    Contributed by Ralph Andrus on Sep 2, 2012
     | 2,296 views

    If we hear the word sin, we think of sins plural. We think of our lists. What is on the sin list? Which list? Whose list?

    Life-Changing Lessons: Rejection At Nazareth

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 7, 2019
     | 8,153 views

    “When God closes a door, he opens a window, but it's up to you to find it. In the meantime, you can praise Him in the hallway.”

    If you never get a no, then you aren’t taking enough chances. But the same areas of the brain become activated when we experience rejection as when we experience physical pain. This is why rejection hurts so much (neurologically speaking). Patience under disappointment is one of the great ...read more

    What Is The Significance Of The Fortune In The Field And The Goodly Pearl?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Apr 6, 2024
     | 125 views

    Have we counted the cost of servanthood? What are we willing to give for the fortune that God has provided for us?

    Jesus oftentimes instructed by using parables or illustrations. Stories, even short ones like these, are a strong method for conveying a major thought or to answer an unavoidable issue. Language or specialized terms probably will not let a thought hit home for a great many people. Associating the ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 2,761 views

    A genuis is someone who shoots at a target no one else sees and hits it. It doesn’t take a genuis to agree that Kingdom Values are in our best interest as a child of God. Let’s see why!

    Introduction Recently, with everything happening in our world, it makes us step back and take a theraputic deep breath and we are almost forced to ask ourselves, "What’s the most imporant thing in my life." i.e. "Who is it that’s the most valuable to me." Let’s make a list: Family, finances, ...read more

    This homily is to demonstrate that by His actions on Holy Thursday at the Last Supper, he shows the intimate connection of personal service and love in the community to divine worship at the Euchrist.

    The Parable of the two debtors (Luke 7:36-50) Now one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, so he went to the Pharisee's house and reclined at the table. {37} When a woman who had lived a sinful life in that town learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee's house, she brought ...read more

     | 15,695 views

    This is a sermon on Romans 1:17 showing how we are justified by faith apart from our works.

    Let’s go on a journey back in time almost 500 years ago. Germany, a dimly lit room, a young Augistianian monk studies. He struggled with guilt, he did pilgrimages, penance, masses, prayer – if a monk could be saved by his monkery it was him. After long hours of study the truth of Scripture ...read more

    Seventh Sunday In Ordinary Time- The Opening Up Of A Relational Space By Forgiveness.

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 11, 2022
     | 853 views

    Forgiveness is a conditional gift offered that opens a relational space that expects a reciprocal response.

    There used to be a sign in the Princeton University Book Store basement which said: "Love your enemies—it will drive them crazy." Clever but love of enemies and forgiving, commanded by Jesus in our Gospel this Sunday, is not hoping that the other person will change or trying to be ...read more

    What is our call to? What does the call of some early disciples teach us about our call from God? We will learn that our call is first and foremost to a change of heart, to believe. We will look at the call of Simon, Andrew, James and John in Mark 1:14-20.

    If You Were Accused Of Being A Christian, Would There Be Enough Evidence To Convict You?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Mar 28, 2024
     | 163 views

    Imagine if you will a court room. God is the judge. Satan is the prosecuting attorney, and he is telling the court everything that we have done wrong. Jesus is the defense attorney.

    At the time when the Jewish remnant returned to Israel to rebuild the walls, Joshua was the High Priest (Haggai 1:1, 2:4). In verses one - four: Satan “resisted” (accused) Joshua, who depicts the country of Israel here. The allegations were exact, Joshua remained in “filthy garments” (sins). In ...read more
