    If we keep our focus firmly on God and on bringing glory to him; we will see him move in power; we will tremble at his presence; and we will love his world with a heavy heart beat.

    Sermon by Heather Cetrangolo There are moments in life that make us quake. There are moments that make us tremble on the inside … and sometimes we tremble on the outside. We tremble when we’re nervous, when we’re afraid, when we’re overwhelmed by emotion, and sometimes when ...read more

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 23, 2022
     | 2,384 views

    This morning let us strive to look at this story from a different angle as we give weight to the bitterness and indifference of the elder brother. Today we will focus on the hungry heart and the alienated heart.

    ECLIPSE OF THE HEART Text: Luke 15:1 - 3, 11-32 Luke 15: 1 -3, 11- 32  Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him.  (2)  And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, "This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them." ...read more

    Don't Settle

    Contributed by Jeff Poor on Jun 10, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,763 views

    The problem with this crowd is that they are seeking Jesus for the wrong reasons. They’re ready to settle for barley loaves and sardines when Jesus came to give them eternal life. Throughout this narrative, the clear lesson is, “Look beyond the flesh.”

    INTRO Good Morning… Blah blah blah… Stuff around loving John… Reading Keller, go through it a few times a year… And it always gets better… I love looking at the interactions Jesus has with the people in John… What I love is that Jesus gives people what they need, not always what they are ...read more

     | 15,905 views

    From the Sermon on the Mount series, it deals with the 4th beatitude. It takes a look at all the wrong places people look to find satisfaction, along with the secret of satisfaction that comes out of God's word. A satisfied life is a life lived for Christ

    The Sermon on the Mount “Living A Satisfied Life” Matthew 5:6 Watching commercials gives some insight into how Jesus taught lessons in His day. Advertisers pay millions of dollars to put their slogans and images before us, because they know it works. They know that if they can get ...read more

    Divine opportunities pass us by when we are not watchful, when we are not alert. Wrong decisions are taken when we are not watchful, when we are not discerning. The church strays from her mission and God ordained purpose when we are not watchful.

    Introduction During Jesus’ last days on earth something worthy of attention happened at the Garden of Gethsemane. Matthew 26:36 tells us that Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane. Then He told them to sit down at a particular spot while He goes to pray. Jesus then ...read more

    Abortion is the most widely debated issue of our time. The focus of this message is to cause individuals to think through their position. (Originally preached 1/1999; updated 1/2003)

    The Abortion Controversy Exodus 20:13 and Exodus 21:22-25 (Topical) Abortion is the number one killer in the United States: Here are some statistics from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services: Murder by firearms: 17,000 Suicide: 32,000 Auto Accidents: 42,000 AIDS: 42,000 Other ...read more

     | 3,706 views

    This sermon has a strong focus on "little-c catholic Christians," focusing their attention on the words of a Canaanitish woman which found their way into Western Christianity’s eucharistic liturgy.

    Second Sunday in Lent Matthew 15:21-28 If one were to pick episodes out of the Gospels in order to introduce Jesus to someone who does not know him, I’ll bet that the gospel lesson appointed for today is exactly the one they would never pick. There is, of course, much in the Bible that would ...read more

    In the previous chapter Paul’s focus of attention has been on earthly, physical experiences in the gospel. In order to avoid exalting himself he describes these experiences in the third person.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: To seek to earn, merit, or purchase salvation is to insult the Giver. Imagine yourself invited to a banquet in the White House by the president of the United States.
