    God's Plan Is Best Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 18, 2015
     | 4,735 views

    Like the eunuch from Ethiopia, we must be open to God's plan in Christ.

    Thursday of 3rd Week of Easter 2015 Joy of the Gospel The Father was surely drawing this Ethiopian to Jesus, and–not by luck–deacon Phillip was on the same road as the African’s chariot. The eunuch had been in Jerusalem to pray and study, so he was either a Jew or an admirer of ...read more

    Funeral service for a great Christian man.

    Edgar prior to being admitted in the Greenbrier Manor as he would leave the church Edgar would shake my hand and always say, “Yes” and go on home him and Virginia. I do not to this day know what Edgar meant or maybe I do .“Jesus is the Yes - the divine Yes. A great many people ...read more

    Israel is in slavery and calls for help. God calls Moses to bring release.

    Exodus 1:8-14, 3:1-15 "On a First Name Basis INTRODUCTION One of the greatest figures in the Old Testament is Moses. We have all heard stories about Moses confronting Pharaoh with the ten plagues and splitting the Red Sea. Most of us have viewed movies about Moses ala Charlton Heston and ...read more

    Take The Risk And Grow Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 27, 2016
     | 6,461 views

    Take the risk; take the challenge; take the grace and grow.

    Thursday of 21st Week in Course St. Paul’s words to Corinth today are like a commentary on the Gospel. Simon and the boys have been fishing all night, casting and pulling, casting and pulling. All they got was garbage. But at the word of Jesus, they put out into deep water–not the ...read more

    The Power Of The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 31, 2016
    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,537 views

    No one can stand in the way of God and not be punished. Christianity has nothing to do with the magic and superstition of the world. The power of God’s Word and the power of the Holy Spirit overcomes them all.

    Have you ever wondered what is it like to be commissioned by God to do his work in our world? In the reading we heard from Acts, we see an example of one of the earliest ordinations or commissioning services in the church. Of the five men Luke mentions, four were Jews born outside the Holy Land ...read more

     | 4,359 views

    Nothing is right until we meet and allow ourselves to be transformed by the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Thursday of the 24th Week in Course 2016 Joy of the Gospel Most of us have forgotten the scariest moment of our lives. It was about the age of two. Up to then everybody was so attentive to the little one’s needs that each of us, to the extent that we were thinking at all, had a fundamental ...read more

     | 4,135 views

    The Holy Spirit knows well what is needed in every time and place.

    Thursday of 11th Week in Course There’s a contrast between our two prophets–Jesus and Elijah–in today’s Scriptures. Elijah’s missionary method was pretty direct. When Israel defected from worshiping the true God, he called down a three-year drought. When he won ...read more

    Who Are We Really? Series

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Oct 1, 2016
     | 8,323 views

    Most Christians identify themselves by affiliations or labels. We are Pastor so and so or Apostle so and so or we are Baptists, Methodists, Catholic, etc. The Bible doesn't use any of these to describe who we are in God's eyes.

    DRAWN INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD Romans 8:12-17 1. The mortification of sin (Romans 8:12-14) Paul has just commented that “if Christ is in you the body is dead on account of sin” (Romans 8:10). And that “the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead will also quicken (revivify, make alive) ...read more

     | 8,388 views

    Go on holding on: the day of Christ is not here yet.

    THE NEED FOR CHRISTIAN STABILITY. 2 Thessalonians 2. The church of the Thessalonians had heard a rumour concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our being gathered together to Him (2 Thessalonians 2:1). There were those who taught that “the day of Christ” was already here (2 ...read more

    Spiritual Superheroes

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Apr 1, 2012

    God has graced us with every spiritual gift that we need for life and godliness, and has given us power through the Holy Spirit to life the life of grace.

    I. OPEN: Spiritual Superheroes, even though we don’t always feel like it A. Do you like Superman? “Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.” Whenever Lois Lane, or a careless child, was in danger, and there was ...read more

    Religious Freedom, Fundamental Human Right Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 9, 2016
     | 4,378 views

    Religious freedom is a fundamental human right that is not restricted to the confines of a church.

    Thursday in Third Week of Easter 2016 Joy of the Gospel Those of us who are blessed to be in the Catholic church for many decades tend to take for granted our sacramental realities, especially the Blessed Eucharist. I recall reading about a Muslim who, though totally without faith in the ...read more

    The Gift Of A Wrinkled Baby, Incontinent With Love

     | 3,154 views

    You are sitting here at midnight, your presents bought and wrapped, but how will the people you give them to react? And what of a gift given to you?

    By now either you are really panicking or you have bought your presents. There will be one, maybe two here who will be staying up until the small hours… but by now the rest of you have already wrapped them. [take big present out] And now there is nothing to do but wait. This is the most difficult ...read more

    We Must Serve The Poor Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,267 views

    The church ministered to the poor. If we lose that character, we are no longer the true church.

    Fifth Day of the Christmas Octave 2016 Joy of the Gospel St. John the Evangelist is the apostle and evangelist of love, but he can write in very black-and-white manners. In his first epistle his language is stark: if you obey the law to love your brother you are walking as Jesus did. If you say ...read more

    Christmas Dawn Mass 2014 Thirteen Days of Christmas “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord; the Lord is God and He has enlightened us.” These words of today’s Gradual psalm are the centerpiece of the Christmas dawn Mass Scripture readings. St. Paul tells us that the ...read more

    Loving Lady Poverty To Pull Society From Chaos To Christ Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 30, 2020
     | 1,521 views

    Francis, the poor friar in his garment of third-rate cloth who smiles through his poverty is enormously attractive, because he is totally exceptional.

    Feast of St. Francis of Assisi 2020 October 4, 2020 G.K. Chesterton said about St. Francis that “he plunged after poverty as men have dug madly for gold.” He was in love with what or who he called “Lady Poverty” for a crazy but practical reason and it has to do with spreading the Gospel of the ...read more
