    This sermon examines what is our reasonable service and why our service is reasonable.

    Scripture For the past few weeks we have been studying Romans 12:1-2. In Romans 12 the Apostle Paul begins applying the doctrine that he has been teaching for the previous 11 chapters. Now, it is not that he has made no application in the previous 11 chapters; he has. However, as he begins chapter ...read more

    Our mission, through prayer, fasting and almsgiving, and through a constant witness to the Truth of Jesus Christ, is to share the love of God with as many as we can, so that we will all be together in eternity at the awesome banquet of the Lamb of God.

    Tuesday of the 4th Week in Easter 2019 St. Matthias Today we remember the outcome of one of the great human tragedies–the treason and suicide of the apostle Judas. Now we don’t know from the magisterium what happened to Judas after he died. Did he have a moment of clarity that caused him to repent ...read more

    The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard is a well know parable of grace, but it is also a parable of receiving. We must learn to receive.

    This sermon was delivered to Holy Trinity in Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 24th September 2017 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries). Jon 3.10-4.11 Ps 145.1-8 Phil 1.21-30 Matt 20.1-16 Psalm 19:14: Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of our hearts, ...read more

    The Question Of Image

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 4, 2023
     | 1,197 views

    What does it mean to be the image of God? Is it doing or being or a combination of both?

    A few nights ago I attended a Shabbas - Sabbath - celebration at Temple Aaron, a Conservative Jewish synagogue in St. Paul. If you’ve never been to one try to get an opportunity; it’s a wonderful experience. But this one was a little different than most. To celebrate Martin Luther King’s birthday ...read more

    In a world that screams for you to trust yourself and follow your gut, what does it truly mean to trust in the Lord with all your heart?

    Introduction: The Self-built Structure We are all builders. From the moment we wake up and face the day, we are constructing our lives, making decisions that add to the structure of our future. And every structure needs a foundation, something to lean on when the ground shakes and the storms of ...read more

     | 944 views

    David's journey to the throne seemed to stop when he found himself in a cave hiding from King Saul's army. David had an opportunity to kill Saul. However, he handled it in a way that demonstrated both his godly character and leadership.

    We have followed the life of David from the time where he was a shepherd boy tending the flocks of his family to the battlefields of Israel. He has matured from a boy into a man, killing a giant, winning the heart of the nation, and developing into a man of God. He had reached the pinnacles of ...read more

    For many Christianity is just not working for them. That may be the reason so many Christians have so little real impact on others, on their world. They live without a clear purpose. God designed and created you for a purpose; His purpose.

    COLOSSIANS 1: 24-29 THE HOPE OF GLORY [2 Corinthians 11:23-29] By the Cross of Christ Christians have been made acceptable to God. Someone said that the idea of redemption in a world of sin and tragedy constitutes the noblest concept ever to enter the mind of God or the awareness of a human ...read more

    One of the greatest shocks a saint will ever know is to realize that other saints can be cruel. A shattering realization. As terrible as this is, full recovery is possible! Even better, some have more than recovered, they were able to minister to others.

    THE HIGHEST HONOR ISAIAH 53 10 One of the greatest shocks a saint will ever know is to realize that other saints can be cruel. A shattering realization. I would even go as far as to say this can be more damaging and even more painful than loosing a loved one. Some Christians will never recover. ...read more

    A saint is a witness to the goodness of God.In our life, in our patience in suffering sickness, poverty, abuse, discrimination, or mistreatment can be our witness for the glory of God. We can show what the Spirit of Christ is like, a sort of incarnation,

I Peter 2:19?25 For this is a gracious thing, when, mindful of God, one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly. For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure?

    Recycling Our Pain Series

    Our scripture for today falls into this category of verses I don’t understand when I first read them. Here it is. Happy are those who are persecuted.

    “Recycling our Pain” Matthew 5:10 In my personal study of the gospels one of the things I have noticed is that some of the teachings of Jesus are just very difficult for us to follow. At times when we read them they don’t even make sense. For instance, Jesus said: • If ...read more

    How do we deal with struggle and suffering? What is the Biblical perspective on knowing if God cares as we walk through life?

    Struggle: a biblical perspective to Maturity in Christ Matthew 8: 23 When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him. 24 And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being covered with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep. 25 And they came to Him and woke Him, ...read more
