    The Neighbourly Kindness Of The Hated Samaritan

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 6, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,544 views

    Jesus sees us in our plight, naked and left for dead by the ravishes of sin in our lives. He picks us up, binds us, anoints us, and takes us to a place of safety.

    THE NEIGHBOURLY KINDNESS OF THE HATED SAMARITAN. Luke 10:25-37. This well-known parable is best understood within the framework of the question-and-answer narrative between “a certain lawyer” (an expert in the Scripture), and Jesus (Luke 10:25). The motives of the would-be student may well be ...read more

    Evangelizing The Cities Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 28, 2015
     | 3,699 views

    Just as post-Resurrection Judaism created a culture that rejected the Gospel, so modern society tries to make people incapable of receiving Christ. But we must bear witness, especially in the cities.

    Thursday of the Second Week in Lent Joy of the Gospel Last Sunday we heard Jesus tell his key disciples not to disclose their vision of Him transfigured until He would rise from the dead. There was a good reason for that. The Jewish mindset, which had been formed by prophets like Jeremiah, ...read more

    Sheep, Wolves, Sheepdogs

    We are not called to apply the superficial wisdom of American culture to reshape our Catholic identity. We are called to alert Americans to the wisdom of Catholic culture that is given to us by Our Lord.

    Fourth Sunday of Easter 2018 The Good Shepherd In a popular movie from a few years back, the main character, a gung-ho SEAL from Odessa, tells his listeners that there are three kinds of people: wolves, sheep, and sheepdogs. The wolves prey on the sheep, the sheep cower in fear, and the sheepdogs ...read more

    This is part one of a series of messages in the Gospel of John.

    INTRODUCTION: John’s gospel is different from the others. There is no genealogy, no manger scene, no boyhood, no temptation, no Mount of transfiguration, and no Gethsemane. There are only a few special miracles chosen by John as “signs.” We have the famous “I AM” sayings of Jesus and many ...read more

    It is a mark of true leadership to be able to take advice from those whom we lead.

    THE DRAWING OF NAAMAN THE OUTSIDER. 2 Kings 5:1-14. ‘While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us’ (Romans 5:8). Those who were ‘far off are made nigh by the blood of Jesus’ (Ephesians 2:13). Holistic healing comes to those who are outside (Luke 4:27). Naaman, as commander of the Syrian army, ...read more

    A homily regarding the miraculous healing of the Paralytic by Christ. Given on the Fourth Sunday of Paschal (Sunday of the Paralytic) at the Monastery of the Glorious Ascension.

    Dear brothers and sisters, today's Gospel reading in chapter five of the testimony of St. John tells us a wonderful story about love and forgiveness and profound healing. It is not a mushy type of story. It is not one that everyone will understand either. It is the story of a humble man who has ...read more

    Inclusion Is What We Need, Not Power Hungry People

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 11, 2021
     | 1,696 views

    Jesus rebuked His disciples because they wanted to keep the power of healing for themselves. This is happening in church today even though Jesus said it is wrong!

    I think that it is sad that when I read this narrative, it made me think about the control the church has held over people for almost 2000 years. The church used only one verse, thus out of context, to control people. Catholics could not own a Bible until 1964 CE. The idea that a person has to ...read more

    Do You Want Earthly Or Heavenly Treasures?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Sep 21, 2021
     | 2,058 views

    Did Jesus say that we receive Earthly treasures by following Him? The answer is no. We do receive treasures in Heaven. You will want to look at my Hebraic Analysis of Mark 10:28-31 to see why the Greek and English translation of verse 30 may not be exactly what Jesus said.

    Do you want Earthly or Heavenly Treasures? Mark 10:28-31 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 28 Peter began to say to Him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed You." 29 Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father ...read more

    Gossip the gospel.

    BUSY WAITING. 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10. 1 Thessalonians 1:1 - “The church of the Thessalonians” came into being as a result of Paul’s second missionary journey.

    Some For A Reason, Some For A Season, And Some For A Lifetime

    Contributed by Anthony Sosa on Jan 14, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,108 views

    Have you ever wondered why God places certain people in your life or calls you to a specific task? Some callings are meant to fulfill a specific purpose, others to last only for a season, and a few are designed to span a lifetime—all serving God’s greater plan for His kingdom.

    Some for a REASON, some for a SEASON, and some for a LIFETIME The concept that “God calls some into a specific ministry for a reason, some for a season, and some for a lifetime” reflects the biblical understanding of the variety, purpose, and timing of God’s callings. Throughout Scripture, we see ...read more

    Trouble At Philippi.

     | 1,670 views

    Diabolical opposition to the gospel.

    TROUBLE AT PHILIPPI. Acts 16:16-34. One of the hazards of church planting is a problem of space: where and when to gather for worship. Of course, small groups can meet in our homes: but the very beginning of gospel work might, in suitable climates, take place outdoors (cf. Acts 16:13). But ...read more

    Even the devils believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and tremble.

    A LEGION CAST OUT. Mark 5:1-20. The account of the man with the Legion of devils is a dramatic demonstration of the kind of spiritual warfare which is going on for the bodies, minds, and souls of mankind. We notice, first of all, that it is Jesus who initiated this particular ...read more
