Blessed?

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Feb 20, 2019

Where do you look to for evidence of God's blessing? Are you looking to the right places? Jesus tells us to look to some rather unusual places to find his blessing while also providing us with a list of warnings.

How are you doing this morning? There used to be a man who when he walked into church on Sunday mornings and I asked him how he was doing, he would respond with a single word. He would say, “Blessed!” Every week he said the same thing. How many of us would give that response today? Maybe all ...read more

Touched By His Power Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 15, 2018

When Jesus healed people "power went out from Him". This isn't the only time "Power" is spoken about as "coming out" from Jesus when He performed His miracles. What does that mean and what can it mean to us?

Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year C- The Beatitudes: Area Code 212 Or 04?

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 20, 2025

Heaven is not just up, but in.

The 212-area code is Manhattan, and it’s a status symbol as one of the most recognizable area codes in the United States. It’s considered more authentic than the more recent 646, 332 or 917 area codes for Manhattan. With a 212 Manhattan phone number, you’re sure to turn some heads, stand out from ...read more

Luke's Beatitudes Series

…all the crowd were trying to touch him, for power came out from him and healed all of them. Then he looked up at his disciples… I am afraid that today’s sermon is one of those more academic messages. The Gospels According to Mark, Matthew, and Luke all contain “Beatitudes.” Those first two bear ...read more

Black And White Morality--Absolutely!

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 12, 2025

Jeremiah knew what God wanted for them, but they continually rebelled.

Sixth Sunday in Course 2025 It’s likely that if you were educated, as I was, mostly in the 1960s or later, you might have bristled a bit at today’s Scripture passages. They have moral language that is very much black-and-white. If you trust in God and follow His way, you’ll bear much fruit; if you ...read more

It is significant because when Jesus rose from the dead, He proved that He was exactly who He claimed to be, the Son of God, and had accomplished what He came to ...read more
