Most Catholic men can recite the Sign of the Cross in their sleep. But do we truly grasp what we're invoking every time we say those words?Fr. Dom cuts through the confusion and calls Catholic men to stand firm in one of the most attacked and misunderstood dogmas of our faith: the Most Holy Trinity. From Scripture to heresy, from the Catechism to the Creed, this episode dives deep into why the Trinity is not just a theological concept—but the very heart of Christian manhood.We walk through salvation history, tracing how the Trinity was slowly unveiled, culminating in Pentecost when God fully revealed Himself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This is not just a mystery to study—it's a mystery to live. And in a world that mocks the sacred, we are challenged to reclaim our bold, public witness to this truth.Fr. Dom reminds us that every time we make the Sign of the Cross, we are drawing the sword of Christ's victory over Satan. Every confession, every Eucharist, every act of prayer—these are moments where we are in direct contact with the living Trinity.But how many men cower when it's time to make the Sign of the Cross in public?This episode issues a direct challenge: Catholic men must stop being ashamed of their faith. Stop being passive. Start embracing the power of the Trinity that was poured into your heart at baptism.Key Challenge Issued:“We must stop being ashamed of making the Sign of the Cross in public. The world needs to know who we are and what we stand for.”One Key Takeaway for Men: Begin and end your day making the Sign of the Cross slowly and reverently. Do it with conviction. Do it in public. Do it as if your soul depends on it—because it does.

In this powerful follow-up to “Pentecost: The Forgotten Moment,” we shift our focus from the event to the people—those who responded with obedience, and those who didn't. Out of 500 who saw the resurrected Jesus, only 120 waited, prayed, and obeyed. These were the Remnant. This week's message challenges us to evaluate: Are we part of the 120, or are we clinging to comfort like the 380? Discover what it means to be a faithful, obedient remnant in today's culture. Learn to let go of the ropes, say yes to God's call, and pursue the fullness of the Spirit that was launched at Pentecost. It's not about numbers—it's about obedience.

As God shows that Jesus wields the most effective power of all, Luke tells the story in such a way that the power creates reassurance rather than fear, and hope rather than terror.Preaching text: Luke 8:26-39Bible for Worship is a weekly introduction to the scripture passage that is likely to be the basis for the sermon on the following weekend. It correlates with the Revised Common Lectionary as it is used at St. Paul. With Peter A. Pettit, teaching pastor.

El Bautismo del Espíritu Santo no es solo una experiencia espiritual extraordinaria, es una promesa divina que transforma vidas y capacita a los creyentes para vivir una vida llena de poder, propósito y comunión con Dios. “Pero recibiréis poder, cuando haya venido sobre vosotros el Espíritu Santo, y me seréis testigos…” —Hechos 1:8 Este poder no es terrenal ni se limita a emociones momentáneas. Es el poder del cielo que desciende sobre los hijos de Dios para encender sus corazones con fuego santo, para darles valor en medio de la oposición y sabiduría divina en tiempos de confusión. El Bautismo del Espíritu Santo no es solo para unos pocos, sino para todos los que creen y se entregan con hambre y sed de Dios. Así como en el día de Pentecostés, cuando los discípulos fueron llenos y hablaron nuevas lenguas, hoy también podemos ser llenos del mismo Espíritu, con manifestaciones de amor, gozo, poder y dones espirituales.

Jacob and Aaron dive into the readings for the Second Sunday after Pentecost, which are Isaiah 65:1-9, Galatians 3:23-29, and Luke 8:26-39.

On Sunday, Alex posed this question: How do you have a Spirit-filled and led people in a structure of church, authority, Scripture and interpretation, without quenching the activity of the Holy Spirit? We learn in 1 Corinthians 12 that the gifts of the Spirit are there for the unifying and sustaining of God's people in the age of the Spirit.  As we operate in the gifts, we discern together from our shared submission to the Holy Spirit what builds up in love and reveals Christ. Because we are humans, this will inevitably be messy, but we need the gifts and should humbly seek them out together.   Link to Sermon Guide & Activations: 06.15.25 Sermon Guide

On Pentecost, the faithful commemorate the birthday of the Church. Yet it is also a time to reflect on the coming of the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, and the gifts He bestows upon the faithful. What these gifts are and what they can do for us in our everyday lives is the topic of this sermon.

Father Mattingly describes three rules of the Holy Spirit in the Church

Send us a textThat breakthrough you've been praying for might be waiting—not in your striving, but in your sleeping. Divine rest isn't a luxury or an afterthought; it's foundational to how God designed us to function in relationship with Him.Ben Armstrong brings profound wisdom to our conversation about sleep, dreams, and the prophetic. He highlights how in the creation narrative, each day began with evening—a divine rhythm suggesting we should live from rest toward activity, not desperately racing toward rest after depleting ourselves.When the Holy Spirit was poured out at Pentecost, Peter quoted Joel's prophecy that dreams and visions would be key languages of the Spirit. Yet many believers have lost touch with this vital spiritual channel. Through biblical examples like Jacob receiving identity and direction through a dream, Ben illustrates how God often speaks most clearly when we're at rest.Modern science confirms what Scripture teaches—our bodies undergo crucial restoration during sleep, and most growth in nature happens at night. High cortisol levels from stress inhibit rest, while practices like reducing screen time before bed improve both sleep quality and dream recall. Even nutrition plays a surprising role in our ability to rest well.Perhaps most challenging is Ben's observation that we often "spiritualise our dysfunction," pushing through exhaustion while framing unhealthy patterns in religious language. Jesus modelled something different—communion with Father first, followed by purposeful action with more than enough resources for the day.The conversation concludes with a practical challenge: identify one small daily habit that acknowledges rest as vital to your life. This simple act of stewardship invites God's grace and can transform your entire approach to living in His kingdom.What divine breakthrough might be waiting for you in the place of rest you've been avoiding?BEN ARMSTRONGThe Overseer of Prophetic Ministry at Bethel Church, Redding, where he and his wife, Heather Armstrong, both serve as pastors.Through teaching and preaching, Ben equips people with the skills and tools they need to bring the kingdom of heaven to earth. He has a passion to see individuals fully equipped in living a prophetic lifestyle, as well as walking in the revelatory gifts. Ben has a passion for the pursuit of God's presence, seeing worship reach new heavenly realms, dreams and interpretation, healing, and living a prophetic lifestyle.They have three amazing children; Conner, Kira, and Madison. Ben, Heather, and their children are passionate about living the kingdom and bringing the supernatural in their family life and equipping others to do the same.https://armstrongministries.com/Support the showwww.greaterthingsinternational.com

In this powerful passage from Acts 2:37–47, we witness the immediate response to Peter's Pentecost sermon. The people were “cut to the heart” and asked, “What shall we do?” Peter's call to repentance, baptism, and receiving the Holy Spirit sparked a massive movement—about 3,000 souls were added that day. This moment marked the birth of the early church. They had radical fellowship.This video explores how the early believers fellowshipped. Their lives were radically transformed, and their community reflected the love and power of God. What can we learn from their devotion and apply in our lives today? Watch to reflect on how we, too, can live out our faith in genuine community.Acts 2:37-47 Bible study guide with companion discussion questions on our website - https://studyandobey.com/inductive-bible-study/acts/acts-2-37-47/Study and Obey's Bible study guides on Amazon -https://amzn.to/48SgPEN(As an Amazon associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.)Study and Obey Free Weekly Podcast on Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/study-and-obey/id1571266150Our website of 800+ practical and free Bible studies - https://studyandobey.comSupport this ministry -https://studyandobey.com/support/25+ Bible study guides for individual or group study on many different books of the Bible - https://studyandobey.com/shop/Support the show

Fr Shawn McCain Tirres on Pentecost Sunday (June 8th, 2025) This Pentecost sermon explores how God doesn't just speak our literal language, but communicates with us in every way we grasp truth and reality. The message centers on the "language of love" - the heavenly language of self-giving demonstrated by Jesus that the Spirit empowers ordinary people to speak fluently. Father Shawn challenges the congregation to let their lives be "translated" to others through practical acts of service, from setting up chairs to visiting the sick. Using vivid imagery of sacraments as "mini Pentecosts," the sermon shows how the Spirit continues to work through normal people in everyday moments. It concludes with a call to "re-up" on the commitment to allow our lives to translate God's love to everyone we encounter, crossing all boundaries of difference. The message celebrates both the cosmic significance of Pentecost and its intimate, practical implications for how we love and serve others in our daily lives.

On the day of Pentecost, Peter stood to proclaim that Jesus, who was crucified, had risen and is alive.  And he told this to a crowd who didn't realize the great hope this gives.  Having heard God's Word often, it still hadn't sunk in what it was telling them. Sadly, that may also be true for many today. God Himself assures you of something that's an absolute certainty.  In fact, you can live each day right now confidently –knowing and rejoicing that it's true.

“What does this mean?” This question might sound familiar to anyone who has spent time studying Luther's Small Catechism. As the catechism covers each of the Six Chief Parts, the question is asked again and again: “What does this mean?” And then explanation follows. This same question was asked by many in the crowd on the Day of Pentecost, as recorded in Acts 2. As the people hear and see these miraculous events, they are amazed and perplexed, asking one another, “What does this mean?” In the verses that follow, Peter gives explanation from the Old Testament. He proclaims that God has fulfilled His promise to “pour out His Spirit on all flesh.” The gift of the Holy Spirit has been given for all nations. As you celebrate the Day of Pentecost today, reflect on these events by asking yourself, “What does this mean—for me?”

Patrick welcomes listeners on a Taco Tuesday and shares an email about ghosts, blending his own eerie family experiences with Catholic teaching and biblical stories to consider what these encounters could mean. After responding to a caller about the tension between eucharistic processions and caring for the poor, he addresses questions on vaccines linked to fetal cells, clarifies Church guidance during COVID, and offers compassionate advice for parents facing challenging family situations. Quick-witted, honest, and rooted in faith, Patrick jumps from supernatural chills to ethical dilemmas, always inviting listeners to think and reflect in unexpected ways. Debra (email) - Do spirits and other supernatural beings "walk" the earth around us? (01:01) Patrick and Cyrus share ghost stories (07:32) Jude - There was a Eucharistic procession that came through my town and by our homeless shelter. It seemed the Catholic community in the procession were more focused on the procession rather than the homeless. Is it wrong to have an imbalance of charity to the poor and reverence to the Eucharist? (20:43) Jane (email) – I’m confused about the churches stance on abortion but promotes vaccines (26:09) Robert (email) - My oldest daughter text me this morning, going on and on about the ICE situation and Trump this and Trump that. Please, is there a book, article, or Bible verses you could suggest for me to pass on to her? (30:19) Ana (email) - As I meditate on The Holy Spirit descending in Pentecost, I can’t help thinking, how was this event different for The Virgin Mary? She had Jesus in her womb, The Holy Spirit over shadow her to give life to Jesus in her. Why did Mary need more of The Holy Spirit? (36:09) Becky (email) - My unwed daughter is pregnant and living with the baby's father. I have been invited to a baby shower for her. I am concerned about giving the appearance to my daughter and other shower attendees that I approve of my daughter’s sinful choices. (49:34)

Pentecost 2025 Graduation season is a time of giving—gifts to celebrate, to remember, and to send forth with love. But what if the greatest gifts we receive aren't wrapped in ribbons, but in the presence of the Giver Himself? In this episode, we explore the love language of gift giving—not as materialism, but as the sacred act of saying, “You are seen. You are loved.
