    Grace is there when we want it all, leave it all, and waste it all.

    Luke 15:11-24 “Grace meets us where we are, but does not leave us there” I do not understand the mystery of grace -- only that it meets us where we are, but does not leave us where it found us.--Anne Lamott, 1. The Prodigal Son was like the following • I want it all mentality ...read more

    "Mary Worshipped"

    Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Mar 14, 2016
     | 4,546 views

    The message shares how Mary worshipped Jesus by pouring herself out, she worshipped as a result of what she believed, and she saw beyond the cross and tomb.

    “Mary Worshipped?” John 12:1-8 • Mary, is the sister of Lazarus and Martha, they are dining at Simeon the Lepers House • During a dinner in their home with Jesus and the disciples as guests, Mary anoints Jesus' feet with "a pound of costly perfume," and then ...read more

    Thursday of the 6th Week of Easter 2015 Joy of the Gospel This is one of those liturgical days that is a little schizophrenic.

    We will be judged on our service to the poor--but do our social systems make it easy or difficult to do so?

    Thursday of 33rd week in course 2015 Joy of the Gospel Two things tie our Scriptures together today. The obvious one is that they are texts written in or about a time of injustice and disaster. In the first reading, the Syrian king Antiochus IV has decreed that all his subjects would act like ...read more

     | 14,718 views

    Although Peter is seen as an outspoken member of Jesus' Inner Circle, this message reveals the degree of Peter's faith in Who Jesus is and shows us what truly was in his heart.

    Matthew 14:29-31 Peter was oftentimes outspoken and yes, sometimes his mouth got him into trouble. On this occasion, though, his mouth opened up the door to an opportunity to reveal the strength of his faith. Although we like making fun of Peter and some of the things that he said, all of ...read more

    Prayer Sermon dealing with rampant indiscriminate satanic attacks

    Russian roulette is a potentially lethal game of chance in which a player places a single round in a revolver, spins the cylinder, places the muzzle against his head, and pulls the trigger. "Russian" refers to the supposed country of origin, and roulette to the element of risk-taking and the ...read more

    Experience the wonder and awe the women must have felt on finding the empty tomb this Easter morning.

    In everyday speech, we tend to use words like “wonderful” and “awesome” quite a bit. “That cake was wonderful.” “I got out of work early today and had an awesome afternoon.” “What a wonderful service.” Usually we just mean something was nice, or convenient, or was pleasing to the senses. But I ...read more

    we spend too much time waiting for things to happen; we have to make them happen

    This morning I woke up as ‘Downer deni’, disgusted because I felt like I had to wait until I could get anything done! Waiting colored my entire mood dark grey! As I looked out the window, Columbus was covered in thick grey clouds - not a sun ray was to be found. My wrist, badly sprained in a stupid ...read more

    Those who deny the truth of the resurrection are teaching a different gospel to that which we find in the New Testament.

    I BELIEVE IN THE RESURRECTION. 1 Corinthians 15:1-34. Sometimes it is necessary for Christian people to get back to the basics of their faith, to remind themselves what they are about. Here in 1 Corinthians, Paul is not teaching his readers something new, but reviewing that which he taught them ...read more
