    He Would Forgive Them All

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 2, 2022
     | 768 views

    Jesus gives an opportunity for her and her accusers to repent and be forgiven and change a sinful life. By God’s grace, won for us in the crucifixion of Christ, all of us are given that chance.

    Monday of 5th week in Lent John 8 If one reads the two Bible stories we proclaim today, it is very easy to see that the Gospel is a midrash on the Susannah story from the Deuterocanonical chapters in the Book of Daniel. A midrash casts a later incident in the style of an older one, particularly ...read more

    Doing What God Asks Us To Do!

    God gave Saul an instruction but Saul only half-carried it out. This short homily is a challenge to us: Let’s do all that God asks us to do; nothing more AND nothing less!

    In these days of terrorism this Bible event is hard for us to understand; and I know of one or two people who have rejected God because of it. The irony is of course that the story is primarily kept for us as a warning not to reject God’s instructions! Hundreds of years ago, stories such as this ...read more

    In Gideon we see a truth about EXCUSES!! What is an excuse? It is A LIE WRAPPED UP IN AN EXPLANATION and you think because you have some explanation that makes the lie less ugly and more acceptable.

    GO, in the Strength YOU have Judges 6:11-14 It is really intriguing how God writes a sermon. This sermon comes out of a discussion I had with Shawn about why God blesses some churches and not others. But then, it also comes out of a book I read about Gideon. It started out as a sermon about one ...read more

    "From Good To Great"

    if you really want to be something then you must become nothing..... If you want to go up in life then you must learn to come down..... If you want more of God then there must be less of you.

    “From Good to Great” John 3:22-36 Several years ago Jim Collins wrote a book titled “Good to Great.” It is the story of how effective leaders can take a business that is already doing well and take it to the next level. One of the quotes from his book is this: ...read more

    Moms usually find themselves in less than ideal situations, but the calling to motherhood includes doing the best you can in your less-than-ideal environment.

    Moms Who Cannot Be June Cleaver (topical) 1. Not everyone has a gentle mom. A police recruit was asked during the exam, 'What would you do if you had to arrest your own mother?'

    The whining of the people of Israel following God's deliverance from slavery is too often echoed among the churches of this day. Grumbling is a serious sin against God, inviting His divine judgement.

    “The people complained in the hearing of the LORD about their misfortunes, and when the LORD heard it, his anger was kindled, and the fire of the LORD burned among them and consumed some outlying parts of the camp. Then the people cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to the LORD, and the fire died ...read more

    This passage demonstrates the principle of the church in the church. That is, there are only a few (remnant) who are grateful enough to show it. Some people call this the pareto principle - 20% or less do 80% or more of all ministry.

    Where are the other nine? LUK 17:11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. LUK 17:12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance LUK 17:13 and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on ...read more

    If we would become more compassionate and less judgmental, what would happen? We would become like a well watered garden, with flowing streams. We become Repairers of Broken Walls used by God.

    If we would become more compassionate and less judgmental, what happens? Call on the LORD and HE will answer Cry out to HIM for help and HIS answer will be this… If you stop oppressing the weak, stop making false accusations and spreading vicious rumors. STOP Gossiping.

    Make no mistake about it; some folks lives are more exciting than others. But many live a less exciting life than others. In fact, some people call our age the “Boredom Boom!”

    This boredom has driven some people: • To quit their jobs • To quit their marriages • To quit their churches • To turn to drugs and alcohol • To run away from home • To experiment with homosexuality When some people have been exposed to every kind of evil there is, they then ask, “IS THERE ANYTHING ...read more

    The answer to the “tsunami of secularism” is nothing less than a tsunami of the Spirit.

    In the film “Dead Man Walking,” there is a striking moment of contrasting pastoral styles. As the condemned prisoner, Matthew Poncelet, walks to his execution, the prison chaplain, Father Farley, suddenly appears to offer his blessing — a dispassionate ritual performed from a safe distance. ...read more
