What does the Passover have to do with the Christian gospel? On Maundy Thursday we join Jesus and his disciples in the upper room for their final Passover meal together before our Lord’s Passion. This message from Fr. Daniel Logan reminds us of the various ways God prepared the world for the coming of His Messiah.
How much do you love your life? As we approach Holy Week Jesus tells us that those who love their lives will lose them, while those who hate their lives will gain them. This week’s message from Beeson Divinity School founder Dr. Timothy George helps us understand how vital this concept is to our grasp of the gospel.
To whom is your life lived? To the gods of this present age or the God who has made you alive in Christ Jesus? 2 Chronicles 36:14-23 speaks of the unfaithfulness of God’s officers and priests which led to the Babylonian captivity. In this week’s message, Fr. Michael Novotny engages this difficult text and how relevant it is in the church today.
Does zeal for God’s house consume you as it did Jesus? As Jesus clears the temple of merchants and money-changers, his disciples remember Psalm 69:9. In this week’s message, Fr. Michael Novotny helps us understand the significance of this episode in Jesus’ ministry and how it applies to how we understand the importance of God’s presence, the Temple, and the Church in our lives today.
What is your response to suffering and self-denial? Most of us prevent it at all costs. After confessing that Jesus is the Christ St. Peter wanted to deter him from walking toward his own suffering (Mark 8:31-33). St. Peter learned a difficult lesson about self-denial. This week’s message from Fr. Daniel Logan helps us understand how to learn this lesson in our own lives today.
Do you trust the Lord? This is difficult for every Christian. The Fall of mankind was the result of Adam’s failure to trust God. In his baptism and temptation in the desert, Jesus did what Adam could not: withstand the deception of Satan. As we begin our Lenten journey, listen to this important message by Fr. Michael Novonty.
