    Exodus, Part 2 Series

     | 5,908 views

    Persecution is a fact - but your response is yours to choose! This is exactly what we see from the Israelites in spite of unbelievably cruel persecution. If God would protect them, can't we rely on that promise for ourselves?

    Exodus, Part 2 Exodus 1:8-22 Introduction - Exodus is an incredible study of God's faithfulness to man -- It is also a great encouragement to see man's ability to be faithful to God - The series title is "Redeemed to Worship" -- From this day forward, it is my prayer that title would stick to ...read more

    Christ: Our Saviour And Our Example

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Apr 5, 2012
     | 6,115 views

    A short talk for Good Friday. I am deeply challenged by Peter reminding us that when suffering for his faith, Jesus did not retaliate and made no threats; and we’re called to follow his example!

    When I was at school there was no such thing as an anti-bullying policy, and I think I was on the receiving end of a large amount of abuse, mainly due to my surname, Pidgeon, and my painfully thin physique. As I look back I think I eventually adopted my own personal anti-bullying policy and it went ...read more

    With the Church under attack, what must we do?

    33rd Sunday in Course 2013 You Will be Hated by All But Not a Hair of Your Head Will Perish It was a cool November morning and the Catholics of San Antonio were riding high.

    When we recognize the presence of Jesus, it produces a change. To have the presence of Jesus is to be willing to endure rejection and persecution.

    Where Is Jesus—Jesus Is Here Luke 22:47-22:62 4/13/2013 Palm Sunday OT Zech 9:9-10 Luke 19:28-48 If someone were to run up to ask you and say, “where Is Jesus.” What would you say. How many would say, what on earth is wrong with you? He’s seated at the right hand of ...read more

    God allows thorns in our lives to refine us, to keep us humble, and to be sure He gets the glory for all we do.

    Children. They really are precious, and I really do love them, but the simple truth is, I have a really hard time being around them for any extended period of time. Which for me is anything over about three minutes.  I’m not sure what it is, maybe it’s the long running around ...read more

    Even in the face of persecution, God still delivers His favor on the church! In 2013, we must stand strong and tall, persevering constantly as we seek God’s favor.

    God’s Favor Is Required Acts 15:1-21 Introduction Two weeks ago we defined our purpose for each of us to pray over and consider -- Our purpose is: “Connecting people with Jesus Christ and each other” Last week we examined the “how” of accomplishing our ...read more

    Hanukah

    Hanukah speaks of persecution followed by the victory of righteousness over evil and the joy that follows.

    Hanukah (Daniel 8:9-14, John 10:22) 1. Jewish humorists compare Christmas to Hanukah: Christmas is one day, same day every year. December 25. Jews love Dec. 25th. It's another paid day off work. We go to movies and out for Chinese food, and Israeli dancing. Chanukah is eight days. It starts the ...read more

    Jesus--Crazy Or Victorious?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 18, 2023
     | 882 views

    It appears here that the relatives of Jesus want to have Him committed to a mental ward.

    Saturday of the 2nd week in Course 2023 Today’s Gospel is one of the shortest readings in the Lectionary. If you don’t pay attention, it’s over before you can grasp it. Why? Mark’s community of Rome was under almost constant persecution. So he took mostly Matthew’s Gospel and abridged it, ...read more

    An Outline Of Acts 5:17-42

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 6, 2021
     | 3,009 views

    The apostles were taken into custody another time and stood trial the next day. Compare what Peter said, and what Gamaliel said, as responses to the charges! This outline is revised from one I used in preaching a miniseries on Acts several years ago.

    Introduction: the apostles were healing people, through the power of God, so much that even people from outside Jerusalem were bringing their sick folks there for healing. Verses 12-16 give a brief summary of these activities. All of this no doubt led to the high priest and others taking action to ...read more

    If even a corrupt judge will wither under incessant pleading, can we not expect the most just of judges, God, will give us what we really need?

    29th Sunday in Course 2022 We should all remember the story of the Israelites wandering in the desert around Sinai for forty years. That was God’s way of purifying them before bringing them to the land of promise, Canaan. As they moved around, they ran into various other nomadic tribes, and one of ...read more

    Forgive, "or Else" Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 23, 2019
     | 3,685 views

    The culture itches to persecute the Catholic Church, and a small number of renegade priests and bishops who abused their authority have provided the excuse.

    Tuesday of the Third Week in Lent 2019 It’s often been said by commentators that the “ten thousand talents” that the Gospel servant owed his master was a sum greater than the gross national product of Palestine in New Testament times. Jesus is clearly exaggerating for effect here, something that ...read more
