Pastor Caleb Cole continues the Way of Decrease series with a message titled “Comparison: The Way of Cain or Abel!” Teaching from Genesis 4, this sermon explores how comparison, jealousy, and envy begin in the heart and can ultimately separate us from God's presence. By contrasting the way of Cain with the way of Abel, Pastor Caleb challenges us to choose surrender, obedience, and sacrifice so we can experience deeper joy and greater connection with God.

Send a textIn this sermon, The Tale of Two Saviors, we explore one of the most shocking moments in the Passion story recorded in Matthew 27:15–26—when the crowd was given a choice between Jesus Barabbas and Jesus the Messiah.At first glance, the decision seems unbelievable. Why would anyone choose a violent insurrectionist over the innocent Son of God?But when we look closer at the historical context, the choice becomes more understandable—and more uncomfortable. Barabbas represented the kind of savior people expected: someone who would fight for their nation, overthrow their enemies, and restore their power. Jesus offered something very different: the way of the cross, forgiveness, and sacrificial love.In this message from our Lent series, Paradox, we wrestle with a difficult question that still confronts us today: Which Savior are we actually following?This episode invites listeners to reflect on the difference between a faith built on power and one shaped by the cross, and to rediscover the hope found in the Savior who carried the cross meant for us.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

Exodus 16:2-5, 13-30 Matthew 11:28-30
In this message from An Unlikely Lent, we explore the story of Barabbas and the surprising freedom found in the cross, where Jesus takes our place and sets us free from guilt and shame.

#sermon #catholicThere are two times during Lent when the Church tries to give us a boost and encourage us to persevere in our Lenten practices. One time, of course, is Laetare Sunday, which occurs just after the halfway point of Lent. The other time is today, when we are a quarter of the way through Lent.The fact that the Church tries to encourage us today indicates to us that we should already be feeling a bit worn out by our Lenten resolutions. We should be needing a second wind.If we have not yet made any resolutions for Lent, we must be sure to do so today. If we are finding our resolutions easy, perhaps we should add something to them that is more difficult.For those of us who are worn out, the Church gives us encouragement in the same way that Our Lord chose to encourage the Apostles right before His crucifixion. He did it by becoming transfigured before them.The Church shows us that she really wants to reflect carefully on this episode in Our Lord's life by giving us the same Gospel two days in a row, for Ember Saturday and today. She only does this one other time, Ember Saturday in Advent and the Fourth Sunday of Advent.This transfiguration is encouraging for us because it shows the glory that will come at the end of our struggles. If we persevere in the Catholic life, if we continue carrying our Cross and being faithful, one day we will enter heavenly glory.Our garments will be as white as snow because of the radiance of our body. Our body will shine brighter than the sun.Just as when there is a contest, the contestants are shown the prize that will be awarded to the winner before they start the contest. Seeing the prize encourages those who are competing. When they are in the midst of the competition, they think about what they will earn if they win and they continue in their efforts.So, too, for us, a quarter of the way through Lent and a certain percentage of the way through our life. We might be weary of our duty of state and the daily grind. We might be weary fighting against the world, the flesh, and the devil. Then, we remind ourselves: if I persevere, I will win an eternal crown. I will be happy forever. I will receive a glorified body that will never suffer.This vision of Our Lord's glory had a huge impact on St. Peter. He mentions it as definitive proof of Our Lord's divinity in his second epistle, “We were not following fictitious tales when we made known to you the power and coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of his grandeur. For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when from out the majestic glory a voice came down to him. And this voice we ourselves heard borne from heaven when we were with him on the holy mount” (2 Pet. 1:16-18)This vision of Our Lord's glory really happened. And it is a real proof of the glory we will have.

Mary, the sister of Lazarus and Martha, was a witness to Christ as recorded in John's Gospel. As Jesus and many others are gathered for dinner, Mary anoints Jesus' feet with an ointment that was worth a year's wages. What a generous act! Mary's generosity is contrasted with Judas' greed. While Mary is generous towards Jesus, Judas seeks his own advantage. We remember Mary's generosity and love, which point us to Jesus.
