    Why does our human frailty hesitate to believe that mankind will one day live with God?

    Tuesday of Easter Week 2019 In Monday of Holy Week, the Divine Office gives us a snippet from one of St. Augustine’s sermons. He asks, “Why does our human frailty hesitate to believe that mankind will one day live with God?” Christ gave us the gift of His own death, so why would He not in love ...read more

    Billy Graham used to say: "Salvation is free, but discipleship will cost you everything." That is an accurate expression of the teachings of Jesus on the cost of discipleship. In this sermon, we explore what it means to pay the cost of discipleship.

    A. I like the old classic joke about the chicken and the pig who were talking about going into business. 1. The chicken says: “Hey Pig, we should open a restaurant.” The pig replies: “I’m not sure, what would we call it?” 2. The chicken answers: “What if we called it ‘Ham and Eggs’?” The pig ...read more

    We all struggle with a "dual nature." We sort of like Bannon/The Hulk from the movies and comic books. It doesn't take much to move us away from Christ-likeness to self-interest and rebellion.

    You can listen to this sermon on my podcast at: https://www.buzzsprout.com/697261/2134049 Do Everything  Intro: • Jekyll & Hyde, The Hulk o Book cover o Jekyll/Hyde illustration o Bannon/Hulk o Bannon/Hulk meld • Stories like these illuminate the struggle in all of us. Good vs. ...read more

    The Spirit Of Fear

    We all deal with fear on some level. We must take on fear directly in the name of Jesus. Based on 2 Tim. 1:5-7. No more cowering to fear.

    I love going to Summersville Lake. One of the highlights of the lake is all of the rocky ledges that you can climb up on and then jump into the water. The two or three footers are pretty easy. The eight footers will give you a pause before you take the leap. But it was when several of us climbed up ...read more

    A Christmas Message: Peace Of God

    Contributed by Sunitha Justin on Dec 20, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,028 views

    Christmas, or coming of Jesus into the world, brought us peace in three ways. 1. Jesus brought us peace with God. 2. Jesus brought us peace with our own self. 3. Jesus brought us peace with others

    The Hebrew word for peace is Shalom. Shalom is used as salutation by Jewish people at meeting or parting, meaning ‘peace’. Shalom means peace, harmony, wholeness, completeness, prosperity, welfare and tranquillity. Shalom doesn’t mean ‘absence of problems’ or ‘absence of trouble’. Rather, the ...read more

    Complacent Faith

    Contributed by Kamalanathan Francis on Aug 26, 2021
     | 2,323 views

    Complacency is a contagious belief and practice rising among many. The individualistic society seeks to embrace even complacent faith with pride.

    Well, 500 years before Christ, Amos was sent to Israelites to warn their complacency (Amos 4:1-5 / 6:1-6) not to condemn but to point their way forward. They had their law, teachers, and religious leaders, but not God because they were following their own self-absorbed life. Due to the complacent ...read more

    “It’s not the size of the man in the fight, but the size of the fight in the man!” I would add that it’s the size of the man’s God that will change the outcome. Follow along as we look at a little man named Zacchaeus!

    THE LITTLE MAN WHO MET A BIG GOD Lk. 19:1-10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Look Who’s Scary 1.

    Spitfire

    How many times have we spit fire and have said more than we meant to say? How many times have we lost our cool? James is talking about teaching and self-control as it relates to speech.

    SPITFIRE (September 16, 2012) Text: James 3:1- 12 Jas 3:1-12  Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers and sisters, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.  (2)  For all of us make many mistakes. Anyone who makes no mistakes in speaking is ...read more

    And what I want to talk with you about today is- spurs. I looked up the word to see exactly what it meant. And according to the dictionary it means a device with a small spike or a spiked wheel that is worn on a rider's heel and used for urging a horse forward.

    Introduction Somewhere in a Hartson family photo album is a picture of me at the age of about three. In the picture, I have on my cowboy hat, cowboy shirt, my boots, short pants standing next to my spring action rocking horse. Now that I have grown up, I realize there are some photo flaws in that ...read more

    Satan Uses Religion

    Satan uses hypocrisy, fratricide, and self righteousness to misdirect and misfocus the Christian (Adapted from a book by Joe Beam called "Seeing the Unseen")

    HoHum: Does Satan go to church? I know he does. Yes, the spiritual forces of evil are here but mostly they work through people. Imagine Simon Peter’s surprise when this happened: “Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling-block to me; you do not have in mind the ...read more
