    The story of the woman caught in adultery and the Gospel of Grace

As the NIV tells us “The earliest and most reliable manuscripts and other ancient ...read more

    Best of all, when all of us are dead and forgotten, the Church will continue to speak the truth, in season and out.

    Homily for Monday of 5th Week in Course Mk 6:53-56 Some time ago the local newspaper ran a story about a Catholic layman who has a healing ministry. The word “miracle” is something like a fighting word in our age of skepticism. We have been trained in science class from our earliest years to ...read more

    Render To Caesar What Is Caesar's

    based on 4 ratings
     | 16,073 views

    Seemingly a Catch 22 position, yet Jesus wonderfully side steps the controversary. By using the Gk word "apodote" Jesus challenges us even today: "The coin bore Caesar's image: give it back to him. You bear God's image: so give yourself back to Him."

    Sermon: Render to Caesar what is Caesars’s Story: A man came to an Anglican Church and asked to see the Vicar. “Vicar,” he said, “My dog died and I would like a Christian burial for him.” The Vicar said, “I’m sorry to hear about your dog, but we ...read more

    The idea of the sermon is the see the contrast between our tendencies to be self-serving or self-promoting versus having the humble spirit that promotes God. The Pharisee and Tax Collector in the parable of Luke 18.9-14 are the examples we will consider.

    To "Get Real!" and be genuine in our world, we must live in the state (condition) of showing our faith, not hiding it. We are challenged to see the unseen; live with certainty, and put our faith into practice.

    The Importance Of Authority

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,196 views

    If we recognise Jesus's authority as divine, then we are forced to listen to Him and allow him to impact our lives. If Jesus is the Word of God and the Scriptures are also the Word of God, then we need allow Scripture to impact our lives too.

    Authority. Our passage this morning is all about authority. We live in a society in which authority is very important but which is being challenged. We see anarchy is around us too. Even law enforcers like the police need authority to enter your house. Otherwise any evidence found without the ...read more

    Jesus did not answer yes or no to the question of paying taxes to Caesar!

    In preparation for the passage today, let us remind ourselves of the life of Jesus Christ on earth…… First of all, let us not forget that God through the Old Testament Prophets described the way Jesus Christ would come to earth and how His life would be like.

    Anytime you find yourself choosing between two evils, step back and asses the situation – Is the question before you in reality a moral dilemma, or is it just something you do not want to do? God promises us that He will not place us in such situations.

    A man and woman find themselves standing at the pearly gates. Saint Peter, to his surprise, finds the couple very disappointed to be getting into heaven.
