     | 8,481 views

    This message is about Repentrance - what it means in Scripture and how it starts with the heart versus the mouth. True repentance is not just saying you're sorry , it's actually being sorry and willing to stop and change.

    What It Means To Repent Scripture: Matthew 3:1-2; 4:17; Mark 6:12; Acts 2:38; 3:19 Second Chronicles 7:14 says, “If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their ...read more

    Meaningful And Meaningless Worship Series

    This sermon focuses on Solomon's somewhat cynical view of Temple worshipers along with his corrective: to "stand in awe of God" and how it applies to our modern day church services.

    I would like to open today’s sermon with a question. Why do we even bother to go to church? I imagine if I was to ask everybody, I would probably get different answers. I think some go out of tradition. Some go because they are feeling pressure from a spouse. Others might be feeling a sense ...read more

    Equal In Dignity, Diverse In Function Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,888 views

    In our worship, we are all equal in dignity, but, as Jesus gave different ministries to his disciples, in and out of worship, we differ in function and service; that is the meaning of hierarchy.

    Solemnity of Peter and Paul June 29, 2009 The readings for this solemnity help us to understand how it is that Christ left us–as a gift–a hierarchical Church. I was reading some fairly recent articles in Pastoral Music recently, and came across a rather angry one from a nun who was complaining ...read more

    Can you sing longer than you can listen to a sermon? Are you hoping he cuts the sermon short?

    I posted on FaceBook a video by Todd White that is nearly two hours long. It amazes me that people willingly sit to hear him that long. I am always hearing people complaining about long-winded preachers. I had one deacon that felt seventeen minutes was good enough and if you cannot get it done in ...read more

    Why did all these men and women give up their lives instead of pledging fealty to the insane political rulers of the day, whether they be Roman emperors or a Nazi dictator?

    Friday of the Eighteenth Week in Course 2025 I call this the week of martyrs. Jakob Gapp, a Marianist Austrian priest, had boldly preached love for all races and rejection of Nazism since 1938. He was beheaded this week in 1943 by the Gestapo. Today we celebrate Sister Teresa Benedicta of the ...read more
