    A God we chew on in bread, a God who gets involved in refugee camps and broken marriages - this is the bread of life who comes down from heaven

    Why is it that we have mass as our main act of worship every Sunday without fail, two opportunities to go to mass every Sunday, another two opportunities every Thursday and Friday, and communion from the reserved sacrament every Monday.

    Peter And Easter

    Contributed by James Hickman on Mar 19, 2016
     | 7,340 views

    How did Peter greet the first Easter? His failure before the crucifixion may have kept him from fully appreciating what Easter meant. Using the clues given in the gospels and elsewhere, the sermon discusses how Jesus dealt with Peter's failure and fear.

    Peter and Easter Luke 24:12 Though the women told and retold the story of their experience at the empty tomb, the Eleven and the other disciples didn't believe them. It was just too incredible. Yet, Peter seems to have decided something must have happened at the tomb and determined to find out ...read more

    The New Passover Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Apr 15, 2025
     | 1,033 views

    The Twelve along with Jesus joined them in an upper room to celebrate the final Passover and inaugurate the first Communion. Depicted in Mark 14:17-26, in two ways we see that the New Passover began with 1) The Final Passover (Mark 14:17–21) and concludes with 2) The First Communion (Mark 14:22–26)

    Mark 14:17–26. 17And when it was evening, he came with the twelve. 18And as they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me.” 19They began to be sorrowful and to say to him one after another, “Is it I?” 20He said to ...read more

    God has given us the freedom to accept or reject his Grace. God makes this offer because He loves us. He loves us unconditionally. He doesn’t love us because we’re perfect. He loves us in spite of the fact we’re not perfect.

    Maybe you try to live a good life, maybe you even try to live a godly life. Maybe you try your hardest to remain faithful, to be an obedient disciple of Jesus. Maybe sometimes that is easier said than done. ---- Maybe its safe for me to assume that we all seek to at least keep the 10 ...read more
