     | 5,638 views

    The wonderful things God reveals to us when we are totally focused on Him in centering prayer.

    READ PASSAGE. When I first read this passage, I saw examples of centered prayer and how God can speak to you and will speak to you if we will only center on Him and listen to what He has to say.

  • Thirty-Second Sunday In Ordinary Time, C--The Sadducees

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 12, 2022
     | 919 views

    I believe the question I would have asked the Sadducees would be, “Was this woman taking out life insurance policies on all these husbands?”

    One of my seminary professors said that it’s easy to remember who the Sadducees were because since they denied that there is a resurrection, they were “so sad you see.” The Sadducees were the ancient version of modern liberal theologians. They were anti-supernaturalistic. They only accepted the ...read more

    Just like the Sadducees, we can selectively read scripture and so make false and disastrous assumptions about Christ and his call (Luke 20:27-40)

    One of the curious things about religious people is that they can develop very fixed ideas about what is right and what is wrong. Sometimes these are bolstered by appeals to their religious texts, sometimes it is based on experience, or a sort of philosophical position. Jesus interaction with the ...read more

     | 6,956 views

    God desires a relationship with us, so first we have to make space for God. The second step is to connect to God. But the problem is we aren’t connected to God or even other people. And if we are, it’s infrequent and usually casual or shallow. That leads

    Plugging Into God John 15:5-8 In this sermon series, we’re asking you to look at yourself through a new lens, as that of an apprentice of Jesus. An apprentice is someone who is bound to another for a certain amount of time to learn an art or trade in which the master is an expert. To be a ...read more

    What is Biblical meditation and how is it beneficial for Christians?

    Psa 119:97 m Mem. O how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day. Most Christians have listened again and again to admonitions that they read the Bible for themselves. Yet according to statistics, less than 1/5 of American believers read scripture daily. If spending time in God’s Word is ...read more

    Transfiguration: Jesus needed this hour. We need this hour.

    Jesus needed this hour. We need this hour. In the valley below waited the sick; down below were the ceaseless problems; still farther on awaited the cross.

     | 5,683 views

    The past perfect used in this way is known as “tenses of vision” or the “prophetic perfect.” Isaiah is assuring us that the message being proclaimed will surely come to pass.

    A customer called the customer service line to complain about a power outage after a big storm, then stopped raging long enough to ask, “How will I know when my lights are back on?” The customer service agent remained silent for a second, debating about the best way to answer such an obvious, even ...read more

  • Pentecost: Lightning Breath

    When God breathes.

    At Pentecost, the room shook and wind blew and the whole room crackled with the Holy Spirit’s electric presence.

    Prayer, fasting and tithing are little gifts we give so that God's power can fill up our weakness.

    First Sunday in Lent 2015 “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel.” These words of Jesus, recorded by St. Mark for the Church at Rome, conclude the shortest of the accounts of Christ’s forty day retreat in the wilderness near ...read more
