    The Horror Of Violence Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 7, 2009
     | 3,749 views

    Jesus was, in fact, nonviolent, even when he used force to expel the merchants who desecrated the Temple. Violence is incompatible with human development.

    Feast of Dedication of St. John Lateran November 9, 2009 Let’s confront a misconception about today’s Gospel, and that has to do with Jesus and violence. What Jesus did to the moneychangers and pigeon salesmen who had coopted the Court of the Gentiles was to clean them out. He used force to ...read more

    St Anselm Patron Of American Bishops

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 21, 2012
     | 2,244 views

    The Church is Incarnational, and must have both a sacred and secular existence, and yet must not become subservient to the state, whether kings or democratically elected tyrants who would make us do evil.

    St. Anselm Day April 21, 2011 If today’s lesson from Acts chapter 6 has any historical meaning at all, it is a confirmation that there have always been little fissures forming in the living stones that make up the Church. Early in our history, Greek-speaking converts to Judaism were ...read more

    A sermon preached to the staff of a Bible camp preparing for their summer ministry

    (Walk back and forth) We do it everyday… we do it while doing many other things like talking on our cell phone, reading a book, talking and laughing, looking at the stars, holding hands with someone, etc. I am doing it right now! What am I doing? (WALKING!) Webster defines walk as: to proceed ...read more

    The North American Martyrs And Cultural Relativism Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 17, 2009
     | 3,139 views

    Proper cultural exchange among nations is even more important than economic; we must have profound respect for the whole human person when cultures interact.

    October 19, 2009 The North American Martyrs Caritas in Veritate The coincidence of the Feast of the North American Martyrs with article 26 of Pope Benedict’s encyclical brings to mind an historical reality connected with the European settlement of America.

    Most Certainly True

    Contributed by David Mcnally on Apr 19, 2014
     | 2,911 views

    Man things have changed in the last 200 years, some for the better and some for the worse, but the Gospel message remains the same. What was 'most certainly true' for the first Christians should be the same for churches and preachers of the Word today.

    Matthew 28 verses 16 - 20 Romans 10 verses 5 -15 We are the heirs or the spiritual descendents of the eleven disciples or apostles, who witnessed Jesus' death and His resurrection, and spent over 5 weeks with Him before He ascended into heaven where He is seated at the right hand of the ...read more

    David's selection as king in 1 Samuel 16:1-13 shows us how God selected a king for his people.

    Scripture Today we begin a sermon series on “The Life of David.” John Butler writes, “David was a man of many hats. He was a king, a warrior and a shepherd as most realize; but he also wore other hats….He was a son…a shepherd…a singer…a servant…a soldier…a sufferer…a seer…a supplicant…a scholar…a ...read more

    Winning Over Worry Series

    Contributed by Kevin Broyhill on Sep 24, 2024
     | 1,171 views

    Worry can easily steal our peace and joy and tries to take root in our hearts. In Philippians 4, we'll learn how to win over worry and live in the victory that Christ offers to every believer.

    Winning Over Worry Philippians 4:6,7 Introduction: Underline phrase: “Be careful for nothing…” “Careful” = is not saying there are not times that require us to be cautious or that I am to never have legitimate concern – to be filled with care – describes an anxious and worrisome heart.

     | 6,948 views

    Through the prophet Amos, God tried to get people to recognize their sin and to change. He also told them that unless they would repent that God’s wrath would come down on them. Not only is his message applicable to Israel then, but it is pertinent to u

    Ethics Must Be Integrated Into Economic Activity Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 26, 2009
     | 2,527 views

    Just as the action of Herod and of abortionists shows the divorce of economics and ethics, so we must reintegrate ethics into economic activity, if we are to reclaim society for Christ

    December 28, 2009 Feast of the Holy Innocents Caritas in Veritate The timeliness of the Pope’s encyclical, Charity in Truth, and its match to our Monday Scriptures is truly remarkable.

    Jesus: 1. Saw the crowds. 2. Had compassion. 3. Called to his disciples.

    The story goes that Mark Twain loved to go fishing, but he hated to catch fish. The problem was he went fishing to relax, and catching fish ruined his relaxation, since he had to take the fish off the hook and do something with it. When he wanted to relax by doing nothing, people thought he was ...read more

    Mystery Babylon, The Lincoln Affair Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Jul 21, 2015
     | 3,163 views

    The facts are documentable. There really is a connection between Rome and the events surrounding the Civil War, including Lincoln's untimely death. Step back and look at history through Biblical eyes, and your view changes considerably...

    FORTY-EIGHT: THE LINCOLN AFFAIR So we are now in a time when bloodshed, which is newsworthy and can be reported to generations following, begins to give way to influence, which tends to go unnoticed except by the most observant. As we walk through these years, we walk slowly and deliberately, ...read more

    Jesus talks about growing in stature, but he is not talking about height. He is talking about growing in servanthood.

    Growing in the Right Direction Mark 9:30-37 September 24, 2006 Depending on whom you talk to and who does the measuring, there is any number of different ways to measure a human being. If we wanted to get into an existential discussion of humanity, we would probably remember these famous maxims. ...read more
