  • Our Baptismal Mission: Goodness, Beauty, Truth

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 7, 2010
     | 2,759 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

  • Baptism As Soaking In Christ

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 29, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,228 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

  • The Two Meanings Of "End"

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 3, 2013
     | 2,305 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

  • Lost Coin, Lost Sheep, Prodigal

     | 4,341 views

    Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time; 24th Sunday, Cycle C

    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

  • Seed, Soil, Sower, Rain

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 27, 2014
     | 4,394 views

    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

  • Fifteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year A- The Sower

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jun 18, 2023
     | 1,838 views

    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

  • Reforming The Reform--Without Whitewash Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 11, 2010
     | 3,573 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

  • Do Not Destroy The Body Of Christ

    Contributed by Richard Papafio on May 8, 2019
     | 2,491 views

    Our denominational lines are not political lines and they shouldn't divide us as Christians. We are one, one Body of Christ

    May the peace of the Lord be with you. Topic: *DO NOT DESTROY THE BODY OF CHRIST* 1 Corinthians 1:12-13 King James Version (KJV) 12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 13 Is Christ divided? was Paul ...read more

  • Public Parade Provokes Punishment

    Contributed by Mack Armstrong on Mar 19, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,641 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.

    MARK 11:1-11 PUBLIC PARADE PROVOKES PUNISHMENT I. POTENTATES: A. Powerful. B. Pawn. C. Perfect. II. PROCESSION: A. Public. B. Popular. C. Peaceful. III. POSSIBILITIES: A. Plebeian. B. Provocation. C. Punishment. The Triumphal Entry was the final death knell for our Lord. Jesus ...read more

  • "Resurrection 2004 Means Rejoicing Everyday!" Series

    Contributed by Francis Avila on Apr 9, 2004
    based on 10 ratings
     | 4,077 views

    I believe that "Resurrection Sunday" must not be just a one day event, then tomorrow its gone. I believe it must impact our life on a daily basis.

    "RESURRECTION 2004 MEANS REJOICING EVERYDAY!" TEXT: Matthew 28: 1-10 Introduction One Sunday morning, during the Bolshevik Revolution (Russian Revolution), the Red Guards rounded up all the people of a small village into the town chapel. After a very lengthy lecture about "Communism" the ...read more

  • Familiarity Breeds Contempt

    Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Jul 3, 2003
    based on 188 ratings
     | 32,950 views

    God is no respecter of persons. He will use whom he will. There is a danger in our Christian lives that we can miss out on God’s blessings because we fail to recognise God’s messenger.

    Saxlingham 06-07-03 A prophet is without honour in his own country We all know the old adage “Familiarity breeds contempt” - a saying that goes back as far as Publius the Syrian, in 2 BC. And we see in our Gospel reading this morning, how this happened to Jesus ...read more

  • God & Golf & You

    Contributed by Charles Clary on Sep 30, 2004
    based on 29 ratings
     | 11,194 views

    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

  • Hope Comes Through Suffering

    based on 19 ratings
     | 7,595 views

    As the old expression goes, "There’s light at the end of the tunnel" this sermon tells us that there is hope at the end of the suffering.

    ¡§Hope Comes Through Suffering¡¨ This morning we are going to talk about hope from the perspective of a man of God who experienced tremendous suffering. The apostle Paul was the last apostle chosen during the time the first church was getting started. Like the other apostles, Paul was chosen by ...read more

  • Refining Your Values

    Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Feb 27, 2004
    based on 39 ratings
     | 6,833 views

    Jesus called his disciples (apostles and others) to refine their values so that they may better serve God in the spread of the gospel. In the gospel text of the morning, Luke records the first part of Jesus’ sermon on the plain – the blessings and woes o

    The Roman emperor Charlemagne has an interesting story surrounding his burial. This famous king asked to be entombed sitting upright in his throne. He asked that they place the crown on his head and his scepter in his hand. He requested that they drape the royal cape around his shoulders and an ...read more
