    2nd Sunday, Cycle A

    Two cockroaches were munching on garbage in an alley when one engages a discussion about a new restaurant. "I was in that new restaurant across the street," said one. "It's so clean! The kitchen is spotless, and the floors are gleaming white. There is no dirt anywhere--it's ...read more

    Heaven is the ultimate end and fulfilment of the deepest human longings, the state of supreme, definitive happiness

    At the wedding rehearsal, the bride told the priest that she was nervous that she would not remember what to do during the wedding.

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Mar 5, 2019
     | 4,151 views

    The Rev. Rian Adams. This sermon encourages people to open their hearts to God instead of hiding from God.

    Title: “You Don’t Have To Hide” Luke 6:17-26 – Epiphany 6 The Rev. Rian Adams Last week I looked up the lectionary reading for today and realized that it was the beatitudes. My first thought was, "Here we go again. I have to preach another sermon on ethics. I usually begin with something ...read more

    First Sunday Of Lent, Year C--Assume The Power, The Devil Told Him

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 7, 2025
     | 341 views

    An image or fantasy is presented to me...

    Satan tries to drive a wedge between Jesus and his Father. “If you are the Son of God,” Satan begins two his temptations. Same with us, with baptism, “If you are a child of God.” Doubting baptismal identity. Lent is a time of self-appraisal and accountability. When we remember and reflect on our ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 10,120 views

    Comfort for the bereaved.

    THE RETURN OF JESUS. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Jesus taught that the “day and hour” of His return is known only to His Father (Mark 13:32). However, the new believers in Thessalonica seem to have got the impression that His Coming was imminent. As a result of this misunderstanding, a question ...read more

    Mary's obedience demonstrates the proper response to God's call in the life of each one.

     | 12,762 views

    Are we really ready to meet Him?

    A CALL TO ACTIVE WATCHFULNESS. Matthew 25:1-13. The parable of the ten virgins comes on the back of a call to watchfulness, which is illustrated by the faithfulness of a dutiful servant as opposed to the unfaithfulness of an evil servant (Matthew 24:42-51). The contrast is shifted into the ...read more

    A Song For The Journey

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 6, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 11,248 views

    The pilgrimage of life may - or even must - lead by the way of the Cross: but the destination is assured.

    A SONG FOR THE JOURNEY. Psalm 121. This is a “song of ascent” - quite possibly sung by pilgrims on their way up to Jerusalem for one of the festivals. It would be an appropriate Psalm for returning exiles, too, when faced with the dangers of a thousand mile journey back across the wilderness from ...read more

    The Good Deposit

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 14, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,663 views

    1. "Keep the Committed Deposit" of the gospel; 2. In a verse which has become so familiar in translation that we almost forget to check the Greek language which lies behind it, we discover that only "He is able to Keep my Committed Deposit."

    THE GOOD DEPOSIT. 2 Timothy 1:6-14. At the end of his previous letter, Paul encouraged Timothy to ‘KEEP’ - or guard - the ‘COMMITTED DEPOSIT’ (1 Timothy 6:20). In the second letter, Paul reiterates this instruction in much the same words: “the good DEPOSIT COMMITTED … KEEP” (2 Timothy 1:14). ...read more

     | 3,549 views

    If anyone does not wish to work, neither let him eat.

    WORKING AND EATING. 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13. Having expressed his trust in the Lord that they will already be doing the things with which he charges them (2 Thessalonians 3:4), the Apostle Paul now charges the brethren in Thessalonica - “in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ” - to withdraw ...read more

    From Wretched To Blessed

    Contributed by David Roth on Oct 5, 2020
     | 3,248 views

    The religious leaders of Isreal were removed from the kingdom of God because of their rejection of the prophets and of Christ. As Christians, Christ has placed us into His kingdom, that we would serve Him by handing over the fruits His righteousness produces.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. (Ps. 19:14) “From wretched to blessed” Two weeks ago, we heard Jesus tell a parable about a vineyard, and how the owner of the vineyard paid the same wage ...read more

    I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel (Luke 7:9).

    AMAZING FAITH OF A CENTURION. Luke 7:1-10. It is interesting to note that, in this busy little cameo, two of the main characters remain offstage throughout. In Luke’s record, the incident takes place immediately after the Sermon on the Plain (Luke 6:17-49). Jesus had said all He was going to say ...read more

    An Easter Meditation.

    RESURRECTION, BAPTISM AND UNION WITH CHRIST. Romans 6:1-11. Towards the end of the previous chapter, the Apostle Paul declared, ‘where sin abounded, grace did super-abound’ (cf. Romans 5:20).
