    The Twin Loves And Saint Louis Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 6, 2019
     | 2,275 views

    Whatever our state of life, we are called to live and die in love. We are called to follow Jesus and to become saints ourselves.

    January 10, 2019 St. Louis of Toulouse Every day we wake up, we wake up to the understanding that our being able to wake up is a divine gift. Every night when we retire saying our night prayers, we make an act of confidence in God, trusting that if we die that night, we are in the care of the ...read more

    Life-Changing Lessons: Rejection At Nazareth

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 7, 2019
     | 8,852 views

    “When God closes a door, he opens a window, but it's up to you to find it. In the meantime, you can praise Him in the hallway.”

    If you never get a no, then you aren’t taking enough chances. But the same areas of the brain become activated when we experience rejection as when we experience physical pain. This is why rejection hurts so much (neurologically speaking). Patience under disappointment is one of the great ...read more

    Why are God's people so dull of hearing?

    Jesus Comes to Nazareth: An Exposition of Luke 4:14-30 In the previous passage, we saw that after His baptism by John, He was driven by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness of Judaea. There he had fasted for forty days. At the end of this period, while he was as humanly weak as was possible, He was ...read more

    People in general do not like to be reminded of their short-comings.

    Fulfilled Luke 4: 21 - 30 Intro: An older lady sat in the worship service of a little Presbyterian Church in a quaint southern town.

    Is Jesus What You Expected?

    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,506 views

    Jesus' sermon in his hometown synagogue might not have gone as you would expect. But Jesus shows us that his Word is sometimes welcomed, other times rejected, but ALWAYS powerful.

    Expectations. “Do you really think that we’re going to get all that snow that they say we’re supposed to get?” “Have you heard about the frigid temperatures that are predicted?” “Do you think that they’ll cancel school?” The expectations, the anticipation and the excitement was hard to escape. ...read more

    The Danger Of Knowing Too Much - When We Know Too Much!

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 10, 2022
     | 3,034 views

    Knowing too much can be called “The Joseph’s Son Syndrome.” It will cause you reject the help you need; overlook people you need and ignore the possibility of what could be.

    Sermon – When We Know Too Much! Luke 4:14-30 “Then Jesus returned to Galilee, filled with the Holy Spirit’s power. Reports about him spread quickly through the whole region. 15 He taught regularly in their synagogues and was praised by everyone. 16 When he came to the village of Nazareth, his ...read more

    Love Without Limits (January 30, 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 11, 2022
     | 2,990 views

    Now if love is supposed to be the greatest, and it is, then why did Jesus’s preaching about love in Luke 4:21 -30 provoke those in the congregation so badly? It provoked them so badly, that they wanted to throw Him off a cliff!

    LOVE WITHOUT LIMITS Text: I Corinthians 13:1- 13 1 Corinthians 13:1-13  If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.  (2)  And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I ...read more

    Embracing Grace

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 2, 2022
     | 2,764 views

    The vast majority of people do not "accept" Christ (Luke 4:24) but refuse the "favor" (grace) He offers (v. 19). God has sent Christ to offer His grace. We must embrace the grace offered in Christ. Luke shows us how.

    There’s a key word in this passage that I would like to point out. It is not obvious in the English, so it’s a bit tricky. But the word ‘favor’ in verse 19 and the word ‘acceptable’ in verse 24 render the same Greek word, which is dektos. In fact, in the King James Version it is translated ...read more

    Why did Jesus not heal many of the sick in His own home town?

    Monday of 22nd week in Course 1 Cor 2: 1-5; Lk 4: 16-30 Hearing today’s Gospel with fresh ears might lead some of us to be a little critical of Jesus. After all, the townsfolk of Nazareth welcomed Jesus back and invited Him to act as lector and even give the homily. When he told them that He was ...read more

    There is one reason why someone who has heard the truth of the Gospel does not commit their life to Jesus. Do you know what it is?

    Introduction In recent weeks, there have been concerted and coordinated efforts by the liberal left to silence - even exterminate conservative voice. The uprising by supporters of President Trump at the US Capitol has fueled that effort. Tech giants like Google (YouTube) Facebook, and Twitter are ...read more
