    Passover was near and Jews from all over the world were coming to Jerusalem. Some of them came in contact with Philip, one of our Lord's disciples, and asked for his assistance.

    (Note: this message is based on a sermon preached at First Baptist Church of Sigourney, Iowa in March 2019 and is not an exact reproduction.) Introduction: The Lord Jesus Christ was on His way to Jerusalem, where in just a few days He would be crucified and would die for the sins of the world. ...read more

    We Are Made Righteous By Faith (Second Sunday Of Lent, March 5, 2023)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2023
     | 2,295 views

    How would you like to take a test that had a different rule for success? Instead of so many points for an “A”, so many for a “B” and so on, the success of the test would be based on an “all or nothing rule”. So you would have to get a 100% to pass on every test every single day.

    WE ARE MADE RIGHTEOUS BY FAITH Text: Romans 4:1-5, 13-17 Romans 4:1-5  What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter?  (2)  If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. ...read more

    Seven Sundays To Easter: Mary Magdalene’s Undying Love For A Risen Savior Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Apr 1, 2021
     | 3,836 views

    John 20 records Mary Magdalene's journeys to the tomb where the body of Jesus was placed. She was the first person to see and speak with the Risen Lord Jesus, and showed Him her undying love.

    Introduction: Mary Magdalene was one of the women who followed Jesus during His earthly ministry. Jesus had cast seven demons out of her at an earlier time (Luke 7-8:2) so no doubt she would be grateful for that miracle. She was there when the Lord’s body was laid in the tomb (Mark 15:40-47) and ...read more

    Thirty-First Sunday In Ordinary Time, C- What Is Our Sycamore Tree?

     | 1,843 views

    “It isn’t necessary for [others] to like me to save my life, and I don’t need to like them for me to be saving their lives.”

    The Guinness Book of World Records keeps track of some very unusual records. The 1999 edition contains one entry titled, “The longest time living in a tree.” It seems a man in Indonesia named Bungkas went up a tree in 1970 and has been up there ever since. He lives in a crude tree house made ...read more

    Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time- If–then–else: "Blessed Are You"

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 11, 2022
     | 1,527 views

    Shalom is not an indiscriminate gift of Yahweh. It is conditional.

    In computer programing languages there is a standard code that states: If–then (–else) which means: “IF” YOU DO THIS “THEN” THIS WILL FOLLOW OR ELSE THIS HAPPENS. It works the same way for some of the conditional blessings that God wants to give us that we hear in our Gospel today: IF you do ...read more

     | 1,962 views

    Do you believe that God has a mission for you? Are you listening when God calls you to that mission? Or, do you have some reservations about that mission?

    WHAT’S YOUR MISSION ON STRAIGHT STREET? Text: Acts 9:1 - 20 But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring ...read more

    Living Up To The Name (Seventh Sunday After Pentecost, July 24, 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jul 23, 2022
     | 1,221 views

    Paul reminds us that we are to be rooted and built up in Christ so that we live up to the name of what it means to be a Christian within and influential in our witness of Christ to others on the outside.

    LIVING UP TO THE NAME Text: Colossians 2:6 – 19 Colossians 2:6-19? As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to live your lives in him, ?(7)? rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. ?

    Twenty-Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year C: Lazarus And The Rich Man

     | 547 views

    Dives ended up in a Dive Bar in Hell's Kitchen for all eternity, and I don’t mean a below sidewalk-level seedy bar in Manhattan, NY.

    The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus is the only parable that contains a proper name, "Lazarus;" the rich man has no name, but he is traditionally known as "Dives," the Latin word meaning "rich." Dives ended up in a Dive Bar in Hell's Kitchen for all ...read more

    Thirtieth Sunday In Ordinary Time - Year C. In Defense Of The Pharisee And Tax Collector

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 25, 2025
     | 192 views

    Jesus indicates that the Pharisee's virtue was destroyed by pride, but he certainly was objectively living a good moral life.

    Let’s see what the Pharisee did right, and the tax collector— The Pharisee prayed- 'O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity --greedy, dishonest, adulterous -- or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income.' Jesus indicates ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Sep 6, 2025
     | 299 views

    Jesus must have our highest allegiance as the center of our life.

    “Great crowds were traveling with Jesus (Luke 14:25),” we hear. He’d rather they be students, or learners which is what disciple means from the Latin word discipulus. So, he teaches them three “cannots,” which is a great way to weed out the casual observers from the more serious followers because ...read more

    Imagine you are Matthew, the tax collector. You come from a Jewish background but you work for the enemy----the Roman Government. You have made a good living. But, ….

    Heaven is the ultimate end and fulfilment of the deepest human longings, the state of supreme, definitive happiness

    At the wedding rehearsal, the bride told the priest that she was nervous that she would not remember what to do during the wedding. The celebrant told her that she only needed to remember 3 things. First the aisle, because that is what you'll be walking down. Secondly, the altar because ...read more

    Application about Paul’s teaching about his thorn: He was active in interpreting his life experience to himself and others

    Paul Powell said, “Troubles knock a lot of nonsense out of us.” Like Paul’s “thorn in the flesh” from our Second Reading taken from 2 Corinthians, chapter 12 , which he says was given to him by “an angel of Satan.” It was not a sin problem. e.g. Winne-the-Pooh comes downstairs, bump, bump, ...read more
