    based on 384 ratings
     | 76,210 views

    The parable of the ten bridesmaids tells us: 1. You must be spiritually prepared. 2. No one can do it for you. 3. There is a day called "Too Late."

    In April, 1988 the evening news reported on a photographer who was also a skydiver. He had jumped from a plane along with several other skydivers and filmed the group as they individually dove out of the plane and opened their parachutes. As the video was being shown of each member of the crew ...read more

    based on 144 ratings
     | 32,992 views

    Why didn’t the father go after his Prodigal Son? Why did he just sit and wait when he could have done so much more to bring his son home?

    OPENING STATEMENT: Over the past few weeks, we’ve been looking at how we can create a G-rated (a G-od centered) home in the midst of an R-rated world. This week, we’re going to look at a crucial element of that effort – fathers. ILLUS: Dr. James Dobson told the story of when he was about 3 three ...read more

    Little Seed - Big Tree Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 19, 2007
    based on 66 ratings
     | 24,498 views

    Why did the farmer in this parable plant the mustard seed? Jesus doesn’t stress the harvest from this tree... only the fact that birds come and settle in its branches. Why?

    OPEN: There’s a story about a student from MIT who spent an entire summer going to the Harvard football field every day wearing a black and white striped shirt walking up and down the field for ten or fifteen minutes throwing birdseed and blowing a whistle. Then he would walk off the field. At ...read more

    Who Are God's People?

    Contributed by Judith Hand on Oct 11, 2014
     | 6,511 views

    God's people are forgiven sinners who have accepted Christ's sacrifice for their sins. Repentant people are accepted by God, but those who think they are good enough to enter heaven on their own merit will be cast out.

    Who Are God’s People? Exodus 32:1-14 Philippians 4:1-9 Matthew 22:1-14 Our first reading from Exodus is not difficult to understand. The Israelites have gotten impatient waiting for Moses so they ask Aaron to make them gods who will go before them. They had had many highs and lows on ...read more

    We need to discover and appreciate the parallel between the Ark of the Covenant and the Blessed Virgin Mary.

    Memorial of St. Alphonsus “The Overshadowing Cloud” Matthew: Jesus said to His disciples: 47 "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net which was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind; 48 when it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into ...read more

    Passing The Point Of No Return

     | 4,891 views

    The dangers of putting off God's call until it's too late.

    Many of you know that there is a point of “No return” in most things in our lives. In olden times every ship and plane crossing the Ocean had a “Point of no return”. (Not enough fuel to make a turn about and head for home.) We all know it was against the “Law” ...read more

    The Man Who Went To Hell Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 11, 2011
    based on 84 ratings
     | 19,570 views

    Does Hell exist? And, if so, why did the Rich man end up there? What had he done that was so terrible that he deserved that type of punishment?

    POEM: An old man sat by an open fire and dreamed the years away, While, outside in the battle of life, many perished in the toils of day. He never did any good, nor did he ever do any wrong. He just sat by the open fire and dreamed the whole day long. Now he’s left a vacant chair and they say ...read more

    "He Has Ears, Let Him Hear"

     | 18,678 views

    PENTECOST 8 (A) - Everyone who has ears are to hear the living and active word of God. We hear God's word not in neglect but for respect.

    “HE WHO HAS EARS, LET HIM HEAR” (Outline) July 18, 2010 - Pentecost 8 - MATTHEW 13:1-9; 18-23 INTRO: Listening to God’s word is absolutely vital to and for our Christian faith. The trouble today is that we are no trained to listen very well. If we do not pay ...read more

    The First Shall Be Last, And The Last Shall Be First

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 22, 2015
     | 17,798 views

    Jesus says that it isn’t the religious folk who are first in the kingdom of heaven. It is those who are most open to turning their lives around who are first in line, those who take action when Jesus says, “follow me”.

    It’s painful to have someone you trust tell you that they are going to do something for you---and they don’t. Many of us can tell stories about people who have let us down by making promises and then not following up on them. For example, there is a story of a young widow whose husband ...read more

    What Are We Going To Do

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 23, 2015
     | 7,436 views

    We need to be more like the disciple Andrew, who, while he didn't write any of the books in the Bible, led people to Jesus - people like Simon Peter and the boy in the parable of the loaves and fish. Following Jesus is the source of our power to change.

    An honest man was being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the traffic light turned yellow just in front of him. The man did the right thing stopping at the crosswalk even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The ...read more

    Deep And Wide

    Contributed by David Roth on Mar 9, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,093 views

    Proper 19 (A) The unforgiving servant's heart was cold and shallow. But God's grace and mercy to us is deep and wide. Therefore, it not only changes our hearts, but overflows through us to others.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “Deep and Wide” Last week in the Gospel, Jesus had taught his disciples about being the greatest and least, and to seek unity, being One Flock, ...read more

    Sermon on the destructive nature of feeling sorry for ourselves

    Self-Pity: An Enemy of Joyous Living Introduction: A woman was heartbroken when her dog disappeared. She put an ad in the paper offering a reward for its return. The next morning the phone rang. It was the voice of a woman: “I'm calling about your dog.” Then she began to cough. ...read more

    Don’t Worry, Be Happy

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 4, 2015
     | 3,874 views

    It is not in satisfying our craving to have more and more that we have abundant life. No, it is in serving God and loving others as we love ourselves that abundant life is gained and lived. When we give, we show that Christ is our treasure.

    What do we really need? Our society is based on acquisition of things, especially wealth. We are concerned about what we do not have, especially people who are considered to be “have not”. Jesus is saying that it doesn’t matter how hard we try to get things, we can’t ...read more

    "All In A Day’s Work”

    Contributed by David Roth on Oct 5, 2020
     | 5,002 views

    In a parable of vineyard workers, Christ shows that all who receive from Him, and all that is received from Him, is totally gift. It is not earned. As Christians we rejoice and are thankful that we are in His vineyard, and that His continues to call others to His vineyard to labor with us.

    Matthew 20:1-16 J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. (Ps. 19:14) “All in a day’s work” There was a cobbler who lived in a small town. He was good at making shoes, and made them for all the ...read more
