What's Most Important 2

When we ask what is most important and then reflect on making the Gospel most important we soon discover that there is a gap between the life we lead and the life of the Gospel.

What's most important 1

The beginning of a new message series that will run through Divine Mercy Sunday. What is most important and what difference will living that 100% make in your life?

The Barefoot Journey 5

The fifth and final message in the Barefoot Journey series. NO MATTER WHAT: God Forgives, without guilt, without blame, without shame.  In these final days of the season of Lent take time to go to confession and experience the power and joy of God's forgiveness.

The Barefoot Journey 4

The fourth in the Barefoot Journey message series. This week: penance. Like the younger son, do your penance - recognize your need for the Father.

The Barefoot Journey 3

It's time to take off your shoes...  "remove your sandals, this is holy ground" God says to Moses.  Moses makes his confession, asking Who do I say sent me? confession is about what we believe; telling sins in the Sacrament of Reconciliation is an admission to our failure in our belief.

The Barefoot Journey 2

This second in the Barefoot Journey series is the first "Act of the Penitent" Sorrow or Contrition. Recognizing the shoes of sin that we wear - shoes that bind us up, tire us out and make us hungry - we must acknowledge the wounded or broken relationship we have with God and His Church and repent saying, "I'm Sorry."

The Barefoot Journey 1

With the start of the Season of Lent, we are starting a new message series called "The Barefoot Journey" Did you ever walk bare foot in the sand on the beach? Why would you put shoes on your feet? To be more comfortable? To prevent injury? To keep your feet warm in the cold? Shoes are a lot like sin...  Sin is often the result of a desire for comfort, to prevent something bad from happening, because we are are cold and hungry.  Through this Lenten season we will look at those things traditionally call the "acts of the penitent" in the Sacrament of Reconciliation and see that taking off your shoes is akin to putting aside sin.
