    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,356 views

    A study of the danger posed when experts assume control over a society, over a community, or over a church. The message is a call to participatory Christianity.

    “Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, ‘The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat, so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they ...read more

     | 3,504 views

    Kung sinumang nagtataas ng kanyang sarili ay magpapababa, at ang nagpapakumbaba sa kanyang sarili ay itataas. Wala kang magagawa na mabuti maliban kung ang "makapangyarihang kamay ng Diyos" ay sumasa iyo!

    Violent Bands Of Pharisees Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 22, 2020
     | 2,095 views

    To convict someone who died in the thirteenth century for actions that were considered heroic and kingly then, but that some people take offense to today is particularly ironic.

    Tuesday of the 21st Week in Course 2020 It’s providential that the Church has given us a series of hard-hitting readings during the past month–hard-hitting but full of the Trinity’s love and compassion. It is particularly fitting that in a year when violent bands of Pharisees are roaming the ...read more

    The Source Of Self-Worth

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Nov 4, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 17,610 views

    Jesus teaches three ways NOT to go after self-worth, and then concludes with the only truly lasting and meaningful way to find one's worth. Not only that, but he models that true way for us.

    Matthew 23:1-12 The Source of Self-worth Do you ever wonder why some people are such jerks? Sometimes people can be so cruel to others! And yet, behind the facade of the bully lies a deep insecurity, a fear of rejection. Our bookstores are full of books about self-worth. I did a quick search on ...read more
