In its services, the Church calls St Basil a "bee of the Church of Christ": bringing the honey of divinely-inspired wisdom to the faithful, stinging the uprisings of heresy. He was born in Cappadocia to a wealthy and prominent family. Their worldly wealth, however, is as nothing compared to the wealth of Saints that they have given to the Church: his parents St Basil the Elder and St Emmelia; his sister St Macrina (July 19), the spiritual head of the family; and his brothers St Gregory of Nyssa (January 10), and St Peter, future bishop of Sebaste (January 9).   Inspired and tutored by his father, a renowned professor of rhetoric, the brilliant Basil set out to master the secular learning and arts of his day, traveling to Athens, where he studied alongside his life-long friend St Gregory of Nazianzus. When he returned from his studies in 356, he found that his mother and his sister Macrina had turned the family home into a convent, and that his brothers had also taken up the monastic life nearby. Puffed up by his secular accomplishments, he at first resisted his sister's pleas to take up a life devoted to God, but at last, through her prayers and admonition, entered upon the ascetical life.   After traveling among the monks of Egypt, Palestine and Syria, he settled in Cappadocia as a hermit, living in utter poverty and writing his ascetical homilies. A monastic community steadily gathered around him, and for its good order St Basil wrote his Rule, which is regarded as the charter of monasticism. (St Benedict in the West was familiar with this Rule, and his own is modeled on it.)   In about 370 he was consecrated Bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia. Even as bishop, he continued to live without any possessions save a worn garment to cover himself. At this time the Arian heresy was rending the Church, and it became St Basil's lot to defend Orthodoxy in Sermons and writings, a task which he fulfilled with such erudition and wisdom that he is called "Basil the Great." He reposed in peace in 379, at the age of forty-nine.

Many years ago, as a young mother, Peggy Joyce attempted to witness to her neighbor only to end up questioning her own faith. The next eight years were filled with paralyzing fears and depression. Most pastors and the psychological world had given up entirely, but God had a different plan. (Also available in book form, Tormented 8 Years and Back.)

As Mark brings his fast-moving first chapter to a close, he records one of the most striking moments in Jesus' early ministry: the healing of a leper.In today's episode, we continue our sermon series from the archives, The Gospel According to Mark, as Paul helps us see ourselves in this desperate man—not just in his condition, but in his humble, faith-filled response to the mercy and power of Christ.To hear more sermons from Paul, visit PaulTripp.com/Sermons.Partner with Paul Tripp MinistriesPaulTripp.com/Give

What does it really mean to strive for your full potential—and how does faith shape that pursuit? In this episode, Pastor Doug challenges the culture's definition of success and reframes potential through a biblical lens. You'll hear how God's design for growth, discipline, and purpose leads not to burnout or pride, but to a life of meaning, resilience, and transformation.Support the mission of the Salty Pastor podcast!

Material riches are not the key to happiness. This is a lesson repeated through both Scripture and popular culture, yet most struggle to accept it. Our Lord came to us in poverty. Although our respective stations in life may call upon us to have material resources, we must not abandon the call to have poverty of spirit, that is, detachment from material goods.

Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to help us, to validate us as family, and to guarantee our eternal life.

The mystery of Christmas reveals the great goodness of God. To appreciate this gift, we must reflect on our own rebelliousness, stubbornness, and pride. This is why it was necessary for Our Lord to go to the extraordinary length to provide the unfathomable gift of His Incarnation for the sole purpose of saving us. God chose not to break us down through His strength, but rather lowered Himself to become one of us to lead humanity from darkness to light.

Welcome to Christ Community's Online Service! In this message, Pastor Howard walks through Acts 24 and what it looks like to follow Jesus when life feels stuck—when the “New Year” doesn't feel new at all. Through Paul's imprisonment and the day-to-day slog of uncertainty, we're reminded of four anchors to hold tight: choosing joy in trials, living in step with the Holy Spirit, speaking truth even when it's hard, and trusting that God's grace is sufficient—especially in our weakness. If you're facing ongoing hardship, grief, anxiety, or disappointment, this sermon points to the steady hope of Christ's power resting on us. For prayer and to stay connected, please visit: https://www.cccgreeley.org For Giving: https://www.cccgreeley.org/give/ Discussion guide: https://cccgreeley.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2025-12-28-Group-Discussion-Questions.pdf Prepare Your Heart: The Thirst Conference Is Coming https://mailchi.mp/cccgreeley/weekly-digital-newsletter-16048562 Christ Community Church – Greeley, CO

This Sunday we continued in our series through Luke's Gospel as Pastor Alex delivered a sermon centered on Luke 2:21-52. In his sermon, Pastor Alex explained how Christ's two natures, his divine nature and his human nature, often referred to as the Hypostatic Union, serve as one of the core doctrines of the Christian faith.

As we close out the Year of Following, we look back on how Jesus' words, life, calling, and example have shaped us to walk more faithfully with Him. As we look ahead, we commit to continue following His lead with renewed hope, purpose, and confidence that He is still at work in and through us.

That quiet stretch between Christmas and New Year's can feel strange. We rest. We think. We replay the past year — sometimes with joy, sometimes regret. This message is about reflection — not guilt, not pressure — but honest growth. Because when we don't reflect, we repeat. And the cracks we ignore in our character, stress, or ego often follow us into the next season.If you want to step into the new year more grounded and intentional, this talk will guide you through simple reflection that leads to real change — not more hustle.--Support content like this and the vision of Sandals Church at http://sandalschurch.com/support/Join our email list for content updates: http://sandalschurch.com/subscribeDownload the Sandals Church App: http://sandalschurch.com/app/If you have questions, need prayer or want to get connected, please email us anytime at online@sandalschurch.com!

The space between intention and reality is often marked by reflection, regret, and resolve. In Matthew 7, Jesus closes the Sermon on the Mount by drawing our attention away from what we intend or admire and toward what we actually build our lives on. This sermon invites us to move beyond hearing Jesus' words and instead build on Him—the unshakable foundation who holds us steady when the storms come.Catch the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show

Rabbi Adam Kligfeld's Shabbat Teaching at Temple Beth Am, Los Angeles, December 27, 2025. (Youtube/Zoom)

Sunday morning sermon audio from Preston Highlands Baptist Church.

“JESUS: Light of the World”The 19th-century English preacher, William Lonsdale Watkinson, once said, “It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.” It is easy today to curse the darkness, since there is so much of it and we get tired of being engulfed by it. But Watkinson was right. Jesus came into this world of darkness as the LIGHT (John 1:4–5). Only He can dispel the darkness of the world. And yet this Light of the World, who resides within each of us as His followers, calls us to shine as His lights in this world (Matthew 5:16). We can either curse the darkness or share the light of Christ with someone and, by doing so, see another candle lit to dispel the darkness. This Christmas, as we celebrate the Light of the world, let's remember our calling to share that light with someone else rather than curse the darkness around us.
