    Prayer That Impresses God Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Oct 23, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 384 views

    If you want to impress God with your prayers, stop trusting yourself and start trusting the Lord. Reject any self-righteous pride and recognize your own sinful, spiritual poverty.

    For years, Mike Atkinson has published a daily email humor list, which I enjoy reading. He calls it “Mikey’s Funnies,” and several years ago, he wrote: If you can start the day without caffeine; if you can get going without pep pills; if you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains; if ...read more

    Having A Contrite Heart

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Oct 23, 2025
     | 308 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
     | 236 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

    Holy Masks

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 3, 2025
     | 228 views

    True worship begins when performance ends; Jesus frees us from religion’s stage to live honestly before the Father who sees in secret.

    If you’ve ever stood backstage before the curtain rises, you know that trembling hush—the buzz, the heartbeat, the thought: Will they like it? That’s performance. And you don’t need a theater to feel it. The biggest stage ever built fits in our pockets. Every post, every selfie, every opinion ...read more

    Religious Play-Acting

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 10, 2025
     | 233 views

    Jesus frees us from religion’s stage—calling us from performance to presence, from spotlight to sunlight, to live unmasked before the Father.

    Religious Play-Acting The Sermon on the Mount opens with blessing and ends with a choice: sand or rock, appearance or obedience. Between those two poles, Matthew 6 sits like a quiet heart—Jesus’ exposition of motive. Here the Lord shifts from what disciples do to why they do it. He moves from ...read more

    Sermon # 43- No Room For Self-Righteousness Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 22, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 521 views

    Self-righteous Jonah rejoiced over a plant that gave him shade, but had not compassion on the people of Nineveh who genuinely repented of their sins. There’s no room for self-righteousness, as all of us are sinners saved by God's grace alone.

    We read in Jonah 4:6, “Then the LORD God made a plant grow up over Jonah to give him some shade, so that he would be more comfortable. Jonah was extremely pleased with the plant.” (GNB) As we studied the life of Jonah there are numerous lessons that we have picked up, both for our personal lives, ...read more

    Most of us are familiar with the parables of Jesus. What does the parable in Luke 18 mean?

    PERSEVERANCE IN PRAYER AND HUMILITY Key Scripture: Luke 18:1-14 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always prapy and not give up.

    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.

    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.

    Why People Fail To Realize That They Are Sinners?

    Contributed by Barnabas Park on Oct 3, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 767 views

    People fail to recognize their sinfulness because they compare themselves to others instead of to God, ignore His grace, underestimating the depth of their sins, and underesimate God’s perfect righteous standard revealed through Christ’s sacrifice.

    The Apostle Paul proclaimed in Romans 1:17 that the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel. Before explaining in detail what this gospel is, he explains why this gospel is necessary and why God’s righteousness is needed in Romans 1:18–3:20 as follows: 1. Everyone is a sinner, whether Jew ...read more
