    Having A Contrite Heart

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Oct 23, 2025
     | 299 views

    The parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector show us the importance of having a contrite heart that is aware of one's own sinfulness and lives in appreciation of God's mercy.

    ONE OF THE CHURCH’S ANCIENT LITURGIES IS WHEN THE PRIEST STARTED MASS WITH THE PRAYER “LORD, YOU WERE SENT TO HEAL THE CONTRITE OF HEART.” THE RESPONSE OF THE PEOPLE WAS TO SAY, “LORD, HAVE MERCY.” WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE A CONTRITE HEART AND TO SEEK GOD’S MERCY? TO HAVE A CONTRITE HEART MEANS ...read more

    Thirtieth Sunday In Ordinary Time - Year C. In Defense Of The Pharisee And Tax Collector

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 25, 2025
     | 229 views

    Jesus indicates that the Pharisee's virtue was destroyed by pride, but he certainly was objectively living a good moral life.

    Let’s see what the Pharisee did right, and the tax collector— The Pharisee prayed- 'O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity --greedy, dishonest, adulterous -- or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income.' Jesus indicates ...read more

    The Christian Religion According To Jesus Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Dec 22, 2025
     | 175 views

    Jesus helps us to see that His followers should be marked by humility, faith, and devotion.

    What is a good Christian like? Is it someone who doesn’t as the saying goes “drink or smoke or cuss or chew or date/marry people who do”? Is it someone who faithfully attends church? Is it someone who waits until marriage to engage in sexual activity? Is it someone who is morally upright? Is ...read more

    What God Delights To See Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Sep 8, 2025
     | 810 views

    Paul expresses what God delights to see when His people gather. Men to seek God and pray with pure hearts, women dressed to honour God, and both men and women playing their distinct roles in serving God.

    1 Timothy 2:8-15 What God Delights to See 1 Tim 2:8-15 8 I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarrelling; 9likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with ...read more

    In this parable, we will see that one man came to the temple that day to worship himself. The other man came that day to worship the Lord.

    LUKE 18:9-14 "THE DOWNWARD CLIMB UP" September 14, 2025 This sermon is inspired by my time with the late Crawford Kimble. He told me a story of a young preacher, fresh out of seminary, a model student. He was given an opportunity to preach at a small church. He proudly and boldly walked ...read more

    A Deep Dive Into Sin........., Judgement And Grace. Series

     | 1,405 views

    There is a pattern established by God. That of Sin, judgement and grace. We look at how this is depicted in Genesis chapters 1-20.

    A deep dive into Sin, Judgment and Grace. We started last week's message with a review of the events from creation, up until the birth of Abram who would go onto have his name changed to Abraham, which means The Father of Many. Rochelle and I got home and discussed the message and the amount ...read more

    You may have been a high class moral wretch or a low class immoral wretch, but you were still a wretch.

    Luke 18:10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12 I fast twice in the week, I give ...read more

    This message is about self-righteousness and how Christians can easily fall into this attitude when we stand in judgment of others.

    At Least I Am Not That! Scripture: Luke 18:9-14; Romans 10:3; Proverbs 26:12 Good morning Strangers Rest. The title of my message this morning is “At Least I Am Not That” and it is a message about being self-righteous.

    Two Revealing Prayers Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 28, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,649 views

    This passage records two prayers, in which are shown two kinds of hearts, whose contrast is not only seen in the way they make their requests, but also in the way they approach God. Some people trust in themselves; others trust in God.

    This evening’s sermon is entitled “Two Revealing Prayers,” and it’s taken from what is commonly called “The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector.” Darrell Bock, in The NIV Application Commentary, says, “This parable is really the parable of the two prayers. In those prayers appear two ...read more

    "Can You Hear Me Now?” (Sermon 2 Of 3 On Prayer)

     | 1,510 views

    Pastors do a lot of preaching on prayer because they know how important it is to us Christians.

    But many preachers are guilty of telling Christians they should pray, but they do not tell them from the scriptures HOW TO PRAY EFFECTIVELY. The fact is, if we cannot pray effective prayers why bother to pray at all. If you ask the average Christian do they know how to pray they would tell you ...read more

    The proud man standing in the front of that worship space seems to be praying to himself and patting himself on the back for his many good deeds.

    Saturday of the Third Week in Lent 2024 Today’s psalm, titled the Miserere in Latin, is about one-third of the way through the number of psalms in that book.

    Many people teach and practice things that are not in the Bible. Here is a sample of my book, "But Is It In The Bible?"

    At the outset, let me assure the reader that I believe that we are saved by grace through faith. We do not earn, merit, or work for salvation. It is a free gift, paid for and delivered by Jesus. But it is appropriated by faith. Faith is always more than mere head stuff. It is more than assent to ...read more
