…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.

The Meaning Of Jesus' Resurrection Series

Contributed by William Baeta on Feb 12, 2025

“If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.” (1 Corinthians 15:19-20 ESV)
