    Don’t Oppress The Poor.

    Contributed by Bola Folakemi Praise on May 18, 2020
     | 3,024 views

    God does not delight in the rich oppressing the poor or the less privileged.

    “The Lord God says to you, My flock: I am going to judge between one sheep and another, between the rams and male goats. Isn’t it enough for you to feed on the good pasture? Must you also trample the rest of the pasture with your feet? Or isn’t it enough that you drink the clear water? Must you ...read more

     | 1,616 views

    Tithing and charity are cornerstones of our faith…but are we helping the right people?

    Money and Tithing (Roughly 30 mins) Outline Challenge: we ask people to give money to the church arbitrarily Solution: consider the tithe a payment for good works Projection: if we are doing the work and reporting honestly, we will be supported. “Give money to the church”…why? What work ...read more

    The brief account of the widow’s oil illustrates God’s blessing of those who are faithful to His word. God provides a means of income for the widow and her family, using things she has on hand, along with the charity of people around them.

    God Provides in Difficult Times A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.” So Elisha said to her, “What ...read more

    A true friend might try to tell me the truth, but I reject his words or her suggestions. Our friend is acting prophetically toward us. That is an act of love, real love.

    Fourteenth Sunday in Course 2024 “Heed or resist, you rebels, you will know a prophet has been among you!” Today’s words from Ezekiel were not just for the Jewish leaders who had abandoned true worship of the One God, the Lord, for the obscene worship ceremonies centered around Baal and Astarte. ...read more

    The Problem With Expanding The Definition Of Marriage Series

    based on 6 ratings
     | 3,972 views

    When you add to the definition of marriage you don’t end up with marriage at all, but something altogether difference (even if you didn’t mean to).

    H2 O Marriage Pastor Dan Little Adfontes.djl@gmail.com 07-31-11 As you know, our New York lawmakers passed legislation on June 24th by which they expanded (as they put it) the definition of marriage to include same-sex marriage. This legislation became law on Saturday July 23rd, 2011, and ...read more

    Let Justice Run Down

     | 5,602 views

    In Amos' time, justice and righteousness no longer prevailed in Israel; but rather, it had become wormwood. Wormwood is toxic, so Israel was dealing with a toxic justice system - but God was going to bring justice!

    In Amos 5:24, we read, “Let justice run down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream!” This is a verse that probably resonates with us all. We all desire justice! I read some Christian articles that predicted the year 2020 to be “the year of justice,” but I doubt anyone who made these ...read more

    In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, in all things charity.

    At first glance, you might wonder just what all this writing about eating has to do with your Christian faith. After all, the text was penned with Jewish and Gentile Christians in mind and specifically written for the church at Rome. The Jewish converts had a problem with the rigid Jewish laws.

    The Prophet Series

     | 5,852 views

    There are prophets in every age speaking for God. In our age Pope Benedict has called us to look at Charity in Truth, and consider our responsibilities to the world economically.

    Fifteenth Sunday in Course The Prophet July 12, 2009 All over the temperate zone, fruit from the varieties of fig and sycamore are ripening now, and so the Church gives us a reading from the migrant worker, Amos, the reluctant prophet.

    Caritas In Veritate Series

     | 3,350 views

    The Pope’s new encyclical fits well with the Exodus account of a people oppressed and needing growth and development, but enslaved by a culture of death.

    Caritas in Veritate Monday of 15th week in Course July 13, 2009 It is providential, perhaps, that we have in today’s readings all the elements for talking about the role of faith in society. Here we have an oppressed people, enslaved by an unjust system, whose children are being systematically ...read more

    Have you allowed anything to hinder you from loving the Lord Jesus as you ought? Are you allowing family and relatives to come between you and the Lord? Has your selfish love for yourself hindered you from loving the Lord as you ought? Is your love for li

    Intro: Many today think of the Hollywood-type “Jesus” as a very soft, sissified man who always allows any and all to run over Him! The lost sees Jesus as the type of man that just accepts what people give Him because He has to. This, however, is NEVER the Jesus of the Bible! The Jesus of the ...read more

    Paul tell the church at Corinth that love is the way.

    A More Excellent Way 1Corinthians 13:4/8 In chapter thirteen the Apostle Paul writes about the more excellent way, or what he had in view, in the close of the former chapter, namely, charity, or, as it is commonly rendered love.

    Quinquagesima: O Say, Can You See?

    Contributed by Dan Funk on Feb 27, 2015
     | 5,799 views

    On Quinquagesima, 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 teaches us about FAITH, HOPE, and LOVE, and why LOVE is the greatest of these. Luke 18:31-43 teaches us about SALVATION and RESTORATION of SIGHT. How are these truths connected? How do we apply them in our lives?

    In the Epistle (1 Corinthians 13:1-13) selected for Quinquagesima Sunday, or as I call it, Sight Sunday, S. Paul gives us a teaching on FAITH, HOPE, and CHARITY (or, as some translate it, LOVE, meaning Christ-like love) – not only on what they mean, but also on how they relate to each other. ...read more

    Broadly addressing the relationship of the pastor with several groups within the congregation, Paul instructs Timothy in the conduct of his life.

    “Do not rebuke an older man but encourage him as you would a father, younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, in all purity. “Honor widows who are truly widows. But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show godliness to ...read more
