    "God's Family....better Together" Series

    Contributed by David Henderson on Jun 20, 2017
     | 11,902 views

    If we trace God’s hand back to the book of Genesis and follow it through the OT we see God as the creator of two institutions. (1) The family and (2) the church. And we quickly realize that the two are very closely related.

    FAMILY MATTERS “God’s Family….Better Together” Acts 2:42-47 “I’m so glad I’m a part of the family of God, I’ve been washed in the fountain, cleansed by his blood, joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this side; I’m a part of the family, the family of God.” Have you heard that before? I certainly ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 734 views

    While John the Baptist offered forgiveness through baptism, Jesus offers us freedom from the power of sin and the continual presence of God through the Holy Spirit.

    Ever had a phone that's so old it barely works? You know, the kind that freezes every time you try to open an app? And then one day, you get an upgrade - a brand new phone that works perfectly. That's kind of like what Jesus offers us. We're all used to the idea of forgiveness, but Jesus offers us ...read more

    Better That Christ Go To The Father

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 28, 2022
     | 809 views

    As we enter this week before Pentecost, we are reminded today why Jesus told us it’s better for us that He go to the Father.

    Monday of 7th week in Easter Acts 19: 1-8/John 16: 29-33 I suspect that we are all like the early Christians, like Mary Magdalene, wanting to cling to Jesus, wanting to be able to touch him and see him and hear his voice speaking words of love and tenderness and reassurance. Especially now when ...read more

    The story of King Saul’s utter demise unfolds in 1 Samuel 15. The man who stood head and shoulders above all the people is imploding like a skyscraper building with the walls blown out.

    The bigger they are the harder they fall. It is dramatic to see a skyscraper building brought to the ground. Dynamite blows out the walls and the building collapses to the ground. What once filled the skyline becomes reduced to a pile of rubble. The story of King Saul’s utter demise unfolds in 1 ...read more

    Unlike any other nation, the Hebrews had a conviction, seared into their collective consciousness by the mighty deeds of God, that the one God, ruler of heaven and earth, had picked them out to be His special people.

    Monday of 2nd Week in Course 1 Sam 15: 16-23; Mark 2: 18-22 One of my friends who can’t attend daily Mass but devoutly reads the lessons each day was commenting on “how boring” the recent readings from Samuel are.

    Many of the exiles thought they were being punished for the sins of their ancestors.

    Saturday of the 19th week in course Human beings sure like to whine, don’t we? Something bad happens and we look around for someone to take responsibility, somebody to blame for our misfortunes.

    We look at the fall of King Saul. We see how he rationalized his sins by selective obedience, shifting blame, and subterfuge. Then we study the true nature of obedience and end with an enlightening story.

     | 8,938 views

    When we are faced with someone who thinks they are better than we are we try to rise above this through the reassurance that we would never treat anyone else the way they treat us. But with that kind of attitude, are we really any better?

    At one point in our lives, I am sure that we have all have come across someone that has an “I am better than everyone else, especially you” mentality. I myself have encountered this kind of attitude at multiple points throughout my life. I have experience it in the food service industry in which I ...read more
