    When man chooses to live life apart from (God) Immanuel – man first rejects God’s self-revelation.

    Life without Immanuel: Living in Spiritual Darkness “Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal ...read more

    We tie gift-giving to our own self-acceptance. Appropriate gifts to Christ announce that indeed we are acceptable to Him.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC, December 24, 1987 (Christmas Eve) Out there right now, running around with a harried look, and practically waving fistfuls of dollars in their hands, there are those folks who for one reason or another have a hard time with gift giving. They have waited ...read more

     | 8,308 views

    Too often in life, we find it easier to complain and wallow in our self pity, than to accept healing from Christ.

    Hopeless and Helpless? June 2, 2013 John 5:1-14 Have you ever felt hopeless — helpless — at the end of your proverbial rope? That’s a loaded question, because we’ve all been there. In one way, or many ways, we’ve been there. When we’re there, we have options, ...read more

    Jesus was the seed that died so that we might live; we too are called to die to self so that others may live.

    Monday of Holy Week 2013 Seeds 1 Two of the privileges given to deacons in this diocese is the ability to preside at baptisms and wake services.

    A Tale Of Two Prayers

    Contributed by Rev Ken Shedenhelm on Apr 16, 2013
     | 2,823 views

    Knowing ourselves to be a sinner opens the door to salvation, whereas self-righteousness separates us from our God and our neighbor.

    "A TALE OF TWO PRAYERS" It was just another day, like all the days that came before, and two men entered the temple to pray, as men had done for centuries. One of the men was a Pharisee. He was a man, to use Mark Twain's phrase, "who was good in the worst sense of the word." The other man was a ...read more

    Every church needs to take this message to heart because one of the most tragic characteristics of modern society is pride and self-sufficiency.

    I said last time that in Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians concerning what to do about their divided church, Paul gives 11 answers to their problem. The first answer, Paul said, was the cross. If the church would refocus on their purpose based upon the cross, the church would begin to ...read more

    We all have problems with the flesh. It is overindulged, self-assured, and out of control. This message is a call for us to take the battle to the flesh.

    THE RESTORATION OF HIS POWER Study Text: Judges 3: 7 - 12 Introduction: - Whenever the power of God is lost, the people of God cannot prevail over the enemy as expected of them because the presence of God has been withdrawn, and the glory of God will be missing. - When the Israelites ...read more

    Suffering love is a kind of beauty that for Von Baltazar gives rise to a subjective experience of rapture: being transported beyond the boundaries of the self.

    There was a group of mountain climbers and one guy was on his first high climb. The climb was strenuous but at last they reached the top. Once it was clear that the beginner climber was at the very top, he stood straight up with arms raised and yelled victoriously, "I did it!" At this ...read more
