  • The Two Meanings Of "End"

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 3, 2013
     | 2,301 views

    There are two meanings to "end," and as we reach the conclusion of a liturgical year, we must plan for both.

    One of the legends circulating that purports to prove the superiority of the new liturgical calendar and new lectionary is that in the Extraordinary Form, we hear Scripture readings that really belong to the beginning of the year, not the end. Let’s be honest. We aren’t talking about ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 15, 2018
     | 3,374 views

    We are in danger in the U.S. Church today because we have in many ways lost that attitude of reverence, humble fear, toward God.

    Eighteenth Sunday After Pentecost 2018 Extraordinary Form Every morning all Catholic clergy, and thousands of lay Catholics, pray the Benedictus prayer of Zechariah. It’s the prayer John the Baptist’s father vocalized when his voice was restored after John’s birth. There is a line in this ...read more

  • 1st John Series

     | 1,275 views

    the word TEST

    February 19, 2022 None of the 3 letters assigned to John bear his name, but early church records and a thematic connection to the Gospel of John suggests that the author is John “the beloved”.

     | 1,555 views

    Instead of preparing for battle, Belshazzar threw a party..... It would be his last.

    June 10, 2023 Our story today only covers the last night of king Belshazzar’s life, so all we know of him is what extra-biblical history and archaeology tells us. After Nebuchadnezzar’s death there were 4 more Babylonian kings, the last of which was Nabonidus. Belshazzar was Nabonidus’ son. ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Bates on Mar 17, 2024

    For all of us there's only two spiritual paths to choose from: righteousness (sinless & God's way) or unrighteousness (sinful & Satan's way)? Which path are you following today?

    Lets all please read together Jeremiah 5:1-9 CSB 1 Roam through the streets of Jerusalem. Investigate; search in her squares. If you find one person, any who acts justly, who pursues faithfulness, then I will forgive her. 2 When they say, “As the Lord lives,”they are swearing falsely. 3 Lord, ...read more

  • Do You Want The Church To Grow?

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Jan 20, 2020
     | 2,534 views

    This is a sermon on evangelism that is tied to Jesus's call to the apostle Andrew. Andrew 1) grows in discipleship and 2) grows the church. The sermon tells people that they can be excited and happy about their faith, and share it with other people.

    Do you want the church to grow? Andrew wasn’t the popular kid in class. His name is only mentioned in twelve verses in the Bible, and eight of those describe him as "Peter's little brother." Even though he was one of the first two or three followers of Jesus, Peter was still the ...read more

  • Never Surrender Your Authenticity

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Apr 6, 2020
     | 2,144 views

    Jesus says let "yes" be yes and "no" be no. Righteousness must exceed the Pharisees. They surrendered their authenticity to appear more religious. This sermon is an encouragement to live in the opposite manner.

    Never Surrender Your Authenticity Counterfeiters make over a billion dollars a year, making fake designer clothes and handbags. That billion is from the United States, not the rest of the world. These are not cheap knock offs from street vendors; they are well-made fakes. There's an ...read more
