    A Gentile In The Temple Precincts? Horrors!

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 30, 2022
     | 975 views

    The whole ministry of the Israelites to our fallen world was supposed to be to offer right worship and right living to God, and be so attractive to the pagans that they drew them into right worship and right living.

    Thursday of 7th Week in Easter It would be great if all of us were following St. Paul’s trials and troubles chapter by chapter along with hearing them proclaimed at Mass. The scene is this: Paul has journeyed with his disciples to Jerusalem. Some of them were Gentiles and most were probably Jewish ...read more

    A Celebration Of Unity

    Deep divisions over politics, pandemic responses, vaccines, racial and ethnic justice, and many other issues abound. The church should be a safe haven from the divisiveness. How do we live together in unity that the psalmist celebrates? What does it mean to live in unity with today’s realities?

    Sermon - A Celebration of Unity Scripture Text - Psalm 133:1-3 “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;3 As ...read more

    Unity

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Oct 23, 2021
     | 7,098 views

    The unity of followers is one of the most important - and yet problematic - charisteristics of the disciples. Jesus prayed for it the last night he would be with his chosen disciples. Yet since then the church has been characterized in the eyes of the world as riddled with division and strife.

    What Makes Us One?

     | 8,955 views

    You can put a bunch of cats in a burlap bag and you'll have ONE bag full of cats, but you won't have unity. So what makes us one body? The answer is so obvious we sometimes miss it.

    OPEN: Today is our “Unity Service”. We have 3 different languages represented: Burmese; Spanish and English. A lot of us look forward to this worship service because (despite the fact that we come from different backgrounds) we all really seem to like each other. I believe that this is the type of ...read more

    Without Unity, the church will lose it's light. It will no longer be able to show the light of Christ to a lost world.

    THE NEED FOR UNITY We are told that the church is to be salt and light, a beacon to a lost world. But we will lose our light, our mission if there is not unity in our church. Let us look this morning at how Jesus wants his earthly body, the church, to function. But first let us pray. Prayer 1 ...read more

    Dealing With Contradictions

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 8, 2021
     | 3,555 views

    As Christians, we live in world that is foreign to us. We live in a world that contradicts the life that Jesus lived - a life that He said we could also live. This message examines the reasons why we face contradictions in our lives and how to deal with them.

    In the Gospels, Jesus uses a method of teaching known as parables to communicate principles about the kingdom of God. A parable compares two things by placing them side by side. By using parables, Jesus compares the unfamiliar, the kingdom of God, to the familiar, nature and life experiences. ...read more

    Had God alone been there from the beginning, there would be no thing or no one for Him to love. But God was not alone. The Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit were three in one. So God is relational before anything else.

    The Bible is a single story. It doesn’t appear to be one story. The Bible is a long book, written over 1,500 years and in numerous different genres. But if you look closely enough, you’ll find one cohesive story. It is one single story with unity and a compelling narrative. And we can summarize ...read more

     | 5,613 views

    The importance of protecting the unity of the church and practical principles and steps for doing so.

    We'd like to think that the church is immune to conflict and disagreement. After all, we're all Christians here. Right? Well, don't be naive. Hopefully, we're all striving to be like Christ. But we're also humans who sometimes fall short. We say things or react before we ...read more
