    This particular text is normally examined when we are going through difficult times, but can you imagine it from Jesus’ point of view and how much He desires to give us rest? (Ref: Matthew 11:25-30)

    The power of God’s word, spoken to Peter and the others by the very Word of God, Son of the Father, was enough to kick in the adrenaline and motivate the fishermen to fish longer in the worst time of day in the part of the lake with the worst prospects.

    Fifth Sunday in Course 2025 The first thing that strikes me as I read today’s Gospel is that Peter and his fishing crew had been working all night and then had cleaned their nets. These professionals had just worked at least ten hours and were ready to go home. Jesus came along with hundreds of ...read more

    (Outline is from a message by Rick Warren) While God uses many means to speak His will to us, this message examines four primary ways to hear God.

    Introduction: I. Last Sunday we spoke of the need to “Cultivate a Heart to Hear God” A. If, and we believe God does speak; as His sheep, we should be able to hear Him. B. If, and we believe God does speak; we should be able to discern what He has said. II. The premise of last Sunday’s message ...read more

    There is something intensely individualistic and ego affirming in the idea that you make your own way. We would all like to think that we could pull ourselves up by our own boot straps, that we are ‘self-made people.’

    Called to Serve August 29, 2020 As I was reading for this message, someone asked what the number 10 to the 2 trillion - 400 billionth power represents? I’m not sure that’s an actual number.

    There is a special set of charisms and sufferings for those called to pastoral office in the Church.

    Christians, especially Catholics, should never be surprised by suffering and pain. If we are surprised, it ought to be if we do not suffer pain and disappointment and grief. Jesus told us that during His absence, we would weep and lament while the secular world rejoices. St. Teresa commented ...read more

    Knowing the end of his life is near, Jesus needs to remake His disciples’ understanding of what their responsibilities are as they await His return. And so Jesus tells them a story that had a familiar ring: The Good Samaritan

    The Call to Faithfulness Luke 19:11-27 In Luke 19, it is late winter and Jesus is on His way to Jerusalem for His last Passover and the last week of His earthly life. He has just arrived in Jericho, the lowest city on the face of the earth which is 1000 feet below sea level. That makes Jericho ...read more

    God calls us to grow in our intimate relationship (if we are married), in our brotherly love, and in our attitude to work.
