    Servant Leadership Involves Pain--Even In Election Season

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 16, 2024
     | 339 views

    One of the two major parties has made abortion this voting cycle their preeminent priority. Let's look at the morality behind that divide.

    There is something almost humorous in today’s Gospel pericope. The story has come down to us in two versions. Both place this incident right after Jesus predicted His passion and death for the third time. St. Matthew’s original version pictures Salome, mother of James and John, making the request. ...read more

    A look at the religious groups of Jesus day and how they were affected by their culture (as might be): 1. Zealots 2.Phariasees 3. Saduccees 4. Scribes 5. Herodians 6. Essenes

    How would you like it if someone spit on you? In our cultural setting it would be a sign of disrespect, an attempt to shame and humiliate a person. But for some cultures, it has an entirely different meaning. I am reading a wonderful book entitled Christianity Rediscovered. It is written by a ...read more

    Here is a goal that everyone of us is called to work towards as a part of Christ’s body here on earth: to preach good news to the poor, to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, and to proclaim th

    I wonder how many people were here when we first sat down to work on a Parish Plan. I don’t think there were many of you around back then, though most were when we reviewed that plan a few years ago. But for those who weren’t it was one of the first things we did after I started here. But then that ...read more

    Hanging out with Jesus is the wat people can see Jesus on you. Peter and Johe let the HS lead them in word and deed.

    They had “hung out” with Jesus Acts 4 1-31 Last week we heard the first half of the story. We heard about a crippled man that had sat near the gate called Beautiful for close to 40 years. Peter and John are going up to the Temple and stop and heal this life long beggar. He goes with them into ...read more

    Peter And Cornelius: From Pronouncements To People

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 14, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,352 views

    Prejudice deals only with groups, not with persons. Peter had to get beyond outworn principles, and both he and Cornelius had to learn to give and receive what was needed. All need Christ.

    If you have to choose between principles and people, choose people! Do you agree? If it comes down to deciding whether to adhere to certain principles and thereby injure people; if it comes down to violating your beliefs or violating another person, what will you choose? The principle or the ...read more

    Every aspect of the Christian life -- salvation, sanctification (being cleansed and made holy), our home in heaven being made ready for us, everything -- is ours because Christ’s work is done. He is seated in the heavenlies at the right hand of God...

    The Spiritual Battle 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil ...read more

    After his victory in battle, Abraham's faith is tested to see if he will respond to blessing as well as adversity. This story asks us to evaluate how will we respond to God's blessings.

    Genesis 14:17–24 "After his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley). " "And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most ...read more

    In this series, we’re talking about being a countercultural community. What does that look like? Last week, we saw that the early church was committed to one another, they had crazy courage and a deep rooted spirit of compassion. Today we find four more

    Focusing on the importance of understanding properly the three cardinal Christian doctrines...by proper analysis of three Greek words used in New Testament "Oidate", "Ginosko" and "Epiginosko", which all have been translated as only "know" in English !!!

    KNOWING ABOUT “KNOWING”!!! Now this kind of title is bound to raise a few eyebrows much like the title “Prophesying about Prophecies” would do. Can we really prophesy about say Tribulation related prophecies contained in Rev 6-19 ...read more

    In this sermon you'll meet a hardline immigration official and then a not very nice racist. Then ... when they have had their say ... perhaps you will meet Jesus.
