  • Jonah And The Call To Convert The Nations Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jan 20, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,032 views

    Isn’t God’s mercy good news for all of us? He’s forgiven the sins of my youth, and, yes, even my old age.

    3rd Sunday in Course 2021 Poor Jonah. We can hardly blame him. God tells him to go convert the people and rulers of Nineveh, heart of the Assyrian empire. You see, the Assyrians were for about six centuries the scourge of the ancient Middle East, kind of a cross between the Huns, the Vandals and ...read more

  • Ants In The Pants

    Seeing is not believing!

    Ants In The Pants – John 20: 19 - 31 Intro: If I had written the account of the resurrection of Jesus, it would have been a little bit different. For example: John would run up to Peter as he returned from witnessing the empty tomb. Excitedly, John would say, “Peter, I have good news and I ...read more

  • Who Really Is Responsible? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 16, 2021
     | 1,731 views

    It took some time to process the traumatic and surprising events of Holy Week

    3rd Sunday of Easter When something traumatic happens in your family, perhaps a death or serious injury, do you find often that there’s at least a temptation toward chaos? This is especially true if one of the key linchpins in the family is taken out of commission for a time, or even permanently. ...read more

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

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 28, 2023
     | 843 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

  • Let's Not Miss The Opportunity For Victory

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 19, 2023
     | 989 views

    The roles of obedient faith, steadfast hope and laboring love

    Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Course 2023 It’s pretty clear to anyone who observes humans as they go about their days just what is important to most. What is most important to us becomes clearest when we look at what takes up most of our time. If success in one’s career drives his ambition, then more ...read more

  • The Name Above All Names At Which We Bend Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 9, 2025
     | 257 views

    The Son of God was divine already, but He thought it unfair to glom onto that identity. He became the face of the divine compassion and enduring love, God’s hesed, by emptying Himself of all His divine glory, all His divine dignity.

    Palm/Passion Sunday The critical reading we are given from Scripture today is not one of the two Gospels, not the triumphant Palm Sunday story of Christ’s entry to Jerusalem and not the story of the Last Supper, Passion and death of Our Lord. No, the reading that is crucial to an understanding of ...read more

  • How Do You Make Decisions?

     | 515 views

    Mozart was a great musician, but a terrible philosopher.

    Tenth Sunday in Course 2024 The great composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is quoted as saying “I pay no attention whatever to anybody's praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.” It seems appropriate to apply this statement to our first reading today, because the original man, whom we ...read more

  • Do Not Fear; Only Believe

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 27, 2024
     | 618 views

    God made man and woman in His image, with the plan that they would act and become more and more good, more and more like Himself. That was the divine order.

    Thirteenth Sunday in Course 2024 In his great Summa Theologiae, St Thomas Aquinas wrote “the order of the Divine government is wholly directed to good. . .no one acts intending evil.” (ST I Q 104 Art 1) Those words are an appropriate commentary on the words from the post-exile writing Book of ...read more

  • No Shortcuts

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Sep 29, 2025
     | 40 views

    Christ endured His temptations because there was no shortcut to glory and our redemption.

    No Shortcuts Luke 4:1-13 Matthew 4:1-11 (Three categories 1 John 2:16): • Stones to Bread (Lust of the flesh) • Kingdoms of the Earth (Lust of the eye) • Pinnacle of the Temple (Pride of life) I. Turning Stones to Bread A. Memorial Stones – Joshua 4:4-8 (ESV) 4 Then Joshua called the twelve men ...read more

  • The Shepherd's Sacred Heart Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 22, 2025
     | 170 views

    Jesus, who is the Second Person of the Trinity and True God, is in His human nature like a shepherd for all of us who believe in Him.

    Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus 2025 Before we look at today’s Scriptures, let’s look back even before king Saul and King David to the time when the Israelites were led by Judges. The greatest of these was Samuel. In the first book of Samuel, chapter 8, we see a picture of Samuel when he ...read more

  • The Revelation Of A New Supper Series

    how Jesus revealed a new supper to his disciples on the night he was betrayed

    The Revelation of a New Supper Matthew 26: 26 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.” 27 Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28 This is my ...read more

  • Frustration!

     | 14,554 views

    A look at frustration (and its cure) through the eyes of St. Paul in his letter to the Romans.

    Grace to you and peace from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Frustration. How many of you here today have been frustrated in the past week? How many of you have suffered some form of frustration even this morning? Did anybody pull out in front of you when you ...read more

  • Love According To Christ Series

    Contributed by Christopher Martin on Sep 27, 2010
    based on 6 ratings
     | 9,378 views

    Preached May 2nd, 2010 for the 5th Sunday of Easter at St. Paul's, Big Cove Tannery, St. Paul, McConnellsburg, and Mt. Zion, Little Cove. It talks about the difference between the world's definition of love and God's definition of love through Jesus Chri

    There’s a lot of talk in our world today about the topics of love. You’ll even hear those words used quite a bit by a lot of preachers in a lot of different churches. In fact, Jesus Himself in today’s Gospel reading gives us a commandment to “love one another as I have ...read more

  • The Original Nic At Night Series

    Contributed by Glenn Durham on Mar 18, 2008
    based on 11 ratings
     | 22,377 views

    God provides a new birth for those who recognize their first one did not fit them for heaven.

    Introduction Sermon #6 in a Series on the Gospel of John Someone once asked a young woman, “What is the difference between my religion and yours?” She responded, “They are actually quite close. In fact, only two letters separate our beliefs. Your religion is spelled, ‘D-O; DO.’ Mine is spelled: ...read more
