The book of Acts is Luke's record of the apostles' work after Jesus' ascension, though it might better be called the Acts of the Holy Spirit in the Early Church. Join us for this series with Pastor Skip Heitzig, as we see how Jesus continues working today through the spirit-empowered church.

Fr. Nestler carefully goes through the Gospel of Matthew revealing how the story of Jesus is told in his miracles, preaching, teaching and parables. All of these elements are blended together to present his believing community with one vivid and inspired explanation of Jesus. The drama and conflict in the Gospel gives meaning to the life of the Church, which throughout history has been in conflict with the world. Yet Jesus’ mission is to the entire world.

Timothy Carmody takes us on an in-depth journey into the world of the Gospel of St. Mark. His unique approach in utilizing both narrative and literary criticism, while stressing the need for a critical historical perspective, enables the listener to get to the very heart of how the Gospel of Mark works in conveying his message and answering the question "What is actually going on in the text?"

The series of three books I have written; analyzing and expanding the communications from various groups of spirits to the Rev. G. Vale Owen, are for the express purpose of explaining the reality - the organization, the process, the environment, the progression of spirits, the work, the daily life - of Heaven and the realms below to provide for those interested an understanding of why we are on earth, in our present physical form, and what is waiting for us when our dense shell is cast off and we return to the real world … the spirit world.

Little is known of the life of Zen master Huang-Po (Obaku in Japanese). He was born in Fuzhou, China, and died about 850 AD. His main teacher was Pai Chang (Hyakujo) (720 - 814). The main source for Huang-Po's teaching is the Treatise of the Essentials of the Transmission of the Mind, compiled by his student, Pei Xiu. Huang-Po's teaching is focused on the concept of Mind, the essence of intrinsic Buddahood. According to the master, the search for enlightenment was a useless distraction, as seeking for something inevitably separates the seeker from what is being sought.

“Woman Behold Thy Son; Behold Thy Mother.” (John 19:26-27) Meditations on the Third Word from the Cross by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen For years, Archbishop Sheen gave a series of powerful presentations on Christ’s Passion and His seven last words from the Cross. As a Scripture scholar, Archbishop Sheen knew full well the power contained in preaching Christ crucified. With St. Paul, he could say, “For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified” (1 Cor. 2:2). During his last recorded Good Friday address in 1979, Archbishop Sheen spoke of having given ...

Fifty years of Jesuit spirituality and scholarship come to full expression in Fr. Harvey Egan’s audio collection, 77 Great Catholic Homilies.

Some of the greatest worship songs and hymns were written during times of deep pain. The process of going through trials is not easy, yet when we allow God to work through our pain, He can produce a sweet melody of growth in our lives. This eight-message series gives biblical counsel on the issue of suffering in the lives of believers.

When Spurgeon speaks, you’d be wise to listen. The great London preacher Charles Haddon Spurgeon had a lot to say during his four decades of ministry at the Metropolitan Tabernacle. And beyond his mighty voice, Spurgeon’s pen churned out countless words of biblical interpretation and Christian wisdom. These words can still encourage us today! This volume of the Spurgeon Speaks series focuses on the power of God’s Word. Nothing motivated Spurgeon more than proclaiming the holy Scriptures. His love for the Bible will encourage you as well.

In this sermon, John Calvin ascribes free will to all people in the sense that they act voluntarily, not by compulsion. He elaborated his position by allowing that man has choice, and that it is self-determined and that his actions stem from his own voluntary choosing.

In this brief presentation to graduate students at Franciscan University in Steubenville, OH, She gleans much inspiration from her father and his vast work experience, and seeks to answer the question, "Have you ever found it difficult to discern between what your 'heart' wants and what your 'head' wants?"

You shall be holy, for I am holy. (1 Peter 1:16) Can I stand Holy before God? The call to be holy is not optional although our lives often reflect that attitude. It is vital to understand your journey of sanctification. "Set Apart for God" is a study of holiness based on J.C. Ryle's book on holiness complete with discussion questions. These are important questions that a Christian must answer. What is the right knowledge of sin? Where does all sin originate? Do we realize the “amazing sinfulness of sin”? How does genuine Sanctification show itself? Why is holiness so important? How do ...

Far more than a spiritual commentary on the “Our Father,” Fr. Semenenko offers a brief compendium of the spiritual life. Showing the logical progress in the spiritual life, Fr. Peter began with the final petition and worked his way forward—forward and upward, to the very throne of God. Indeed, according to Fr. Semenenko, the way to union with God begins with conversion. Conversion itself is a grace… Addressing these homilies to exiles and trying to interpret the signs of the times—signs that have not changed much—, he speaks much of God’s love and the need for conversion.

In this bold message delivered at Bishop George Searight's 2004 Family Life conference, Dr. Juanita Bynum sounds the charge from the Lord for every believer: "Now that I've given My Life for you...give me yours and let me live vicariously through you." This is the essence of "Imputed Righteousness": receiving the matchless, sinless character of Christ and letting Him shine from within you.

It’s true! You can do badly all by yourself. Yet, the reality is, by placing your faith in God and yourself and not someone else, you can fulfill your purpose and dreams. Join Dr. Jamal Harrison Bryant as he preaches this three-part series with the messages "I Can’t Waste Another Tear", "You Don’t Know What You Did to Me", and "I’ve Had Enough".

The book of Romans is the believer's handbook on what salvation through faith in Jesus Christ is all about. In this series Pastor Skip Heitzig takes us on an in-depth journey through Romans, exploring what the doctrine of salvation means for our everyday lives.

1st presentation: "Ministry as Affecting the Minister": 2nd presentation: "Moral Loneliness within Life" and "Ministry as Affecting the Minister" : Ministry as both a Faith-drama and an Ego-drama. Schools of ministry are good at preparing us in how to do ministry. They are less adept in preparing us in terms of what ministry will do to us. How do we cope with the grandiosity that is triggered by success? How do we deal with the anger and bitterness that besets us when our ministry is going badly? How do we handle our sexuality inside all of this?
