    based on 241 ratings
     | 6,237 views

    Only personal, significant contact with our risen Lord brings about true faith and obedience. All else is only ritual, and religious rhetoric. We MUST see Jesus!

    This sermon exhorts us to put our full trust in God. Too many times we rely on our own understanding, instead of trusting in the omniscient God.

    In God We Must Trust Proverbs 3:5, "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." When I think of this subject, I cannot help but think of the parental nature of our Lord. Courtney has always been the type of child that likes to do everything on her own. ...read more

    This story teaches that spiritual mantles must not be lost in transition. If we don’t raise people hungry for the fire, the work of God in one generation may fade in the next.

    we must discern as families how to respond to the attacks of secular culture, and use our assets, out time, talent and treasure, to restore beauty to our worship, teach religious and moral truths to our communities, and do everything we can to show goodness to the world–to become saints.

    Epiphany 2018 The Cost of Discipleship When we compare the stories we have been reading in St. Luke’s Gospel with the reading today from St. Matthew, we are tempted to wonder if this is a story about two different families.

    God first, then must come others.

    Last week, we talked about that as we respond to God’s call to go and change the world that we need to have a relationship with God as our first priority in whatever we do.

    Forgiveness Must Have A Face

    Contributed by Rev Ken Shedenhelm on Sep 22, 2013
     | 4,652 views

    There's nothing more important to a Christian than forgiveness. It is the basis of our salvation, and we can't love one another as He loved us without forgiving one another. Therefore, we need to understand what forgiveness is and what it is not.

    "When I was a kid, I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way... so I stole a bicycle... and asked him to forgive me." Well, there are 100s of jokes about forgiveness- the one I read is by Emo Phillips- and there are legions of people who ...read more
