  • Through Many Tribulations Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 8, 2020
     | 2,768 views

    Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God. But we can take courage from the examples of Jesus and St. Paul.

    Tuesday of the 5th Week of Easter 2020 Today’s tale from the Acts of the Apostles needs some back-story for those who weren’t at Mass yesterday. The scene is Lystra, a village in southern Anatolia, sometime in the year 48, about 15 years after the Resurrection. It was part of the Roman province of ...read more

    Liturgy of Abundance vs. the Myth of Scarcity

    Drawing on conflict theory, David G. Forney cites Walter Brueggemann's article "Liturgy of Abundance [and] the Myth of Scarcity" to conclude that, with the feeding of the five thousand (Mark 6:30-44), there is a contest between the myth of scarcity in the Book of Exodus and a liturgy ...read more

  • Six Woes.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 9, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,700 views

    Our Lord Jesus did not hesitate to rebuke hypocrisy.

    SIX WOES. Luke 11:37-54. A Pharisee invited Jesus to dine with him (LUKE 11:37). Though this man was probably not converted, Jesus did not refuse to recline at table with him. Jesus accepted the hospitality of the Pharisee, but did not fail to use the opportunity to speak out against the whole ...read more

  • Be Truly Inspired

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jan 15, 2024
     | 961 views

    There may be full pews under the spires, but all is vain unless the Spirit inspires.

    The core problem is that we live in a culture that is looking for the innovative versus the inspired. We want excitement more than exegesis. Give us 10 easy steps to holiness or the 1minute disciple program and we are into it. Gather up a bunch of ideas that have been preached for years by many ...read more

  • Scripture Or Tradition

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Dec 8, 2022
     | 1,046 views

    Which is more important: Scripture or tradition?

    Scripture or Tradition Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Mark 7:1-13 1 The Pharisees and some of the scribes gathered around Him when they had come from Jerusalem, 2 and had seen that some of His disciples were eating their bread with pure hands, that is, unwashed. 3 (For the Pharisees and all the Jews ...read more

  • Hey, Wait A Minute.

    Contributed by Roy Fowler on Apr 10, 2021
     | 2,188 views

    Are we to sell all that we have and give all of it to the Church to administrate for everyone one. Or does this passage mean something else?

    Sermon Title: Hey, wait a minute. Scripture Text: Acts 4:32-35 ILLUSTRATION by joke. There's a story of a soapbox preacher in Hyde Park. He declared: "If you had two houses, you would give one to the poor wouldn't you?' 'Yes' said a man in the audience, 'indeed I ...read more

  • Inclusion Is What We Need, Not Power Hungry People

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 11, 2021
     | 1,808 views

    Jesus rebuked His disciples because they wanted to keep the power of healing for themselves. This is happening in church today even though Jesus said it is wrong!

    I think that it is sad that when I read this narrative, it made me think about the control the church has held over people for almost 2000 years. The church used only one verse, thus out of context, to control people. Catholics could not own a Bible until 1964 CE. The idea that a person has to ...read more

  • Persecution Can Be Good

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jan 30, 2021
     | 1,904 views

    We grow soft and cold without it. Sometimes it takes the fire of persecution for us to seek the fire of God.

    1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 19 Wherefore let them that ...read more

  • The Last Creation Story--Also The Greatest Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 6, 2021
     | 1,440 views

    Watch for signs that our friends and relatives are bored or in crisis or somehow dissatisfied with trying the world’s failed ways to joy through pleasure and honor and vanity.

    Monday of the 5th Week in Course 2021 There are several creation stories in the collection of sacred books we call the Bible. Today we heard the first from Genesis. But shortly after this story, the moral depravity of the culture got so bad that God decided to start over with Noah and his ...read more

  • What Happened To Volunteerism In Church?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jan 5, 2022
     | 2,102 views

    Volunteerism has been on the decline in the church. The need for recognition has become important to the few who do volunteer. We should volunteer to serve Christ

    What happened to volunteerism in church? Mark 12:38-40 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Mark 12:38 In His teaching He was saying: “Beware of the scribes who like to walk around in long robes, and like respectful greetings in the market places, 39 and chief seats in the synagogues and places of honor ...read more

  • Power In Persecution

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jan 14, 2022
     | 1,895 views

    Will the power of Acts return when persecution separates the wheat from the chaff? If all you have left is Jesus, will it be enough?

    1Pe 4:14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other ...read more

  • The Sovereignty Of God In Church Growth

    Contributed by Norman Bernad on Jan 18, 2026
     | 134 views

    When we think about church growth, it’s easy to focus on programs, strategies, or numbers on a chart. But the book of Acts invites us to see church growth in a very different light — as the sovereign work of God, moving powerfully through His Spirit.

    “The Sovereignty of God in Church Growth” • Acts 2:47; • 1 Corinthians 3:6–7 • Psalm 127 • “Who really grows the church?” • Mention how people often attribute church growth to marketing, programs, or personalities. • But Scripture shows us: God is the one who gives the increase. When we think ...read more
