Mary: Ordinary, Poor And Chosen

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 16, 2012

Fifteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time

Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 31, 2022

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

The Secret Things And The Revealed Things

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Dec 12, 2018

A sermon for a NEW YEAR, based on a striking text from Dt. 29:29. As we enter a new year, we cannot know the SECRET (unknown) THINGS that the year will bring, but God has REVEALED to us his commandments, his priorities, and how to enter into a relationship with him through Jesus Christ.
