    The Holy Family Counsels Our Modern Family

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 24, 2025
     | 181 views

    In counseling members of the Christian family, St. Paul taught what we might call “charity lived out in deference.”

    Feast of the Holy Family 2025 One of my favorite theologians has pointed out that St. Joseph had the hardest ministry of all. He was just an ordinary Jew who happened to be a descendant of King David, but that put him as the guardian and leader of two persons who were both in intimate contact with ...read more

    From The Manger To The Mission. A Christmas-To-New-Years Message Series

    Contributed by William Akehurst on Dec 26, 2025
     | 510 views

    The Christ we celebrate at Christmas is the King who calls us forward into a transformed life. As the new year dawns, GOD invites His people to move from celebration to consecration - abandoning what no longer aligns with His purposes to step into the new season of obedience, renewal, and mission.

    Contributed by Terry Hovey on Dec 27, 2025
     | 355 views

    They (the Magi) went home, but they didn't go back the same way they came. Physically, yes, they took a different route to avoid Herod. But spiritually, this represents something much deeper.

    (Christmas Sermon) Another Way Home: When Finding Christ Changes Everything Good morning, church family! As we gather here the Sunday after Christmas, many of you are probably still feeling the warmth of Christmas morning - the joy of family, the excitement of beautifully wrapped presents, the ...read more

    Safe In His Hands

    Contributed by Major Stewart on Dec 27, 2025
     | 459 views

    Safe in His Hands proclaims how God protects His purpose amid danger. Through Matthew 2, this sermon reassures believers that divine calling attracts opposition, but obedient faith rests securely in God’s sovereign covering and purposeful care.

    SAFE IN HIS HANDS Text: Matthew 2:13–23 (NIV) Beloved, one of the most comforting and challenging truths in all of Scripture can be summed up in this declaration: What God ordains, God protects. What God purposes, God preserves. What God plans, God guards. We love to talk about the birth of Jesus. ...read more

    A sermon for Epiphany of the Lord Sunday.

    Matthew 2:1-12 Today is Epiphany Sunday. Now, what do we mean by that? Epiphany really is that same word as in, “Wow, I just realized something I had never thought of before! I’ve had an epiphany.” It’s a revelation, a moment of insight, when what was previously muddy or confusing ...read more

    Gold, Frankincense And Myrrh: A View Through The Song Of Songs

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 31, 2025
     | 182 views

    In this story of the visit of the three Magi, there are at least two references to the prophecies contained in the OT. Jesus, and all of the Christian story we see in the NT, is the fulfillment of the promises made over three thousand years and chronicled in the Hebrew Bible.

    Solemnity of the Epiphany 2026 Gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh are brought to Mary and Jesus, the newborn king of the Jews. Lots of ink has been poured out trying to help Christians understand the mystery of the Incarnation revealed in these costly presents. Most popularly, gold is a gift ...read more

    We come to the end of the Christmas season, and the Gospel reading assigned to us is jarring. We've spent weeks with angels and shepherds, with wise men and star-light, with Mary's Magnificat and the peaceful scenes around the manger. We've sung "Silent Night" and "Joy to ...read more

    Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Jan 2, 2026
    based on 3 ratings
     | 563 views

    A story sermon - using the imagery of the 3 wise men kneeling with their gifts before Jesus, comparing those gifts to CS Lewis, John Wesley and Ignatius Loyola giving lives to Christ, and challenging us to give our lives fully to him.

    A strange place to kneel down. And yet on the bare floor of this stable, his knees fell to the floor. It was like the clouds opened and as the star shone down it all made sense. And Melchior fumbled in his cloak and brought Gold to bring to the King - to the King who wasn’t the sort of monarch he ...read more

    Trust And Obey

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 5, 2026
     | 155 views

    Faith is more than words. I can say that I believe all day long but at some point, I have to actually step out in faith. That's how I know that my faith is real but that it is strong enough to hold me up and sustain me no matter what's going on in my life.

    Basically, I grew up in upstate New York. There were some woods at the end of the street and there was a pond more or less in the middle of it. In the winter, we would skate on it and play hockey. The thing is ... as we gathered on the edge of the pond, we always had the same debate: Was the ...read more

    The wise men are a great example to us today, to be SEEKERS, WORSHIPPERS and, when necessary, REBELS.

    PART 1: INTRODUCTION People have been intrigued by the story of the wise men who visited the infant Jesus from the earliest days of the church. Long ago, people carefully kept the bones of the wise men. They’re now in a huge, gilded shrine in Cologne Cathedral. Some of the greatest painters in ...read more
