    What Is Truth? Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 18, 2012
     | 8,620 views

    We may either adopt the cynicism of this dying world, dismissing truth when it stands before us, or we may embrace the Son of God who is truth.

    “Pilate said to Jesus, ‘What is truth?’” [1] Cynicism best describes the governor’s demeanor when the True Light stood before him. Arraigned before Pilate’s judgement seat was Jesus of Nazareth who testified of Himself, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life” [JOHN 14:6]. Someone has ...read more

    The witness of the apostles to the Resurrection challenges us to face the mystery of our own existence and life, and adopt a way of life that would inspire others at our own funerals.

    Monday of Easter Week Gaudium et Spes Fifty-one days. What a difference fifty-one days can make, if Jesus Christ and the Spirit of Jesus Christ permeates those days.

    Changing our thoughts and focusing on our true identity in Christ can transform our lives. By adopting the teachings of Jesus, we can change our story.

    Let's talk about something real. You know how we sometimes get stuck in our heads, replaying the same old stories? Like that time you messed up in front of everyone, or when you didn't make the team, or when you felt like you didn't fit in. We all have those stories, right? But here's the thing, ...read more

    God adopts us into His family through Jesus, offering true belonging and purpose beyond our natural ties, inviting everyone to a place at His table.

    Have you ever noticed how the family refrigerator becomes a gallery of grace? Smudged fingerprints. Crayon drawings. Photos held up by a magnet that looks like a banana. Report cards with coffee stains. A wedding invitation tucked next to a grocery list. That door tells a story. We want to belong. ...read more

    Sons Or Slaves? (Trinity Sunday 2024)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on May 23, 2024
     | 911 views

    Did you notice what Paul did in this text? Paul speaks about the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit as he reminds that if we are God’s children, then we are also heirs---joint heirs because we are adopted sons and daughters of God through what Jesus did for us on the cross.

    SONS OR SLAVES? Text: Romans 8:14 – 17 Rom 8:12-17 So then, brothers and sisters, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— (13) for if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,271 views

    God invites us to ask Him, and we will receive (Matthew 7:7). But why does He sometimes not answer our prayers? This sermon series explains several possibilities for why God does not grant our prayers.

    Prayer is an essential part of the Christian life and an excellent means of communication with our Heavenly Father. We can express our deepest longings, fears, joys, and hopes through prayer, seek God's guidance and help and intercede for others. However, sometimes it seems God is not answering ...read more

    As Paul begins his letter to the Ephesians, he tells us four things that we are in Jesus Christ. We are blessed, chosen, adopted, and sealed in Jesus Christ. The sermon also has suggestions for illustrations.

    There are many times in life in which your standing affects what you say. For example, if someone who is better than you, at let’s say bowling, really beats you and then tells you that you are actually really good (although you had a lot of gutter balls), you can feel insulted. Or, when a single ...read more

     | 14,088 views

    If you had 40 days to live what would you do with your life? God gives the Ninevites this opportunity and their response is something we can adopt for ourselves.

    THE BUCKET LIST! What would you do if you knew you had 40 days to live? This question is not totally without some foundation in our life because many of us have gone to the doctor’s office and received news that turned out to be life transforming.

    This sermon focuses on Jesus' calling of Levi (Matthew) and the legalistic attitudes that people often adopt about who is worthy of God's forgiveness and who is not.

    [Reading Mark 2:13-17] In today’s passage out of the book of Mark, we don’t find Jesus throwing a birthday party for a prostitute, but we do find him hanging out with some unsavory characters called tax collectors and other sinners because that is really what Jesus would do and that is what Jesus ...read more
