    Zechariah's Seventh Vision: Wickedness Removed Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on May 16, 2022
     | 2,987 views

    This vision of a woman in a basket constitutes a promise from God to His people to remove wickedness from their midst. The previous vision (#6) was about removing individual rebels. This vision is the removal of the wicked system energizing sin.

    Today we come to one of the strangest passages in Scripture. It is recorded in Zechariah 5:5-11. Here Zechariah sees a vision of a basket, a woman in the basket, and two women with wings carrying the basket to Babylon. What does the basket represent? What about the woman in the basket? Are the two ...read more

    Contributed by David Owens on Mar 7, 2016
     | 5,224 views

    In this sermon, we examine the second four Beatitudes from the Sermon on the Mount to discover the characteristics of a servant.

    Introduction: A. How many of you have been to an art museum? 1. Do you run through an art gallery, or do you walk slowly and thoughtfully? 2. To really appreciate art, you have to take your time and contemplate the masterpiece. 3. For example, let’s consider Leonardo De Vinci’s ...read more

    An Audience Of One Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 1, 2023

     | 3,277 views

    This passage of Scripture teaches us that when we pray to the Lord, and even give monetarily, that it is to be done entirely for Him and not as a public display for others. Every act of worship is to be seen only by an audience of One.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “An Audience of One,” based on a song by Christian music artist Big Daddy Weave. Allow me to share some of the lyrics of this song: “I come on my knees, to lay down before You; bringing all that I am, longing only to know You. Seeking Your face, and not ...read more

    In the beatitudes, Jesus painted a portrait of a servant leaving us a clear picture of the heart attributes and actions that will enable us to be a servant like Jesus.

    Introduction: A. How many of you have been to an art museum? Most, if not all of us, right? 1. When you visit an art museum, do you run through the gallery, or should you walk slowly and thoughtfully? 2. To really appreciate art, you have to take your time and contemplate the ...read more

    State Of The Heart Worship

    Contributed by Brian Atwood on Dec 5, 2005
    based on 8 ratings
     | 2,680 views

    Why some people worship Jesus (the Wisemen) and some don’t (Herod).

    The difference between those who worship Jesus and those who do not is the state of their heart. Herod did not want Jesus worshiped. He desired no rival to his position and power. The wisemen on the other hand were anxious to worship the newborn king. When you examine the hearts of the wisemen ...read more

    The Ministry Of The Church

    Contributed by Jim Erwin on Dec 29, 2010
     | 3,798 views

    The ministry of the church includes signs and wonders (the easy part) and also witnessing (the hard part).

    The Ministry of the Church Acts 5:12-42 THE EASY PART: WONDERS AND SIGNS (5:12-16) The church triumphed over Satan. They were still: Unified (5:12) Magnified (5:13) Multiplied (5:14) - the first mention of women coming to salvation in Acts. Wonders and Signs authenticated the ministry of the ...read more

     | 3,149 views

    Our worship in the Eucharist must bring together what we believe with the way we pray, and reflect both Ultimate Truth and Beauty.

    April 13, 2009 Sacramentum Caritatis As we sit in the warm glow of Resurrection Day, we are invited to reflect on the connection between what we believe and how we pray. We believe that Jesus rose from the dead, that He conquered sin and death, and that we who eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and ...read more

    Paul was accused by Jewish Christians of watering down the Christian message ... making it more appealing to Gentiles (non-Jewish Christians). Paul preached that many of the religious laws observed by the Jews for centuries did not need to be followed.

     | 3,608 views

    The Pope’s new encyclical fits well with the Exodus account of a people oppressed and needing growth and development, but enslaved by a culture of death.

    Caritas in Veritate Monday of 15th week in Course July 13, 2009 It is providential, perhaps, that we have in today’s readings all the elements for talking about the role of faith in society.

    The Horror Of Violence Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 7, 2009
     | 3,934 views

    Jesus was, in fact, nonviolent, even when he used force to expel the merchants who desecrated the Temple. Violence is incompatible with human development.

    Feast of Dedication of St. John Lateran November 9, 2009 Let’s confront a misconception about today’s Gospel, and that has to do with Jesus and violence. What Jesus did to the moneychangers and pigeon salesmen who had coopted the Court of the Gentiles was to clean them out. He used force to ...read more
