Jesus is coming back for the second and final time. The Scriptures all point to that as The Day. What are we called to do in the meantime? What’s really worth it? This is a sermon that examines that and in so doing lays down an important teaching on the power of the Church. We need to be a part of it. Here’s why.
Judgment is a good thing! A really good thing. We should look forward to it. You know why? Listen in.
Sometimes you just need to go back to what it’s all about. It’s about Pontifex Maximus. You’ll see why. Listen in.
The widow has a powerful message for us on the what and the why of giving. You just can’t dismiss what she has to say, but why does Jesus give us that message? It’s important that we not just identify with the widow. It’s also important that we see Jesus identify with the widow. This is power for real giving. Listen in!
Wealth has incredible, godlike characteristics. We use it to do amazing things like reduce our fear; control our future; and even control other people. It can be such a force of good in our lives. This teaching from Jesus is a call to turn away from that good and, more than that, find true power from Jesus to do that. Listen in!
This little section of James is a true anomaly in his little letter. The rest of James is the epitome of a practical look at wise, Christian living. This tiny, little section is the polar opposite. There is not a single practical thing that he actually says here about wealth. Not one. What do we do with it? This sermon is a take on that. Listen in!
