    Thirtieth Sunday In Ordinary Time - Year C. In Defense Of The Pharisee And Tax Collector

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 25, 2025
     | 155 views

    Jesus indicates that the Pharisee's virtue was destroyed by pride, but he certainly was objectively living a good moral life.

    Let’s see what the Pharisee did right, and the tax collector— The Pharisee prayed- 'O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity --greedy, dishonest, adulterous -- or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income.' Jesus indicates ...read more

    We know that God is able to heal, but sometimes we aren’t healed. This message looks at one possible reason why, as we examine an illness that the apostle Paul wrestled with for most of his Christian life - his "thorn in the flesh."

    This evening we are going to look at a passage of Scripture that is related to the subject matter of healing. In the Scripture we discover that our God is a God of healing. He says in Exodus 15:26, “I am the Lord who heals you.” We also read that Jesus Christ, God’s Son, heals us as well, for ...read more

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN, BROWNSVILLE, TX A. I am going to read two verses which are probably among the most questioned & misunderstood scriptures in the Bible. We love John 3:16, the 23rd Psalm, & others, but these two verses really bother many people. Listen ...read more

    Moses lost the chance to enter into the promised land because he was disobedient to God. That disobedience was caused by anger, pride, and lack of faith.

    Water from the Rock After Moses had led the people out of Egypt, he had sent twelve spies into the promised land to see what lay before them. Because of the report brought back by ten of those spies, the people lose their faith in the Lord and fail to take the land. In chapter 14 of Numbers, the ...read more
