    The Witness Of Poverty

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 30, 2019
     | 3,449 views

    In an era when the contrast between the rich and the poor is most pronounced–our own time–like Francis, we are all called to follow the example of Christ in simplicity and poverty.

    Tuesday of the 4th Week in Lent 2019 San Francisco di Paola One of the dominant themes of both the OT and the NT stories is what we have to look forward to in the kingdom of God. God’s kingdom, when we are confirmed as its citizens after our life on this earth, is a reign of plenty, a restoration ...read more

    Paul says , "the Israelites were under the cloud of Gods leadership, under the cloud of Gods Provisional Plan, Under the cloud of Gods Redemptive Plan, and under the Cloud of Gods Justice". If they are under the cloud then so are we.

    “Were Living Under The Cloud” 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 • Cloud refers " to a covering," clouds cover the sky. The word is used as a symbol of the Divine presence, • Jehovah came down upon Sinai in a dense or thick cloud • At the dedication of the temple also the ...read more

    Ramifications of being filled with the Holy Spirit

    The Evidence of the Infilling of the Holy Spirit There are those in every generation who have tried to negate the fact that speaking in tongues is for today. These people twist the Scriptures and take them out of context to prove their point of view. In spite of this, many people have received the ...read more

    Jesus spoke emphatically to Thomas (and us) “Stop Doubting – Start Believing”.

    THE FACTS AND THE TRUTH Last week we talked about Doubting Thomas in John 20. Jesus spoke emphatically to Thomas (and us) “Stop Doubting – Start Believing”. Evidently some doubt while others believe. 1. Doubting – closely connected with how we rationalize things in our brain. We rely on our ...read more

    A sermon focused on God’s guidance; part of a series from Proverbs on living the wise life.

    Show Me the Way Prov. 3:5-8 I don’t like asking for directions. There, I’ve admitted it for all the world to know. Of course all the world probably knew that already about me; I am a man. And the “fairer” half of the human race has stereotyped all men as hating to ask for directions. And guys, ...read more

    the offering of Isaac and what steps are revealed in Abraham become Spiritually Great

    Intro: hearing Michael Jordan’s acceptance speech into the Basketball Hall of Fame made me realize his greatness was in his desire to be great. Every aspect of his life was moving toward greatness. There was never a doubt he would arrive at the goal, because his movement was constantly going in ...read more

    How many times do we need to see or hear God asking us to do some good thing for the spread of His kingdom?

    Tuesday of the 20th Week in Course 2019 St. Bernard of Clairvaux If there is a critical message in our Scriptures today, it is something we see here and there in both Old and New Testaments: “with God all things are possible.” St. Luke records the angel Gabriel saying it to Mary in a double ...read more

    Thirtieth Sunday In Ordinary Time; 30th Sunday B--Bartimaeus.

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 23, 2021
     | 1,051 views

    We can all get stuck on the side of the road in different ways at different times in our lives.

    The name, fame and shame of Bartimaeus. His name means Bar, meaning “the son of” Timaeus. Others point to the Aramaic or Hebrew word for "unclean" (‘bar-tem’), suggesting that BartimaeSus is "son of the unclean." In reality both names fit because Bartimaeus was a poor ...read more

    The Sign Of Jonah (Matthew 12:38-42)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 6, 2025
     | 207 views

    The Pharisees kept clamoring for a sign that Jesus was the Promised Messiah. Jesus in turn saw this request as a waste of time and effort. Nothing He would do or say would ever make them believe.

    Beginning in Matthew 12:38-42, we read that the Pharisees won’t leave Jesus alone. Now they wanted to see a “sign from heaven” that would provide visual evidence of His Divinity. Consider what has happened so far in the ministry of the Lord Jesus. These same religious leaders had seen the ...read more

    Abusive Acts Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Nov 2, 2023
     | 791 views

    Here we have two pointed statements in this verse, one referring to the reviles at dignities, the other to the defilers of the flesh. Brute beasts can be smart but they obviously do not have spiritual knowledge. Their reasoning was no more advanced than that of animals' instincts.

    Jude 1:10 - Abusive Acts Jude 1:10: “But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.” KNOW NOT & KNOW The word Know means to gain a firm mental grasp of something or to become acquainted with ...read more

    In Acts 26:16-32, we see how one can turn “From Darkness to Light” beginning from: 1) The Appearing of Light (Acts 26:16–18), 2) Proclaiming the Light (Acts 26:19–23) and 3) 3) Persevering in the Light (Acts 26:24-32)

    Acts 26:16–32 16 But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you, 17 delivering you from your people and from the Gentiles—to whom I am sending ...read more

     | 6,086 views

    Presenting our bodies as a sacrifice is part of worship to which we are called. The message is an exploration of the apostolic design for worship pleasing to God.

    “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
