    It’s so important that ordinary Catholics read Scripture as a devotional inquiry which the Catholic Catechism calls “the intimate sense of spiritual realities which believers experience.”

    A foolish old farmer, so the story goes, concluded one day that the oats he had fed his mule for years were simply costing him too much. So, he hatched a plan: He mixed a little sawdust in with the feed, and then a little more the next day, and even more the next, each time reducing the amount of ...read more

    Too often, we run from challenges. Yet the people we love to read about in the Bible are impressive because they battled challenges. If God sends you on stony paths, He will provide you with strong shoes.

    Opening illustration: A TV program on the History Channel featured the world’s most extreme airports. The one that caught my attention is no longer open, but it is one I had flown into. I agree that Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport was definitely a thrill ride for passengers and surely a challenge for ...read more

    Since God has not withheld anything good from us, not even His own Son - we are not to withhold from Him or one another.

    Mothers’ Day, 3rd March 05 ‘Since we lack nothing in Christ, how shall we live?’ Intro: I’m sure many of you will know the story of Victor Hugo’s epic tale LES MISERABLES.

    Discussion and teaching about ghosts and speaking to the dead.

    “I see dead people.” I bet that’s not a phrase you ever thought you’d hear from a pulpit. Is it? “I see dead people,” is a popular line from a psychological/horror movie called The Sixth Sense. In this 1999 movie a young boy, named Cole, is a clairvoyant who is able to communicate with people ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,575 views

    In this passage we see that Jesus is indeed Master over demons! There is the MISERY of the soul, the MASTERY of the Savior, the MYSTERY of salvation and the MINISTRY of serving.

    Mark 5:1-20 (Also found in MT 8:28-34; LK 8:26-37) Jesus: Master Over Demons! Then they came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gadarenes. And when He had come out of the boat, immediately there met Him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit, who had [his] dwelling among ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,101 views

    The concept of sin and the need for redemption are central themes in Christian theology. The Apostle Paul encapsulates the human condition in Romans 3:23 (NLT): "For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard." But what does this mean, and why is it significant?

    Why is it that the same Gospel both draws and repels people?

    Why the Blind See and the Seeing Are Blind (John 9:1-41) 1. There are many things in life that once bore us and then they later become enjoyable and fascinating. 2. Me and my music. 3. Art.

    Why Christians Do Not Continue In Sin (3 Of 3)

     | 1,824 views

    While justification has declared us righteous, and we have received a new nature, it did not eradicate our ability to sin.

    As Christians, we must be aware that we not only have been given the “new nature” from God, but that the old Adamic nature that we were born with, lies there ready to rise up at any time. HOW CAN WE LIVE A VICTORIOUS LIFE OVER SIN? As chapters 1-5 have taught us, we, who are saved by faith, now ...read more

    Why I Am No Longer An Evangelical

    The Evangelical movement has been slipping from its moorings for many years. I believe the departure from orthodoxy is now complete and it is time to separate ourselves from much that is proclaimed under the banner of “Evangelical Christianity.”

    Note carefully the indefinite article. This sermon will examine Evangelical the noun. I am not speaking about being evangelical. In that sense, the word evangelical is an adjective describing ones attitude toward sharing the gospel. I am not repudiating my Christian faith, but rather the ...read more

    Why in the world do we come to worship, when there are movies to watch, games to go to, and web pages to surf?

    In a television program I watch, there is an episode in which the minister stood up before the congregation. It was a vast sanctuary -- but it was almost empty. The minister looked out upon all of the empty seats and surveyed the 4 lonely people in the congregation -- one young man, ...read more
