093 Christ is risen! And because He lives, we are assured that He is active and working even in the darkest days. On this Mother's Day we heard the testimony of a couple who's daughter died ... and how God worked to heal that wound. Sun, 7 May 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1092 Christ is risen! He lives today, and works to heal wounds - today we rejoiced to hear how He works in the lives of single moms. Sun, 30 Apr 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1091 We live in a fallen world and often find ourselves powerless over sin - Mike encouraged us with his story of God's work of sobriety in his life for the past 20+ years. Sun, 23 Apr 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1090 Christ is Risen! Because He lives, we are assured of His presence at work in the most difficult times of life ... as Pastor Reek told us, even the death of a child. Sun, 16 Apr 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1089 Christ is Risen! Paul stakes the whole of the Christian faith on this historical truth, and encourages us to base our lives on Jesus' resurrection. Sun, 9 Apr 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1087 Holy Week provides us with the greatest drama of all time - a drama focused on Jesus the King and His awesome love for you. Sun, 2 Apr 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1086 Confession and Forgiveness. Such great blessings from God, as He molds our hearts to confess "agree with" Him that we've sinned ... and then lavishes forgiveness on us through Christ. Sun, 26 Mar 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1085 Jesus is Lord! But is He really ... in your life? Or do you pray, "Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come ... MY will be done..." Sun, 19 Mar 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1084 Greed. Common to all of us - praise Jesus for His forgiveness. Combat greed by a focus on God's blessings and by returning 10% to the Lord. Sun, 12 Feb 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1079 Jesus' love is our forgiveness. His faithfulness is promised to us. And in His power we love as He first loved us. Sun, 29 Jan 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1074 As we Jedi Christians enter the battle with the Dark Side, our weapon is the Scripture ... and our power is the Holy Spirit. Sun, 22 Jan 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1073 Training for battle with the Dark Side is crucial. Mentoring. Memorization. Messing Up. And receiving forgivness and new life each day from Christ. Sun, 1 Jan 2006 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1070 The Parable of Toy Story teaches us much about the old and the new ... valuing the old old story of Jesus and His love ... presented in new and wonderful ways. Sun, 18 Dec 2005 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1067 Jesus is coming! We are ready for His return because He loves us and gave His life for us. Our excitement builds as we know Him better. Sun, 11 Dec 2005 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1066 In baptism we 'put on the suit' of Christ. We got the card. We're chosen ... by God to live out the Christ-life as a blessing to the world. Sun, 4 Dec 2005 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1065 Martin Luther: "God creates out of nothing. Therefore, until someone is nothing, God can make nothing out of him." This is true repentance, preparing for Jesus' coming. Sun, 13 Nov 2005 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1062 iPOD Religion is all about me - me choosing what to believe and what to delete. We are challenged to trust a Truth outside of ourselves, Jesus Christ, our Savior. Sun, 6 Nov 2005 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1061 On what basis do you make decisions? On the basis of God's law or on the basis of what will bring the best outcome? In love God has given us His law, because He alone knows the outcome. Sun, 30 Oct 2005 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1060 Our culture views truth as something that changes depending on a person's perspective. In fact, Jesus is the Truth ... the Truth that saves sinners and gives eternal life. Sun, 23 Oct 2005 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1059 A New Tolerance has swept through our culture, obscuring the Biblical Tolerance that helps us identify sin and welcome a Savior. We are encouraged to live out Biblical Tolerance. Sun, 9 Oct 2005 00:00:00 CST http://www.room211.org/RSSFeeds/SermonViewer.asp?ServiceID=1057 Sick people don't always want a Cure; often they reject it. Objections to the Gospel of Jesus have answers, and as God leads us to share those answers, people come to faith in Christ.
