Uncle Andy's Pancake House

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Mar 31, 2018

When The Cure Looks Like The Curse

Contributed by Patty Groot on Sep 16, 2025

This sermon calls us to lift our eyes from our wounds to Christ...just as the Israelites looked at the bronze serpent, trusting God to transform our places of pain into sources of healing and redemption.

We avoid the memories that wounded us, the people who betrayed us, the experiences that left us scarred. But what if God invites us, ...read more
