    For Every Rule, There Are Always Exceptions

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 14, 2015
     | 6,430 views

    The only way we can be transformed and freed is through faith in Christ. That faith will transform us and free us by giving us power to do God’s work in our world-and that is the true spirit of the Sabbath.

    Have you ever noticed that every time you turn around, there seems to be another rule for you to obey? Have you ever noticed that some of these rules seem to be foolish? Well, I certainly have in both cases. To make matters worse, there are cases where no exceptions can be made to these rules, even ...read more

    Jesus knows our struggles, wounds, hurts, and pains and He carries them even in his resurrection body!

    (Please note the names mentioned in this sermon are pseudonyms) Today, we have this story of Jesus physically appearing to his disciples after his resurrection. On Jesus’ first appearance, Thomas was absent, and we just read in the story that he had insisted on seeing Jesus’ wounds if he were to ...read more

    A busy life is not always something we can avoid. However when life gets busy, the gift of prayer is not only helpful but essential. This sermon explores why

    WWhen life gets busy or overbearing what do you do? Do you frantically go about all your tasks? Maybe you get stressed out? Do you get angry? Do you think I will just keep going and going? Or think once I have dealt with all this stuff I will start planning a better life? No matter who you are. ...read more

    Jesus talks about the end of the world. But the focus is not on fear and trembling; but on faith and trust in him, and preparing for it through right living now.

    End times I was ordained on a November day six years ago. The ordination was at my home parish, and prior to that I was still finishing my study of Theology in another city in India. Of course the ordination was a huge celebration, and needed a lot of preparation. Since I was away, most of the ...read more

    *(Revised: December 2010) Paul exhorts us not to rest on our laurels, but to keep improving on what we are doing as a church. (Can also be used as a "farewell" message for Pastors leaving their church)

    EXHORTATIONS ARE UNIQUE EPILOGUES THAT ANNOUNCE THE JOYS OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND WELL-DOING WHILE AT THE SAME TIME SOUNDING THE ALARM TO WARN AGAINST GROWING CONTENT WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF FRUITFUL MINISTRY. THE CHURCH IS A LABOR OF LOVE AND CANNOT SEPARATE THE TWO BY LABORING WITHOUT LOVING OR ...read more

    Working Together With Our Spiritual Gifts

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jan 23, 2016
     | 5,969 views

    We need to be connected to a church family so that we can fulfill our calling to serve other believers in practical ways. We need the church and the church needs us. There are no insignificant roles to play in either the church or the body of believers.

    Do you know that you have spiritual gifts from God? That’s right. Each and every one of us has spiritual gifts from God. These gifts come in many different forms. Some are greater than others, but they are equally important. Each gift is essential for the benefit of all believers. The danger ...read more

    When we focus too much on what happened in the past it becomes hard for us to see what God is doing in the present and is leading us in the future.

    When I was in the parish, preaching every Sunday, there was usually one of my parishioners that would always come up to me after service and express how that day’s particular sermon seemed like I was speaking directly to them; that the sermon on that given day was addressing something specific ...read more

    We must all pray for vocations to the priesthood and ministry, but we must also invite young persons to consider that vocation, and create an environment that reaches toward the transcendent in our worship.

    24th Sunday in Course Supporting the Priestly Vocation What is the most important day of my life, or of yours? The most important day to each of us is the one that will determine the rest of our unending existence. It is the last day of our life. The key question we must answer at that moment ...read more

    The plan of God for all of us, especially clergy, is a call to service and understanding, not tyranny.

    Solemnity of the Epiphany 2012 Diaconate Vocation Spirit of the Liturgy “Where is the newborn king of the Jews?” the Magi said to Herod. It was a straightforward question to the wrong guy.
