    Listen To God And Obey His Loving Direction

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 9, 2024
     | 609 views

    Listen to God in the first place, and maybe God won’t have to bail you out of bad situations that you create for yourself.

    Saturday of the First Week in Course 2023 Today’s Gospel is one of the most gripping portrayals of Jesus’s ministry we have from St. Mark. Why is that? In just five verses, we see Jesus, in the area of Capernaum, teaching a large crowd in one of his favorite amphitheaters, a natural one by the Sea ...read more

    No, It's Not Fair, But Bear With It In Christ

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 28, 2023
     | 910 views

    Forget the old song that asks “how can it be wrong when it feels so right?” That’s unmitigated baloney. Your mind must rule your emotions, not vice-versa.

    Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Course 2023 Have you or anyone you know ever said that some fine or traffic ticket or concert ticket price or something else “isn’t fair”? I suspect that a show of hands would involve almost everyone who is here today. That cry, “it’s not fair!” is one of the most common ...read more

    Strong Drink Series

     | 4,280 views

    Jesus knew about strong drink. His whole life was but a preparation to drink, not a jigger, but a full cup down to the last dregs.

    Introduction Some people questioned me about the title of this sermon, “Strong Drink.” How much do I know about strong drink? Actually, nothing; not because of virtue so much as repulsion. Those shows that show a guy tossing down a jigger of whiskey, then shaking his head and ...read more

     | 1,404 views

    As James challenges his readers to have a true religion, he comes to a part of our faith-life that is nearly impossible to control - our tongues.

    Before we dive into the main content of the message today, I want to point out something rather obvious - there are no notes in your bulletins. There is a sense in which this sermon is set up fairly similarly to others - a couple of main points with smaller points, but there is also a sense in ...read more
