Becoming A More Spiritual Person Series

Contributed by Timothy Peck on Nov 19, 2001

Two warnings and two positive prescriptions to becoming more spiritual.

Sixty years ago social scientists were predicting the demise of religion in western culture.

The Response Of The People Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 22, 2017

God Of All Creation

Contributed by Roberta Karchner on Jun 4, 2020

In this world torn by pandemic, tragedy, and violence, we turn back to the beginning, to what God created us to be. Order out of disorder, light out of darkness, all of us made in God's image

Looking back over the last few weeks, perhaps the best word we can use is chaos. We have seen chaos as a disease struck our nation. We have seen chaos as hospitals have been overwhelmed and more than 100,000 have died. We have seen chaos as businesses closed and people lost their jobs. We have ...read more

Seeing With Our Eyes; Touching With Our Hands Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 23, 2010

John's sacramental vision was translated into a church building with two centers--a center of the Word and a center of Eucharistic celebration

Feast of St. John Dec 27 2010 Spirit of the Liturgy It is very appropriate to be preaching on the Spirit of the Liturgy on the Feast of St. John, because both the letters and the Gospel of John are so sacramental. One useful definition of sacrament is Christ touching us through sacred signs. Our ...read more

Who's Using You?

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 13, 2011

How do respond when someone hurts you? Is it with veiled hatred and open contempt? The Apostle Paul had to deal with just such a situation and how he handled it can help us to deal with pain in a godly way.

Sometimes the right thing to do is confront bad behavior or attitudes. As a leader there have been times when I have had to call someone on the carpet. It’s never easy and too often that person does not receive the exhortation or even rebuke well. As a leader, my job is to protect and nurture ...read more

Present And Prevent: In View Of The Lord’s Mercies

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jul 19, 2023

Romans 12 has two important commands for each and every believer. Paul gave two of them in the first two verses.

Introduction: Paul’s letter to the Romans is a classic piece of Scripture. Alva J, McClain and perhaps others noted how Paul made four basic divisions: condemnation, salvation, vindication, and exhortation. Chapter 12 begins the final section and indeed begins with a word of exhortation to these ...read more

Our Anchor Of Hope

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 15, 2022

Because of Jesus, we are able to go behind the veil to experience the grace of the Father. Jesus is our High Priest who goes before us, pulling us ahead like an anchor on a motor launch into the safety of the bay of heaven.

Today’s message is entitled “Our Anchor of Hope,” and I would like to open with an illustration. A naval officer from World War II once described how the battleships he was on survived terrible hurricanes in Chesapeake Bay. When storms or turbulent seas threatened a ship that was docked in ...read more

Advent 2015 - Week 4 - The God-Man

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Dec 24, 2015

Who was it exactly that was placed into the manger that first Christmas morning? Was it God but less than God or fully God? Was He fully human or only veiled in flesh? Like the Trinity the Incarnation boggles the limited human mind. Glory to God!
