    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 19, 2013
     | 3,786 views

    Just as Jesus learned obedience through suffering, so St. Agnes and all the saints; we celebrate this in every Mass.

    Monday of 2nd Week in Course 21 Jan 2013: St. Agnes Sacrosanctum Concilium Jesus offered up prayers and supplications during his mortal life, with loud cries and tears, to the one who could save Him from death–His eternal Father, and He was heard.

    Discovering God

     | 7,007 views

    As Christians we are on a journey that should cause us to discover the God we serve. I believe we find this to true in the biblical character Jacob's life in which I would like to make application from.

    Discovering God Genesis 47:7-10, 27-31 The journey of Jacob is an amazing story of a man finding his way through life with at the beginning trusting in what came natural for him. Somewhere along the way he truly discovers the God of his fathers. In many ways our lives are similar to the life of ...read more

     | 4,574 views

    God has always talked to His children in dreams. Our culture has lost the significance and value of visions and dreams.

    We started last week by studying the dream that Jacob had at Bethel. Today we are going to see some more examples of dreams in the Bible. Introduction The ancients understood that the world of dreams opens a channel of communication between mankind and the spiritual world, and opens sleepers to a ...read more

    Coming To The Altar Of Prayer

    Contributed by David King on Apr 24, 2008

     | 32,124 views

    If you will not faint you must pray. If you must pray then, you must pray aright. Nothing on earth is more frustrating than to invest in prayers that have no profit.

    COMING TO THE ALTAR OF PRAYER To every believer in Christ, prayer is a life-long business. Jesus commanded men to always pray and not to faint. Lk.18:1. Paul admonished all believers to pray without ceasing. 1Thess.5: 17. Prayer is dependence of earth on heaven. It is involvement ...read more

    Matt helps us see through this story how we can and need to engage religious people in our culture to help them understand the gospel.

    Introduction: It is our responsibility to engage the culture with the gospel. God calls us to send us out. In the story of Nicodemus, we see Jesus confront a religious person with the truth of what it means to be a member in the Kingdom of God. Matt helps us see through this story how we can and ...read more

    Our salvation consists of more than the forgiveness of our sins so that when we die we will go to heaven.

    “THE PURCHASED POSSESSION” TEXT: Ephesians 1:11-14 “In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things (manipulating, moving, maneuvering, & arranging all things according to His purposes) according to the counsel of His will, that ...read more

    Jesus' bodily Presence is not all: He is with us for ever.

    THE EMPTY TOMB. John 20:1-18. While Jesus’ enemies had been busying themselves setting a watch over His tomb, the disciples had been sitting quietly at home, keeping the Sabbath.

    When the devil comes upon you like a roaring lion and tries to devour you God will deliver you from his snares.

    It seems that the earthly kings that Daniel served would never learn. We say last week how Nebuchadnezzar was so easily manipulated by people and so full of himself that he set an unjust law and followed through with an unjust punishment. But God delivered his faithful servants from the fire. We ...read more

    God Does Want Humans To Be One In Mind And Heart Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 13, 2014
     | 4,787 views

    Faith gives us a heightened respect for nature so that we "discern in it a grammar written by the hand of God." God's Fatherhood makes it possible for us to live together with one heart and one will.

    Thursday of the 11th Week in Course 2014 Lumen Fidei Where did we get the idea that God is our Father? Surely the definitive statement of God’s fatherhood is in this prayer we learned from Jesus, the Son. Still, we didn’t fully know what a father is until Jesus came and established ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,848 views

    The innocent, powerful, sin-cleansing, divine, ever-powerful, crimson blood of Jesus Christ is worth talking about and singing about. His blood has never lost its power. It is the only thing that can save the soul of man.

    BLESSED BY MEANS OF THE BLOOD The RED blood applied to a BLACK heart, will make it WHITE as snow. Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. 1 ...read more

    The Road To Easter Runs Through A Cemetery

    Contributed by Mari Larson on Apr 23, 2014
     | 4,914 views

    Good Friday was a necessary part of the Easter journey. The sermon shares a Leonard Sweet story about bell-ringing. (Each person who came to worship received a bell as they entered.)

    They thought it was over. Jesus was dead and buried. The religious folks sighed with satisfaction. His followers wept in grief. But they were wrong! They were all wrong! From this side of Easter, we can call Friday “Good” because we know that it was not over, all had not been ...read more
