Our Confession Of Sin Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 14, 2019

Like Abraham, Jacob and David, and like all of our individual ancestors, we fall short of the mark too often–committing venial sins of omission and commission, and perhaps even total turn-aways from God’s plan.

Tuesday of the 3rd Week in Advent 2019 Our Confession of Sin I have to admit that this is one of my favorite weekday Masses in the whole Lectionary, because we hear the genealogy of Our Lord Jesus. These old Hebrew names don’t necessarily roll off the tongue, but the list is important, because ...read more

When God Shows Up

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jul 23, 2017

Jacob had an encounter with God that shook him to his core. This fugitive on the run discovered that his ancestors' God was his God, and that this God would be with him wherever he went. Great lessons for us to learn on our faith pilgrimage.

You might expect to encounter God at a church retreat or a revival meeting, or in an inspiring church service. You might expect to find God when you are serving him with all your heart. But Jacob had ...read more

Sermon # 33 - God's Unchanging Laws Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 31, 2023

We are indeed saved by grace, but does that mean that the laws of God given in the Old Testament are no longer applicable to us? God’s word gives us clarity, and helps us to understand how God’s grace and God’s laws apply to us today.

In Romans 3:31, Paul writes, “Does this mean that by this faith we do away with the Law? No, not at all; instead, we uphold the Law.” (GNB) There is a lot of teaching on the grace of God and faith that we must place in Him. Grace and faith are fundamental for our walk with God, but it is important ...read more
