A New Heart For A Fresh Start

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Feb 22, 2022

Jesus’ teaching and ministry was a way of reframing the use of Scripture. The Scribes had made notes that were superimposed on Scripture. Jesus holds before us a new way of living life. One based on mercy, grace, and love. Jesus modeled the heart and intent of God.

As a child we would attempt to salvage anything and everything. The house I remember from early childhood was an interesting building. When my mother wanted to clean the floor, she would pour water on the floor, scrub it with a broom, and the water would drain through the floor. The first home ...read more

Creation Simplified

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Dec 10, 2021

God’s Word tells us in Genesis about creation. We will see that the things taught in Genesis 1 are upheld throughout the rest of Scripture. Both the Old and New Testament writings affirm the Genesis account of creation.

Genesis Chapter 1 What does Genesis mean? Genesis means beginning or origin. Consider what information we would be missing if we didn’t have the book of Genesis: The history of the beginning would be missing. –how the earth was formed –how life began –how sin entered the world –how God made a ...read more

Obedience Better Than Sacrifice Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 14, 2022

Unlike any other nation, the Hebrews had a conviction, seared into their collective consciousness by the mighty deeds of God, that the one God, ruler of heaven and earth, had picked them out to be His special people.

Monday of 2nd Week in Course 1 Sam 15: 16-23; Mark 2: 18-22 One of my friends who can’t attend daily Mass but devoutly reads the lessons each day was commenting on “how boring” the recent readings from Samuel are. Well, it’s good to be candid about your understanding of Scripture, but it’s ...read more

New Wine, Old Wineskins Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 31, 2022

The Pharisees were hopping mad that Jesus and his disciples were living it up feasting, celebrating and having a good old time. Why were Jesus disciples feasting and not fasting? As usual Jesus not only answered their question, but gave them a deeply profound theological answer.

There is an old television commercial that I still remember, and I still snicker when I think about it. The commercial is in black and white. A somber old man in a cold grey stone building barks out these words; Tenacity! Gumption! Discipline! Suddenly there is color, party music and they switch ...read more

Who is Standing In Front Of You? Potential! 1 Samuel 16:6-12 Mark 2:13-17 What do you see when you look at another person? How do you sum them up? When the prophet Samuel went to choose a new king for Israel, he assumed that the new king ought to look like the old king. The ...read more

Follow Me

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Feb 19, 2022

Jesus calls all of us to follow him. And if he could use a hated tax collector named Levi, he can use us.

Where do you turn to find wisdom today? We now have access to incredible amounts of information, but how do you sort out what is important? We have the technology to do so many things, but how do we decide which of those things are worth doing? We can travel very fast, but as we race through ...read more

Showcase For Saints Or Hospital For Sinners?

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Feb 19, 2022

There is a temptation for us to put on our best front in church, a false front, and to especially welcome those who looked really good. But Jesus saw the church as especially for those who don't have it together and we will be wise to follow him.

When I was a boy, my mother used to tell us to be careful about the friends we picked. If you pick a study partner at school who doesn’t want to do school work, you won’t get much done. If you start going out at night and roving the town with kids who like to make trouble, it won’t be long before ...read more

Hidden Gold

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Feb 19, 2022

This sermon follows a short skit describing the reality TV show, American Pickers. They scanned junk and found value in it. Jesus did the same when he found Matthew, the hated tax collector.

Jesus was a picker. He travelled the back roads of Israel looking for rusty gold. He saw amazing things buried in people's hearts. What most people saw as junk, he saw as disciples who could change the world. Each person had a history all his or her own. There was no such thing as a nobody ...read more

The Book Of Mark #11b

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

In our last message on Mark, we looked at the LORD’S FAME.

A rock and roll band called “The Beatles,” came to America during the early 60’s. I could never understand why, but they became famous around the world. I love good spiritual and secular music, but I have never cared for people screaming through a microphone. They call it music but I call it ...read more
