    The Vocation Of Human Development Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 18, 2009
     | 2,826 views

    The vocation to human development comes from God, but prophetically also comes from those who are least developed; we must respond by sharing Christ with them or they are not fully developed.

    Feast of St. Matthew Sept 21, 2009 Caritas in Veritate The call of St. Matthew is, in a sense, the call of every Christian. We have looked upon human development as a call to grow the entire human person, and the entire human family, toward its full meaning. This is an integrated development of ...read more

    Developing A Life Of Prayer

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Sep 22, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 2,807 views

    Prayer is at the very core of spiritual life. Despite how many people speak of praying as a part of their lives… I believe that a life that lives out of a center of prayer is challenging for most of us.

    Fires and earthquakes may serve to get our attention, taking our focus off the temporary things of this world… but the voice that we ultimately long for comes in quiet places. So it shouldn’t surprise us what we find the disciples of Jesus coming to him about in Matthew 6. They might have asked ...read more

    What makes feet beautiful is when they become leathery, dusty, gnarled in taking the Gospel across the street… across the fence post… we must go across our community… across the country… and across the continents.

    Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis (July 1, 1818 – August 13, 1865) was a Hungarian physician now known as an early pioneer of antiseptic procedures. He is known as the savior of the mothers.

    This sermon gives four ways to develope a servant’s heart. 1. Develope a volunteer spirit. 2. Have a determination to help. 3. Commit to follow-ship. 4. Start meeting the needs around you.

    Developing a Servant’s Heart If you are truly striving to serve God you must develop a servant’s heart. I think as a Christian we all want to be faithful servants.

    Develop a Christian mindset: 1. Be nice. 2. Be positive. 3. Be thankful

    This will probably be the most basic sermon you have ever heard. Nothing I will say is new or profound. You have heard it all before, but it needs repeated because the very simplicity of what I will be saying is the reason it is so often overlooked and ignored. So many times we want to plunge ...read more

    James warns us that faith that does nothing at all is not real faith. Faith can be either dead, demonic, but God is looking for dynamic faith from His followers.

    Read Text: James 2:14-26 Over the centuries, the human race has passed along alot of wisdom from generation to generation. “Wise old sayings” are a part of every day life, and we use them without thinking. “A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.” Lots of great insight into life is passed ...read more

    Since the Church has too long tolerated the teaching of our culture on sexuality and sexuaol relationships, it's time to speak up about building quality relationships.

    “Building Quality Relationships: With Jesus – Develop Healthy Partners” Eph. 5:3-8; 1 Cor. 6:9-20 Sometimes the words of Scripture hit me in the gut. In preparation for today’s message I was directed to such words, from Jesus Himself. In Rev. 2:19 Jesus commends the Church ...read more

    We are not to expect to have life easy & comfortable. Our great expectation is the blessed hope of Jesus' return. That event brings our eternal rewards. We must patiently endure hardships & heartaches until Jesus returns.

    February 8, 2010 Caritas in Veritate St Jerome Emiliani It is very likely that one of the motivations behind Solomon’s building of the Jerusalem temple was a desire to make the Lord the personal god of the Davidic dynasty.
