    Only Then May We Celebrate Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 14, 2023
     | 812 views

    The truly repentant one knows where the problem is. It’s in his own mind, which he bows down to the Almighty, and in his heart, which he beats as he prays.

    Saturday of the 3rd Week in Lent 2023 When we read the Gospel passage that looks into the minds and hearts of the Pharisee and the tax collector, we see two entirely different ideas of sin and repentance. The first, which is way more popular than the other, is what is called “comparative” ...read more

    Your small actions can cost you a lot. This sermon is to warn at the same time to encourage ,Regarding your behavior towards pastors.

    Matthew 13: 53-54 53 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence. 54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

    One Door And Only One Series

    What does it mean for Jesus to be "the door?" And why should that matter to us?

    There’s a cute little children’s song about Jesus that goes this way: “One Door, and only one, and yet its sides are two, inside and outside, on which side are you? One Door, and only one, and yet its sides are two, I want the inside - on which side are you? “One Lord, and only one and yet the ...read more

    I am so glad that March is over. It is going to remembered years from now like September 11th, or the day that Katrina roared onto the Gulf Coast on August 29th, 2005, or the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. You ask why?

    Introduction: I am so glad that March is over. It is going to remembered years from now like September 11th, or the day that Katrina roared onto the Gulf Coast on August 29th, 2005, or the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941.

    But It’s Only Words

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 10, 2021
     | 1,966 views

    We often dismiss our words because actions are what really matter. This sermon looks at some of the warnings the Scripture gives us about the dangers of our words.

    BUT IT'S ONLY WORDS: Often we think of actions as being serious but words as being insignificant. TAKING OUR WORDS SERIOUSLY: 1. Your words reveal who you are. - Matthew 12:34-35. - We deny this: “I said it but that’s not who I am.” Like when we lie or burst out in anger. 2. Your words ...read more

    The Christian faith, after all, is deeply personal. When we abide in Christ, we rest in God.

    OUR REST ONLY IN GOD. Psalm 84:1-4. At the end of the celebration of Passover, in Jewish homes scattered throughout the world, the parting toast is, ‘Next year in Jerusalem!’ The sentiment echoes a common consciousness, a restlessness if you will, which is forever drawing God’s people back ...read more

    Only One Way To God

     | 3,983 views

    Many say they can come to God in their own way. The Bible says differently.

    Can a man choose his own way to come to God? God gives us the answer to this question in the story of Cain and Abel in Genesis 4:1-5. Cain and Abel were sinners, like all of us. They couldn’t give anything to God to pay for their sins. So God planned a way that they could come to Him. He made a ...read more

    The Only Priest Who Matters Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 7, 2021
     | 2,836 views

    Many so-called Christian churches claim that believers can only maintain a right relationship with God and the hope of heaven through the priests, or mediators, that they have authorized for these purposes. Does God's word support such a teaching. Find out from Hebrews 7:1-19.

    About a decade ago, I found a biological dentist who practiced in Southern California who was uniquely able to help me with some dental work that I needed done in relationship to the fatigue and the cancer I had acquired. I made a point of going down to Southern California, having made an ...read more

    The Rules In Only Two Lines Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 17, 2020
     | 2,126 views

    All of Torah, all of God’s law is summed up in two lines. That’s good, because after original sin, we humans routinely show ourselves to be pretty stupid.

    30th Sunday in Course 2020 Plague Year The Church has had us immersed in St. Matthew’s Gospel, chapter 22, for the better part of a month now, and last week’s Gospel with the famous quote, “Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God” was a rebuke of the Pharisees. So the beginning of ...read more

    Do Not Fear; Only Believe

    God made man and woman in His image, with the plan that they would act and become more and more good, more and more like Himself. That was the divine order.

    Thirteenth Sunday in Course 2024 In his great Summa Theologiae, St Thomas Aquinas wrote “the order of the Divine government is wholly directed to good. . .no one acts intending evil.” (ST I Q 104 Art 1) Those words are an appropriate commentary on the words from the post-exile writing Book of ...read more

    The Only God, The First And The Last Series

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Aug 7, 2022
     | 1,900 views

    It’s foolish to put our confidence in what we own, or in what we look like, or in the people we love. All these good things only spring from the Lord God, the overflowing fountain. And none of these things can save or redeem, for God alone is the First and the Last.

    One of my favourite Bible stories is in 1 Kings 18. That’s the chapter where God has a showdown with Baal, a dramatic contest on the top of Mount Carmel. You remember how Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to a competition. ‘Come up the mountain,’ he said. ‘Bring two oxen for sacrifice, wood to ...read more
