    Divorce And Remarriage

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 10, 2018
     | 3,133 views

    A divorce is a legal matter. God is against it, but in some grave circumstances, it may be necessary. A Church annulment is saying that the marriage consent was substantially defective.

    27B Jesus is comparing and contrasting divorce and remarriage from what Moses allowed to his teaching. The same can be done today. e.g. We are aware of King Henry VIII of England who could not divorce Catherine of Aragon, with whom he had been unable to conceive a son, and since he could not ...read more

    Second Sunday Of Lent - Transfiguration

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 27, 2021
     | 2,780 views

    Suffering love is a kind of beauty that for Von Baltazar gives rise to a subjective experience of rapture: being transported beyond the boundaries of the self.

    There was a group of mountain climbers and one guy was on his first high climb. The climb was strenuous but at last they reached the top. Once it was clear that the beginner climber was at the very top, he stood straight up with arms raised and yelled victoriously, "I did it!" At this ...read more

    Giving

    Contributed by Paul Kallan on Jan 4, 2003
    based on 50 ratings
     | 7,104 views

    When life does not flow to others through us, there is no giving. When we begin to give as God gives Himself, God fills us with more of His life. God is God because He gives Himself.

    A story that Theodor Schnitzler, an erstwhile parish priest of Cologne, narrates, explains the nature of a gift. Those were the days of hunger and misery soon after the World War II. One day before Christmas, he visited an old man in a home for the aged. During the conversation, the postman ...read more

    This was a sermon i preached 4 years back when i began serving at a new place of service as pastor.

    1. We are called to be a confessing Church. V. 18, Jesus says it is “My Church” - My college BSU director would often correct our BSU President when he would say something about "My church"...he told him that it wasn’t "his church", it was Jesus’ church and He allowed him to serve there.

    Celebrating The Grandparents Of Jesus Christ

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 23, 2018
     | 3,264 views

    If Mary’s response to the angel was an enthusiastic “yes,” then we can look to her parents for their own constant response to God’s commands, their answer of “yes” to His will.

    Thursday of the 16th Week in Course 2018 Ss Joachim and Anne, parents of Mary Today we commemorate two of the great persons of salvation history, the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary, whom tradition calls Joachim and Anne.

    We may be tempted to look only at the secular gifts we might consider gracious benefits of God. But they pale by comparison to God's spiritual gifts.

    Thanksgiving Day 2018 “Now thank we all our God, with heart and hands and voices, who wondrous things as done, in whom His world rejoices.” These words from the great hymn written in German by the Protestant pastor Martin Rinkart, and translated into English by the Protestant Catherine Winkworth, ...read more

    "ten Lords," Ten Commandments

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 29, 2018
     | 1,560 views

    Anything that causes us to turn our backs on the two great commandments–love God above all things and our neighbor as ourselves–is sin, and needs the healing power, the forgiving power of Christ.

    January 3, 2019 Tenth Day of Christmas According to one interpretation of the overused carol, The Twelve Days of Christmas, this tenth day is the one which adds “ten lords a leaping” to the list of gifts given us by our true love, Jesus Christ, who is the “partridge in a pear tree.” The ten lords, ...read more

    30th Sunday-- The Pharisee And The Tax Collector

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Sep 26, 2022
     | 932 views

    Dorotheos said that the Pharisee was doing the right thing when he thanked God for giving him the ability to do good—as should they (the monks) themselves. The Pharisee only did one thing wrong: he passed judgment on the tax collector.

    Our Gospel today begins with some challenging words, “to those who were convinced of their own righteousness and despised everyone else.” There’s an old joke about a psychiatrist who is seeing a new patient for the first time. The psychiatrist says, “I’m not aware of your issue, so maybe you ...read more

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 11, 2021
     | 987 views

    The Church is apostolic because its foundation stones are the apostles chosen by Jesus himself as his first witnesses, prophets, priests and leaders.

    Monday of 24th Week in Course There are four marks of the Church—unity, holiness, apostolicity and catholicity. The unity is oneness in belief and practice. The holiness. Ah, we mustn't think that means that all members of the Church and even all clergy are holy. There have some real ...read more

    Anzac Day/Memorial Day

    based on 1 rating
     | 19,984 views

    This sermon looks at the sacrifices soldiers make on behalf of others. This is the same sacrifice Jesus makes for us on the cross. We have been bought with a high price and should enjoy our lives.

    ANZAC Day For those who do not know, ANZAC day is not the day to celebrate Australia’s victories, nor do we celebrate how great our country is. Rather we celebrate the sacrifice and loss of the young men and women who protect other people’s freedom. Australia has never been seriously ...read more

    A church needs to know that it needs a vision

    "The Great Adventure of Vision" Ezekiel 37:1-14 Hebrews 11:1, 8; 12:1-2 God Almighty is a God of Vision. Now when I say "vision" I am not necessarily talking about some mystical sight that someone sees. Occasionally a vision from God is like that as the Bible shows us. Paul saw a vision of ...read more
