    First Sunday Of Advent, Year B: Advent Hope

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 5, 2023
     | 2,600 views

    Optimism is an assessment. Hope is an act.

    A man named John Hakel says his three-year-old daughter looked at a calendar and asked him, "Daddy, how many BE GOOD days until Christmas?" 1 Advent is not a penitential season; it’s a period of devout and expectant delight, yet we intuitively understand that it is not possible ...read more

    Squander yourself for hope in Christ.

    A three-year-old was helping his mother unpack their nativity set. He announced each piece as he unwrapped it from the tissue paper. “Here’s the donkey!” he said. “Here’s a king,” and “Here’s a camel!” When he finally got to a one-piece tiny infant molded to his crib, he proclaimed, “Here’s baby ...read more

    First Sunday Of Lent, Year A- The Tactics Of Temptation

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 21, 2023
     | 1,506 views

    C.S. Lewis made an astute observation in his masterful Screwtape Letters: the devil cannot manufacture real goods or pleasures; he’s stuck with the ones God has made and for which our natures have an inclination.

    I saw this Cartoon of Satan tempting Jesus, saying: “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a medium rare ribeye steak with truffle butter.” [Jesus is thinking to himself, “He’s getting better at this.”] Note that Jesus did not say, “Man cannot live by coffee alone, but he will ...read more

    Second Sunday Of Lent, Year A- Transfiguration Thoughts

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 25, 2023
     | 1,676 views

    There is no "on the mountain" and "off the mountain" which can be explained by the virtue of equanimity.

    Peter was talking, but yielded to the voice from heaven and listened. “Listen to him" we hear from God the Father. Matthew 17:5 A woman named Barb tells about an incident that happened in her granddaughter’s kindergarten class. A boy in the class just wasn’t listening to his teacher. The ...read more

    Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time, Year B-- Heal

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 14, 2024
     | 832 views

    The answer to the “tsunami of secularism” is nothing less than a tsunami of the Spirit.

    In the film “Dead Man Walking,” there is a striking moment of contrasting pastoral styles. As the condemned prisoner, Matthew Poncelet, walks to his execution, the prison chaplain, Father Farley, suddenly appears to offer his blessing — a dispassionate ritual performed from a safe distance. ...read more

    Third Sunday Of Lent, Year B- Made To Crave

    “What if Jesus made a whip out of cords, knotted them with the Ten Commandments. What would he clear out of you?

    There were two kids looking at the Ten Commandments at Sunday school and one of them says, “Seems like there’s a lot more things my parents won’t let me do than these.” Let’s clean up some misunderstandings of some of the specific commandments-- 1.As part of the First Commandment: “You shall ...read more

    Third Sunday Of Lent Year B- Cleansing The Temple

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Mar 5, 2021
     | 3,292 views

    Jesus is doing disruptive even violent actions here, shocking me out of my consumerist mentality. No wonder my Savior hangs on a Cross.

    Whipping us into shape? “He made a whip out of cords.” John 2:15 Jesus made a whip. Making something with your hands can be therapeutic. Making a whip shows his anger did not impair his judgement. Writing an angry letter is a good way of bringing our feelings out so that we can see them. ...read more

    Seven Sundays To Easter: He Loved Them To The Uttermost Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 10, 2021
     | 3,540 views

    Jesus and the 12 Disciples celebrated Passover in the "upper room" in Jerusalem. While they were there, the Lord showed these men just how much He really loved them. Other things happened there, too.

    Introduction: The apostle John was an eyewitness to many of the events he recorded in his Gospel. One of the most touching, in my opinion, is this episode that took place just hours before the Lord Jesus Christ was crucified. He knew exactly what the Lord meant, when John said the Lord loved them ...read more

    We need the ground for all those negatives things to die.

    And when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to myself.” John 12:32 He draws us, not forces us. Jeremiah 31:3 “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.’” Song of Songs 1:3, “Draw me after you.” He draws us by his suffering for ...read more

    Seven Sundays To Easter: The End—but It Wasn’t Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 20, 2021
     | 3,304 views

    The Lord Jesus Christ had been sentenced to death by crucifixion. Once He died, most people believed that everything died along with Him. But it wasn't--three days later, He arose from Joseph's tomb, ALIVE!

    Introduction: The Lord Jesus Christ had been betrayed and arrested in the garden of Gethsemane, as all four Gospel writers describe in their works. What happened next is an attempt to get rid of Jesus by any means necessary in the minds of the religious leaders. It’s a sad commentary that ...read more

    Graduation Sunday: How Do I Make A Difference? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021
     | 5,415 views

    The average life span for an American in recent years is just a little over 78 years. If you’re average, high school seniors have 60 more years to live – if you’re average! Think of this way: you’ve completed your first quarter. What will you do with your life?

    We continue to explore the New Testament book of Colossians together. This morning I want to speak on this subject, “How Do I Make a Difference?”. You can find a link to our sermon notes in the chat and a communication card. If you’re new with us, please take a moment by telling us a little about ...read more

    Twelfth Sunday In Ordinary Time, B-- Asleep In A Storm

     | 1,830 views

    The boat was 26.5 feet long, 7.5 wide and 4.5 feet high, the fore and aft sections were decked.

    The boat was 26.5 feet long, 7.5 wide and 4.5 feet high, the fore and aft sections were decked. Jesus had gone to the back of the boat to catch a nap, and then a storm hits. “Why doesn’t he intervene?” “Do you not care that we are perishing?” E.g. Glen Scrivener says that a few years ago he ...read more

    Don’t Ever Forget This (Easter Sunday 2020)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 18, 2021
     | 1,717 views

    We have all had success and failures in life. Yet, without Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior none of it will matter. What will our legacy be? What was the legacy of the disciples and their witness? What will others say about our faith in Jesus Christ?

    DON’T EVER FORGET THIS Text: I Corinthians 15:1 -11 1 Corinthians 15:1-11  Now I would remind you, brothers and sisters, of the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which also you stand,  (2)  through which also you are being saved, if you hold ...read more

    I Thirst/It Is Finished - Palm Sunday 2022 Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 10, 2022
     | 3,822 views

    What if you spent thirty minutes in solitary thought about one of these seven statements? What if you spent thirty minutes in conversation about one or two of these seven statements? Do a wide sweep in your mind just now and see all those witnessing His crucifixion. Take it all in.

    Today is Palm Sunday, the day Jesus Christ enters into the city of Jerusalem to make this memorable last week before His crucifixion. This week means so much as it culminates in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The cross of Jesus means so much even all these years later. Mary George was martyred ...read more

    No Plan B (Second Sunday After Easter 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 20, 2022
     | 2,136 views

    Peter and John were arrested Acts 4:3 .... Acts 5:27 -32 represents their second arrest. “Minding their own business” involved sharing the Gospel. Matthew 28:19 was their call to go and make disciples! There was no Plan B.

    No Plan B Text: Acts 5:27 - 32 Acts 5:27-32  When they had brought them, they had them stand before the council. The high priest questioned them,  (28)  saying, "We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you ...read more
