    What Is The Bread Of Life?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 14, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,520 views

    The passage we read from the sixth chapter of John’s Gospel has from earliest times been used to explain the orthodox teaching on the Eucharist.

    We all know what a eunuch is, and such men were common in the various courts of Biblical times. What was valuable about them to the kings of the Middle East is that they could be trusted–if they were trustworthy at all–even with the kings’ wives and children. There would be no question of bad blood ...read more

    Are Churches Nurturing 1 Thessalonians 2:1-8 As we read through Paul’s epistle today, and dwell on just what he is trying to tell us, we find some areas of the church that just might need a little work. You see whether overtly or not churches for the most part are viewed in terms of success by ...read more

    2nd Sunday after Epiphany 2018 Extraordinary Form It’s been almost thirteen years since Carolyn and I spent nearly two weeks in the Holy Land on pilgrimage, but many of the memories continue to enrich my study, prayer and preaching. The visit to Cana figures large in those recollections, and every ...read more

    Thursday of 23rd Week in Course 2018 St. John Chrysostom Today I am celebrating the sixteenth anniversary of the ordination of the diaconate class of 2002, and therefore my own ordination.

    Fruit

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Jun 10, 2020
     | 5,296 views

    There can be no fruit until there are roots. The fruit is a result of the roots. No roots, no fruit.

    How would you define fruit? What is fruit? W.E. Vines says, “Fruit is the visible expressions of power working inwardly and invisibly. The character of the fruit being evidence of the character of the power producing it.” God has some established principles, and this is one of them I want to share ...read more

    Tuesday of 5th Week in Lent 2019 St. Waltrude A number of years ago I was privileged to teach a speech course to some deacons in training, and I asked them to speak for a few minutes on their thoughts on the realization that they were mortal–that the life they now lead would end.

     | 2,610 views

    In this day of conflict and disunion, we need to recover this sense that we are all one family of God, to dedicate ourselves to peaceful resolution of conflicts.

    Tuesday of the 16th Week in Course 2019 St. Liborius I suppose like many Baby Boomers one of the most memorable films of my lifetime was the Cecile B DeMille epic The Ten Commandments. It was his second stab at commemorating the Exodus, and his only one both with sound and color. Who could forget ...read more

     | 4,260 views

    Some Christian researchers have said that at least 30% of new churches that start fail to grow qualitatively or quantitatively due to the ineffectiveness of leadership. Most of Christ’s three years of ministry were given to the training of His disciples.

    How To Disciple Leaders in a New Church Learning Objectives 1. The students will explain why it is important to train, disciple, and equip leaders in a new church. 2. The students will write a short paper on how Christ discipled His followers so that the church would grow qualitatively and ...read more

    51st in a series from Ephesians. Husbands are to love their wives in the sawm way Christ loved the church.

    As I was preparing my message this week, I came across this definition of marriage: Marriage is when you agree to spend the rest of your life sleeping in a room that’s too warm, beside someone who’s sleeping in a room that’s too cold.

    Psalms 27, 37, And 84 Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Mar 7, 2020
     | 7,128 views

    Passages in different locations are often interconnected in such a way that one avenue of thought springs from another. Although these psalms were not written with the intent that they be interconnected by us today, they collectively express a message relevant today.

    For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more
