    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Jan 20, 2020
     | 3,205 views

    Difficulties are part of life, how we respond is what makes the difference. Joseph and Mary faced the difficulty of being refugees in the land of Egypt in order to save the child Jesus from Herod. The "ah ha" moment is when we realize God is with us no matter where we find ourselves.

    Stars and a Stable: Responding to Disappointments One of my closest friends loves UGA! He’s a graduate and a dedicated football loyalist. Now let’s not question his Christianity just yet. He has a saying, "When I die, make sure you chant the Eucharist at my funeral mass. And make sure the ...read more

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Jan 20, 2020
     | 2,529 views

    This is a sermon on evangelism that is tied to Jesus's call to the apostle Andrew. Andrew 1) grows in discipleship and 2) grows the church. The sermon tells people that they can be excited and happy about their faith, and share it with other people.

    Do you want the church to grow? Andrew wasn’t the popular kid in class. His name is only mentioned in twelve verses in the Bible, and eight of those describe him as "Peter's little brother." Even though he was one of the first two or three followers of Jesus, Peter was still the ...read more

    This message is a exposition of the Parable of the Prodigal. The message demonstrates how rich the parable is and how the Middle Eastern context adds to our understanding of the meaning and application of the three main characters of the parable.

    The Parable of the Lost Sons Luke 15: 11-32 Introduction – Going to Cyprus for an extended stay of 3 months when I was 3yrs old back in 1963, I experienced village life that plunged me into a context that in some ways probably resembled something of the village setting of the parable of the ...read more

    The first disciples were willing to step out in faith to follow Jesus. The writer says "They left their nets." What nets do we need to leave behind so we can follow Jesus?

    Fishing and Fighting: Leave Your Safety Nets “We all have one thing in common,” says Brene Brown, “we’re sick of feeling afraid. We’re tired of the national conversation centering on “What we should fear” and “Who we should blame.” She points out a spiritual problem; fear is everywhere. With ...read more

  • Never Surrender Your Authenticity

     | 2,144 views

    Jesus says let "yes" be yes and "no" be no. Righteousness must exceed the Pharisees. They surrendered their authenticity to appear more religious. This sermon is an encouragement to live in the opposite manner.

    Never Surrender Your Authenticity Counterfeiters make over a billion dollars a year, making fake designer clothes and handbags. That billion is from the United States, not the rest of the world. These are not cheap knock offs from street vendors; they are well-made fakes. There's an ...read more

    First Sunday in Lent. The sermon is about how our temptations in life can give us information about ourselves, and the world.

    Temptation is Information Temptations are too much for some people to handle. I heard a few years ago a 340lb man sued a hospital for 900k, claiming it ruined his gastric stapling operation. The man underwent weight loss surgery to cure his overeating. The surgeon implanted 70 tiny staples to ...read more

    Over the years, the Body of Christ has allowed the world, instead of the Bible, determine how it talks about issues.

    Good evening to the blessed of the Lord! Good evening to men and women and young people who are more than conquerors in every situation. Pro-Life, Pro-Choice I want to tell you up front that this is not a message about abortion. It’s a message about how we have come to the place of using terms ...read more
