Covid-19, Brexit, climate change. The world today seems very fragile. But at Christmas we remember not only that Jesus came 2000 years ago but also that he will come again. When he does, he will establish a kingdom that will last forever.

Each year, the Oxford English Dictionary identifies a word as its ‘word of the year.’ But this year, the Oxford English Dictionary was unable to. There were just too many new words in this ‘unprecedented’ year to be able to pick one. The word ‘unprecedented’ would be my word of the year. When ...read more

Give God What Is His (October 22, 2017).

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020

Why were the Pharisees wanting to try to trick Jesus? The reason why they wanted to try and trick Jesus was because Jesus’s authority rivaled their own! In trying to force Jesus to choose a side, they hoped to get Jesus to incriminate Himself.

GIVE GOD WHAT IS HIS Text: Matthew 22:15 - 22 How many times have you heard someone say something like, “I only have to do two things, pay taxes and die”? Now they even have a new tax added on which is called by some a “death tax” which means that they tax the estate that is on by a ...read more

The Way Of The Cross

Contributed by Dawn Duryea on Mar 4, 2024

In today’s Gospel reading, Peter responds to Jesus’ announcement that the Messiah will have to suffer and die by denying the cross. Peter is in essence denying the truth of this teaching – that the Messiah must suffer and by extension, his disciples.

Last week we heard about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness right after his Baptism. That’s the way it feels sometimes – you just make a decision and then things happen that immediately bring your decision into question. This wilderness, of course, is metaphorical and now we find ourselves in ...read more

Risking It All

Contributed by Andrew Drummond on Nov 13, 2008

We say God is all-powerful, but when push comes to shove are we ready to put all our faith in Him? Is believing in God a risk?

President John F. Kennedy once said, “There are risks and costs to a program of action. But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction.” History is strewn with people who took risks and in so doing they changed the course of history. It is something we don’t like ...read more
