  • Sermonette: New things, new hope

    Rev Doug Nemitz, First Lutheran Church|Apr 8, 2019

    “Do not remember the former things, or consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing” (Isaiah 43:18-19a). The prophet Isaiah proclaimed this message from God to God’s people who were now in exile in Babylon. As exiles, all of their identity, power, and glory has been stripped from them. The Jerusalem temple (the sign of God’s presence for them) is now in ruins. Their hope is barely a flicker. In this time of desperation for God’s people, God wants the people to remember that God has delivered them in the past. “Thus says the Lord, wh...

  • Living on Purpose: Grateful for heaven but focusing on Christ

    Dr. Billy Holland|Apr 8, 2019

    I cannot imagine a more optimistic and exciting thought than going to heaven and spending an eternity with God. For those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their savior, this divine promise is a wellspring of joy which confirms that our trials cannot be compared to the glory that awaits us. We should be inspired to fasten this covenant vow to our bathroom mirror so that every morning we can be reminded of God’s love and rejoice for the opportunity to not only know him in this life, but to w...

    Apr 8, 2019

    Power Outage by Jayme L. Job April 8, 2019 — A massive power outage resulting from vandalism was reported on this day in 1948.

Using the insulator off a power highline north of Mandan as target practice, the anonymous assailant succeeded in b...

  • Eyes that see the good in things- April 8, 2019

    Allison Lindgren|Apr 8, 2019

    As I drove home the other night, I was happy to note that spring appears to be gaining ground and even might be winning in this power struggle it seems to be having with winter. The sun was low in the sky, turning the sky above the horizon a beautiful blend of pink and orange. The v-formation of geese in the sky was also a sign that the promise of spring was not too far away. However, it was the water standing in a field that caught my eye as the beautiful sunset was reflected in the flooded fie...

  • AARP Scam Alert: Beware of jury duty scams

    Apr 8, 2019

    For more than a decade, the jury duty scam has remained one of the most successful impostor schemes.
