    Names For Communion

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Aug 3, 2022
     | 4,248 views

    Let’s look at some common names for communion. First of all, is the word communion even used for the ceremony of the bread and cup? That depends on the translation of the Bible.

    Let’s look at some common names for communion. First of all, is the word communion even used for the ceremony of the bread and cup? That depends on the translation of the Bible. “The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of [participation, sharing in] the blood of Christ? The ...read more

    The Body And Blood Of Christ; Corpus Christi; The Lord's Supper

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 17, 2023
     | 1,814 views

    In one and the same act, Judas hands Christ over to be sent to death, and Christ hands himself over in his self-giving in the Eucharist to us.

    St. Thomas Aquinas says we often remember unusual things better than familiar things because things with a weird twist make a greater impression on the mind, which is also validated by the modern neuroscience of memory. So, here are some unusual truths about the Eucharist: The customary or valid ...read more

    Thinking About God

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Mar 15, 2022
     | 1,017 views

    Does the existence of God also mean that He knows how we, His creatures best function? Does that mean that He loves us? Does it mean that we can get to know Him personally? Jesus gave a simple two step process that one should think about when confronted with the truth of the Gospel.

    Gratitude Always

    Contributed by David Zachrich on Nov 20, 2022

     | 2,200 views

    It is good to be reminded about gratitude because it is not always in our hearts or on our minds. No, instead of gratitude, anxiety is.

    Philippians 4:6 “Gratitude Always” Friends in Christ, I hope for you – for your family, your friends – that these next several days are happy ones. I hope that you have time to enjoy good people, good food, good times as our nation reminds us to be grateful for the blessings we have ...read more

    “Heavenly bread, hellish misunderstanding.”

    Some years ago there was a Scottish regiment stationed in Edinburgh Castle. Some of the regiment’s officers were devout men. And every evening they’d gather together and drink a toast. The toast went like this: "A clean sword and a dirty Bible." The clean sword referred to their ...read more

    The Cross

    Contributed by Alvan Lewis on Feb 3, 2020
     | 4,605 views

    Why is the Cross of Christ even more important than the teachings of Christ?

    Once upon a time there was a country church that had an ivy plant growing up by the front door. Over the doorway was a text carved in stone, "We preach Christ crucified". Over the years the plant grew and a branch gradually spread over the doorway. The first word of the text covered by ...read more

    God Can Use Anyone! Series

    Contributed by Paul Clemente on Feb 25, 2020
     | 3,998 views

    Although none of us are perfect and we can still have fears, God can take one godly thing we do in life and grow the Kingdom of God exponentially!!

    Again, part of worshiping God is to listen to His Words and learn godly applications for our lives. Please open your Bibles to Judges 9….. Last week we noted one of Gideon’s sons, Abimelech, proclaimed himself king and killed all of his brothers; but the youngest brother Jotham escaped. In Judges ...read more

    How Did You Say We Are Made Complete? On A Cross?! Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 14, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,479 views

    Because this is the only way we sinners can be made clean, rescued from eternal death, we draw near to Calvary and look on the crucified Savior.

    Today’s Scriptures are powerful, and that’s an understatement. The verse to memorize for understanding the Gospel, and application to our life, is “unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone”. We’ll see that presently. The context of these words is a feast, where ...read more

    The Jewish Roots Of The Lord’s Supper

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Aug 2, 2021
     | 1,835 views

    The Lord’s Supper is rich with meaning, but best understood in its original context. We can move in that direction by looking at the Jewish Roots of this meaningful ritual.

    The Jewish Roots of the Lord’s Supper (I Corinthians 10:1-5 and chapter 11:23, 26, passim) 1. A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon. Four worms were placed into four separate jars: The first worm was put into a container of alcohol. The second worm ...read more

    Jesus, Son Of David, Have Mercy Series

     | 2,033 views

    Jesus can bring all of humanity back together in His community, in His Church, in His Kingdom.

    The prophet Jeremiah has a really bad rep. Of course, his prophetic book doesn’t help that much when one of his most famous prayers to God is “Thou hast deceived me, O Lord, and I am deceived: thou hast been stronger than I, and thou hast prevailed. I am become a laughing-stock all the day, all ...read more

    Gold, Incense And Myrrh--And Mystery Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 1, 2022
     | 2,239 views

    Perhaps we can learn more about Jesus, and his wise visitors, by asking ourselves who was upset by these gifts?

    Epiphany Homily Gold, incense and myrrh. Treasure, sweet-smelling smoke and embalming spices. Three mysterious men from the East, who appear for a moment in Matthew's Gospel, bring gifts to the newborn Jesus, and then vanish into the history and theology books. In a new millennium, why should ...read more

    The Fact Of Scripture Over The Words Of Fools

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 23, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,273 views

    In 1910, evangelist Dr. R.A. Torrey presented a series of revival messages, that are still powerful in their ability to make people think about their souls and the need for a Savior. This is a revision of one of those messages given before an audience in Edwardian England, still relevant today.

    The Scriptures do not soothe ruffled feelings nor do they strengthen egos devoid of belief in or trust of God. An atheist is, in God's eyes, a FOOL (Psalm 14:1). Human pride and self-centeredness are roadblocks we set up with help from the enemy of our souls to deafen and blind ourselves to ...read more

    There is a saying: If you have the Word without the Spirit, you dry up."

    PENTECOST intro to Penitential rite— The Spirit sanctifies. There is a saying: If you have the Word without the Spirit, you dry up."
