A Talent For The Ridiculous! Series

Contributed by David Smith on Apr 30, 2012

We’ve reached a familiar story in the book of Matthew – the parable of the talents.

It’s a parable I’ve known since my youth - one I am quite familiar with – and having been in this parish almost 21 years now, it’s one that I am reaching for the 7th time even since I’ve been here, which is why it is all the more astounding that I’ve never ...read more

This weeks sermon is about the parable of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great value. We may think that these things have nothing for us, after all, who actually believes in hidden treasures these days? I mean, really?

On This Rock

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Aug 23, 2017

Matthew 16:13-20 What does this passage actually say and not say to us?

Prelude, Purpose, Plan Protestants, Orthodox and Catholics largely agree on perhaps 95% of the most important teachings of Christianity.

From Disharmoney To A Gift Series

Contributed by Larry Turner on Jun 6, 2013

Levi changed his name to Matthew in his Gospel to reflect his heart change.

Last week we talked about the man who came through the roof with the help of his friends. Remember Jesus was more concerned about his spiritual healing than a physical healing.

JESUS AND JOHN THE BAPTIST. Matthew 11:2-10. MATTHEW 11:2-3. We do not know for sure why John the Baptist sent two of his disciples to speak with Jesus. Perhaps prison had knocked the wind out of his sails, and he wanted some reassurance that it had not all been in vain. Or perhaps it was for ...read more

Three "What’s” That Are Essential...

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 14, 2022

The tenth chapter of Matthew tells of Jesus’ sending the twelve disciples to the lost house of Israel.

He tells them, in verse 16, “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves...” In verses 17-27 Jesus warned the twelve disciples that they might as well expect the same treatment that He had received. Then He explained in verse 24, “The disciple is not above his master, nor the ...read more
