    Have you prayed, and prayed, and there still seems to be no answer? Does it seem as if God is asleep, and absent from your cry? Don't give up, don't lose heart, don't quit now, but just keep praying until the answer comes.

    A group of male seminary students were gathered in the chapel one day. The dean of the seminary was challenging the students in the area of prayer. He instructed them to be careful what they asked God for. He said, "Men, don't ask God for a big church, because of the stress, problems and worries ...read more

  • Following Jesus –the Hardest Thing To Do

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 21, 2015
     | 4,901 views

    Jesus claimed that his death would draw people to God because he made the ultimate sacrifice. He gave his life for us, and that’s a powerful truth.

    Good morning boys and girls! How many of you have had to do something that wasn’t easy to do? What do you think is the hardest thing we would ever have to do? Well, one of the hardest things we have to do is to be a follower of Jesus. Following him is one of the best things we can do ...read more

  • How To Be A Priest

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 21, 2015
     | 4,303 views

    So how are we like priests? We are appointed by God. We sacrifice ourselves and our desires to God. We continually pray to God about the human condition.

    Each and every one of us can be a priest! Does that statement make sense to you? After all, when we hear the word “priest” we often think of the ordained clergy who preside at weddings, funerals, baptisms or weekly worship services. The truth is, we are all priests. Let me explain by ...read more

  • Loving Others As God Loves Us

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 22, 2015
     | 4,002 views

    We can ask Jesus to help us love the unlovable. We must always look for chances to show God’s love to others, even when it might be hard to do. We never know whose life Jesus may change because we showed his love.

    Good morning boys and girls! Your Sunday school teachers have told me that today you’re going to be talking about saints. Well, I’m going to talk to you about someone who is not a saint, but who certainly acted like one after he met Jesus. Let me start by asking you to use your ...read more

  • Praise The Lord, I Saw The Light!

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 23, 2015
     | 5,256 views

    We must follow God and start inviting ourselves and go out into the world and seek out others-just like Jesus and Zacchaeus sought each other out.

    There is a story about a fitness centre that was offering $1,000 to anyone who could show that they were stronger than the owner of the place. Here’s how it worked. The owner would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a glass, and then hand the lemon to the challenger. Anyone who ...read more

  • What Will Heaven Be Like

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 24, 2015
     | 4,744 views

    We are to continue being children of God here on earth so that we will be in his arms when we die. Those who are willing to give their lives to God now will find that God will be there for them when the journey of their earthly life is over.

    It’s not hard to tell that the church year is coming to an end. In fact, in a little more than three weeks, the season of Advent will start. The issues that have been placed before us in the last couple of weeks are about what comes next. Today, we focus on the resurrection. The emphasis on ...read more

  • Things Aren’t Always What They Seem To Be

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 25, 2015
     | 7,280 views

    We must make our brothers and sisters in Christ (as well as the lost) feel the real need to be a part of the worshipping community. If we are persecuted for our work, we can take comfort in the knowledge that in the end God will fashion eternity.

    Two gas company servicemen, a senior training supervisor and a young trainee, were out checking meters in a suburban neighborhood. They parked their truck at the end of the alley and worked their way to the other end. At the last house a woman looking out her kitchen window watched the two men as ...read more

  • God’s Love For The Hurting

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 26, 2015
     | 5,294 views

    We need to bring people to Jesus by being a Christ-like friend, by sharing what it means to follow Jesus, and by carrying thanks to Jesus in prayer. In the scene of children in the arms of a loving Jesus, there is a story to be told, lessons to be learned

    At first glance, this morning’s Gospel reading seems a little disjointed. It starts with a discussion about divorce and ends with a discussion about entering God’s kingdom like little children. While they seem to be disconnected, they really are connected. Let me try to ...read more

  • Jepthah-- A Hero Or A Zero?

    Contributed by Craig Benner on Mar 26, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,673 views

    Have you ever had a person in your life who made you wander if he was a good influence or a bad influence? There are things that have to be weighed out to make a right judgment. Some things may not be as they seem to the casual observer. God knows.

    JEPHTHAH- "whom God sets free" No time to be idle or enveloped in a pity party. Heb. 11:32 ¶ And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: Central Reading ...read more

  • God’s Cleaning Agent

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 27, 2015
     | 4,444 views

    We become part of God's family through baptism and the spiritual cleansing it gives us. Through the spiritual cleansing, we gain a new, child-like nature that allows us to be hopelessly dependent on Christ for salvation.

    I'm going to take you on a short walk down memory lane. Some of you may have heard of a singer/songwriter from the 1970s by the name of Ray Stevens. He was famous for writing and recording comedy songs such as "Bridget the Midget", "Ahab the Arab", "The Streak" and many others. He did record a few ...read more

  • Citizens Of Heaven

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 28, 2015
     | 6,944 views

    As we imitate Paul’s behaviour, and as we learn from the faith and life of our Christian brothers and sisters, the result is a community of people who resemble Christ. Jesus showed us what it’s like to be fully human and to be right with God.

    We are not citizens of the world. Is that a surprise? Not if you’re a Christian. Paul says in Philippians 3:15-21 that we do not belong to the environment in which we live. We live elsewhere. Our citizenship is in heaven. We need to know which realm we are citizens of, because the answer ...read more

  • God's Gift Of The Magi

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 30, 2015
     | 5,617 views

    The Magi were humbled by the state of reverence that they felt for the Christ Child. That, my friends, is the appropriate motivation for worship in our church services today. We need to put away our pride and worldly baggage and worship Christ sincerely.

    Well, the 12 days of Christmas are over for another season. All of the decorations are down and put away for another year, and the presents have been opened. The craziness of the Christmas season is over for the secular world, but here in the church, we have some more of the Christmas story to ...read more

  • The First Temptation Of Christ

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 31, 2015
     | 7,073 views

    Jesus was strengthened by his wilderness experience, and so are we. Jesus left the wilderness, called his disciples and started doing God’s work. We can also leave the wilderness and do God’s work, all the time being confident that we can face temptation.

    Have you ever faced temptation in your life? Each and every one of us has faced life’s temptations at some point in time, and we are always faced with the issue of how we are going to face them. Even Jesus was tempted, as we have heard in today’s Gospel reading. We can be tempted at any ...read more

  • Your Mission, Should You Choose To Accept It…

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 1, 2015
     | 9,959 views

    Our mission, should we choose to accept it, is to proclaim the good news of the kingdom to our world today. That does not mean that we have to seek an active role in ministry. We are all given gifts from God to use in our mission.

    Today, we are celebrating two special occasions in the life of our Diocese-Mission Sunday, and Anglican Church Women Sunday. Rev. Judy is celebrating Missions Sunday with another church in our Diocese this morning, as she has been asked to explain to that congregation what her role as a ...read more

  • Our Mission From God

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 2, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,858 views

    As Christians, we are also on a mission-a mission from God. That mission is expressed throughout the Bible, including the Beatitudes. This mission statement is a rulebook or a map for our Christian life. The Beatitudes are the good news of grace.

    Those of you who have watched TV crime shows such as “CSI” or “Columbo” know that the main character is always on a mission-namely, to solve a crime. Also, anyone who has gone on a trip has also been on a mission-namely, to get to their destination. As Christians, we are ...read more
