Homily from Pentecost Sunday I do not want what Jesus has done in me to stop with me. Jesus has accomplished the Father's will in offering Himself on the Cross. He has further sent the Holy Spirit for the salvation of the world. God has done something incredible in the life of each Christian. And He sends us out into the world so that what He has done in us continues to be done in those close to us. Mass Readings from May 28, 2023:Acts 2:1-11Psalm 104:1, 24, 29-30, 31, 341 Corinthians 12:3b-7, 12-13 John 20:19-23

From the series "Various Teachings." Acts 9v31. Listen to a special gathering with Tyler Staton & Pete Hughes of KXC to learn about the Bridgetown Story, what the Spirit is doing at Bridgetown, and how each of us can find ourselves in the story of what God is doing.

Phil's truck bears the evidence of his dodgy lumberjack techniques, and he's lucky to still be here! Jase just got back from an unexpectedly sweaty, uncomfortable trip with Jep and his new hybrid truck. Poor Jep came home with his tail between his legs! The guys go over several more demon possession stories from Luke and the rest of the Bible and discuss whether perhaps Jesus' life and death changed something about the supernatural world. Phil wonders why disease and misery are still so widespread if so many people believe science holds all the answers.

Today, Ralph discusses Acts 17:30-31: "The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all men everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and of this he has given assurance to all men by raising him from the dead."

If you appreciate this work, consider supporting it - https://www.patreon.com/seekgodtogether Today we will read Acts 2:4 which says, “Then they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in different languages as the Spirit gave them ability for speech.” This is strange. But it's scripture. We must receive it. The Spirit comes and fills believers. They are now partners with and animated by God. They speak in languages they did not learn - a reversal of the curse at the Tower of Babel. Humans are coming back together in the Spirit. It's actually a fulfillment of an Old Testament prophecy from Joel 2:28-32. Strangely enough, these days are referred to as, “The Last Days”. Can it be that whatever the last days are, we have been in them for 2000 years? A time in which the Holy Spirit is bringing us back together in Christ? Yes I think so. And He does this at least initially through the phenomena of “speaking in tongues.” God does strange things and works in strange ways. But His end game seems clear - to bring humanity back together in Him. So should we seek strange phenomena? I won't say no. I do. But perhaps what we should really seek is the filling of the Spirit - whatever that entails. Whatever strange phenomena God wants to perform in us…let's be open. However God wants to use us to bring those He loves back together…let's be open. “Holy Spirit fill me. Animate me to unite those You love in Jesus. Strange phenomena or not, I am open to You. Surprise me, thrill me with Your methods.”

We are considering Chapter 14 of the Confession which deals with the great and crucial subject of saving faith. Paragraph 2 speaks of the acts of saving faith, that is, its various responses to the Scriptures. This lengthy paragraph says three things about the responses of saving faith to Scripture.

Light Communing With Darkness Show NotesSummary: I receive many letters from listeners who are believers in Christ that have come to realize that the things they were involved in were not godly, but satanic. It's amazing how many New Age or overtly occult practices have infiltrated the church because sound doctrine is no longer being taught in churches. Today we will examine how to remove these things from our lives.This Episode brought to you by: Our Premium Subscribers or “Seekers” Charles D.Rachel C.Monique R.Jennifer Lynn R.Javier I.Scriptures:All Scripture references are from the King James Version of the Bible2 Corinthians 6:11-13, 2 Kings 17:6-33, Ephesians 5:1-15, 1 Corinthians 3:1-4, 1 Corinthians 14:26, 1 Corinthians 10:14-22, Revelation 3:14-19, Romans 11:16-22, 2 Corinthians 11:1-4, 2 Corinthians 11:13-15, 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22, 1 John 4:1-3, Matthew 24:24-25, Acts 19:18-20, 2 Timothy 2:15-22, Takeaway:Christ warned of false prophets, and they are currently leading the church astray.

Bible Study: (1:48) Acts 19:1-8 Father discusses prophecy and Baptism Letters (22:34) - Is it OK to steal?  (31:50) - I had a poor parish upbringing, what should I do?  Word of the Day: Mass (37:50) Callers (39:33) - The priest used to say that before funerals and weddings, if you're not Catholic, don't receive communion.  Why don't they do that anymore?

This week in our series through the book of Acts, our Lead Pastor, Miles Fidell, delivers a challenging word on the necessity for us as believers to shift our hearts and minds towards boldness, and to be firmly grounded in the Truth that is Christ Jesus.

Our first calling is to be a witness of what God's done. This Sunday, in the finale of our King series, lead Pastor Josh Kelsey preached from  Acts 1:8 on being witnesses. By faith, we receive what God has already accomplished. In anticipatory hope of what God's already done, we have the power to be a witness. From the overflow of his love, even in trials and struggles, we testify to the world.

Fr. Patrick preached this homily on May 21, 2023 at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church in Wadsworth, OH. The Sunday readings are from Acts 1:1-11, Ps 47:2-3, 6-7, 8-9, Eph 1:17-23 & Mt 28:16-20.

As we approach the rememberance of Pentost this Sunday, we will apply Lectio Divina to the story as if is recorded in Acts 2. Today we will meditate on verses one and two.

Friends of the Rosary: Today, on the Seventh Sunday of Easter, one week before Pentecost, we observe the Solemnity of the Ascension in many U.S. dioceses and many countries around the world. This feast commemorates the triumphant Ascension of Lord Jesus into heaven, according to Mark 16:19, Luke 24:51, and Acts 1:2. By ascending into His glory, Christ finished the work of our redemption. The Ascension is the completion of the Easter mysteries of Jesus' life, passion, death, and resurrection, and it is the final step before the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church states: “Jesus' final apparition ends with the irreversible entry of his humanity into divine glory, symbolized by the cloud and by heaven, where he is seated from that time forward at God's right hand.” Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You! + Mikel A. | RosaryNetwork.com, New York • May 21, 2023, Today's Rosary on YouTube | Daily broadcast at 7:30 pm ET

Fr. Patrick preached this homily on May 19, 2023 at a Date Night hosted at Sacred Heart of Jesus Catholic Church in Wadsworth, OH. The readings are from Acts 18:9-18, PS 47:2-3, 4-5, 6-7 & Jn 16:20-23.

Homily from the The Ascension of the Lord Approach the Lord with open hearts. It has been said that "10,000 difficulties do not make one single doubt". When we approach God, we can be tempted to hesitate. We need to be able to ask the questions that need to be answered. This asking is not the same thing as doubting.Mass Readings from May 21, 2023Acts 1:1-11Psalm 47:2-3, 6-7, 8-9Ephesians 1:17-23 Matthew 28:16-20

Fr. Ryan preached this homily on May 14, 2023 at St Basil the Great Catholic Church in Brecksville, OH. The Sunday readings are from The Sunday readings are from Acts 8:5-8, 14-17, Ps 66:1-3, 4-5, 6-7, 16, 20, 1 Pt 3:15-18 & Jn 14:15-21.

Do you need to be saved?   "And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12   If there was any other way to restore mankind to God, then Jesus didn't have to die. But if Jesus had to die, then what else would be required?   At the same time, all the work to save you or me is done by Jesus. Our job is to make a choice. We have no reason to boast. Even the power to choose came from God.   But rather than take us home when we believe, we get to stay. Our job is to be part of the marketing strategy.   Today, let's remember with humility that we have the answer. We didn't do anything to earn the answer. We don't deserve it. We're called to join our humility with confidence in Jesus. Humility is simply the knowledge that there is nothing in us that can save us.   Our testimony is to live according to this balance.

My second author interview with Josh Howard about my new book, Acts and the Movement of God.We discuss the church in Jerusalem as the role model for every church. We learn that discipleship and church formation are two sides of the same reality. We identify the pattern of engagement in Acts between the movement of God and a lost world. We see how the movement advances through both miracles and martyrdom, signs and suffering. We hear how the movement of God is advancing today in the redlight district of Mumbai and an Islamist-controlled neighborhood in the Middle East.Find out more: movements.net/actsBuy your copy on Amazon: https://amzn.to/42IWrCr

“The” “Science” says this, But, The Word of God says . . .A teacher screamed at students who apparently had too many questions about a speaker from the Sexual Left that “in a Democratic society” we “shut-up and go along with what the ‘majority' wants.” So, what does God's Word say? CNN ran a piece claiming, effectively, “the” “science” says there is no advantage to a kid having anything more than a single mom. The writer of the piece spoke of the advantages of having a single mother. What does God's Word say? And, while I am at it, maybe CNN should actually READ the studies their writers quote, because I did. How about scientists making babies with the DNA of three people? Why stop at three? This is happening--for the safety of the babies, of course--so what does God's Word say? What does God say about a former abortionist who let the Lord back into his heart and now tells the world about his turning point, from a man who was ready to suffocate a little baby born alive--a baby who went on to live!--to a man who stands against abortion? What does God's Word say? What does God's Word say about redeeming people? Look no further than the Thief on The Cross; God is righteous and anxious to forgive.The Story of the Thief on the Cross—and What It Means for UsGod makes clear, we are not to obey orders that stand against God's Word. We must speak God's Word in truth and in grace. Acts 4:13-2213 When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus. 14 But since they could see the man who had been healed standing there with them, there was nothing they could say. 15 So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin and then conferred together. 16 “What are we going to do with these men?” they asked. “Everyone living in Jerusalem knows they have performed a notable sign, and we cannot deny it. 17 But to stop this thing from spreading any further among the people, we must warn them to speak no longer to anyone in this name.”18 Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God's eyes: to listen to you, or to him? You be the judges! 20 As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”21 After further threats they let them go. They could not decide how to punish them, because all the people were praising God for what had happened. 22 For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old.God is quite clear about the role of parents and mothers in particular Proverbs 1:8-9: "Pay close attention, my child, to your father's wise words and never forget your mother's instructions. For their insight will bring you success, adorning you with grace-filled thoughts and giving you reins to guide your decisions."Ephesians 6:1-3: "Children, if you want to be wise, listen to your parents and do what they tell you, and the Lord will help you.

Can she feel no love for the child she has borne?"Proverbs 31:26: "She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue."Proverbs 31:28–29: "Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 'Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.'"Deuteronomy 6:6–7: "And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise."Proverbs 31:31: "Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate."Psalm 139:13-14:"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well."Genesis 3:20: "The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living."What does the Bible say about cannibalism?Episode 834 LinksWe are tolerant so SHUT-UP!SHOCKING: Woke leftist teacher at Wood Green academy scolds students for morally disagreeing with and questioning LGBT propaganda speakers at their school Let us now praise single momsThe author quotes a study she says proves being raised by a single parent makes no difference.
