    Cistern Challenge

     | 4,090 views

    The only pit we are stuck in is the one we don't recognize the hand of God reaching towards us.

    In many ways, much of life is set up like the challenge. We are given a problem in life and we have to solve it. However as Christians I would suggest we also have to look at the puzzle a little differently. How will this situation demonstrate faith to those around us? Let’s face it..Everyone has 3 ...read more

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Aug 26, 2019
     | 6,154 views

    Jesus said he came to, "send fire on the earth." This sermon takes a unique approach on this idea and uses the fire metaphor as a purging of the things inside us that hinder us from becoming who we can be through God.

    The Blessing of Hardships Since this Gospel reading is intense, I thought I’d begin by admitting something kind of funny about it. When I read it this week, I pictured Jesus at a Charlie Daniels concert singing, “Fire on the mountain run boys run.” It also made me wonder, “… how am I supposed ...read more
