I drew parallels between Samson's story and Christ's sacrifice, emphasizing how Jesus is our "greater judge" who offers deliverance and hope even in our darkest moments.

Jesus is a friend of sinners, drawing close to us and extending grace. Though the woman is known to be sinful, she approaches Jesus with humility and faith, while Simon the Pharisee treated Jesus as if he doesn't need Him. There is no one too sinful for God's grace, and no one too far from the feet of Jesus.

Les Grandes Gueules ne savent rien de ce qui les attend... Et pourtant ils vont devoir débattre sur une actu qu'ils vont découvrir en direct !

Jesus chose to pick up the sinner, rather than pick up a stone. What does he call us to do?   (Endless is Your Love - Kendzia - sung by Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Contemporary Choir, Ridgewood, NJ) The homilies of Msgr. Stephen J. AvilaPastor, St. Joseph, Guardian of the Holy Family Parish, Falmouth, MAThanks for listening! May God's Word find a home in you.

Luke is back from his lavish golf trip in Hawaii and has stories about swimming with sharks. Will has Frank jokes that don't land. Also – shark talk. ALSO – A breakdown of the Step-by-Step theme song. The Mariners have incredible pitching, but terrible hitting. The Orioles have great hitting, but terrible pitching. IF ONLY THERE WAS SOMETHING TO DO ABOUT THIS. Will makes the case to Luke that Seattle should give Baltimore Logan Gilbert for Coby Mayo, Jorge Mateo and some cash. A “pitch” for relegation in the MLB.

Taking a spin through the NBA Playoff scenarios left as the season comes to an end. Are the Trail Blazers still a possibility for the play-in? No. Luke has a great idea how to help the MLB get better attendance at the end of year; Re-Division-ing. Put those crappy teams in the same division and let them sort it out. Will is not convinced. They TALK ABOOOUT ET! Sportsy stuff. WHAT TO WATCH!!!

Is faith really enough to save a person? Or do you have to do more?In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster unpacks the means of justification—faith—with powerful scriptures and relatable examples. From Romans 5.1 to John 3.14–16, you'll discover that we are not saved by seeing, feeling, or working... but by believing.

Homily for the 5th Sunday of Lent. Based upon Isaiah 43:16-21; Psalm 126; Philippians 3:38-14; John 8:1-11.

This sermon from Mission Church explores the tension between human weakness and divine calling, as seen in the encounter between Herod and John the Baptist. While Herod was drawn to John's message, he was also ensnared by his own sin and fear of others. In contrast, John stood firm in the truth, even at great personal cost. Join us as we examine Matthew 14:1-13a and consider what it means to live with conviction in a world that tempts us to compromise.Learn more about Mission Church at www.missionlasvegas.com.

Follow Sam and Morgan, as we discuss one of our first-ever dark paranormal romances. We apologize if this episode is upside down, as we recorded this one late into the night. However, it does seem to go with the theme, as this book is very dark, aka dark romance.  Thank you to Kait, Montlake, and Netgalley for allowing us to review this book early for an honest review.   About The Novel: The seven deadly sins keep high profiles in the Big Lust runs brothels, Sloth's a media streamer…you get the picture. Pride, though, he's more mysterious. You might know him as Lucifer—temptation irresistibly embodied. The paparazzi are dying for some burning-hot gossip. So when someone publishes my scathing but private rant about him, they eat it up. And now my job is on the line. After all, he is my boss. With his vicious siblings vying for his power, Lucifer needs to distract the press, so he reframes my tirade as a lovers' spat, demanding I play the devil's fiancée. I need to be a good girl, smile for the cameras, nothing more. But cocky and cruel as he is, his darkness awakens something wicked in me. Sexy and in control, he might just be the cure—an extra dose of sin to heal me from a lifetime of shame and subservience. Wanna check out our socials? Then click here!

Greg answers questions about why there are so many different denominations, how to help someone who prayed a prayer as a child but doesn't seem to be following Jesus, people saying, “Oh my God,” and knowledge of Jesus through existential experience.   Topics: Why are there so many different denominations? (05:00) How can I help people who are counting on a prayer they prayed as a child—but have no evidence of sanctification in their lives—understand that they have a need for Jesus? (23:00) Can you explain why you don't have a problem with people saying, “Oh my God”? (40:00) My fundamental existential experience of Jesus seems undeniable. Is this a category in epistemology?

This week, my guest is Joseph Beard. Joseph is a catechumen and soon-to-be baptized Orthodox Christian. He grew up the son of a Baptist preacher, and his family moved from town to town as various controversies followed his father. Along the way, he got into various subculture scenes and was able to maintain his faith as God sprinkled breadcrumbs along the way that would ultimately lead him to the Orthodox church. Joseph discusses the push out of Protestantism and the pull  into Christ's  True Church in this episode, and it is a journey that I think you will find quite beautiful.

The Way of the Sinner is Hard - Lee Adair by The Church of Christ Wheeler Area

Read Online“Look, all these years I served you and not once did I disobey your orders; yet you never gave me even a young goat to feast on with my friends. But when your son returns who swallowed up your property with prostitutes, for him you slaughter the fattened calf.” Luke 15:22–24This was the reaction of the faithful son in the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Recall that after squandering his inheritance, the Prodigal Son returns home humiliated and poor, asking his father if he will take him back and treat him as if he were a hired hand. But the father surprises him and throws a huge party for the son to celebrate his return. But the father's other son, the one who remained with him throughout the years, would not join in the celebration.Was it fair that the father killed the fatted calf and threw this large party to celebrate his wayward son's return? Was it fair that that same father apparently never even gave his faithful son a young goat to feast on with his friends? The right answer is that this is the wrong question.It's easy for us to live in such a way that we always want things to be “fair.” And when we perceive that another receives more than us, we can get angry and bitter. But asking whether or not this is fair is not the right question. When it comes to the mercy of God, God's generosity and goodness far exceed what is perceived as fair. And if we are to share in the abundant mercy of God, we too must learn to rejoice in His superabundant mercy.In this story, the act of mercy given to his wayward son was exactly what that son needed. He needed to know that no matter what he had done in the past, his father loved him and rejoiced in his return. Therefore, this son needed an abundance of mercy, partly to reassure him of his father's love. He needed this extra consolation so as to become convinced that he made the right choice in returning.The other son, the one who had remained faithful throughout the years, was not treated unfairly. Rather, his discontent came from the fact that he himself lacked the same abundant mercy present in the heart of his father. He failed to love his brother to the same extent and, therefore, failed to see the need to offer this consolation to his brother as a way of helping him understand he was forgiven and welcomed back. Mercy is very demanding and far exceeds what we may at first perceive as rational and just. But if we desire to receive mercy in abundance, we must be ready and willing to offer it to those who need it the most. Reflect, today, upon how merciful and generous you are willing to be, especially toward those who do not appear to deserve it. Remind yourself that the life of grace is not about being fair; it's about being generous to a shocking extent. Commit yourself to this depth of generosity toward all and look for ways that you can console another's heart with the mercy of God. If you do, that generous love will also bless your heart in abundance. My most generous Lord, You are compassionate beyond what I can fathom. Your mercy and goodness far exceed what any of us deserve. Help me to be eternally grateful for Your goodness and help me to offer that same depth of mercy to those in most need. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Luca Giordano, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.
