The Temptation to Misuse the Church is Very Real: Jesus declares that His house must be a house of prayer, not a den of thieves. Today, we confront misuse of the Church's mission and reflect on staying faithful to prayer, truth, and the defense of life. This Scripture challenges us to remain rooted in the Gospel in a time of confusion and compromise.

Righteous Fury: Zeal for Justice and Life Scripture teaches about “zeal” and “just fury”—a righteous anger rooted in love and justice. Christians are called to cultivate this same holy passion against injustice, especially the evil of abortion. This episode explores how righteous anger motivates action without falling into bitterness or sin.

Opening Remarks The purpose of gathering is to worship God, not to focus on Elder Roger or songs. Expresses being 70 years old, soon to be 71, and aware of having more past than future. There is no fear of death because of knowing what awaits after life. The message has been on Elder Roger's heart, waiting for divine guidance on when to share it. Decided to speak after being asked by Brother Tommy and seeking God's direction. Relying on the Lord and aiming to convey what God has laid on their heart. Scripture Reading and Prayer Reading from Isaiah 41. Specific verses mentioned: Isaiah 41:10, 41:13, 2 Timothy 1:7 Prayer for divine help in delivering the message. Asking God to step aside and allow God's will to be done. Overcoming Fear Through Faith Reiterates not fearing what is coming because of faith in God. God loves people enough to help them through difficulties. Criticizes Christians who worry excessively. Example: People walking around with their heads down and wringing their hands. If you have God in your heart, don't worry about what's going to happen. Reference to the story of the three men in the fiery furnace. God brought them out unharmed. Reference to the Israelites crossing the Red Sea. God opened the sea to save them from the pursuing army. God will not let you perish and loves you enough to save your soul. God's Unfailing Support Emphasizes the phrase "Fear not" from Isaiah 41:13. Personal testimony of experiencing God's support through difficult times. God was holding my hand. God lifts people up when they are down and out. God can take you up out of the marty clay. Just call upon his holy name. God will not let his children down. Personal belief in God's love and sacrifice. God sent his only begotten son to die for his old boy. Serving God and Rejecting Fear Many people don't want to call on God anymore. God wants people to serve him and have access to all available blessings. God has a storehouse of blessings. Reference to 2 Timothy 1:7: "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." Acknowledges not having a great natural mind but knowing that God loves them. That's the most important thing in my life at this time, that God loves me and he watches over me. Sound Mind Through God God gives a sound mind to know right from wrong. A sound mind helps recognize when one is acting against God's will. When God changes your heart, he gives you a sound mind to know what you're doing good or doing wrong. That's our mission.

Rejecting God's Plan: The Tragedy of Abortion - Jesus warns about the consequences of rejecting God's choices. Abortion represents that same rejection today—choosing human will over God's gift of life. This reflection examines how aligning with God's plan restores hope, healing, and purpose.

The Fire That Prepares a Culture of Life: The Day of the Lord is described as “blazing like an oven”—a fire that purifies rather than destroys. This refining fire prepares our hearts, our culture, and our nation to reject the culture of death and embrace the fullness of life. Today's Scripture invites us to embrace God's purification so we can build a stronger culture of life.

A Cry for Mercy: The Grief Society Tries to Silence In today's Gospel, a man cries out to Jesus for healing while others try to silence him. This mirrors the forbidden grief that surrounds abortion—pain that society refuses to acknowledge. We reflect on how Jesus hears every cry for mercy, and how the Church offers compassion, forgiveness, and healing.

God Secures the Rights of His People: Jesus teaches that God is committed to securing the rights of His chosen ones. This truth strengthens our resolve in the pro-life mission, reminding us that God Himself defends the vulnerable—especially the unborn. Today's reflection invites us to trust in God's justice as we work to protect every human life.

Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary TimeLuke's Gospel account outlines Jesus description of how the end of the world will come about. Jesus' sobering words offers readers the opportunity to see two differing world views, the world created by man and the world created by God via the story of creation. Jesus makes it clear we will be martyr's before we become saints. A martyr by definition is a witness. People will be asked to make a public witness to the truth of our individuality as beloved sons and daughters. It's by our perseverance we will secure our lives.Scripture Readings for November 16, 2025Malachi 3:19-20Psalm 98:5-92 Thessalonians 3:7-12Luke 21:5-19

The Power of Losing Yourself in Love: In today's Gospel, Jesus reminds us that those who truly love are willing to “lose” their lives. Real love means sacrifice, giving yourself for others, and trusting that God restores what we surrender. We reflect on how self-giving love builds a Culture of Life and reveals God's plan for redemption through sacrifice.

The Gospel proclaims that the Kingdom of God is among us, alive with truth, grace, strength, and transforming power. In this reflection, Frank Pavone explains how God's Kingdom brings clarity, restores hope, and offers the true antidote to abortion and the culture of death. This message shows how faith strengthens your mission, how Scripture guides daily pro life action, and how God's presence forms a culture that protects the unborn and heals wounded hearts. A focused message for prayer, clarity, and courage.

Gratitude for Lives Saved and Hearts Healed: In the Gospel, a healed leper returns to thank Jesus. Today we give thanks for the countless lives saved from abortion and the hearts healed through God's mercy. Gratitude strengthens our mission for life.

Scripture Reading from Luke 11: 29-32 (0:00)Sermon by Sam Haist (0:48)

God's design and desire for his people is spiritual growth and maturity. We learn here that the Corinthian Christians aren't growing up. They are still spiritual babies. This is true for some of us, too. Paul here reminds us that God has given us all we need to grow as he challenges us to GROW UP!
