     | 5,888 views

    The wonderful things God reveals to us when we are totally focused on Him in centering prayer.

    READ PASSAGE. When I first read this passage, I saw examples of centered prayer and how God can speak to you and will speak to you if we will only center on Him and listen to what He has to say.

    Isn’t it true that when humans fail, sin, even commit the most awful injustices, God’s mercy is ever present, ever able to forgive when we repent?

    The season we begin tomorrow is a time to draw near to God so that He can draw near to us.

    Tuesday of the 7th Week in Course Mardi Gras Passions. We don’t hear much about that plural noun lately. Oh, the word “passion” turns up in seamy novels and videos, I suppose.

  • Thirty-Second Sunday In Ordinary Time, C--The Sadducees

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 12, 2022
     | 1,072 views

    I believe the question I would have asked the Sadducees would be, “Was this woman taking out life insurance policies on all these husbands?”

    One of my seminary professors said that it’s easy to remember who the Sadducees were because since they denied that there is a resurrection, they were “so sad you see.” The Sadducees were the ancient version of modern liberal theologians. They were anti-supernaturalistic. They only accepted the ...read more

    Just like the Sadducees, we can selectively read scripture and so make false and disastrous assumptions about Christ and his call (Luke 20:27-40)

    One of the curious things about religious people is that they can develop very fixed ideas about what is right and what is wrong. Sometimes these are bolstered by appeals to their religious texts, sometimes it is based on experience, or a sort of philosophical position. Jesus interaction with the ...read more

    God desires a relationship with us, so first we have to make space for God. The second step is to connect to God. But the problem is we aren’t connected to God or even other people. And if we are, it’s infrequent and usually casual or shallow. That leads

    Plugging Into God John 15:5-8 In this sermon series, we’re asking you to look at yourself through a new lens, as that of an apprentice of Jesus. An apprentice is someone who is bound to another for a certain amount of time to learn an art or trade in which the master is an expert. To be a ...read more

    What is Biblical meditation and how is it beneficial for Christians?

    Psa 119:97 m Mem. O how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day. Most Christians have listened again and again to admonitions that they read the Bible for themselves.

     | 5,941 views

    The past perfect used in this way is known as “tenses of vision” or the “prophetic perfect.” Isaiah is assuring us that the message being proclaimed will surely come to pass.

    A customer called the customer service line to complain about a power outage after a big storm, then stopped raging long enough to ask, “How will I know when my lights are back on?” The customer service agent remained silent for a second, debating about the best way to answer such an obvious, even ...read more
