    Worth The Effort Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 14, 2020
     | 2,452 views

    It takes great effort to build up (edify) believers with the Word of God, both on the part of those who teach and those who learn. But it is worth it.

    Worth the Effort (Acts 20:1-12) 1, This week, I watched part of a White Sox baseball game from two weeks agon on youtube. It was nice to be able to fast forward and see the more interesting moments. Which brings on a joke. 2. Have you heard about the first baseball game in the Bible? In the ...read more

     | 3,218 views

    The society of Noah’s day was completely depraved; it was violent, inclined towards evil, hateful of any trace of goodness, constantly developing evil Imaginations, and except for 8 souls whom God had granted grace to, completely God rejecting.

    An open door of the Ark Psalm 12 1. Genesis 7:1-5 2. (Matthew 25:1-13) And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 17, 2020
     | 1,246 views

    By becoming united with Christ in Baptism, and growing in Christ through the sacraments and a godly life, we experience the fullness of human life.

    Tuesday of the 29th Week in Course 2020 Plague Year Separated, alienated, strangers. Those are the words that begin St. Paul’s exhortation to the Ephesians and to us today. He continued, “having no hope and without God in the world.” Paul’s statement sounds very much like a diagnoses of the ...read more

    Squirming In The Lap Of The Trinity Series

     | 1,572 views

    When we are baptized into Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God, we take our place within the embrace of the Holy Spirit.

    Psalm 131–a homily for today Today’s psalm, “O Lord, my heart is not proud,” is the kind of prayer-gem that can stimulate hours of meditation. If you pray it quickly, it takes less than a minute, even with a “Glory be. . .” But let’s start with the declaration to God right in the middle: “Like a ...read more

    Fifteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 31, 2022
     | 1,610 views

    I can’t help but think it was Mother Teresa’s having to suffer the loss of her father, who was murdered when she was a child, that directed her to a life of mercy.

    Jesus is asked 183 questions of which he only answers 3. The expert asked a question wanting to test Jesus and he got an answer. But in the story about the Good Samaritan, Jesus is testing him—and us. The man beaten and robbed was going from Jerusalem to Jericho. So were the priest and Levite, ...read more

    Three Big Reasons To Rejoice At Christmas

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Dec 24, 2021
     | 2,682 views

    Jesus' birth was cause for lots of rejoicing. But wasn't it a long time ago? Is it still cause for rejoicing for us? It certainly is!

    [This is a short sermon / reflection for a short Christmas Day service.] Earlier in the service we reminded ourselves of the Christmas story. Perhaps we thought: that’s a nice story. But does it really affect me? In the Christmas story in the Bible there’s a constant note of joy. Elizabeth ...read more

    Excuses – Luke 9: 51 - 62 Intro: A farm boy accidentally overturned a wagon load of corn on a country road. A farmer who lived nearby came out of his house to investigate. “Hey, Willis,” he called out, “sorry about your troubles. Just come into the house and have ...read more

    What Do The Magi's Gifts Mean Today?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jun 2, 2021
     | 1,858 views

    The gifts that the magi presented to the baby Jesus have metaphorical meaning. What do they mean today?

    The story about the three magi visiting the baby Yeshua is a problematic story. If such an event took place, why is it only found in Matthew's Gospel? The idea of three magi traveling from Persia to Judea is fascinating. The narrative says that they followed the Bethlehem star. Many people ...read more

    Why Is There Often So Little Joy Among Christians?

    A look at our frequent lack of joy and how more clearly understanding what God has done for us can remedy that.

    A QUESTION: Why is there often so little joy among Christians? - Luke 1:14. - This verse highlights the joy that John will bring: “a joy,” “delight,” “rejoice.” - Is that atypical? Is joy supposed to be a standard part of the Christian life? - I believe that ...read more

    Experience the wonder and awe the women must have felt on finding the empty tomb this Easter morning.

    In everyday speech, we tend to use words like “wonderful” and “awesome” quite a bit. “That cake was wonderful.” “I got out of work early today and had an awesome afternoon.” “What a wonderful service.” Usually we just mean something was nice, or convenient, or was pleasing to the senses. But I ...read more
