     | 761 views

    God has joy in that fidelity He enjoys within the Blessed Trinity of love and faithfulness.

    Saturday of Second Week in Lent 2024 Our Scripture from the prophet Micah comes in the middle of a chapter that begins inauspiciously, “what misery is mine.” And it goes on to tell the tale of fruitless fields, uninhabited lands, roads populated by robbers and muggers, courts led by judges that ...read more

    A retelling of Palm Sunday as narrated by Apostle John

    Today, we will be exploring the story of Palm Sunday as told by the Apostle John. The main idea we will be focusing on is the question of who Jesus is in our lives. Is He our King? And if so, what does that mean for us? Let's start by going back to John 12:12-36. In this passage, we see that Jesus ...read more

    The most devastating event in anyone's life is the departure of God's mercy. However, when God's mercy is present, we can have confidence and assurance that God will flawlessly perfect everything that concerns us.

    Today, we will explore the comforting truth found in Psalm 138:8, which declares, "The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever; do not forsake the work of your hands." This psalm, penned by David, reveals his unwavering faith in God's ability to bring ...read more

    Servant Leadership Involves Pain--Even In Election Season

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 16, 2024
     | 363 views

    One of the two major parties has made abortion this voting cycle their preeminent priority. Let's look at the morality behind that divide.

    There is something almost humorous in today’s Gospel pericope. The story has come down to us in two versions. Both place this incident right after Jesus predicted His passion and death for the third time. St. Matthew’s original version pictures Salome, mother of James and John, making the request. ...read more

     | 403 views

    The world turned upside down. Over and over again did this drama repeat.

    Friday of the First Week of Advent 2024 G. K. Chesterton was fond of writing how history seems to turn the plans of humans upside down and backwards. He tells the story of Constantine summoning the bishops to judge the teachings of Arius, in the year 325. The priest Arius taught that Jesus is Son ...read more

    Christians are taught to love one another. However, what is it that causes us to love one another? How shall we love? John gives us a glimpse of the love we are to have in this brief letter to a man named Gaius.

For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, as indeed you are walking in the truth. I have no ...read more

    Has western culture gone too far for redemption? Scripture would indicate that our society is flirting with divine judgement.

    “I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’ Then I said, ‘Here I am! Send me.’ And he said, ‘Go, and say to this people: ‘“Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’ Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears ...read more

    A Preacher For This Generation

     | 2,260 views

    A call for us who preach to determine that we are delivering the message our God has given and not speaking to make people feel good about themselves.

    “‘Do not preach’—thus they preach— ‘one should not preach of such things; disgrace will not overtake us.’ Should this be said, O house of Jacob? Has the LORD grown impatient? Are these his deeds? Do not my words do good to him who walks uprightly? But lately my people have risen up as an ...read more

    There are few places in God’s Word where one can find a better or briefer characterization of a Christian than here.

    CHARACTERISTIC OF A CHRISTIAN 1 Peter 1:1-2 INTRO: Many times the true greatness and splendor of a New Testament passage lies not only on the surface or in that which is actually said.

    Beyond The Fear Of Infection Series

    based on 24 ratings
     | 3,359 views

    The courage of solidarity leads us to stand above the fear of infection and touch the other in his suffering and to lift him out of exclusion, loss of relationship and death. Then we become witnesses to the power of God in the world.

    The gospel passage Mark 1.40-45 shows how God relates himself to the human infirmities of body and mind. The story shows the possibility of human suffering under physical and mental infirmities. The story brings us clarity through the two opposing behaviours. God tries to bring healing into such a ...read more
