    Mana From Heaven -- Jesus Feeding The Five Thousand Series

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Jan 8, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 87 views

    The four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John explain the many ways in which God provides us through the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand.

    I recall a day at Trinity College Theological School when, during a Homiletics Class, a mature-aged feminist student preparing for ministry challenged me. She demanded that I account for the disciples counting only the men to the exclusion of women and children in the story of Jesus feeding the ...read more

    Jesus The Bread Of Life Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 29 views

    When God the Father draws us to Himself by reminding us of Home through the taste of Heaven's food, Jesus, the Bread of Life, we come to know that our Father is with us always

    You heard me say last Sunday that our son left the nest in May and moved into his own house. We miss him very much at home. However, because he lives only about twelve minutes away, we do not experience the separation as much as we would have otherwise. About two times each week, he comes home in ...read more

    Temptations -- Jesus' And Ours Series

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Jan 1, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 124 views

    Temptation is our awful struggle not to lose ourselves and our potential to lose ourselves. Temptation also highlights God’s mercy and grace in our lives in the wilderness for forty minutes, hours, days or years.

    In today’s Gospel reading, we encounter the most human and common experience: temptation, which Jesus also experienced in a very profound way. The temptations of Jesus are found in all four Gospels. But we are accustomed to thinking that Jesus was tempted three times before his public ministry ...read more

    Our Agenda Vs God's Agenda

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 29, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 112 views

    Jesus has a vision for his ministry and the people have another, a different vision. The people’s own expectations have deafened them to the fulfillment of the scriptures. They are so caught up in their own agenda they cannot hear, let alone participate in, God’s agenda.

    “What’s your plan for the day?” It’s a question I often ask my wife; usually on the weekend. But sometimes in the evenings after work I’ll say, “What’s your plan for this evening?” What’s your plan for the weekend? They seem like innocent enough questions and often they are. I’m really interested ...read more

    We Do Not Know What We Should Pray For As We Ought Series

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 23, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 208 views

    Like all Christians, St. Paul was left wondering how to pray in many challenging situations and trials during his ministry as an Apostle of the Lord. Then, he found how to pray best.

    The words of St Paul, “We do not know what we should pray for as we ought,” I know, ring a bell with all of us Christians. When we are faced with situations that are beyond our grasp and capacity to control, we find ourselves without knowing what we should pray for as we ought. I remember my ...read more

    The Transfiguration Of Jesus

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 20, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 72 views

    In Jesus's Transfiguration, He reveals who we truly are and who we are to become by the grace of God.

    I suspect. Most of us look in a mirror at some point each day. We check our hair, makeup, teeth, and clothes. Mirrors show us what we look like. While it might be important to know what we look like, it’s more important to know who we are. That’s what this holy Feast of the Transfiguration is ...read more

    The Child Jesus Held In His Arms

    based on 1 rating
     | 108 views

    When we come to the faith and are baptised, we are forever held in Jesus’ arms.

    Only a few Sundays ago, I preached on the story of Jesus picking up a little child and holding him in his arms (Mark 9:30-37) St. Mark did not name the child. But guess what? A tradition in the church says the child is none other than Ignatius, a native of Syria. This is the boy who later became ...read more

    Jesus, The True Vine - We Are The Branches

    If we develop our relationship with Jesus and want to become all that God would have us be, then God will treat us in whatever way necessary to make it happen.

    Around this time last year, I signed up to be an “Angel.” This was not in the company of God’s Angels in Heaven and on Earth but with a wine club here in Australia called Naked Wines. It is a club comprising private and small-scale wine growers across Australia and New Zealand. Anyone can purchase ...read more

    The Holy Spirit Gifts Us To Speak In The Tongue Of Heaven

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 17, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 45 views

    When the Holy Spirit empowers a person to speak in his or her language—which we will hear in our mother tongue—the language they speak in is not their language but the tongue of Heaven.

    What an incredible and ecstatic experience for the twelve Apostles, the Mother of Jesus, Jesus’ brothers, and other women to experience the gifting of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. As Luke reports, it had been a dramatic event. While they were together, the event started with a sudden ...read more

    Our Never-Dying Souls In Jesus Are The Light Of The World

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 16, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 40 views

    Remember always the beauty with which our souls came into this world – the gifts, the talents, and strengths -- are to accomplish the will of God for our lives in this world.

    In today's Gospel reading, Jesus speaks powerful words about our soul, raising the question of what is there if we gain the whole world at the cost of losing it. To ponder the soul that God has given us, I'd like to share two stories with you. The first story is from my days of teaching ...read more

    Beautiful things and many more things in life that we may not experience and fulfil with those whom we love will come to pass and happen when we meet in Heaven

    Jesus said: Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven (Mt. 18:18) The picture I have chosen for today’s liturgy cover is a brilliant piece of art by the famous Spanish artist Juan Lucena. I think he painted this ...read more

     | 74 views

    The saints' exemplary lives encourage us always to be close to Jesus and make it our life’s plan.

    As the whole church celebrates the Feast of St Francis today (4 October), I want to take the opportunity to share with you why the church honours and celebrates saints. I want to reflect with you what the saints have to teach us about our calling to be Jesus' followers, our faith in God, and ...read more

    The Journey To Emmaus

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 16, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 51 views

    The risen Christ is with us always. He walks with us on every road. He is with us at the heights of joy and celebration and in the pits of terror and despair. He is always with us, but we do not recognise him. Nevertheless, he journeys with us to the end of our lives.

    The gospel reading we just read about Jesus' journey to Emmaus with two persons is one of my favourite resurrection stories and possibly my favourite from the Gospel of Luke. Over the twenty-six years of my ministry, among many other texts in the Gospels, this is one of the most-loved stories I ...read more

    Jesus said the Spirit of truth abides and will be with us, the believers. But the rest of the world, Jesus said, cannot receive the Spirit of truth because they cannot see or understand it.

    The COVID-19 pandemic has forced our lives into isolation. However, one blessing this isolation has brought me is having some spare time. Last week, I used some of this extra time to open a medium-sized box that had not been opened for many years. The box contains some of my personal belongings ...read more

    Jesus knows our struggles, wounds, hurts, and pains and He carries them even in his resurrection body!

    (Please note the names mentioned in this sermon are pseudonyms) Today, we have this story of Jesus physically appearing to his disciples after his resurrection. On Jesus’ first appearance, Thomas was absent, and we just read in the story that he had insisted on seeing Jesus’ wounds if he were to ...read more
