    Thirtieth Sunday In Ordinary Time - Year C. In Defense Of The Pharisee And Tax Collector

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 25, 2025
     | 85 views

    Jesus indicates that the Pharisee's virtue was destroyed by pride, but he certainly was objectively living a good moral life.

    Let’s see what the Pharisee did right, and the tax collector— The Pharisee prayed- 'O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity --greedy, dishonest, adulterous -- or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income.' Jesus indicates ...read more

    "Dinner For Two"

    The Pharisee thought Jesus was clueless about who was at the dinner table. It was the pharisee what was clueless.

    I have been reading my Bible through again this year. When I came to the passage of scriptures about the Old Testament Tabernacle, I became intrigued with this thought, "God wants to have a romantic dinner with us." He has a table (Shew Bread) prepared for us in the Holy Place. It even has the ...read more

    New Wine, Old Wineskins Series

    The Pharisees were hopping mad that Jesus and his disciples were living it up feasting, celebrating and having a good old time. Why were Jesus disciples feasting and not fasting? As usual Jesus not only answered their question, but gave them a deeply profound theological answer.

    There is an old television commercial that I still remember, and I still snicker when I think about it. The commercial is in black and white. A somber old man in a cold grey stone building barks out these words; Tenacity! Gumption! Discipline! Suddenly there is color, party music and they switch ...read more

    We determine where we go in God and how we fall short of his glory.

    Proverbs 25:11 "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." We are what determines where we go in God and how we fall short of his glory. God has your life’s plan mapped out before you are born. We are familiar with Jeremiah 1:5 "Before he formed thee he knew ...read more

    A sermon on when we should not use our freedoms to trip up the "weak" and when we should exercise our freedoms (Material adapted from Dave Swavely's book, Who Are You to Judge? and outline from Steve Cornell)

    HoHum: Bob Deffinbaugh- I have been in some of the meat markets of the eastern world, especially in some of the remote villages of India. I wanted to know just what kind of meat it was. I also was interested to know how long it had been dead. The flies which swarmed over the dead carcasses were ...read more

     | 119 views

    On one Sabbath, Jesus and the disciples ate some raw grain as they traveled. Some Pharisees objected to this but Jesus had something interesting to say when He replied to them!

    The Lord of the Sabbath Introduction: Maybe it happened more than once, but there was at least one time when Jesus and the twelve disciples were so hungry they found some raw grain for their meal! Even though this was permitted under the Law of Moses (Deut. 23:25), some of the religious leaders ...read more

    Today, let us be reminded by the words of Jesus, "But go and learn what this means: "I DESIRE MERCY AND NOT SACRIFICE." For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance." (Matthew 9:13 NKJV)

    Mercy Not Sacrifice, Matthew 9:9-13 Introduction There is the story of the man who came down from the North Carolina Mountains. He was all dressed up and carrying his Bible. A friend saw him and asked, "Joe, what’s happening? Where are you going all dressed up like that?" Joe said, "I’ve been ...read more

    Snake Handling And Sabbath Keeping Series

     | 4,494 views

    John the Baptist called the Jewish leaders, snakes. Today the Jews accuse Jesus of breaking the Sabbath by healing a paralytic man at what was probably a Temple to the Greek snake god of healing named Asclepius

    Introduction Last week we finished up the double story of the Samaritan woman, and Jesus teaching the disciples who were on a save Jesus mission to a Samaritan village to get food. Perhaps it was the same village that the Samaritan woman had returned to tell the elders about Jesus. If so, they ...read more

    God can see us all the time, whether we acknowledge him or not.

    How many of you have played peek-a-boo with a baby? Fun, isn’t it? But eventually they figure out that you can see them even when they can’t see you, and the thrill goes away. It’s a control thing, I think... they’re learning that what they do has an effect on their environment, and sometimes it ...read more
