When Christ first appeared alive with His Apostles after his resurrection, Thomas was absent. The Apostles said, “We have seen the Lord,” but Thomas needed to see for himself. Eight days later Thomas saw Christ with his own eyes and believe. Christ said, “You believe because you have seen. Blessed are those who believe but who have not seen.” The Church has spread through the centuries because the Church stands in the world as eyewitness to the Resurrection of Christ. With our faith and courage, and God’s grace many more will believe in the Resurrection of Christ because of our eyewitness to them. We believe because others share their eyewitness. The Church will continue only if we share our eyewitness. It is up to us.

Episode 448 – Let the Gospel Change You
Sunday Apr 13, 2025
Sunday Apr 13, 2025
There were thousands of people gathered in Jerusalem who witnessed the glory of Jesus Christ. They witnessed Lazarus whom Jesus had raised from the dead. Despite seeing His glory with their own eyes, they didn’t understand God’s glory. We sit in Church. We see the glory of God. We proclaim our faith in Him. Still, like the ancient crowd we just don’t understand Jesus for Who really is. Now is our chance to witness God’s glory and change our life to be with the King of Glory.

Episode 447 – Doubt that leads to Christ
Sunday Mar 30, 2025
Sunday Mar 30, 2025
Sometimes we doubt our faith. Sometimes we doubt that our faith is strong enough to ‘get us over the finish line’ so that we can grow closer to Christ. Sometimes we have ‘just enough’ faith to come to Christ and ask for help. In those moments, Christ gives us what we need to be stronger in our faith in Him. In those moments Christ helps us in our weakness, and always gives us what we need.

Sunday Mar 16, 2025
When we gather as the family of God, we have the blessing to bring people to Christ who need His help and healing. When Christ saw the faith of four friends of a paralyzed man, He healed the man and forgave his sins. Our responsibility to God is bring people to the Church so they can be healed and forgiven.

Episode 445 – Forgiveness is about Reconciliation
Sunday Mar 02, 2025
Sunday Mar 02, 2025
On Forgiveness Sunday, the Gospel teaches us that God will only forgive once we have forgiven others. This is difficult when we fight about who was right and who was wrong. Since all since is against God, then forgiveness comes much easier. If we can forgive for reconciliation rather than right or wrong, then we unite with each other and God. Then, and only then, we God forgive us.

Episode 444 – Loving Others As Christ
Sunday Feb 23, 2025
Sunday Feb 23, 2025
The Parable of the Last Judgment in Matthew 25 can confuse us into believing that our actions will save us. Our judgment isn’t about the works that we do, our ability to love others as if we are loving Christ. Even our giving to the Church should be out of love for God and not out of duty.

Episode 443 – A Real-Life Prodigal Son
Sunday Feb 16, 2025
Sunday Feb 16, 2025
When someone who has wasted everything and lost everything, or has strayed away from God, chooses to return in repentance, it is a blessing to witness. The Parable of the Prodigal Son is much more than just a story about repentance. It is also a story of the ‘one left behind’ and being too cold to be joyful over another’s repentance. You never know when you will meet a prodigal son returning to God. It is just as important to welcome others home as it is to repent and return home.

Episode 442 – Today I Could Die Happy
Sunday Feb 02, 2025
Sunday Feb 02, 2025
There are special days in our life when we feel so happy and content that we can’t imagine life getting any better. Saint Symeon had such a day when he saw Jesus Christ. “Lord, now let your servant depart in peace.” The Church invites us to consider what it might take for our hearts to be filled with so much peace and joy at seeing Him that we are ‘ready’ to die.

Episode 441 – Gratitude is a Way of Life
Sunday Jan 19, 2025
Sunday Jan 19, 2025
We say ‘thank you’ all the time, but we rarely live a life of gratitude. Being truly thankful requires a life-change, more than just a few words. When we want to thank God, we come to His Church, bow and worship Him, and live a new life of gratitude.

Episode 440 – Not Sinless but Holy
Sunday Dec 22, 2024
Sunday Dec 22, 2024
When we hear the human lineage of Christ in Matthew 1.1-25, we hear about our human ancestors. The ‘list of names’ reminds us that God has never walked away from us, no matter how far we have strayed away from Him. The Feast of Christmas is a celebration of God’s saving act of becoming human and saving us. The story of our ancestors is a story of faith. It is a story of those who kept returning to God no matter how often or how far they may have strayed. It inspires us to return to Him and celebrate Christmas and our salvation.
