This message was recorded on: Sunday, April 6, 2008. In this week s message Pastor Tom Olson continues in his series of a passion for sermons. This week s message is based on one of the greatest reasons for the deterioration of the church today. The whole point of having access to God s word is to read it and believe it. If you let certain truths in the Bible slide as just ideas everything falls out from under you all of your ethics and values go down the tubes. If you don t have the courage to stand on the word of God, you ll soon give up everything. Stand on the Word and withstand the storm of life. The Word alone, grace alone, and faith alone.

As some of you internet listeners may already know, Pastor Olson is now meeting with a group in the mornings at Willow Springs Bible Church, and as a way for people around the world to be able to get a feel for the South West Wisconsin work, I (Josiah Olson) made this short video of our very first church service in the new facilities. Many things will probably change in the future, but this will give anyone a good idea of the group we re starting out with! Note: there are several spelling errors on the subtitles in the video and at one point it says children s sermon when in reality it s praise and worship. Note before playing: this video is ipod compatible so feel free to download the video and watch it again and again on your desktop, also because of the limited size of the web page the video on the site is down sized and will look much better if you click the Download link below the video if you intend to watch it thanks.

This message was recorded on: Sunday, March 3, 2008. Pastor Tom is back preaching in Mineral Point to a small group for the month of March. He is beginning a sermon on series on the principals that AFLC Home Missions wants to see in new congregations. The series kicks off with the most important Biblical principal of all. That if we are saved and living for Christ we ll have a passion for Him. God created us in His image and offers us eternal life and all we have to do is to accept God s plan for our life and the free gift of salvation. So, before you step stop and pray.

This message was recorded on: Sunday, January 27, 2008. In this message Pastor Tom Olson wraps up his series on the Fruit of the Spirit. He reminds us that we are Christ s ambassadors on earth, and we owe Christ our salvation. So, we should be more than happy to obey Christ through obedience and our daily witness for Him. We must always remember that as life gets tough, we must continue in the path to Jesus. People know we are Christians, and they will judge Christ by how we, as Christians live our lives. The reason the Church is dwindling in some parts of the world today is because God s children have forgot they re representing him. Live a life for Christ in this life, and reap the fruit for eternity. SermonText: Word, HTML, or PDF Subscribe to the Podcast Feed or Get the MP3

This message was recorded on: Sunday, January 20, 2008. In this weeks message Pastor Tom Olson reminds us that God came to earth to reach out to us. Without Jesus there can be no salvation. We need to be rooted in Christ in order to bear good fruit, and if we as Christians are not bearing good fruit then there is no sign of our salvation. We need to kill our old nature and let God cut off the old self, the old fruit. Only once this happens can God do a great work. Don t be afraid of deaf; trust in God. What sins are hounding you?

This message was recorded on: Sunday, January 13, 2008. This week Pastor Tom Olson continues on with the life of Christ and looks at Christ s baptism. He reminds us that Baptism is a serious matter, and that the church has tried to make it a mere tradition. Baptism is when the Holy Spirit enters into your like, and takes over for old Adam. So, listen to the message and hear the verses that support these claims. Baptism isn t a joke standup for the true and serious commitment of baptism. The greatest enemy is within.

This message was recorded on: Sunday, November 25, 2007. Are you ready? That s the question posed to us today by guest speaker Gary Kelm. Gary asks us if we are ready to go where God tells us to go, and if we are ready to do it without him having to half, push us off a cliff to get us to go there. Remember, God doesn t always just tell us in a dream where to go or what to do sometimes He uses that small voice through prayer and meditation, accompanied with scripture reading. Other times, He chooses to make world our personal events go a certain way to change the course of history and carry out his plan. So, next time your tempted to complain, remember that, it could be God s perfect plan being carried out, and when his plan is finished He will return for those who were faithful.

This message was recorded on: Sunday, November 18, 2007. This week Pastor Olson is back from his cancer treatments in Minneapolis. In the message Pastor Olson takes a look back into time, and tries to figure out why the generation today has lost its thankful spirit. The conclusion made is that times are too good. When we have it too easy it is easy to lose sight of all of the blessings we have, including salvation. That is why we have to be thankful in our times of trials; because the Lord is drawing us back to him. (Note: at some points in the audio it gets very quiet this is because Pastor is having the congregation read a scripture passage so, download the sermon text and read along.)

Can we do less for the social outcasts in our society? In this message we are challenged to show the love of Christ to the world by witnessing to people we may not like through the love of Christ.

This message was recorded on: Sunday, November 4, 2007. This week Lay Minister Gary Kelm shares with Faith Lutheran the story of the widow and the unjust judge. The widow will never give up until the judge grants justice. The widow was helpless just like us as Christians when we pray we need to keep pleading until God s answer comes, and remember that God has three answers Yes, No, and Wait. So, never give up on any prayer keep seeking the Lord for the salvation of your loved ones; if an unjust judge grants justice, so will God our Heavenly Father.
