    God works powerfully through small, unnoticed beginnings; our efforts and prayers matter because His presence transforms the ordinary into something eternally significant.

    Friends, if we had coffee together this morning and you told me you felt small, overmatched, or unnoticed, I’d nod and say, “You’re in good company.” Jesus often started with small things—a seed in the palm of a hand, a pinch of yeast tucked into dough, a field under a wide sky. He meets us in ...read more

    Philip, just an ordinary guy - called to ministry and in turn brings along a friend, Nathanael. This reading shows how Jesus uses ordinary people, doing ordinary things.

    Mid-Week Message/Devotion January 10, 2018 Reading: John 1:43-51 Did Anything Good Come Out of Nazareth?

    Transforming Prayer: The Story Of Jabez SermonCentral

     | 3,277 views

    The story of Jabez shows that it doesn't matter who we are, what our parents have decided for us, or even the future we are 'destined' for: what matters is knowing what we want to be and above all, asking it of God.

    Today, we will explore the inspiring story of Jabes and his powerful prayer. This narrative teaches us that our identity, our past, and even our future do not determine our destiny. What truly matters is knowing what we want to become and, above all, seeking it from God. The story of Jabes takes ...read more

    Moving In The Opposite Spirit— 6th Sunday In Ordinary Time

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 27, 2019
     | 5,030 views

    A “Manual” for Escaping Our Vicious Cycles through non-violence is what the Sermon on the Mount has been called; to transform the adversary - and, in the process, to be transformed ourselves.

    1). Mary Lou Kownacki relates the following tale: It seems that in a certain village a snake had bitten so many people that few dared to go into the fields. Finally, it was taken to a wise person who tamed the snake and persuaded it to practice the discipline of nonviolence. When the villagers ...read more

    Love your enemies

    There is a sign in the Princeton University Store basement which cleverly suggests: "Love your enemies—it will drive them crazy." Jesus’ ethical teaching is higher than this example because love of enemies is not a consequentialist ethic, hoping that the other person will change. Love ...read more

    Transformation by an alternative Eucharistic consciousness in Jesus Christ.

    We just heard John 6:52, “The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" That reminds of me two men who lived in a small town who got into a terrible dispute that they could not resolve. So, they decided to talk to the wisest man in town. The ...read more

    But when the father is a regular church-goer, but the mother is not, there is still a very good chance their children will continue in the faith.

    A man was out on the golf course. He spotted another man who seemingly had four caddies. “Why so many caddies?” the first man asked the second. The second golfer replied, “It’s my wife’s idea. She thinks I should spend more time with the kids.” I suspect he’s the same Dad who was asked by his ...read more

    The Atlantic began to come in; its mighty shoulders underneath the boats lifted—lifted until the derelict had to come. The youth had harnessed infinite energy to his task.

    Working in harmony with the processes of life in co-operation with God is how the Kingdom of God works, Jesus says. Its methods may be illustrated by the case of an old derelict ship that was to be lifted-up from the bottom of the sea. In one of the tidal rivers near New York, the building of a ...read more
