    Father Dave on Jesus’ Sermon on the plain, and the blessings of the poor.

    I’ve had a tough week: On Monday I was robbed again. My wallet has been stolen by the same guy two weeks running!

    Rejoice In The Sufferings Of Christ

    Contributed by William Mouser on May 17, 2005
    based on 5 ratings
     | 3,360 views

    Days before His crucifixion, Jesus exposed the hostility of the unbelieving world to Himself, and (by implication) to all those who are loyal to His mission.

    Fifth Sunday in Lent Deuteronomy 18:15-22, 1 Peter 4:12-19, Luke 20:9-18 Rejoice in the Sufferings of Christ Jesus’ encounters with the Pharisees were always occasions for high drama. I can’t think of one of them, with the single exception of Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus, where Jesus and ...read more

    The Roles Of Women In The Church Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 20, 2005
    based on 104 ratings
     | 17,664 views

    This is among the most controversial sections in the Bible. Paul appears on the surface to be against women, but if you look at the context there is much more here - and more important issues than how we dress and act.

    There is no doubt that 1 Timothy 2 is among the most controversial passages of Paul’s writings. In this chapter it appears as if Paul calls men to pray and women to shut up - while dressed in sackcloth and ashes - staying home barefoot and pregnant. Although it is short - only 15 verses - it is ...read more

    Matthew's Puzzling Conversion

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jun 6, 2005
    based on 10 ratings
     | 3,377 views

    Matthew’s puzzling and sudden following of Jesus is not so puzzling if we attend to Matthew’s profession, his Levitial upbringing, and his recognition of Jesus as the one about whom Hosea prophesied.

    Matthew’s Puzzling Conversion Psalm 50 or 50:7-15, Hosea 5:15-6:6, Romans 4:13-18, Matthew 9:9-13 Last Sunday, I had occasion to mention the California coastal city named Laguna Beach. I mentioned Laguna Beach as an example of Jesus’ parable at the end of the sermon on the Mount, the part about ...read more

    based on 34 ratings
     | 5,966 views

    This sermon on prayer answers two basic questions: "How can I be effective in prayer?" and "What hinders prayer and makes it ineffective?"

    Sanctifying Grace --I Thessalonians 5:22-24 This dirty glass represents each one of us as a sinner separated from God.

    SERVANT LEADERS (LUKE 22:24-27) A friend told me an interesting but sad conflict in their church.

     | 8,734 views

    Jesus’ transfiguration is recorded in the gospels to embolden the disciples and their converts down the ages, as they face discouragement on the way to God’s Kingdom.

    Psalm 27, 1 Kings 19:9-18, 2 Peter 1:16-21, Mark 9:2-9 When you feel like quitting On July 4, 1952, a young woman named Florence Chadwick waded into the water off Catalina Island.

    Following Jesus Into The Wilderness

    Contributed by William Mouser on Mar 14, 2006
    based on 18 ratings
     | 15,222 views

    Lent is one of the earliest observances of the church. Jesus’ 40 days in the wilderness is a model for spiritual preparation for future effectiveness and fruitfulness in ministry.

    Psalm 25, Genesis 9:8-17, 1 Peter 3:18-22, Mark 1:9-13 For most of the past 500 years, there was an almost infallible way to tell Catholics from Protestants: the Catholics were the ones who had a cross-shaped smudge of ashes on their foreheads on Ash Wednesday. But, those times are changing. ...read more
