    Are You Religious Or Not?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 29, 2024
     | 464 views

    Jesus, in the Gospel, enumerates the evil we must avoid, or repent of if we haven’t avoided it. It’s like a to-do list from a modern person’s daily schedule, isn’t it?

    Twenty-Second Sunday in Course 2024 Those who have known me as a preacher for any length of time also know that I am not a big fan of the clerics who put our Lectionary together.

    Mozart was a great musician, but a terrible philosopher.

    Tenth Sunday in Course 2024 The great composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is quoted as saying “I pay no attention whatever to anybody's praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.” It seems appropriate to apply this statement to our first reading today, because the original man, whom we ...read more

    This sermon tells of the buried treasure inside of you, your own understanding, knowledge, and God’s truth. You should share your treasure with others and bring others to Him so when the end comes, we will all live in the kingdom of heaven.

    Matthew 13:44 – 52 reads, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, which, when he had found one ...read more
