Human Family, Divine Family Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 21, 2013

History teaches us that God's loving kindness comes from His essence--His Trinitarian family--and to that we must attract the whole human family.

Trinity Sunday 2013 Just one week ago, our Archbishop Gustavo announced plans for our Catholic community here in South Texas. It is fitting that on this Trinity Sunday, when we celebrate the core mystery of our religion, we contemplate the third core value, “unity.” The text reads: ...read more

The Sovereignty Of God And Human Responsibility

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 18, 2014

There is no pleasing some people. If they make up their minds not to put their trust in Jesus, any excuse will suffice to prevent commitment.

THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD AND HUMAN RESPONSIBILITY. Matthew 11:16-30. A) The children were out playing on the streets. ‘Let’s play weddings,’ suggested the girls: but the boys would not. ‘Let’s play funerals,’ countered the boys: but the girls would not. A preacher came, austere in his ...read more

Faith, Filth And The Human Heart

Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 14, 2015

The marginal people storm into the church, insisting that the church should live up to the pattern offered by Jesus. They rock the boat, and in so doing they force the church to remember its reason for being.

There is a story of a group of the very pious who are waiting in heaven for judgment. As they are waiting and complaining about the wait, they begin to see some of the “sinners” they knew on earth coming into the waiting room: a corrupt politician, an itinerant woman who had been ...read more

Our Sinful, Human Nature

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 6, 2015

If we love God, we will truly love the things we ought to love and we'll find some other way of expressing our appreciation for the material things we have.

The passage from Hosea 11:1-10 is a story of God mourning over his people. He loved Israel like a parent loves a child, but Israel spurned him. Even though he was rejected, God still loved Israel and could not renounce his chosen people. It is a metaphor for what Jesus did. Jesus was rejected by ...read more

Wrapped - Pt. 1 - In Humanity Series

Contributed by Steve Ely on Dec 3, 2016

No one pays that much attention to the wrapping. It’s what is inside that counts . . . right? Maybe this Christmas we should stop and consider how the gift was wrapped.

Wrapped Pt. 1 - In Humanity I. Introduction There is usually very little attention paid to the wrappings. Even if great time and effort is made to make sure each corner is tucked and folded perfectly. Even if the bow is picked to match exactly. Even if every seam is precise. Most of the time all ...read more

Contributed by Harold Jenkerson on Feb 18, 2016

God is intimate with His creation. God is very intimate with the Believer. In the intimacy of the divine and the believer there is fellowship and dialogue. It is this intimacy with the living God that makes the believer unique in the world.

The Divine Foundation For Human Existence Series

Contributed by Harold Jenkerson on Feb 20, 2016

What About Human Freedom? Series

Contributed by Ian Du Pisanie on Apr 2, 2012

If God ordains whatsoever shall come to pass, what role do humans play in the greater picture? Are we merely puppets on a string or is the some sort of freedom we have to choose God?

I’m not going to be doing any recapping today, simply to say that ...read more

A Second Chance For The Human Race

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 22, 2016

Adam, son of God, failed in the Garden. Israel, son of God, rebelled in the wilderness. Jesus the Son of God, on behalf of us all, won the battle against temptation in the wilderness. Believers in Jesus are also called sons of God, so how must we live?

A SECOND CHANCE FOR THE HUMAN RACE. Luke 4:1-13. Man was always going to get a second chance after the Fall of Adam. God made a promise concerning the seed of the woman (Genesis 3:15), and ‘that seed was Christ’ (cf. Galatians 3:16; Galatians 3:29). We see in the temptation of Jesus a new Adam ...read more
