    Sometimes we need information or material for our bulletins or minute lessons. Maybe these will start a thought?

    I call this minute sermons or bulletin fillers. I gladly give permission to use these and you need not give me any credit. Sometimes we just need a little thought to fill in space. Where are you today? Are you where you want to be? How long will you stay here? When will you change? Are you mad at ...read more

    From the standpoint of material wealth, Americans have difficulty realizing how rich we are.

    "From the standpoint of material wealth, Americans have difficulty realizing how rich we are. Going through a little mental exercise suggested by Robert Heilbroner can help us to count our blessings, however.

    Faith And Prayer

    Why are some prayers answered while others are not? It has to do with materialism vs. spirituality.

    Faith and Prayer Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Mark 9:14-29 14 When they came back to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them. 15 Immediately, when the entire crowd saw Him, they were amazed and began running up to greet Him. 16 And He asked them, ...read more

    Thirtieth Sunday In Ordinary Time, B: Bartimaeus

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 11, 2024

    Jesus never gave any person with a disability, who was begging, money or any material goods.

    Bartimaeus, called “a blind man,” in Mark 10:46, is begging on Jericho Street, we hear in our Gospel today, and a verse from the First Reading, Jeremiah 31:8, describes those such as him as the “blind and the lame.” Today, we would be more sensitive and say that Bartimaeus is “person who is blind; ...read more

    Seems many are so focused on materialism they miss the discipline of CONTENTMENT. Maturity will be found in content people.

    Explores faith in difficult circumstances, God's provision beyond material wealth, and embracing God's promises.

    Good morning, beloved family of God. It is indeed a blessing to be gathered here today, under the shelter of His love and grace.

    Why are God’s people often not living counter-culturally or don’t seem to clash with culture? Maybe the problem has something to do with being intellectually or scientifically stimulated about Jesus and the mysterious cosmic phenomenon rather than experie

    I read a fascinating article last week that invited me to watch a breath-taking phenomenon that only occurs once every 44 years. It is the aligning of Jupiter and Venus with the Moon.

    This story occurs a couple of days before Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem and affirms that a Miracle, which comes from God and contradicts Known Scientific Law, cannot be destroyed or altered until the season for which God created the miracle has passed.

    INTRODUCTION: YOU CANNOT KILL A MIRACLE. Let’s Start Looking at the Events Around The Easter Event. This Story Occurs About A Couple Of Days Before Jesus’ Triumphal Entry To Jerusalem.

    What You Get When You Give

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 15, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,671 views

    What happens when you give of your time, talents, and money? Many ministries teach that you will receive a material blessing for material giving. I think they completely miss the mark. Paul, in this chapter, sets out a wonderful pattern of the true result

    Last time we talked about the motivation behind giving, and the process for how to give: it comes from the word “generosity” which means simplicity, sincerity, and singleness. We give who we are, and what we have, back to the Lord who owns it all, for Him to take our simple gifts given ...read more

    The Power To Meet Needs

    Contributed by Leonard Davis on Mar 4, 2016
     | 9,583 views

    People may genuinely want to help others and because God is left out, they set out to do it in their own strength. It doesn’t take long when dealing with material wealth and/or material resources that limitations are soon reached.

    THE POWER TO MEET NEEDS John 6:5-11, 26-31, 47-51 You’ve heard of having too much month at the end of the money. Our resources can run out before all the needs are met. For a lot of people this is an ongoing experience. They are like the person described in the song Sixteen Tons – ...read more
