Defending The Poor Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 3, 2013

God cares for the poor and oppressed; one of the most prominent themes in the Bible is our response toward the poor. It is the duty of God’s people to provide for those in need as best as we can with compassion, following the example of Nehemiah.

Nehemiah has resisted outward attacks, but now there’s corruption within. It’s been said that, “No test of leadership is more revealing than the test of opposition” (Boice). Nehemiah wasn’t expecting opposition from his own people. The outcry of the poor reached his ...read more

Sing, Sing, Sing Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 4, 2021

How do we live in harmony? The secret is in the Lord’s Prayer, the beautiful prayer of the end-times that we recite in one voice every time we gather for Liturgy.

Jesus Is My Warrant

Contributed by William R. Nabaza on Aug 11, 2018

"Scandalous Grace"

Contributed by Ken Sauer on Mar 4, 2016

Where do you "fit in" to the parable of the Prodigal Son"?
