Growing in the Gospel - Corpus Christi Sunday

This weekend we hear from the gospel of John chapter 6 for Corpus Christi Sunday. These readings are challenging yet they point to Jesus being truly present body blood soul and divinity in the holy Eucharist. Do you believe it? Do you believe that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist at every single Catholic mass? Song: Promised Land Artist: Mike Mangione

Trinity Sunday - What can I do to make sure that this never happens again??

On this Trinity Sunday as we see civil unrest we are challenged with who God says He is versus who the world says He is. We are challenged to spread the message of how much we matter to God - that he would send his only Son to save the world. We are challenged to ensure that the evil we have seen never happens again by seeing this as our opportunity to be a part of the solution.

Growing in the Gospel - Pentecost Sunday

In this episode of growing in the gospel John chapter 20 is covered as we prepare for mass this Sunday. Jesus offers a peace unlike any other peace which is directly correlated to reconciliation. This is where in the gospel of John Jesus gives the authority through the power of the Holy Spirit to forgive sins. Without Without mercy and repentance there is no peace that comes from the Holy Spirit. Song: I just want peace Artist: Joe Zambon

Ascension Sunday - Little changes lead to big changes

In today’s Mass we are commissioned to make following disciples - but we need to do so freely. Prayers of deliverance are prayed so we never go back to our old ways.

Growing in the Gospel - Ascension Sunday

In the Gospel of Matthew chapter 28 we hear about the great commission of God in Jesus. We are all called to go make disciples of all nations. But why don’t we do that? Why do we just hear the words and not put them into action? What holds us back from being missionary disciples? This growing in the gospel challenges us to prepare not just for mass but for a lifelong commitment. Song: The Champion by Luke Spehar

6th Sunday of Easter - Bad Roots = Dumb Catholics

Growing in the Gospel - 6th Sunday of Easter

Jesus asks us if you love me . . . Then you will keep my Commandments. How can we say we love the one who is love if we do not do what he asks of us? Before pointing fingers at others we must first surrender and be humble enough to admit our own faults and failures before the God who is love. We need to repent, confess our sins, and start over again and again. Our lives will be the only witness to how well we love Jesus and kept his commandments. Song: My Hands Artist: Luke Spehar
