    Contributed by Pastor Dre on Jun 18, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 20,329 views

    Here is a short sermon that encourages us as a Christian to have a place Gethsemane, a time where we spend time with God to get the strength to do His Will. Jesus spent time in Gethsemane to get a hold of the Father, how much more should we.

    Matthew 26:36-39 36 - Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 - He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38 - Then he said to them, “My soul is ...read more

    There is a special set of charisms and sufferings for those called to pastoral office in the Church.

    Christians, especially Catholics, should never be surprised by suffering and pain. If we are surprised, it ought to be if we do not suffer pain and disappointment and grief. Jesus told us that during His absence, we would weep and lament while the secular world rejoices. St. Teresa commented ...read more

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jan 20, 2014
     | 6,028 views

    A short all-age talk given at a baptism talk where about a third of the congregation were visitors to the church. Jesus already knows your questions and he has the answers; but what would you ask him?

    A little boy in Primary school was given some homework – an essay for his teacher and the subject was birth. So he asked his Mum, “Mum. How was I born?” Now, Mum was a bit embarrassed and didn’t know what to say so she blurted out, “Well dear, when we decided we wanted ...read more

    Contributed by Patrick Usifo on May 17, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,071 views

    A leader is not born, and not made in times of crisis, but are revealed to the world when crisis struck. Today's crisis has revealed a lack of leadership in the church.

    In today's world, knowing what to do in times of crisis can give a nation or a person the needed advantage to overcome adverse situations. But a shortfall of not knowing what to do can spell more trouble, anxiety, and fear in the midst of uncertainty and a wanting leadership. And this true in ...read more

  • Jesus And Santa

    Contributed by Jacob Brimm on Apr 21, 2021
     | 1,813 views

    What do Jesus and Santa have in common? Nothing? Perhaps more than you think, just not how you think! The true story of a man who got a name, though he personally would rather all credit go to The Son!

    While we know very little about the man who likely bore the name, the most likely person was the Bishop of Myra, near modern Finike, Turkey, in the 300s. Nicholas' parents died when he was just a teenager. His parents left him a lot of money which made him a rich young man. He went to live ...read more

     | 211 views

    This may make you squirm a bit. But remember that the prophets had two missions: to comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable.

    Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Course 2025 In today’s opening prayer, the Church celebrates God’s almighty power shown by Him pardoning sins and showing mercy, and we ask for abundant grace, God’s very life, so that we can hasten to attain His promises and be His eternal heirs. That sounds wonderful, but ...read more

    Are we holding up OUR part of the covenant of our vocations?

    Jesus walks into a bar. “Just 12 waters, please,” while winking at his disciples. I saw this post on social media, DOES ANYONE KNOW WHICH PAGE OF THE BIBLE EXPLAINS HOW TO TURN WATER INTO WINE?

     | 3,589 views

    Salt was scarce in the Near East in Jesus' day. It symbolized the bonds of friendship, peace and love between people. It is another example of the great commandment that Jesus gave us to love one another.

    Salt Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Mark 9:49-50 Mark 9:49 "For everyone will be salted with fire. 50 "Salt is good; but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you 1make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another." This short narrative about salt ...read more

    “The trumpet, scattering its awful sound. Across the graves of all lands, Summons all before the throne. Remember, gentle Jesus, that I am the reason for your time on earth, do not cast me out on that day, When the damned are confounded, and consigned to keen flames, call me with the blessed.”

    BYOB stands for Bring Your Own Beverage. Today’s parable is about preparing for our individual and irrevocable particular judgment at death and it is always a Bring Your Own Oil affair—BYOO. [Thanks to Troy Borst for this phrase] The inevitable sleep of death overtook all ten of them, and our ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 16, 2021
     | 1,731 views

    One of the ways that Israel stimulated a sense of gratitude and fidelity was remembering the exodus from captivity to liberation: “remember that you were once slaves...remember that it was God who liberated you and brought you to a land of promise."

    Simple Act of Gratitude is a book that tells the story of an inspiration, the writing of 365 Thank You Notes, and how John Kralik’s life was changed from a life full of debts and disasters, to learning to be grateful for the life he had. I decided that I would try this too, and so I did starting ...read more
