    Glass Houses: The Wedding Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Oct 18, 2019
     | 3,468 views

    Jesus atones for the sins of our judging

    There are plenty of glass houses in our lives and one of the most celebrated comes in the form of a wedding. A wedding is ripe for judgment. From the guests showing up, to the crazy family member’s behavior, to the bridal parties’ actions, the pastor’s homily and even the bride’s wedding dress. ...read more

    Our Own Cross To Bear

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Mar 7, 2026
     | 59 views

    We like the idea of following Jesus—until we hear Him talk about a cross. In Our Own Cross to Bear, we consider Jesus’ call to deny ourselves and discover that the life we try to protect is the very life we lose. The life we surrender to Christ is the one we truly find.

    Our Own Cross to Bear Mark 8: 34-38 I. Introduction I have to be honest. Preparing this message has been a challenge. It’s a hard word, but it is Jesus explaining the very heart of discipleship. The words Jesus spoke that day to his disciples and to the crowd are just as pertinent to discipleship ...read more

    We Are Made Righteous By Faith (Second Sunday Of Lent, March 5, 2023)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2023
     | 2,440 views

    How would you like to take a test that had a different rule for success? Instead of so many points for an “A”, so many for a “B” and so on, the success of the test would be based on an “all or nothing rule”. So you would have to get a 100% to pass on every test every single day.

    WE ARE MADE RIGHTEOUS BY FAITH Text: Romans 4:1-5, 13-17 Romans 4:1-5  What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter?  (2)  If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. ...read more

    First Sunday Of Lent, Year C--Assume The Power, The Devil Told Him

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 7, 2025
     | 502 views

    An image or fantasy is presented to me...

    Satan tries to drive a wedge between Jesus and his Father. “If you are the Son of God,” Satan begins two his temptations. Same with us, with baptism, “If you are a child of God.” Doubting baptismal identity. Lent is a time of self-appraisal and accountability. When we remember and reflect on our ...read more

    Fifth Sunday Of Lent, Year B--I Tried But It Died: Grain Of Wheat

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 15, 2024
     | 1,428 views

    A Christian is obliged to let go, to put himself into hands that are not his own of letting oneself go into the hands of God.

    Wheat is associated with being sewn in the ground, buried, geminating and then springing up for bread to feed multitudes. These are all symbols of Christ’s passion, death, resurrection, and communion with his Body, the Church with Jesus, saved in his Sacrifice at Calvary. The seed has to be buried ...read more

    The first Adam was tested by Satan and was defeated. The New Adam, Jesus, faces three temptations from Satan and is victorious. We can learn what was really behind those temptations to live sanctified lives!

    TEMPTATION!
