    There is a special set of charisms and sufferings for those called to pastoral office in the Church.

    Christians, especially Catholics, should never be surprised by suffering and pain. If we are surprised, it ought to be if we do not suffer pain and disappointment and grief.

     | 40,020 views

    Today we’ll learn a significant lesson from a seemingly insignificant person. If not for Jesus pointing her out, the act of the poor widow would’ve escaped everyone’s notice and the opportunity to learn a valuable lesson would’ve been lost.

    THE POOR WIDOW’S OFFERING (Mark 12:41-44) Today we’ll learn a significant lesson from a seemingly insignificant person. If not for Jesus pointing her out, the act of the poor widow would’ve escaped everyone’s notice and the opportunity to learn a valuable lesson ...read more

    Jesus is the True Vine, not traditions, rituals, or sacrifices.

    Two hunters were out hunting and come upon what appeared at first as an abandoned farm. The barn was sagging, the house was in disrepair, and there were junk cars and car parts lying around. The only thing that made it a working farm was a few chickens pecking away and a goat wandering around. As ...read more

    The love of Christ is inexplicable and without rival on any level.

    An encouragement to raise up your 'monument' to past blessings.

    "HITHERTO HATH THE LORD HELPED US". 1 Samuel 7:3-12. Monuments are historical markers which serve to remind us of the accomplishments, or the sacrifices, of those who came before us. They are boundary stones along the time-line, signalling, ‘Something significant happened here’. Or ...read more

     | 14,611 views

    There is a need for the Fire to fall again--a pure, unprofaned, holy fire from heaven to burn away the sacrifice so that the sweet rain of the Holy Spirit can come pouring down upon this land!

    Let The Fire Fall! INTRO: I want you to see this picture (show picture on screens). This is the world famous fire falls of Yosemite National Park. This spectacular show and amazing feat was cancelled by the park services back in 1968, and has never been seen since. But my mother saw it once before ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Dec 22, 2014
     | 5,294 views

    A look at the correct understanding of "ransom" (it's not an extortion) and four key ideas that help us understand it.

    PAYING "RANSOM"? Does this mean that God gave into extortion? - 1 Timothy 2:6. - A ransom is a price paid for someone’s freedom. - It’s an easy idea to get off-track on if you don’t watch it. - How so? Sometimes a ransom is basically extortion. Someone kidnaps someone and ...read more

    HoHum: What or who was a common scapegoat in your family? I have always loved to see the spring come each year, with all that it brings, with one notable exception—spring cleaning.

    Is Your Life Sacrificial Or Superficial?

     | 5,198 views

    So many Christians believe if they were given the choice to renounce Jesus or die, that they would choose torture and death, but would they really? If we cannot make small sacrifices now, we cannot hope to make bigger ones later.

    In this sermon, I also shared the Text Illustration: The Rich Family in Church by Eddie Ogan Read story of a martyr – short one. I chose the story of Nichomachus, from Foxes Book of Martyrs. You’re living your life for Jesus Christ, but are you ready AND willing to die for Him? Could ...read more

    Believe that your labour is never in vain. Ministry is an investment. Sow and expect to reap a harvest. Believe you are never left alone. Discouragement cannot defeat you unless you allow it.

    Paul was able to stand firm despite the oppositions and the difficulties he faced. • He experienced fatigue, frustrations, fears and failures but he did not give up. • Paul weathered through all these and stood firm. This is what we can learn from him. 1 Cor 15:58 “Therefore, my ...read more

     | 6,934 views

    If you want to live a life that matters, sacrifice, suffer, submit and serve. These are 4 words we don't like very much, because they seem like steps down to obscurity, but in God's Kingdom they are steps up to true greatness.

    The movie, Pearl Harbor, tells the story of two friends, Rafe and Danny, who survive the attack on Pearl Harbor and enter World War II as fighter pilots.

    Surrender And Live

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 25, 2013
     | 8,557 views

    Being told the only way you could survive a battle is to surrender would be challenging. This is what Jeremiah told the Jews before Jerusalem was destroyed, and God is telling the us the same today. Do you want to survive spiritual war? You must surrender

    Jeremiah 38:2-6 Jeremiah's message and the reaction "Thus says the LORD: He who stays in this city shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence, but he who goes out to the Chaldeans shall live. He shall have his life as a prize of war, and live. 3 Thus says the LORD: This city shall surely ...read more
