    Thank You, God For Dad, Mum, Grand And Great-Grand Pas And Mas

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 14, 2024

     | 549 views

    Thanking God for our God-fearing fathers, mothers, and grand- and great-grandparents, who, living and departed, instilled in us the faith.

    In Western Christianity, this day (July 26th) is celebrated as the “feast of grandparents.” This feast began with the earliest church traditions, which marked the maternal grandparents of Jesus, Joachim, and Anne. A little bit later, in about the third and fourth centuries, the universal church ...read more

    Compassion & Understanding Of The Lord Heals The Canaanite Woman’s Daughter

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 14, 2024

     | 954 views

    Because we harbour differences, misunderstandings, resentments, and issues that we must sort out with the Lord, he may growl at us when we ask for a favour. But if our faith in God remains unshaken, the Lord will ensure that God will answer our cries for help.

    Today, I want to hear God speaking to us through the story of Jesus healing the Canaanite woman’s daughter, who was tormented by a demon. For many reasons, this is a unique and fascinating story. For starters, this story, which is placed in the region of Tyre and Sidon, is among the two stories ...read more

    Children Are Windows To Heaven Series

     | 674 views

    Babies and toddlers are windows to Heaven, our Home. I often ask them to tell me of their memories of Heaven because they still remember Home and are windows for us to glimpse into our unfathomable, infinite, glorious Home we have forgotten about.

    One thing you may not have heard me say is that I have enjoyed a love affair with children, especially newborns, infants, and toddlers. This love affair started in 1991 when my wife was pregnant with our first child. Let me share with you how this love affair began. In 1990, I was in my second ...read more

    God's forgiveness heals, forgiveness restores, and forgiveness returns lost souls Home.

    The Risen Jesus And Doubting Thomas

    Jesus knows our struggles, wounds, hurts, and pains and He carries them even in his resurrection body!

    (Please note the names mentioned in this sermon are pseudonyms) Today, we have this story of Jesus physically appearing to his disciples after his resurrection. On Jesus’ first appearance, Thomas was absent, and we just read in the story that he had insisted on seeing Jesus’ wounds if he were to ...read more

     | 591 views

    The Spirit of Truth is the Lawyer God has appointed on our behalf representing His State -- the Kingdom of God.

    The COVID-19 pandemic has forced our lives into isolation. However, one blessing this isolation has brought me is having some spare time. Last week, I used some of this extra time to open a medium-sized box that had not been opened for many years. The box contains some of my personal belongings ...read more

    The Journey To Emmaus

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 16, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 975 views

    The risen Christ is with us always. He walks with us on every road. He is with us at the heights of joy and celebration and in the pits of terror and despair. He is always with us, but we do not recognise him. Nevertheless, he journeys with us to the end of our lives.

    The gospel reading we just read about Jesus' journey to Emmaus with two persons is one of my favourite resurrection stories and possibly my favourite from the Gospel of Luke. Over the twenty-six years of my ministry, among many other texts in the Gospels, this is one of the most-loved stories I ...read more

     | 648 views

    The saints' exemplary lives encourage us always to be close to Jesus and make it our life’s plan.

    As the whole church celebrates the Feast of St Francis today (4 October), I want to take the opportunity to share with you why the church honours and celebrates saints. I want to reflect with you what the saints have to teach us about our calling to be Jesus' followers, our faith in God, and ...read more

    Beautiful things and many more things in life that we may not experience and fulfil with those whom we love will come to pass and happen when we meet in Heaven

    Jesus said: Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven (Mt. 18:18) The picture I have chosen for today’s liturgy cover is a brilliant piece of art by the famous Spanish artist Juan Lucena. I think he painted this ...read more

    Speaking In The Tongue Of Heaven

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 17, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 690 views

    When the Holy Spirit empowers a person to speak in his or her language—which we will hear in our mother tongue—the language they speak in is not their language but the tongue of Heaven.

    What an incredible and ecstatic experience for the twelve Apostles, the Mother of Jesus, Jesus’ brothers, and other women to experience the gifting of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost. As Luke reports, it had been a dramatic event. While they were together, the event started with a sudden ...read more

    If we develop our relationship with Jesus and want to become all that God would have us be, then God will treat us in whatever way necessary to make it happen.

    Around this time last year, I signed up to be an “Angel.” This was not in the company of God’s Angels in Heaven and on Earth but with a wine club here in Australia called Naked Wines. It is a club comprising private and small-scale wine growers across Australia and New Zealand. Anyone can purchase ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 753 views

    When we come to the faith and are baptised, we are forever held in Jesus’ arms.

    Only a few Sundays ago, I preached on the story of Jesus picking up a little child and holding him in his arms (Mark 9:30-37) St. Mark did not name the child. But guess what? A tradition in the church says the child is none other than Ignatius, a native of Syria. This is the boy who later became ...read more

     | 629 views

    In Jesus's Transfiguration, He reveals who we truly are and who we are to become by the grace of God.

    I suspect. Most of us look in a mirror at some point each day. We check our hair, makeup, teeth, and clothes. Mirrors show us what we look like. While it might be important to know what we look like, it’s more important to know who we are. That’s what this holy Feast of the Transfiguration is ...read more

    We Do Not Know What We Should Pray For As We Ought Series

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 23, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 864 views

    Like all Christians, St. Paul was left wondering how to pray in many challenging situations and trials during his ministry as an Apostle of the Lord. Then, he found how to pray best.

    The words of St Paul, “We do not know what we should pray for as we ought,” I know, ring a bell with all of us Christians. When we are faced with situations that are beyond our grasp and capacity to control, we find ourselves without knowing what we should pray for as we ought. I remember my ...read more
