    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,222 views

    Luke's account of the resurrection raises the issue of the struggle the early church had to believe the women's witness to Christ's resurrection. We too struggle to believe, yet ultimately, do because we trust in the validity of the women's Easter sermon

    Easter Day Yr C, 4/04/2010 Lk 24:1-12 Rev. Garth Wehrfritz-Hanson Chaplain of The Good Samaritan Society’s South Ridge Village, Medicine Hat, Alberta “An idle tale or Gospel Truth?” You have likely heard or even witnessed stories where reality is stranger than fiction. After ...read more

    The only parts of the Bible we believe are the parts we DO. As we read God's word with humility and awe (and a willingness to obey) we are transformed.

    Kathleen Norris tells the story of a South Dakota rancher and his bride who received a leather-bound Bible as a wedding gift from the groom’s grandfather. They wrote a thank-you note and stowed the Bible away on a closet shelf, out of the way. As time passed, the grandfather repeatedly ...read more

     | 8,724 views

    The proud are caught up in illusions about themselves. Humility helps us submit to God’s definition of reality rather than ours.

    We’re starting a new series on the Seven Deadly Sins and their corresponding Heavenly Virtues. With every negative command in Scripture there’s a related positive duty; for every “Thou shall not” there is a “Thou shall”. Sin is our ruin, virtue our ...read more

    With the morning of 1st January comes not only a new year but for many of us a hope of a new ME. The trouble is, more years than not, we quickly realise it might be a new year but it’s the same old me.

    What a difference we hope one evening will make. The sun sets on 31st December and when it has risen the next morning a new year has begun. All that was of the year past has gone and the New Year is here. New possibilities, new hopes, new ideas and dreams. Making New Year’s resolutions takes the ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,775 views

    Paul prays for his partners in the Gospel, the Philippian church.

    Someone has said that in Paul’s other letters, he is an “attack dog;” but in the letter to the Philippians, he is more like a “lap dog.” There is quite a difference in his letter to the Philippians and many of his other letters. When he wrote to the Galatians, he was combating heresy. When he wrote ...read more

    Freedom Through Self-Denial

    Contributed by Norayr Hajian on Apr 1, 2008
    based on 18 ratings
     | 15,223 views

    On the one hand, Jesus says "deny yourself, take up your cross and follow me." On the other hand Jesus says "I have come that they may have life and have it to the full." The message explains how is self-denial is a life "to the fullest".

    Today we’re going to look at a topic that is very personal. The scripture is from Luke 9:23 “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” Just hearing these words is difficult. Putting them into practice seems utterly hopeless, unrealistic. We ...read more

    Just as ancient offerings were said to ascend to the heavens, so also a life lived in praise connects us with God in powerful ways.
