Sermon

King Duncan

... , in the streets. He spoke to the powerful and the powerless. He spoke to his friends and family, and he spoke to strangers and outcasts. He loved the unlovable, healed the hopeless, freed those in bondage, and stood firm in the face of persecution. By some estimates, Jesus traveled over 3,000 miles during his three years of ministry. (5) And everywhere he went, he shared the message and the love of God by his words and by his actions. By the people he hung out with and ate with and healed and befriended ...

... responded to what they saw. A frightened band of disciples huddled together in a house with the door barred. That is the scene before resurrection. A powerful band of mighty witnesses thrust out into the world. That is the scene post-resurrection. It has been estimated that by the end of the first century over a half million people had come under the Christian banner. That is the power of resurrection. It is never easy to disregard the testimony of witnesses who are ready to die for their words. Eventually ...

As the comedian would say, “just to make certain your name’s not printed there.” Of course, some of our younger members are asking, “What’s a newspaper?” An interesting obituary appeared in the Chattanooga Times-Free Press recently (12/18/2019) that, in my estimation, was good for a chuckle or two.

The obituary contained all kinds of praise for her virtues as a human being, but as you read down the page you are exposed to some of her eccentricities as ...

There was an interesting story online recently about the world’s third richest man, Warren Buffett. Buffett has an estimated net worth of $83.3 billion. That’s a great deal of money.

Not too long ago, another homeowner in Toulouse, France, opened up his leaky attic for repairs and discovered a painting by the Renaissance artist Caravaggio. This painting is also estimated to be worth millions. However, I don’t want you to think that the French have a franchise on such discoveries. A brother and sister in the United Kingdom were cleaning out their parents’ house after their parents’ death. They took a few ...

That’s not a formula that you would think would be all that attractive—particularly the part about suffering. And yet, it is estimated that there are currently 100 million Christians in China.

... removed and is in the Palatine Hill Museum. It may be meant to depict Jesus; if so, it competes with an engraved gem as the earliest known pictorial representation of the Crucifixion of Jesus. It is hard to date, but has been estimated to have been made c. 200. The image seems to show a young man worshipping a crucified, donkey-headed figure. The Greek inscription approximately translates to "Alexamenos worships god," indicating that the graffito was apparently meant to mock a Christian named Alexamenos ...

But this is not strictly a Catholic phenomenon. According to recent estimates, there are at least five hundred, and perhaps one thousand, evangelical Christian exorcism ministries in the United States.
