Be An Iwitness

Contributed by David Owens on May 9, 2022

Jesus has given the Great Commission to His followers. Sometimes disciples are too intimidated or confused about how to fulfill that commission. This sermon offers a simple model for outreach as God's eyewitnesses.

Living A Life Of Purpose.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Jun 23, 2022

Zacchaeus was despised by the Pharisees – the most orthodox faith of the Jews. Jesus was rebuked by them for even eating with tax collectors (Mt. 9:11; Mk. 2:16; Lk. 5:30).

Living A Life Of Purpose. Luke 19:1-10NLT Recently, in a Delta flight magazine, one author wrote a column about a new course at Harvard business school for business leaders. At a cost of $13,000, the executives study absolutely nothing about business. Instead, for six days they ...read more

On The Way To Jerusalem

Contributed by Martin Ellgar on May 10, 2015

A perspective on Luke 19: On the road to Jerusalem, Jesus stopped to give life to others according to their needs. Jesus teaches that we all need to stop from time to time and give life to someone in need. In this way we live in his kingdom.

On The Way To Jerusalem Introduction “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord” (v.38), so shouted the expectant crowd that surrounded Jesus as he made his way to Jerusalem. The subject of that verse clearly expresses a major theme of chapter 19. The Gospel writer, Luke ...read more

SALVATION AND HEALING IN LUKE: A HOLISTIC GOSPEL. The Apostle Paul calls Luke, “the beloved Physician” (Colossians 4:14).

Running Your Race

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 14, 2022

In this life, every single person is running a race. It’s either a race that will lead to an eternity with Jesus or it’s a race that will separate them from Jesus.

Turn with me to Hebrews 12 and look at the last part of verse one: “… let us run with patience the race that is set before us.” Each one of us is running a race. And many of us don’t know it. Whether we are sons of God on our way to an eternity with our Father, or whether we are sons of Adam ...read more

How Can Anyone Call Good Evil And Evil Good?

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 20, 2022

Perhaps we can better understand how it might be that a Catholic politician would be so saturated with a dominant secular opinion, supported by millions of dollars of donations, that even the gravest anti-human evil could be good.

Thirty-First Sunday in Course 2022 Good morning, fellow sinners. If we forget that sobering fact, the Liturgy reminds us every time we come to Mass of our moral insufficiencies.
