    Mixed reactions to the miracles of Jesus.

    Luke 7: 11 – 17 / Seized With Fear While Glorifying God Intro: Throughout our lifetime we ask “why?” As children we ask, “why is the sky blue and the grass green?” As we grow older the “why-questions” become more difficult to answer. “Why do bad ...read more

    People were honoring Jesus Christ as they laid down their cloaks and palm branches; what are we honoring Jesus with on a daily basis?

    Today is known as Palm Sunday. Why do we celebrate Palm Sunday? Got questions? Got answers!! - The Word of God! Palm Sunday is described in all the 4 Gospels. The narrative in Mark 11 is abbreviated but similar to the one in Matthew. So let us read Matthew 21:1-11……. Let us note a few things ...read more

    A homily regarding the miraculous healing of the Paralytic by Christ. Given on the Fourth Sunday of Paschal (Sunday of the Paralytic) at the Monastery of the Glorious Ascension.

    Dear brothers and sisters, today's Gospel reading in chapter five of the testimony of St. John tells us a wonderful story about love and forgiveness and profound healing.

    This is part one of a series of messages in the Gospel of John.

    INTRODUCTION: John’s gospel is different from the others. There is no genealogy, no manger scene, no boyhood, no temptation, no Mount of transfiguration, and no Gethsemane. There are only a few special miracles chosen by John as “signs.” We have the famous “I AM” sayings of Jesus and many ...read more

    Binding the Strong Man – A Political Reading of Mark's Story of Jesus authored by Ched Myers is a fascinating look at Jesus' life and His words.

     | 2,807 views

    What then does the Bible teaches concerning the coming of the Antichrist and the system that shall be in place during his rule and reign over the nations.  To answer these question one must refer to the Bible making sure all the biblical references be contextual and accurately used

    These are interesting times as nothing can compare to the charged and pregnant atmosphere that surrounds us daily with the uncertainty of what might occur next in the scheme of things. The fluidity of the situation is so fearful that many are unhinged at the end of the age happening any time soon. ...read more

    Genesis 8: God Remembers and Restores Summary Genesis chapter 8 records the turning point of the flood narrative. After months of judgment and global destruction, the chapter opens with a profound statement: God remembered Noah. This does not mean God had forgotten him, but that God chose to ...read more

    Inclusion Is What We Need, Not Power Hungry People

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 11, 2021
     | 1,765 views

    Jesus rebuked His disciples because they wanted to keep the power of healing for themselves. This is happening in church today even though Jesus said it is wrong!

    I think that it is sad that when I read this narrative, it made me think about the control the church has held over people for almost 2000 years. The church used only one verse, thus out of context, to control people. Catholics could not own a Bible until 1964 CE. The idea that a person has to ...read more
