This message teaches that a Christian marriage is a foundational biblical value designed and ordained by God, calling believers not merely to be saved but to mature in obedience to His design. Rooted in Jesus' teaching in Matthew 19 and Paul's instruction in Ephesians 5, marriage is defined as God's plan for one man and one woman to be united in a lifelong, indivisible covenant—what God joins together, no one should separate. Divorce, while permitted because of human sin and hardness of heart, was never God's original intention, and Scripture clearly reveals His heart against it. The message explains that the struggles within marriage trace back to the fall in Genesis 3, where sin introduced tension into the husband-wife relationship, requiring both spouses to intentionally live contrary to sinful impulses: wives are called to respectful, Christ-centered submission, and husbands are commanded to sacrificially love their wives as Christ loved the church. Biblical marriage therefore requires humility, mutual submission, spiritual maturity, and Spirit-empowered love, with husbands setting the tone through servant leadership and wives strengthening the union through respect and partnership. Ultimately, God provides divine power for couples to live out this calling, and the church stands as a community of support, believing in God's ability to heal, restore, and sustain marriages according to His good and perfect design.

This message presents worship as a joyful privilege rather than an obligation, inviting the church into an interactive and personal exploration of what it truly means to honor God. Worship is defined as adoring, exalting, and devoting ourselves to Him—not only through music, but through surrender, gratitude, service, and heart posture. Through a live panel conversation, the church sees that worship looks different for everyone—on stage, behind the scenes, with children, across cultures, and in everyday life—but is unified by the same God and the same purpose: reflecting His glory as His masterpieces (Isaiah 43:7). Rooted in scriptures like Romans 12:1, Psalm 100, John 4:24, and Isaiah 29:13, the message emphasizes that true worship must be both Spirit-led and grounded in truth, flowing from an authentic heart rather than empty routine. It challenges believers to worship not only in moments of joy but also in hardship, recognizing that praise is often the outward expression while worship is the inward surrender. Ultimately, the message culminates in a call to salvation, declaring that the greatest act of worship is surrendering one's life fully to Jesus and choosing to worship Him in Spirit and in truth.

This message teaches that giving is a basic Christian value rooted in the heart, not a requirement for salvation but an expression of trust, worship, and obedience to God. Drawing from Mark 12 and the story of the poor widow, it emphasizes that God does not measure generosity by amount but by sacrifice, motive, and faith, showing that giving reveals one's heart toward God. Jesus neither condemns the rich nor stops the widow, highlighting that generosity looks different for each person but always reflects worship directed to God rather than institutions or people. Throughout Scripture—before the Law, under the Law, and affirmed by Jesus—giving and tithing are presented as responses to recognizing God as the true source of all provision. The message challenges believers to live with an eternal perspective, resisting excuses rooted in hurt, fear, or preference, and instead to grow in maturity by faithfully giving as an act of worship, trusting that God's blessing includes not only material provision but also His favor, presence, and lasting impact on both this life and eternity.If you are in need of prayer, we would love to pray with you.

This teaching presents prayer as a core Christian value and a vital, relational practice through which believers communicate with and grow in intimacy with God—not merely exchanging information, but forming a deep, ongoing relationship with a loving Father. Prayer is rooted in approaching God as “Our Father,” recognizing His holiness, aligning ourselves with His will, trusting Him for daily provision, seeking forgiveness while extending forgiveness to others, and asking for protection and deliverance, as modeled by Jesus in the Lord's Prayer. Rather than being formulaic or performative, prayer is meant to be sincere, disciplined, and motive-driven, practiced both privately and spontaneously, as seen in the lives of Jesus, Daniel, and the early church. Through prayer, believers invite God's presence, receive wisdom, peace, comfort, and provision, and are reminded that God already knows their needs and desires a close, loving relationship with His children.

This sermon presents water baptism as a foundational Basic Christian Value, emphasizing that it is not a ritual that saves, but an essential act of obedience, identification, and discipleship for every believer. Rooted in the Great Commission, baptism is shown to be a biblical ordinance commanded by Jesus, practiced immediately after conversion in the early church, and symbolizing a believer's union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. The message addresses common reasons people avoid baptism—lack of understanding, pride, indifference, defiance, or lack of genuine faith—and clarifies that while baptism does not produce salvation, it marks the beginning of a transformed, obedient life under Christ's lordship. Drawing from Scripture, Jewish tradition, and personal testimony, the sermon calls believers to take this step seriously, noting that obedience invites God's pleasure and blessing. Ultimately, water baptism is presented as a public declaration of faith, a visible gospel witness, and a crucial step in growing up spiritually and fully surrendering to Christ.

This message continues our Basic Christian Values series by emphasizing the vital importance of returning to foundational truths, especially the Word of God, as believers reset spiritually at the start of a new season. Rooted in 1 and 2 Timothy, it teaches that Scripture is trustworthy, God-breathed, powerful for salvation, and essential for shaping every part of the Christian life. The sermon argues that faith is not blind but grounded in reliable, eyewitness testimony preserved through Scripture, which reveals God, exposes sin, points to Christ, and forms believers through teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness. It underscores that both Old and New Testaments are necessary for a full understanding of the gospel, that God uses His Word to save and transform lives, and that disciplined engagement with Scripture equips believers for every good work God has prepared. Ultimately, the message calls the church to recommit to living saturated by God's Word—personally, communally, and missionally—so they may grow in Christ, share the gospel faithfully, and be used by God for His purposes in a broken and needy world.

This message continues the Basic Christian Values series by focusing on The Promises of God, using Israel's crossing of the Jordan in Joshua as a picture of the church entering a new season. It teaches that God is the one who makes promises and is always faithful to fulfill them, though His timing often requires patience, trust, and preparation. God works through people—sometimes unexpected ones like Moses and Rahab—and through a unified body of believers to accomplish His purposes, calling His people to be strong, courageous, obedient, and united. The sermon emphasizes that stepping into God's promises is only the beginning, as faith requires action, perseverance, and spiritual battle, but God's presence always goes before His people. Finally, it calls believers to remember what God has already done, because remembering His faithfulness builds faith and courage to move forward confidently into the future He has promised.

This sermon launches the new year by emphasizing “First Things First”—the importance of order and priority in the Christian life—teaching that God's blessing flows not just from what we give Him, but from placing Him first in every area. Drawing from Scripture, it outlines four foundational Christian values: seeking God first each day through prayer and Scripture, worshiping God together as a devoted church family each week, honoring God with the first of our finances through the tithe, and beginning the year with fasting to strengthen spiritual dependence and alignment with the Holy Spirit. The message stresses that God is already first by nature, and our role is to realign our lives to His divine order, which leads to spiritual power, clarity, peace, provision, and a life led by the Spirit.

How to do it? When to do it?Maybe you see yourself in these situations. I have a solution. The choice we're called on to make isn't between what is right and what is wrong. The decision is between what is right and what is best.My sister and I knew we had done right by our animal companions over the many years of time together and care.

Michael (Mick) Meilahn's body of work, which includes glass sculpture and large glass and multi-media installations, intertwines the artist's investigation into agriculture, crop production, genetic food modification, and the ancient history of corn. Primordial Shift, a quintessential example of Meilahn's later installations, consisted of 32 hand-blown glass ears of corn averaging 4-feet high, suspended on stalks of cord with leaves of cast bronze on a backdrop of video projected to create an illusion of gentle swaying in the breeze and surround-sound audio that included the chirping of birds and rustling of leaves.  Since 2022, Meilahn's Primordial Shift exhibition has been touring the U.S. with stops at Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass (Neenah, Wis.), The John P. McGovern Museum of Health & Medical Science (Houston, Texas), South Dakota Art Museum at South Dakota State University (Brookings, S.D.) and the Rochester Art Center (Rochester, Minn.) from June 1 through September 30, 2025. Primordial Shift is a work of art. But underlying Meilahn's aesthetic is an agnostic, if not ambivalent, philosophy concerning agronomy or the crop science and the application of that science by horticulturists to plant production for the enhancement and improvement of nature for human and animal life. In that sense, Primordial Shift, along with most of the artist's other installations, are not agents for or of change, but artworks that illuminate the pros and cons of genetic modification. States Meilahn: "With today's sophisticated technology and global positioning, a 24-row corn planter can plant 1,000 acres a day with laser accuracy, 35,000 plants per acre with placement exactly 6" apart, and 1 3⁄4" deep. The instant the seed hits the ground, germination begins. That germination is as primal as it gets. It's everywhere! Just look. The shift part is engineered; with results that are all so convenient. Is this shift good? You decide."  Meilahn (b. 1945) grew up on a family farm near Pickett, in Central Wisconsin. After graduating in 1964 from high school in Ripon where he excelled in art, he entered the University of Wisconsin-River Falls to study agriculture. He subsequently switched his major to art, after he realized agri-business was not his passion. At UW River Falls he took his first course in glass, and in 1966 he started blowing glass. At this time, Harvey Littleton was running the studio glass program at UW Madison, made famous by a slew of glass graduates, the most famous being Dale Chihuly. As an undergraduate, Meilahn spent a quarter abroad working with glass legend Erwin Eisch in Frauenau, Germany, on the Bavaria/Czech border, an area with a rich tradition of glass making. After graduation in 1971, he spent a year in Bolivia as an idealistic Peace Corp volunteer intent on helping people in South America by sharing knowledge he'd learned from farming. Subsequently, he enrolled at Illinois State University, Normal, where Joel Philip Myers had begun a glass program and earned his Masters degree in art.   Ultimately, Meilahn's roots drew him back to his family's farm in 1975 where he and his wife, Jane, raised their children, and where he alternately operated the family farm and the hot glass studio he built. In time, his passion for art and farming became one-in-the-same as a form of creative expression. Since 1996, when he turned 50 and began planting genetic seed, Meilahn's artwork has focused on genetic modification, which has symbiotically shaped his life and work, both as an artist and a farmer. His installations afford viewers the opportunity to view and contemplate the production of corn from the dual perspective of an artist who knows the subject from life. For the past 15 years or so, this convergence has been the basis for a number of important works. Meilahn served as the President of The Board of Directors of the Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass in Neenah, Wisconsin. He has taught at Penland School of Craft in North Carolina and The Archie Bray Foundation in Montana. His work has been exhibited in the traveling museum exhibitions, Wisconsin's Glass Masters and Environmental Impact, produced by David J. Wagner, L.L.C., the annual Smithsonian Craft Show, and at The Corning Museum of Glass, which has also featured the artist's work in its New Glass Review for over four decades. Meilahn says: "An ear of corn is the point of convergence for my dual careers in farming and art. Corn is not a typical subject in art. But for me, the lines, rows, numbers, higher prices, lower prices, color spectrums, mapping, information technology, air masses, and species have all combined to have unwittingly become a catalyst for my art."

Kiley Allan says the buzz this year is the disruption that weather caused on hive management. She talks to WI Honey Producer Association President, Tracy Malterer from Iron Ridge. Malterer says the rain in spring washed out the nectar bees were looking for in blooms. Then the summer became exceptionally dry, making available food sources scarce.

We are back after a week off! We welcome State Representative Vinnie Miresse to the show to discuss new legislation to protect the ‘rights of nature' and reinstitute a state anti-mining law. We take stock in the state of American democracy and why Saturday's No Kings Rally 2.0 will communicate by the number of people who turnout widespread opposition to the authoritarian usurpations of the Trump Regime. We encourage our listeners to attend an event near you. Find No Kings Rallies here. We look at a current Supreme Court case that could deal a death b low to America's multiracial democracy by legalizing racial gerrymandering. Robert helps us understand why the United Healthcare and Ascension deal unintentionally lays bare the corruption of hospital and insurance pricing and why it's long overdue for the hospital industry to be regulated in the public interest. We also discuss the toll of over a decade of austerity in Wisconsin, as a new report ranks Wisconsin 46th in the nation in public college affordability. We close by highlighting the overwhelmingly approving by the state senate of a bill to require health insurers to cover all necessary breast cancer screenings, including women that are hard to diagnose, without co-pays and deductibles.The bill is named for a Neenah woman who died of breast cancer because of inadequate screenings. Outcome in the Assembly unclear, as the health insurance industry has killed the bill during the last two legislative sessions. But word in the Capitol is that Robin Vos will block it in the Assembly, just as he has done with postpartum care for women and their children.

This sermon on Matthew 22:41–46 unpacks Jesus' question to the Pharisees about the Messiah being both David's son and David's Lord, showing that He is not only the promised descendant of David but also the eternal Son of God. The message traces Israel's history, the Pharisees' zeal for the law, and God's covenant promises, highlighting how Jesus fulfills Psalm 110 as the exalted Priest-King in the order of Melchizedek. Unlike the Pharisees, whose reliance on tradition blinded them to God's unfolding plan, Jesus reveals Himself as the one seated at the right hand of the Father, ruling with authority, mediating a better covenant, and trampling His enemies underfoot. The sermon calls believers to humility, to avoid reducing Jesus to fit personal agendas, and to recognize Him as the Alpha and Omega, Son of David and Son of God, who secures eternal hope.

Discover how to make life-changing decisions with wise counsel rooted in biblical wisdom. In this powerful sermon, we explore Proverbs and the example of Jesus' teachability to guide you in navigating life's toughest choices.
