Some people never change. Most people do, and with God, all people can. Dr. Michael Zeigler talks about God’s power to transform lives.

No boasting, just belonging, The Lutheran Hour

What would happen if Jesus came over to your house for dinner and a little chat? He invites you to have a conversation with Him that speaks both confrontation and comfort.

Fireplace spirituality, The Lutheran Hour
The pandemic has disrupted the way we work, the way we learn, and the way we worship. Old routines are on hold for now. Dr. Michael Zeigler says maybe this moment is an opportunity to learn again how God comes to us in His Word to light a fire within our households.

Jesus in the house, The Lutheran Hour
Jesus cares for households. Jesus knows that households often rise and fall together, and He doesn’t want anyone to fall. He wants to work through you, not just as an individual, but as a vibrant member of a spiritually vibrant home.

Fear and Faith, The Lutheran Hour
So far, 2020 has been a year marked by fear—fear of disease, fear of violence, fear of uncertainty, fear of what the future may hold. And in the midst of it all, Jesus says, “Fear not, I am with you.” Are you living in fear—or living by faith?

A wrong comparison, The Lutheran Hour
How do you compare to your next-door neighbour, your brother-in-law, or the person you were five years ago? Comparing ourselves against God’s requirements can prompt us to turn in repentant faith to Jesus, the Saviour beyond compare.

Seeing is believing, The Lutheran Hour
To His doubting disciple, Jesus said, “You believe because you have seen Me. Blessed are those who haven’t seen--and yet believe.” The blessing of believing what has not yet been seen.

If God has the whole world in His hands, why does it sometimes seem like He drops it?

Are you living in the reality of life as it is right now, life as it will be, or somewhere in between? That’s the question Dr. Michael Zeigler asks in this message titled “Unhelmed”

Practice makes perfect, The Lutheran Hour
When we want something to be perfect, we practice it over and over until it becomes part of us. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus encourages His followers to practice being perfect, because God already sees them that way, through faith in Christ.

Powered by touch, The Lutheran Hour
Jesus said His followers would be light for the world. Dr. Michael Zeigler reflects on the nature of that light and the power behind it.

What you’re getting into, The Lutheran Hour
Many of us know what it’s like to try out for a team, for a role in a play, or first chair in the band. We might have been chosen first. We might have been chosen last. We might not have been chosen at all. We might have been cut. So, how does God choose His team?

An undeserved salute, The Lutheran Hour
To be blessed is more than just having good luck. When God blesses, He delivers. Hear how God blesses the poor in spirit and makes them the salt of the earth.

Jesus doesn’t babble, The Lutheran Hour
Christ’s Word of peace to those who have grown weary of words.

Life after rescue, The Lutheran Hour
God saves people and then invites them to join Him in His mission to save others. And He gives instructions to help along the way. That’s the story the Bible tells and it illustrates the shape and order of the Christian life.

Words matter, The Lutheran Hour
“Jesus will stop at nothing to get your attention, to get you, to grab hold of you. Even though He is the King of Kings and Heir of all creation, He came to serve you. Though He holds the keys of death and hell in His hand, He gave Himself to save you—because you matter to Him.”

Stand a little taller, The Lutheran Hour
Dignity, humility, and life in the presence of God: “Imagine your father or your father-in-law comes to your work and you spend the whole day showing him all the important things that you do. And the first thing he says to you is, ‘This is no good. Let me give you some advice.’ How would you react?”

Rescue. Test. Rest., The Lutheran Hour
“God doesn’t have to figure out something about you that He doesn’t already know. He doesn’t have to figure out if He loves you or if He’s committed to you or if you’re worth it. God’s not testing you to figure something out about you He didn’t already know. He’s testing you so that you can figure out something about Him that you didn’t know, so that you can figure out that you can trust Him.”

The great pursuit, The Lutheran Hour
“Being pursued is a terrifying place to be. And, unfortunately, we all live there. But the good news is that we’re not the only ones being pursued. You and I have a Lord Who pursues the pursuer. We have a Saviour Who will not let the enemy of His people have the last word.”

You haven’t lost me, The Lutheran Hour
Christians are not immune from relapses into sin and doubt. A Christian is at the same time both saint and sinner. Dr. Michael Zeigler tells how God loves us through our relapses.

Whatever gets your attention gets you, The Lutheran Hour
“To believe is more than just acknowledging that Jesus is risen from the dead; it includes that, but there’s more. It’s about where you lay your fears, where you rest your concerns. It has to do with what gets your attention—with what gets you.”

There’s still time, The Lutheran Hour
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, when Christians around the world remember the events leading up to the trial, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Dr. Michael Zeigler sets this within the context of the Exodus, the story of how God led His people to freedom out of slavery in Egypt.

Labours of Love, The Lutheran Hour
The plagues described in the Book of Exodus show us what the wrath of God looks like. However, they also show the lengths to which God will go to save His people. These signs of God’s power are “labours of love” that seek to turn hardened hearts toward Him.

They bloom later, The Lutheran Hour
A weed is a stubborn thing, pushing its way up through a crack in the sidewalk. The human heart is a stubborn thing, insisting on going its own way. Dr. Michael Zeigler says God is stubborn, too. He talks about the stubborn love of God that reaches out to restore our relationship with our Creator.

Gracious confiscation, The Lutheran Hour
Confiscation is a bad word. No one likes having their “stuff” confiscated. But what if it’s God Who does the confiscating? Dr. Michael Zeigler says God may take away some blessings He once gave in order to give back even more. Hear about God’s “Gracious Confiscation” in the book of Exodus and in our lives.

Upon further review, The Lutheran Hour
Dr. Michael Zeigler says forgiveness changes the way we experience real life, as God’s forgiving love cancels the continuous playback of our regrets.

Break through the no-go zone, The Lutheran Hour
Sometimes, the difference between then and now, between what used to be and what is, comes in a single moment, a defining act. We call that a breakthrough. From living only for oneself to selfless giving of oneself, Dr. Michael Zeigler talks about the breakthrough that leads to new life.

Gold without glitter, The Lutheran Hour
Without the fire of the refiner’s forge, there can be no glittering gold. And so it is with us. You are more precious to God than gold. But, like gold, you and I need refining. Dr. Michael Zeigler tells how God refines through the crucible of Christ’s cross.

Call It a comeback, The Lutheran Hour
To rise, to fall, and rise again—everyone loves a good comeback story—but why? Maybe it’s because we are in one. Dr. Michael Zeigler says that’s the claim the Bible makes.

Unforgettable, The Lutheran Hour
We might forget names and faces, dates and places, but God remembers those who are His through faith in Christ. To God, they are unforgettable. Dr. Dean Nadasdy says, as we remember Jesus in faith, even more so does God remember us.

People are treasure, The Lutheran Hour
Even at our lowest and worst, God wants to be with us—and, in Jesus, He is.

Mercy in this Dojo, The Lutheran Hour
In the martial art called judo, the defender uses the force of the aggressor to defeat the aggressor. Dr. Michael Zeigler says that’s what God did at the cross of Jesus. He performed “spiritual judo.”

VDMA, The Lutheran Hour
From the days of the prophet Jeremiah to our own, some things haven’t changed all that much. There’s still corruption, violence, injustice, tragedy, and suffering. That’s the bad news. However, “the Word of the Lord endures forever.” So does God’s love for us in Jesus Christ. And that’s the Good News.

Here to stay, The Lutheran Hour
So long as there is time, God won’t leave us alone—even if we say that’s what we want. The message of Christmas is that God has come to be with us and He’s here to stay. How do we know? Dr. Michael Zeigler says God has given us both direct and indirect signs that point us toward this truth.

Love is enough, The Lutheran Hour
God shows us a different kind of love. It’s love for the world that is not of this world, love that is focused outward, love that gives without requiring anything in return. Dr. Michael Zeigler talks about that love and how to put it into practice.

God's Yes, The Lutheran Hour
If we say that God’s purpose is simply to take our souls to heaven when we die, we might miss God’s bigger ‘yes’ … God’s ‘yes’ to putting bodies and souls back together again in the resurrection; God’s ‘yes’ to creation as He intended it to be.

Enough with the self-talk!, The Lutheran Hour
We are not always who we say we are. What you say to yourself about yourself may or may not be what’s true. Dr. Michael Zeigler says, “Enough with the self-talk!” Who does God say you are? You’ll find that you are worse than you thought, and yet, more loved than you could ever imagine.
