    Prayer Meeting

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Oct 21, 2016
     | 10,402 views

    This is a sermon calling us to repentance from a better than thou attitude of the Pharisee

    The Good, The Bad, & The Snuggly

    Jesus points to our salvation by the Father's grace alone, not by our works--first through a parable, and then in action as He welcomes children (even infants).

    The Word of God that engages us today is our Gospel reading from Luke 18. And in our Gospel reading, Jesus challenges the presuppositions of those around Him. Our Gospel reading is really broken down into two sections—and quite often you’ll get a sermon on one or the other, as if ...read more

    whenever Catholic theology gives an answer, it usually has the word “et” in it. There is always an add-on, an essential “and.”

    Tenth Sunday After Pentecost 2016 The parable usually called “the Pharisee and the Publican” could just as easily be called “Self-delusion and self-understanding.” But let’s understand that Jesus told this parable to Pharisees, who trusted in themselves that they ...read more

    When you look into a mirror what do you see? How do you see yourself? How do you see yourself in relation to God and eternity? Having a right view of who and what we are is essential to a right relationship with God.

    The focus is humility in prayer out of a realization that righteousness can not be reached by means of our own efforts. Prayers are heard & answered because of God's mercy not because of our self-justifying merits.
