    Baptism is an odd rite. So why do we baptize people?

    TENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST, YEAR B August 1, 2021 author of Ephesians wants us to realize that we are not left without resources

    Now we’re moving from preaching to meddling, as the old cliché goes. To declare that there is a life worthy of the gospel is to claim that there is a life that isn’t. There are choices to be made in how we live out our faith. And some of those choices reveal whether we are indeed “rooted and ...read more

    History teaches us that God's loving kindness comes from His essence--His Trinitarian family--and to that we must attract the whole human family.

    Trinity Sunday 2013 Just one week ago, our Archbishop Gustavo announced plans for our Catholic community here in South Texas. It is fitting that on this Trinity Sunday, when we celebrate the core mystery of our religion, we contemplate the third core value, “unity.” The text reads: ...read more

    As Christians we would never knowingly even consider belittling the RESURRECTION of Christ, but most of us have never gave very much thought as to why “THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST SHOULD BE THOUGHT OF IN CONNECTION TO EASTER”, so I want to point out a few

    Acts 12:1-4 “EASTER” & CHRIST RESURRECTION 4-23-11 Today I want to talk for a few minutes on the subject of “EASTER.” Let me say before we began that I’m not trying to cause it to rain on any ones Easter parade, but I’m aware of the fact that most people ...read more

     | 7,811 views

    With THIS sermon I DON'T argue the fact that ALL human remains will eventually turn into dust. I however question modern opinion on the issue in relation to Biblical view. What is GOD'S view on cremation? Did HE approve of it? Is it right or wrong?

    Amos 2:1-2:3 This is what the LORD says: “For three sins of Moab, even for four, I will not relent. Because he burned to ashes the bones of Edom’s king, I will destroy her ruler and kill all her officials with him.” In ancient times there were three ways of disposing of the ...read more

    When these events took place, Samson was in trouble and he knew it. The final chapter of his life concludes with a very significant event. May we learn from Samson: trust God, but don't make the same mistakes he did!

    Introduction: When the events of this story took place, Samson is in the Philistine prison in Gaza (16:21); his head was shaved and he was bound in fetters of bronze (brass, KJV). He was sentenced to grind (grain?) in the prison house. Even worse, he was blind—the Philistines had put out his eyes ...read more
