    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 21, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,726 views

    In our worship, we are all equal in dignity, but, as Jesus gave different ministries to his disciples, in and out of worship, we differ in function and service; that is the meaning of hierarchy.

    Solemnity of Peter and Paul June 29, 2009 The readings for this solemnity help us to understand how it is that Christ left us–as a gift–a hierarchical Church. I was reading some fairly recent articles in Pastoral Music recently, and came across a rather angry one from a nun who was complaining ...read more

    A walk is a slow, steady, consistent movement from one place to another. A walk moves you from where you’ve been to where you’re going. At the end of Peter’s life, he looked back on his walk. As he looked back, what did he remember? What sustained him

    http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com/ All throughout the New Testament, the Christian life is compared to walking.

    A message focusing on Judas’ betrayal and the need for repentance. Since Jesus knows the secrets of our hearts, He could blast us. Instead, He uses the weapon of love.

    Sermon Notes “Jesus’ Weapon of Choice” Matthew 26:20-25 Introduction: There are some biblical names we just do not give to our kids. Others are quite common.

  • Judas … The Fallen Disciple Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Dec 22, 2005
    based on 35 ratings
     | 17,382 views

    Judas was given all the privileges of being a disciple, yet he still did not understand the need to totally submit to Jesus. As modern disciples we need to be sure that our heart has been captured by the Lord.

    Judas … the fallen disciple Does anyone here know a person called Judas? It doesn’t have to be a friend or relative ... just anyone. Someone you have met? I doubt we would have. In fact to test my theory I used the internet to look up the popularity of this name. This is the response of one ...read more
