    A Gentile In The Temple Precincts? Horrors!

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 30, 2022
     | 872 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

    The Need For Unity

    Contributed by Larry Benton on Jun 28, 2022
     | 2,473 views

    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
     | 3,234 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

    Before The Beginning Series

    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

     | 5,233 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

    Matt. 8:26 says that Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the waves, and it was completely calm. It wasn't just somewhat calm, but completely calm. What are some other ways the bible use the word, complete?

    COMPLETELY (part one) Last week, in my sermon on sleeping in heavenly peace, I talked about the boat story, where Jesus was sleeping on a cushion while the disciples were battling the storm. Matt. 8:26 says that Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the waves, and it was completely calm. I thought ...read more

    Can A Person Know Jesus Intimately?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Sep 6, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,525 views

    I believe that the essential issue in the church today is the need to grow in intimacy with Jesus, the Creator God of all things.

    God desires to have a personal, intimate, loving, dynamic, and powerful relationship with every person on the planet. WHAT IS INTIMACY? To develop an intimate relationship with Jesus, we need to define what that looks like. Some have said that intimacy means "in-to-me-see" and begins ...read more
