     | 3,464 views

    we often wander off as sheep are want to do, but Jesus comes and finds us

    I assure you, he who does not enter by the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up some other way is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. The watchman opens the door for this man, and the sheep listen to his voice and heed it; and he calls his own sheep ...read more

    May the words of my mouth and the way, the life and the truth be engraved upon our hearts. We need to step back to the evening of the last supper.

    Seventeenth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Cycle A -- 17th Sunday, Year A

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 25, 2020
     | 3,713 views

    It’s so important that ordinary Catholics read Scripture as a devotional inquiry which the Catholic Catechism calls “the intimate sense of spiritual realities which believers experience.”

    A foolish old farmer, so the story goes, concluded one day that the oats he had fed his mule for years were simply costing him too much. So, he hatched a plan: He mixed a little sawdust in with the feed, and then a little more the next day, and even more the next, each time reducing the amount of ...read more

    I learned this meaning of Rev 5 and the seals when one of the leaders of “Intercessors for Africa” at the commencement of one of the conferences raised a prayer point from that scripture in the 90s.

    “But one of the twenty-four elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir to David’s throne, has won the victory. He is worthy to open the scroll and its seven seals.” Rev 5:5 in the name of Jesus the seals in your life shall be opened. I learned this meaning of ...read more

    What’s At The Core? The center of the gospel is not the Bible or the church; it is Christ crucified. - 1 Timothy 3:16. - The phrase at the beginning of verse 16 is worth a moment’s pause: “the mystery of godliness.” - This can be taken two ways: a. The mystery of what ...read more

    Will Everyone Make It To Heaven?

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Oct 19, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,793 views

    This sermon addresses the false belief that everyone will make it to heaven. I used parts of a sermon outline from sermons of the new testament to write this sermon.

    In a 2008 USA Today article it says that in a survey taken the majority of people 65% say eternal life is not exclusively for those who accept Christ. The world view today is that anyone and everyone will be saved no matter who they are, what they do, or who are what they believe in. The ...read more

    Mat 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto ...read more

    Keeping our home fires burning. Is this referring to those who may have a fireplace in their home?

    The Return from A Wedding: Albeit this illustration applies to Israel and the second coming of Christ when He returns to establish His earthly Kingdom, it fundamentally applies to us, the church, as we await His return during the Rapture.
