    Fifteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Cycle A-- 15th Sunday, Year A --The Sower

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 17, 2020
     | 2,681 views

    It is the intuitive mind alone that can penetrate the essence and heart of a parable. Then it becomes a living reality, thoroughly relevant to one’s own life.

    “To throw alongside” a story with cryptic meaning is called a parable in Greek. In Zen Buddhism, a parable is like a “koan,” which is a spiritual inquiry using perplexing language intended to rouse a student’s innate wisdom-mind to apply it to their own life. As Rabbi Ibn Ezra said of parables, ...read more

    Anointed For Mission [lectionary 3c]

     | 7,128 views

    Leave the success of your life to a power greater than you. Just do the things you were anointed for. Let a power greater than you take care of the ‘how.’

    The theme in our Readings this Sunday is that the ‘opening of the Scriptures’ is consonant with ‘the opening of the eyes’. The use of physical seeing as a metaphor for spiritual insight is commonplace. Those that are blind(ed), are unable to read the Scriptures. E.g. Two young fish are swimming ...read more

    We can get so caught up in thinking about going to heaven that we forget to participate in the NOW. This lesson is intended to remind us that God is at work now, now just in the World to Come.

    1. I spent many years planning to “go to heaven and take many people with me.” a. As a result I have wasted a lot of time in the here and now. b. We have a “Both/And” Faith – it is BOTH about heaven AND about now. c. God is the Great “I AM” as well as the “I WAS” and the “I WILL BE”, all contained ...read more

    With the Passion staring Him in the face, we might ask, why should there be a parade? Why the waving of palms and shouting of hosannas? Didn't Jesus know what was going to happen?

    March 31, 1996 Matthew 21:1-11 We have followed Jesus during this Lenten Season as he sat by a well and talked with a Samaritan woman about living water and about worship. We have listened in the night hours on the housetop as he told Nicodemus, "You must be born again." We have ...read more

    Unseen Persons And Their Works Series

    Contributed by Felix Ishola on Mar 7, 2020
     | 3,993 views

    Effective faith involves being aware of the supernatural. It recognises that God Himself is a Spirit and that the most important things take place in the spirit realm.

    The bible shows us that there are unseen personalities and operations around us. Some of them are working for us while some are working against us. Some want our good while some want to harm us in whatever way they can. This does not have to make anyone nervous, it should only stir us to become ...read more

    In this chapter, we see the activity of Ruth. What did she do when she came to a new land and what was her purpose?

    She Gleaned When the barley and wheat were fit to be collected, gatherers were employed to chop down the stalks and tie them into packs. Israelite law directed that the corners of the fields were not to be reaped. Likewise, any grain that was dropped was to be left for the gleaners, those ...read more

    In the supernatural realm, were you aware that there is a spiritual atmospheric river just outside our reach every moment of our lives?

    Second Sunday in Course 2023 When one counts up the verses making up today’s Scripture readings, it becomes obvious that the quantity of Bible is very small–seventeen total verses in three proclaimed readings and one responsorial psalm.

    Twenty-Ninth Sunday In Ordinary Time; 29th Sunday B -- Can You Drink The Cup?

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 18, 2021
     | 1,421 views

    For training purposes, the supervisor suddenly handed the nurse a wine glass that happened to be on a nearby shelf. The "director" asked the nurse to "lose" her thumbs by tucking them into her palms. It was uncomfortable and difficult to hold the glass.

    Jesus asked James and John, “Can you drink the cup that I drink?” To answer, One can use Theology as Drama. e.g. A supervisor and a nurse did a re-enactment when a patient was going to have an operation on her thumbs the following day. The nurse asked, "Why? What's the matter with ...read more
