     | 8,277 views

    This text encourages believers to give their best in Christian service.

    9For we are God’s servants, working together; you are God’s field, God’s building. 10According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building on it. Each builder must choose with care how to build on it. 11For no ...read more

    How can we invest our Treasures in Heaven?

    You Can Take it With You The Time was over one hundred years ago, at the very beginning of the great Klondike Gold Rush. Two prospectors, among the very first to travel north, in 1896, came to the Yukon Territory of Canada to hunt for their gold. They knew the risks were high as there were no ...read more

    A sermon for harvest about the harvest that really matters

    It’s been a good harvest. This year a world record for the wheat harvest has been established. The last time it happened was 5 years ago when a New Zealander managed to harvest 15.7 tons of wheat per hectare. This July, Tim Lamymans in Lincolnshire managed to beat that with 16.5 tons per ...read more

    What kind of adhesive are using in the building blocks of your spiritual life? Don't look for the easiest way out. Be careful of inferior products that give a quick job, but will not hold up in the long run.

    Just Gummy Mud Ezekiel 13:10-16 10 ¶ Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with untempered morter: 11 Say unto them which daub it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an ...read more

    What Does "morality" Even Mean?

    Contributed by Ian Hyde on Nov 24, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,211 views

    How do we define morality in an increasingly relativistic, materialistic world? When we realize our inherent blind spots, we find that morality must be rooted in something outside of ourselves, and only the example of the incarnate Christ is firm foundation enough for discerning right from wrong.

    A CLASH OF WORLDVIEWS In our passage this morning, Paul is speaking to the faithful in the church at the Greek colony of Colossae, now in modern day Turkey. Many of these believers came from a pagan background. They didn’t grow up with the benefit of stories about God’s providence or saving work ...read more

     | 4,808 views

    Jesus calls us to lower the nets for a catch, even though it means persecution and rejection. We must learn the four steps of evangelization of our surroundings, friends and coworkers.

    Third Sunday of Easter 2013 Vatican II About forty years ago, acting on the directions of the Fathers of the Council, a team of expert Scripture scholars and liturgists gave the Church what is called the “expanded Lectionary” for Mass.

    id we not read in the Bible that the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour? (1 Peter 5:8) Get ready to read the next attack that the enemy plans on Abraham.

    Sodom deal! – Abraham – Part 4 Genesis 4:17”And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.” Did we not read in the Bible that the ...read more

    You can own stuff or stuff can own you.

    Do you own your house or does your house own you? We tend to love the American dream and that usually translates as having bigger and more expensive stuff with swapping it often. That stuff can own us. If you were to be unemployed tomorrow due to layoff or illness how long would you last before ...read more

    This commandment teaches us that keeping our hands off our neighbor’s things is as important as keeping our hands off our neighbor’s neck.

    One of my favorite movies ever is a little gem called “The Gods Must Be Crazy.” It starts out with an idyllic look at society among the stone age tribesmen of the Kalahari desert. They have absolutely no possessions. Not one. Not even so much as a loin cloth. They spend most of their time hunting ...read more

    Church Buildings?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 9, 2022
     | 1,961 views

    What lessons beside who is my neighbor can be found in the Woman at the Well narrative? Actually, quite a bit. This lesson is that Jesus was not in favor of a centralized building for worship. This restricted the LORD who was spirit and existed everywhere.

    Church Buildings? John 4:7-42 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz New American Standard 1995 John 4:7 There *came a woman of Samaria to draw water.

    Feeling unhappy and empty inside? Trying to find ways to fill those empty voids? Material possessions and wealth brings only temporary happiness. God, though, will fill your emptiness with eternal joy, love, and pleasure.

    Please open your Bibles to Ecclesiastes Chapter 2 and lets all read together: The Emptiness of Pleasure 1 I said to myself, “Go ahead, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy what is good.” But it turned out to be futile. 2 I said about laughter, “It is madness,” and about pleasure, “What does ...read more

    Do not let discontentment rob you of enjoying and being grateful for what you have.

    After WWII, the economy exploded as the technology for war could create fantastic items for peace.

    Man thinks of worldly riches but God thinks of heavenly riches.

    Then one from the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me” (v. 13).
