This is a sermon given by myself, Tim Rittenour, which was inspired by the Cantada, "Watch the Lamb", performed at the Open Arms Christian Fellowship Church in Thief River Falls, MN on 04/13/20204 and 04/14/2024. It is a dramatic musical production written by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan. Open Arms is a Seventh-Day Adventist Ministry that has, over the years, used a varie

So many have sustained and suffered abuse in one form or another. Joslynn certainly did and yet in spite of this she is not bitter, angry or resentful towards her abusers or God. She has found serenity in spite of this history by turning to God in her "prayer closet". If you have suffered some form of abuse in your life, I trust you will find this episode helpful and heal

This is a sermon I gave at the Open Arms Christian Fellowship Church in Thief River Falls, MN on 03/16/2024. I love to read and study my Bible. It satisfies my heart yearnings for peace and contentment like no other Book or activity. Thousands have given their lives for the Word of God and it's truths. It is like no other book. It is precious and Holy...There is a minute or tw

Today I got to sit down with a new friend, Guirleine Versailles. I have known her for just a few months and have been impressed with her spirituality and witness. Originally from Haiti, she now lives in Thief River Falls, MN and works at DigiKey here in town. By the way, I am sorry I have not published any podcasts for awhile. The Lord led me to make a move to Thief River Falls whe

This is a continuation of our study on the Sabbath. We covered OT texts in our last episode. This episode covers NT texts. As host of the Minnesota Adventist Podcast I want to give praise and honor to my Lord and Savior and Dearest Friend, Jesus Christ, as being the inspiration behind and producer of this podcast. With His oversight and blessing, I want to offer to Seventh-Day Adve

I am experimenting with a new idea and that is to provide you with reviews of various Bible subjects that are vital for us to know well as we come to the close of this world's history. We may be called upon someday, to give a defence of our beliefs. I feel I need to be better prepared to do so if I am faced with such a scenario and I suspect I am not alone. I am beginning with

My son-in-law Jonathan Dietrich presented an update on the work that Desert Tree Ministries is doing in Chad Africa. My daughter Melody and he have been in Chad for the last 14 years. The Lord has greatly blessed their work there. This was a slide presentation so unfortunately right now this is an audio podcast but I think you will still be blessed. Also there was a buzz in the rec

Why does God permit suffering? An age old question that I have wondered about in my own life. I have at times asked why I was born into the home I had with all it's pain, abuse and suffering. There have been times I have, through blinding tears, asked God why He could not have given me a different home, with loving parents. The Lord in His mercy and kindness helped to answer t

I have been busy helping install a new AV system for the Dodge Center SDA church for the last several days. Calvin Runji, the owner of "Scene Alive", a consulting and installing business out of Texas, has come up to do the instillation here in Dodge Center. It has been grueling work with long hours and many hurdles and obstacles and decisions to make but by God's ena

I have been able to observe Jonathan & Melody for a few days in the parenting of their children. They will be the first to admit that they are not "perfect" but as I have observed them, I can not but think they do a very good job, better than I did, and so I invited them to sit down and discuss parenting.
