    What can we learn from the fishing expedition?

    Jn 21:1-19 Introduction As I mentioned on Easter Sunday, John records only four of the Post Resurrection appearances of Jesus.

    It is clear from our Jewish roots and the early church that Pentecost is about a new spiritual experience. It is about a promise and it is about how we are changed when we receive this promise of the Holy Spirit. It is also about a harvest.

This movement by the Holy Spirit is a promise fulfilled by Jesus and a promise fulfilled by prophecy as St. Peter tells us from Joel Chapter 2 . Jesus ...read more

    A sermon that is asking the simple question about what kind of life you are living. It then asks questions and uses scripture to back up a Christian life.

    What kind of life are you living? Most would answer “a good one”. So what does that mean, a good life? Does it mean that you have a good family, job? You do good things for man kind, keep out of trouble, and only commit the little sins in life. A more important question, where are you going to ...read more
