The Power Of The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 31, 2016

Have you ever wondered what is it like to be commissioned by God to do his work in our world? In the reading we heard from Acts, we see an example of one of the earliest ordinations or commissioning services in the church. Of the five men Luke mentions, four were Jews born outside the Holy Land ...read more

The twin command of Jesus to clergy is important to consider in any decision regarding ordination.

Thursday of the 7th Week of Easter 2015 Joy of the Gospel It would not be disrespectful of St. Paul to point out that, even among his great works, he made some monumental personal blunders in his ministry.

Evangelization--Sacred Vs Secular Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 31, 2015

The pope encourages us to understand that non-Western cultures are suspicious of Christian evangelization because they confuse it with the spread of secularism and the culture of death.

Thursday of the 4th Week in Course 2015 Light of the Gospel St. Mark’s Gospel is rarely verbose. He always tells the story of Jesus using an economy of words, perhaps because the Church of Rome was too poor to supply him much in the way of writing supplies, or because it was often ...read more

Just Keep On Sowing

Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Jul 14, 2014

The sermon is based upon the idea that no matter what happens, no matter where, and no matter what the results are of seeds being sowed, just keep on sowing.

Matthew 13:1-9 “Just Keep on Sowing” 1. The Parable of the Sower, Jesus identifies four types of ground upon which the sower's seeds fall: A. The seeds sown along the path (v. 4); on the path the seeds are exposed and carried off by hungry birds. B. Secondly the seed ...read more

Blessed By The Blood

Contributed by Craig Benner on Oct 22, 2014

The innocent, powerful, sin-cleansing, divine, ever-powerful, crimson blood of Jesus Christ is worth talking about and singing about. His blood has never lost its power. It is the only thing that can save the soul of man.

BLESSED BY MEANS OF THE BLOOD The RED blood applied to a BLACK heart, will make it WHITE as snow. Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. 1 ...read more

The Voice.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 28, 2013

John the Baptist provides a prime example of a preacher's humility: pointing away from himself to Jesus: not seeking to add followers to His own fold, but to Christ, the Son of God.

THE VOICE. John 1:19-28. The prologue to John’s Gospel gives an account of how Eternity broke into time (John 1:1; John 1:14): yet Time encroaches on the very timelessness of the account in the person of “a man sent from God, whose name was John” (John 1:6). This John is not to be confused with ...read more

The Unity Of Hope

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 23, 2013

The Christ child as the hope of the nations.

THE UNITY OF HOPE. Romans 15:4-13. In many respects we might view Romans 14:1 to Romans15:13 as the practical outworking of the Jewish/Gentile debate of Romans 9 to 11. There was some dissension in Rome over matters of food and drink, and holy days. It is quite probable that it was a question of ...read more
