One More Rung To Climb

Contributed by Craig Benner on May 21, 2011

Nuetral does not exist in the life of a christian. You are either growing and maturing or you are decaying, declining, and dying. The apostle Paul gives us some insight so that we can measure where we are and where we are heading. Let's get climbing.

Fifth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year B-- Once Our Batteries Are Charged, We Can Do Service.

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 1, 2024

"Everyone is looking for you." Music to a co-dependent’s ears.

We hear in Mark 1:29 today that “Jesus entered the house of Simon [Peter] and Andrew.” A team of archaeologists have discovered this exact house in Capernaum made up of black basalt walls that are still in very good shape.

Jacob And His Slow Transformation

Contributed by Jung Lee on Jan 15, 2024

Today, we'll highlight three instances where Jacob stumbled because he chose to rely on himself and gave in to fear.

Jacob's life is a complex story that weaves together trust, deception, self-reliance, fear, and the guiding hand of God. His story reflects our own experiences, showing our challenges, triumphs, and the loving grace of God that guides us on our journey. Today, we'll highlight three ...read more

A Thorn In The Flesh

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 17, 2022

We know that God is able to heal, but sometimes we aren’t healed. This message looks at one possible reason why, as we examine an illness that the apostle Paul wrestled with for most of his Christian life - his "thorn in the flesh."

This evening we are going to look at a passage of Scripture that is related to the subject matter of healing. In the Scripture we discover that our God is a God of healing. He says in Exodus 15:26, “I am the Lord who heals you.” We also read that Jesus Christ, God’s Son, heals us as well, for ...read more

Gone Fishin'

Contributed by John Nadasi on Jan 29, 2003

This is a fun sermon to preach! God’s call extends from the ordinary (apostles) to the extraordinary (Jonah). Many times God calls us through the subtlety of invitation as in this text. We are invited to go and do likewise.
