    Contributed by William Akehurst on Dec 22, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 14,860 views

    The tombstone holds 2 dates. The date of birth and the date of death. A dash - separates the 2. That dash represents a lifetime spent here on this earth. Both dates hold different emotions for different people. But to the believer in Jesus, I want you to reconsider those dates, especially the 2nd...

Born #### --- Died ### The tombstone holds 2 dates. The date of birth and the date of death. A dash - separates the 2. That ...read more

    God seeks the lost and strayed

    The Good Shepherd, Then and Now Ezekiel 34:11-16, 20-24 Today’s message/devotion comes to us from the Prophet Ezekiel. Who was Ezekiel and who made him a prophet to speak for God? Unless we have some understanding here, we simply hear words and swallow our doubts and what we don’t understand. ...read more

  • Come To A Lonely Place

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 30, 2024
     | 845 views

    We tend in our enthusiasm to forget that WE are not the saviors of the world. The world already has one of those, and He is unmatchable.

    Saturday of the Fourth Week in Course 2024 Today St. Mark’s Gospel interjects a short story about Jesus counseling His disciples how to be effective missionaries. ‘And he said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a lonely place, and rest a while."’ The great saints advise similar rest ...read more

     | 1,118 views

    Shame convinces us there is no hope of ever changing or getting better.

    John 8 - The Woman Caught in Adultery March 10, 2024 John 8:2-11 NIV “At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand ...read more

  • God Plans A Surprise Party Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 12, 2024
     | 862 views

    Jesus is telling all that He is about to fulfill the prophecy of Ezekiel.

    Saturday of the Fourth Week in Lent 2024 So what words were those that convinced a number of Christ’s listeners that He was (and is) the prophet foretold by Moses and so many other of the early prophets? Our lectionary is not very helpful there, so we go right to chapter 7 of St. John’s Gospel and ...read more

  • Shutting Down The Hypocrites, Especially Ourselves

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 30, 2024
     | 365 views

    Jesus, here in Mark’s Gospel, gives us a start on our understanding the proper response to hypocrisy.

    Thirty-first Sunday in Course 2024 How could you get a hypocrite to shut up? They are called “Karens” these days, which to me is an disrespectful misuse of a woman’s name. Nonetheless, no matter what you call that kind of behavior, pharisaical people are just about as irritating as one can be. ...read more

  • Clever Sharing Of The Good News

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 5, 2024
     | 3,108 views

    Looking at the story of the wasteful servant without trying to be too specific can be helpful to us today.

    Friday of the 31st Week in Course 2024 Parables from Jesus struck the listeners as stories that might help them understand God’s kingdom. Often the real challenge is to look at the story as a whole, and ask what general lesson Jesus is trying to help us learn. The parable we just heard is one of ...read more

  • Jesus Christ Really Did Come In The Flesh And Is Coming Again

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 11, 2024
     | 344 views

    The clear fact is that all humans need to make themselves ready by faith and good works to be ready at any time for the general judgement, the return of Christ.

    Friday of the thirty-second week in course 2024 Let’s spend a moment with our Gospel passage to find from Church teaching what Jesus is not saying by way of St. Luke. There is a school of Christian thought that was popularized in the Left Behind series of books and flicks. It’s called ...read more

  • Unsurpassed In Distress

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 13, 2024
     | 345 views

    If we are not very careful, we could see today’s readings from God’s Word as panic-inducing warnings causing fear and hatred

    Thirty-Third Sunday in Course 2024 When I see the dread words about “a time unsurpassed in distress since nations began until that time,” there comes to mind from my own family’s history several events that were so advertised before they happened. In fact, we just completed an election cycle that ...read more

  • Rescued By The Lamb, The Good Guys Win.

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 24, 2024
     | 481 views

    All the incidental stuff like Gog and Magog and the Beast and the Great Whore of Babylon will not matter then, because they will have been among those rolled up in the great Rug of Evil and thrown into the flaming pit.

    Friday of the 34th Week in Course 2024 Probably a few metric tons of ink have been spilled over the generations as scholas and preachers tried to make sense of the Revelations of St. John. But a few things in this murky and often confusing part of God’s Word come through to us quite clearly. The ...read more

  • Living Like Christ Or Like Scrooge?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 26, 2024
     | 453 views

    Like last Sunday, today’s pericope looks at statements made by Jesus not long before His arrest and passion, as Christ focuses our attention on the “last days.”

    First Sunday of Advent 2024 One of the most obvious signs that our Western culture was at a crisis point, and sliding or crashing in the wrong direction happened about forty years ago when the Advent season, which begins this Sunday, was turned into a pre-Christmas season. As time passed, it ...read more

  • Peace Of Righteousness

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 4, 2024
     | 356 views

    When the people turn to God in praise and right living, in true justice, they will know the fullness of peace, and God will be in their midst to console and empower them.

    Second Sunday of Advent 2024 The prophet Baruch was assistant to the prophet Jeremiah. His mentor is associated mostly with the final days of the Kingdom of Judah, and his prophecies were generally so dire that we now call such language a “jeremiad.” Wow. Imagine several hundred years from now ...read more

  • Fulfilling Our Ministry Call

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 4, 2024
     | 666 views

    Jesus knew that God’s plan for Him and His human parents was to grow in wisdom and grace, and to be obedient to them as He was to His heavenly Father.

    Saturday of the 9th week in Course 2024 There are only a few precious stories in Scripture about the childhood of Christ, mostly like this one in Luke’s Gospel. We know that Joseph and his family were devout Jews, even going up annually to Jerusalem to celebrate Passover. It’s important to know how ...read more

  • Jeremiah, Jesus And Ourselves, Shepherding The Flock

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 16, 2024
     | 529 views

    They were united in peace, because the true peace is Jesus, whose sacrifice on the cross is the event that attracts all humans in need of rescue from sin.

    Sixteenth Sunday in Course 2024 If you know your biblical history, it’s pretty easy to understand why the prophet Jeremiah is often portrayed in art as super-sad. He was active in his prophetic mission during a time that was economically prosperous, at least for the Jewish rich, but spiritually ...read more

  • Nourishment On Our Journey To The Mountain

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 8, 2024
     | 516 views

    That story always reminds me of the critical scenes in book 3 of Tolkien’s Ring Trilogy, when the lembas bread nourishes Sam and Frodo on their way to Mount Doom.

    Nineteenth Sunday in Course 2024 Saint Paul was one of the greatest Christian thinkers of his day or any other day, and we see it clearly in his letter to the Church of Ephesus. He has just told us to put off our old nature, prone to selfishness and sin, corrupted by uncontrolled lusts for money, ...read more
