Service With Love

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 9, 2022

That more excellent way is the exercise of the gifts in agapē.

St John Chrysostom Jesus seems to have had a special place in His Sacred Heart for widows and orphans.

Of course, it is clear that by the time Jesus was ...read more

TRUE REPENTANCE HATES THE SIN, AND NOT MERELY THE PENALTY; AND IT HATES THE SIN MOST OF ALL BECAUSE IT HAS DISCOVERED AND HAS FELT GOD'S REDEEMING LOVE. I THINK BILLY GRAHAM MADE AN INTERESTING COMMENTARY ABOUT SINFULNESS AND HOW SUCH SINFULNESS HAS BEEN LIKE A DISEASE RUNNING RAMPANT IN OUR ...read more

Let God Be Bigger

Contributed by Daniel Mccalister on Jan 13, 2016

The focus of this sermon was to help our students know the purpose of letting God become greater and for them to become less, and that he is theirs, always with them.

Let God be Bigger: John 3:30 Sometimes in our lives we forget about what is truly important. We are always go go go, and rarely stop to thank the person/people in that means most to us in our lives.

No Greater Love

Contributed by Craig Condon on Feb 3, 2015

We must remember what it was like before Jesus came into our lives with his presence and power. We must never forget. We must never lose sight of where we were when he came and just how far he has brought us.

A 14th century monk announced to the people of his village that he was going to preach the greatest sermon ever preached on the love of God. He urged everyone to attend.

The Bread Of Life

Contributed by Craig Condon on Feb 4, 2015

Most important; however, is the need to be thankful for the spiritual food and the blessings it brings. We must always allow these blessings to draw us closer to God in faith, hope and love.

When I was doing the research for my homily, I came across a story that I think fits in quite well with this morning's Gospel reading, so I'd like to share it with you. It might also serve as a warning to those of us who preach sermons! An elderly minister was searching in his closet for his ...read more

Coming Down The Mountain

COMING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN. Matthew 17:10-27. Peter, James, and John had been in the mountain with Jesus. There they had seen Moses and Elijah, talking with our transfigured Lord (cf. Matthew 17:2-3).

Honored Except At Home (Mark 6)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jun 30, 2024

Was even Jesus honored except at home? Let's look at Mark 6.

Did Jesus do many miracles in places where He was dishonored? What was the purpose of the first short-term mission trip? Why was John the baptist killed? How did Jesus provide for the 5000? Did Jesus take time alone to pray? Were the disciples' hearts still hardened? Let’s look at Mark 6. Why ...read more

An Unlikely Author Of A Gospel Series

Contributed by David Owens on Mar 6, 2023

In this first sermon in the series on the Gospel of Mark, we want to answer the questions: who was Mark and why is he an unlikely author of a Gospel.

A. One day a woman was cleaning her house and singing Gospel songs as she worked. 1. She began singing, “Soon and very soon, we are going to see the king...” 2. A few minutes later, she heard her young son in the next room and he was singing the same song, but something a little off. 3. Listen to ...read more

Do we respect the law of God or not?

Saturday of the 17th week in Course 2023 Our OT reading today continues the narrative of the Book of Leviticus, the main tradition of the Hebrew priestly class, in a sense the memories of the tribe of Levi.

Third Sunday Of Advent, Year C: Advent Joy On Gaudete Sunday

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 21, 2024

How many admonishing or warning songs or hymns can you find?

Today the Church takes a break from the penitential color violet (often referred to as purple) which symbolizes penance particularly because Pilate dressed Jesus in a purple robe to mock his kingship. Today, however, is Gaudete Sunday and the color is Rose (often referred to as pink) as we ...read more
