    Like Jesus and Stephen, Pope Benedict's words are rejected by a world that cannot admit its need to be changed from within.

    April 19, 2010 Caritas in Veritate The secular world doesn’t get it. In fact, the leaders of society have rarely gotten it in any age, because they don’t understand what people really want.

    A sermon linking themes of Remembrance Sunday and Holy Communion - an uncommon combination in English Free churches

    This evening is something rather unusual in our church. Very rarely has our calendar so fallen that we celebrate Holy Communion on Remembrance Sunday.

     | 2,671 views

    The wisdom of every age considers the Catholic faith a folly. The only promise Christ made about this life is that we would be blessed through the agency of persecution.

    Thursday of the 22nd Week in Course 2018 St. Donatian of Africa The wisdom of any secular age considers the Christian faith to be folly. The reason for this is that the wisdom of a given secular age is focused on how to attain pleasure, status or power. It is essentially centered on the ...read more

    It is not only about opening the front door for Christ but closing the side doors from satan is also of paramount importance!

    Side doors! Ephesians 5:15 “Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise..” Nestled in the midst of open fields, situated in the outskirts of the city, the simple, elegant, white colored duplex building was certainly gorgeous compared to the multi-hued houses all ...read more

    Yes, God plants the seed that is His Word in the heart of a person that is entwined with thorns, that is the cares and riches of this world. Well, what do we do? We’ve got to get rid of the thorns

    THORNS! 'And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares, and riches, and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.' -- Luke 8:14.

    based on 6 ratings
     | 28,545 views

    Don’t get the idea that to serve God you have to be a minister, or a missionary, or on the staff of some Christian organization. Every job, if it is done in the power of the Holy Spirit, is a sacred job.

    Introduction We’re preaching through the Book of Proverbs. A human proverb is a short sentence based on long experience, but these are short sentences based on something better than long experience. They’re based on the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, as given to Solomon. Now, today I ...read more

  • Understanding Religious Fundamentalism

    Contributed by Robert Sickler on Mar 12, 2015
     | 3,257 views

    The United States has a very long history of unsuccessful conflicts with Islamic fundamentalists. The reason is that the only person who can really understand the dedication of a religious fundamentalist is another religious fundamentalist.

    UNDERSTANDING RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISM ILLUSTRATION THE GATHERS There was a very wise man who one day decided to journey to a neighboring city with three of his followers. They were not long into their journey when they came upon a man picking berries. In his quest to get the largest and best ...read more

  • "Had Been With Jesus”

    Contributed by Bubot Parago on Nov 10, 2018

     | 6,461 views

    I believe that the propensity of our faith in the Gospel is to move us to boldly speak without compromise and obey to do what we have seen and heard so that we might speak.

    I. had been with Jesus, GIVES US BOLDNESS: “They saw the boldness of Peter and John…” (v13) Free From Fear This is true courage which comes by faith. Yes; it is this boldness which comes by faith which makes men like Peter and John’s “...I will not fear,” just like David, “though the earth be ...read more
