    Baptism As Soaking In Christ

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 29, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,078 views

    In Baptism, we become, like Jesus, prophets, priests and leaders for our world.

    Feast of the Lord’s Baptism January 11, 2009 “Jesus was baptized by John in the Jordan.” Why? Was Jesus a sinner? And what does this event, which we celebrate every year, mean to you and me the other 364 days of this year? To better understand the meaning of Jesus’s baptism, we need to ...read more

    Our Baptismal Mission: Goodness, Beauty, Truth

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 7, 2010
     | 2,595 views

    If we are to minister to a world in need, we must give it what Jesus gave: goodness, beauty and truth

    The Baptism of the Lord January 10 2010 The first thing we should do today is correct a Hollywood-produced misconception about John’s baptism. Many of us grew up watching one or the other movie in which Jesus was baptized, or a large group of Protestant Christians were baptized in a river, ...read more

    We need to pay attention to the condition of our soil, but we also need to spend time daily preparing and sowing.

    Fifteenth Sunday in Course 2014 Seed, Soil, Sower, Rain Today’s OT reading went by so fast that you might forget its importance. That’s not the lector’s fault: the Church gives us only two verses. Let’s listen to the Word of God in the longer version beginning four verses ...read more

    The Two Meanings Of "End"

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 3, 2013
     | 2,166 views

    There are two meanings to "end," and as we reach the conclusion of a liturgical year, we must plan for both.

    One of the legends circulating that purports to prove the superiority of the new liturgical calendar and new lectionary is that in the Extraordinary Form, we hear Scripture readings that really belong to the beginning of the year, not the end. Let’s be honest. We aren’t talking about ...read more

    Fifteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year A- The Sower

    Even in the fruit-bearing hearers of the word there are gradations.

    I saw a neighbor working in his front yard wearing a funny T-Shirt that said, “Sorry I Can't My Plants Need Me.” In today’s parable from Matthew, chapter 13, the seed is the Word of God (verse 20), and the ground is our hearts (verse 19). It all depends on what kind of soil a person is because ...read more

    There is a story of a man who was driving along the highway. Along the way he hits a big bump and hears a clang, but he ignores it and keeps on driving. When he gets home, he discovers that one of his hubcaps is missing. So, the next day he goes back to the spot where he hit the big bump, and sure ...read more

    Public Parade Provokes Punishment

     | 3,530 views

    The Triumphal Entry by Jesus on Palm Sunday will remain in history as one of the best organized confrontation to the powers that be. Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem proved He was the real leader and not Rome nor the High Priest. For this, He had to die.

    Reforming The Reform--Without Whitewash Series

     | 3,324 views

    The reform of our liturgy is not a matter of going back to pre-Vatican II forms, but of becoming more faithful to true worship as it has developed over 2000 years

    Monday of 23rd Week in Course The Spirit of the Liturgy Sept 6 2010 The stories in chapter 6 of Luke are familiar enough, but we need to understand why the Pharisees were wrong–and not just incorrect, but truly evil. They did not recognize the supreme Good who stood in their midst and ...read more

    There are several interesting similarities between the mob that Stephen preached to and those who will deny the same message today.

    STOPPING YOUR EARS Acts 7:51-60 (vs. 57) INTRO. These are the final moments in the life of one of the first Christian martyrs. The men Stephen was speaking to were the great and mighty men of their day and nation. They knew the Scriptures and should have been among the first to recognize ...read more

    The World's Greatest Backslider

    The sermon chronicles Ephraim’s (Israel) downward spiral and sets forth the love of God which reaches out to him.

    Many here today have heard of the Darwin Awards. They are given to individuals who self-destruct in the most remarkable way. Floyd Brown, age 42, wearing a ski-mask attempted to rob a Holiday Inn in Anchorage, Alaska. The problem was that there were 40 policemen who were in the lobby of the motel ...read more

    A sermon for the 8th Sunday after Pentecost Proper 10 The Sower Parable

    8th Sunday after Pentecost Proper 10 Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23   The Parable is the familiar Parable of the Sower. How full of imagery the story is. The crowds are so large that Jesus gets into a boat so they can see him while he teaches. We can see Jesus in a boat teaching and then we can picture ...read more

    This is a sermon which compares the game of golf to the game of life.

    The latter portion of my text reads, "....and without a parable spake He not unto them." Today I will use a parable or a comparison to illustrate the game of life. It is obvious that the Apostle Paul was knowledgeable of the sporting events of his day. On numerous occasions he used athletics to ...read more
