Contributed by The Rev Deniray Mueller on Mar 16, 2020

Jesus’ disciples asked, “Rabbi, who sinned so that he was born blind, this man or his parents?” Jesus answered, “Neither he nor his parents. This happened so that God’s mighty works might be displayed in him. While I am in the world, I ...read more

Love: The Reason It's Most Important

And Now, The Weather Series

Contributed by James Jackson on Jun 22, 2020

The Big Idea: We don’t always like the warnings Scripture gives us. In the parable of the wicked tenants, Jesus warns the religious leaders of of the consequences of not bearing the fruit God is looking for.

Since we’ve titled this series “Good News,” a lot of the sermon titles have related to the news—“The most trusted name in News,” “A Slow News Day,” “The Rest of the Story—” stuff like that. So that’s where this title comes from, and I’ll talk more about this later. An interesting thing about ...read more

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jun 28, 2020

Today's sermon looks at love not only as life's driving priority, and how love is life's defining principle, but also how love, as described and commanded by Jesus is a believer's job description.

The People Who Know Their God

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jul 27, 2020

All of us love to do exploits. Everyone wants to accomplish something great. Who doesn’t like to do great things? However, believe me, we all can carry out, not just exploits, but great exploits. There is only one condition for that. We must know our God – the Creator of heaven and earth.

The Shema.

Contributed by Roy Fowler on Oct 30, 2021

The Shema is said twice a day by the Jews. It was important to Jesus because it covered all the 10 Commandment in an easy way to remember and apply them to our lives. They are easy to learn and God uses them to either accept our offerings and sacrifices or not. This isn't salvation.

Sermon Title: The Shema. Scripture Text: Mark 12:28-34 Illustration: I was teaching the Senior Youth. I told them I could say the 10 commandment without saying them without memorization. Can you? In our text today, as usual, they were trying to trip Jesus up to entrap Him. Asking ...read more

Thirty-First Sunday In Ordinary Time, B: Shema

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 16, 2024

Prostrating oneself in prayer helps me to mean all the words of this creed, with all its intensity and wide scope.

This is the most Jewish and Catholic prayer possible, in our Gospel today, from Mark 12:29, which Jews call the Shema, which means “hear” in Hebrew-- we have the first line of the Shema in our Gospel today: “Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all ...read more
