    Knowing And Doing God's Will

    Contributed by Adam Cain on Sep 14, 2009
    based on 7 ratings
     | 22,473 views

    You must know and do God’s will. Just knowing or just doing won’t cut it

    Note: This is written based on a message that I preached way back in 2001 so a little background here might help. I was wrestling with whether God wanted me to be a preacher or not. I prayed a while then asked my pastor for an opportunity to speak as part of a Youth Sunday service. He agreed to let ...read more

    Father’s Day 2012 (Video for Luke I am your father) “I am your father” probably one of the greatest scenes in movie history. For most of us we know who our dad is, or at least we assume we do. My father used to tell me that I belonged to the Milk man in Chatham NB, he said that ...read more

     | 16,845 views

    In His boyhood, Jesus demonstrates how to develop a balanced life.

    We consider a fictional story about a mischievous boy who refuses to grow up as cute. [Show picture of Peter Pan]. But when the same thing occurs in real life, there is something wrong. And that seems to be happening more and more in today’s culture as illustrated by the opening words from a ...read more

    The Unity Of The Whole Of Scripture Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 16, 2012
     | 3,933 views

    We can use the story of the finding of Jesus in the Temple to illustrate how the Scripture is best read as a whole, with the New Testament's meaning being fleshed out by its OT references.

    Solemnity of St Joseph 2012 Verbum Domini The Solemnity of St. Joseph is a very appropriate day to line out some ideas about the Word of God, and interpretation of the Word. We can easily focus on the “unity of the whole of Scripture,” which is the first of the three marks of ...read more

    No dad is perfect. We all have our ’moments’ Even Jesus dad had his ’moments." But thank God our children are resilient and can recover if we don’t give up and keep on loving and leading them as dads.

    All Dad’s Have ‘Homer Simpson’ moments! <VIDEO> The Simpson’s cartoon intro Anyone who has ever watched the Simpsons would have to agree that Homer Simpson is not your ideal dad.

    People get so focused on the immediate: work, friends, hobbies, sports, and the busyness of life that they lose focus on the important and wake up one day and realize they left their spouse and kids behind.

    Yes, I’ve cheated on Tiffany: It has happened twice. In 2005 & the first part of 2006 and also in 2009: I’m going to tell you the persons name in a moment. Everyone of you know her.

    Sometimes we need not be in such a rush to get out the door of the church but mediate and reflect on what you just heard and ask the preacher questions.

    Verse 41-43-How we get away from Jesus Notice Mary and Joseph were in hurry to get home. They did not linger there in Jerusalem. They had accomplished their religious obligation and did not want to hang around the church house any longer than they had to. (To eat Sunday Dinner. To watch the ...read more
