    On the eve of the Protestant Revolution/reformation, there was both piety and corruption in the Church.

    Thursday of the 22nd Week in Course 2017 St. Paul’s prayer for the Colossians, and for us, is simple and yet profound: “that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, to lead a life worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every ...read more

    The sermon describes the church at Corinth which is a church gone wild, but despite its wayward ways it is still a church that has grace, gifts, and guarantees.

    1 Corinthians 1: 1-9. The Church Gone Wild 1. First let us consider some of the dysfunction's in the church at Corinth. A. One might say they are the “The Church Gone Wild" B. People are fighting over power C. They abuse the sacraments, they sleep around ...read more

    Looking To Jesus Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,557 views

    The New Testament never requires sacrifices or dreams or visions as either the means or the indicator of spirituality. . . If we focus on Jesus and His word, we will remain anchored in truth and humility

    16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. 18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility ...read more

    A quick look at the differences between lust and adultery in America and in Muslim countries. No copywrt, feel free to edit or add too however you like. I am not an expert, so please forgive and bring to my attention any mistakes. Thanks.

    We can learn several lessons from the Muslim world, from their mistakes and from their successes too. One such mistake and success is adultery, one of The Ten Commandments. The muslims take lust and adultery very seriously. Compared to some of us Americans they follow Jesus’s command better ...read more

    Take the shot. You might score a goal, but do the good whether you succeed or not.

    On this third Sunday in “ordinary time,” we read (and many parishes sing) the Introit from Ps 96, “sing a new song to the Lord; sing to the Lord all the earth. In his presence are majesty and splendor, strength and honor in his holy place.” Wow! An unchurched American, reading that, might ask ...read more

    What does God say about marriage?

    The pastor was visiting the fourth-grade Sunday School class to talk about marriage as part of the lesson. He asked the class, "What does God say about marriage?" Immediately one boy replied, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." Well, friends, that is not exactly a proper ...read more

    The confusion of tongues God visited on his people at the tower of Babel is reversed at Pentecost.

    I have to begin this sermon with a confession. I have a weakness for puns. One or two of you may have noticed it, and as faults go it’s not as bad as some. But this week, I have to admit, I gave into temptation. The title of this sermon is a pun. Because I’m not going to talk about what most ...read more

    The Good Shepherd And How To Get More Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 22, 2017

    Pray especially for holy priests, brothers and sisters. Pray for those who are preparing for or struggling in marriage. And pray for those who have chosen to remain unmarried in a celibate state, and for those who are trying to run from the divine call.

    For many decades this day has rightly been called “Good Shepherd Sunday,” because both of our New Testament readings speak of Jesus as Shepherd of our souls, Shepherd of the One Flock, the Church. Both of these precious proclamations have Old Testament roots. Let’s start with the story of Abraham ...read more

    The Gospel Succeeds Even In An Age Of Fecklessness Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 11, 2020
     | 2,741 views

    We need to continue on the path we were set on by Jesus long ago–the path to holiness. That means giving up everything of this world that keeps us from imaging Jesus and Mary.

    Tuesday of the First Week in Course 2020 Saint Mark gets right to the point, just like the high priest Eli. But Saint Mark gets the whole picture, and Eli does not. Mark’s Gospel is designed to demonstrate to his Roman audience–and us–that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and Messiah. Look how few ...read more
