    Please, hit me, slap my face: I deserve it! I am abnormal I think, and I should consult a physician or a good psychologist, because: - Women only attract me, - I married one, - I become father, naturally, without any clone or genetic stuff aid, -

    Those Who Are Persecuted Series

    There are some who do not see the Christian life as one that involves physical or emotional pain. The popular message to preach nowadays is the “prosperity message.” That message satisfies a lot of people.

    As we continue our study on THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT, we will see tonight that the direction in which Jesus was teaching (in the first nine verses) takes a sharp turn in the highway. The verses we have already studied have been inspiring and uplifting for me, personally. But what we will read ...read more

    End Time Last (A) - Christ the King will return to judge. The "goats" will be forever punished. The "sheep" will be forever in heaven.

    The Power Of And The Opposition To The Gospel Acts 19:21-41 Our text records the story of a riot in Ephesus instigated against Paul and the new church there.

    Is He The Christ? Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Oct 13, 2008
    based on 28 ratings
     | 9,725 views

    If Jesus’ authority to not only interpret the Sabbath but also to work on the Sabbath indeed comes from God, then Jesus is making a messianic claim. This claim opens the way to questions concerning His origins—divine origins. Is He the Christ?

    JOHN 7: 25-36 IS HE THE CHRIST? The force of Jesus’ argument with the authorities seems to impress many in the audience who are either residents of the city or pilgrims in Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles. Thus a shift in subject springs from Jesus’ last answer. If Jesus’ authority to ...read more

    Genesis verse-by-verse

    Genesis 27 [Daytimer, cell phone and wallet demonstration.] You know what the main reason I need these things is? Because I’m human. God doesn’t need anything to remind Him of anything.

    Epiphany reveals Jesus as a gentle yet powerful king.

    “Long live the king!” Did you catch the crowning ceremony of a new king over Christmas? He’s not king over any country. He has a crown but no palace. And not even all his “subjects” recognize him as their sovereign. I’m talking about Dan Stanescu, the new self-proclaimed king of the Roma people, ...read more

    A SERMON FOR THE FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT Jesus says to keep watch, keep awake - to be ready and prepared. A call to put our spiritual ’house’ in order to welcome him.

    Treasures In The Sand

    St. Francis of Assisi said, “Love God with all your heart and do as you please.” When we love God passionately, supremely, extremely, completely we can do whatever we feel like doing!

    On one of our rare excursions to Sauble Beach I noticed amongst the sea of sunbathers an odd-looking, not-dressed-for-the-occasion-figure sweeping the sand with a metal detector. He was searching for treasures in the sand. He was a little scary as he came too close to a child who was gazing through ...read more
