    “A New Day Dawning” April 28, 2019 Acts 1:1-14 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3 After his suffering, he presented ...read more

     | 3,764 views

    Our mission, through prayer, fasting and almsgiving, and through a constant witness to the Truth of Jesus Christ, is to share the love of God with as many as we can, so that we will all be together in eternity at the awesome banquet of the Lamb of God.

    Tuesday of the 4th Week in Easter 2019 St. Matthias Today we remember the outcome of one of the great human tragedies–the treason and suicide of the apostle Judas. Now we don’t know from the magisterium what happened to Judas after he died. Did he have a moment of clarity that caused him to repent ...read more

    A sermon for Ascension of the Lord Sunday.

    “Now What Are We Gonna Do?” Acts 1:1-14 In the next verse, which I didn’t read, we are told that at this point the believers were a group of folks numbering about 120. It’s not a huge mass of people. It’s just a little less than the number of people we have worshiping here on any given ...read more

    You are worth it

    Being much concerned about the rise of denominations in the church, John Wesley tells of a dream he had. In the dream, he was ushered to the gates of Hell. There he asked, "Are there any Presbyterians here?" "Yes!", came the answer. Then he asked, "Are there any Baptists? ...read more

    But there’s more to Christian life. Much more. It’s a series of challenges and privileges that come to us with our existence in human society. We model our love for other human beings on the love God has for us.

    Seventh Sunday of Easter The prophet Isaiah said it several hundred years before Jesus was born: “My thoughts are not your thoughts. Your ways are not my ways.” Our psalm says it in another way: “As far as the east is from the west, so far has [God] put our transgressions from us.” God is not ...read more

    The original Apostles were picking a replacement for Judas. Was Matthias really God's pick?

    Mary's offspring, Jesus Christ, Son of God and her son, would defeat Satan and all the evil spirits and restore those who believe in Him to our original state in the image of God.

    Monday after Pentecost If the story weren’t of the greatest tragedy in human history, this reading from the early chapter of Genesis would almost be a French farce. We see just before these verses the virgin Eve (she is so seen by the Church Fathers) succumbing to the seductive voice of a serpent, ...read more

    In Jerusalem almost 2,000 years ago the Holy Spirit was given and the church was born. A church can have the presence of the Holy Spirit or just pretend to be a church. A person can have the presence of the Holy Spirit or not. Do you. You can. Why wait?

    Lessons From Olivet

     | 7,568 views

    The Mount of Olives was important to Jesus. It is a place of praise, a place of rest, a place of communion, a place of surrender, a place of blessing, and a place of retreat – things important to both Christ and believers today.

    I’ve entitled our message today “Lessons from Olivet,” and I wish to begin by reading Luke 22:39, which is our focal verse. This verse says, “Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him.” This morning, I feel led to preach a message about ...read more
