    Having A Contrite Heart

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Oct 23, 2025
     | 141 views

    The parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector show us the importance of having a contrite heart that is aware of one's own sinfulness and lives in appreciation of God's mercy.

    ONE OF THE CHURCH’S ANCIENT LITURGIES IS WHEN THE PRIEST STARTED MASS WITH THE PRAYER “LORD, YOU WERE SENT TO HEAL THE CONTRITE OF HEART.” THE RESPONSE OF THE PEOPLE WAS TO SAY, “LORD, HAVE MERCY.” WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE A CONTRITE HEART AND TO SEEK GOD’S MERCY? TO HAVE A CONTRITE HEART MEANS ...read more

    Exploring the Garden of Gethsemane, we delve into the profound strength of prayer as demonstrated by Jesus. This sermon aims to help us appreciate the gift of prayer that God has generously given us.

    As we examine the Garden at Gethsemane, the place where Jesus prayed, let us recognize the incredible power of prayer that God has graciously given us.

    Shalom - I Have Every Reason To Be Grateful

    Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 10, 2020
     | 8,675 views

    Shalom means “nothing missing, nothing broken”. It is having God’s unshakable promise that makes a man perfect, whole, complete and full. It does not mean you have everything, but that He is your Everything. Jesus Provides, Preserves, Protects, etc. For these, I am grateful.

    SHALOM – WE HAVE EVERY REASON TO BE GRATEFUL Numbers 31: 48 Then the officers who were over the units of the army - the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds - went to Moses 49 and said to him, “Your servants have counted the soldiers under our command, and not one of them is missing. ...read more

    We human beings can and do sometimes irritate God. When we fail to respect God properly, the result is not a pretty picture. Our attitude toward God affects our lives significantly.

    Many young pastors have asked me to share with them ideas on how to create a funeral message. Here is one such example for a family that appreciates the traditional format of worship. Peace be with you.

    God Chooses To Bless The World Through Fathers

    Contributed by Sebastian D'souza on Jun 22, 2017
     | 5,046 views

    We don't always appreciate the impact of fathers on the world. This message takes Abraham and the words spoken to him as a foundation for what it means to be a father. It's not just about providing for the household.

    On father's day I want to focus on the father of nations. In fact his name means Father of Nations. His name is Abraham. Abraham was just a regular man, but God called him, gave him a purpose, and rewarded him with a great inheritance. We can learn something about the importance of fathers from ...read more

    If you want to exchange an attitude of defeat for an attitude of victory in your life, then fully follow the Lord, because you have learned to fully appreciate all that He has given you.

    I thank God for the children we have in our church, because there is so much we can learn from them. I like this sentiment shared on the internet by Debi Zahn from Sandwich, Illinois.

    If we love God, we will truly love the things we ought to love and we'll find some other way of expressing our appreciation for the material things we have.

    The passage from Hosea 11:1-10 is a story of God mourning over his people. He loved Israel like a parent loves a child, but Israel spurned him. Even though he was rejected, God still loved Israel and could not renounce his chosen people. It is a metaphor for what Jesus did. Jesus was rejected by ...read more

    As believers, we are called to bless others, regardless of their response. By focusing on others, appreciating their good qualities, and speaking well of them, we can invoke God's authority and bring blessings into their lives.
