    • Thy Faith Hath Made Thee Whole
      Healing Of The Ten Lepers
      Luke 18-18-27
      2012-12-23
      SYNOPSIS:The response of gratitude of the one leper of the ten who were healed by Jesus prompted our Lord to say to him " thy faith hath made thee whole." This common expression of Jesus must be investigated closely, for in each instance, different aspects of faith are revealed. This Samaritan's faith was expressed in two ways, that he prayed for mercy and he gave thanks for his great gift. Regarding his prayer, we have a detailed interlude to talk about the Jesus prayer and how we should pray it, including praying it for others. Then we link the prayer to thanksgiving, for without the latter, the former withers. As we become aware of how much God's mercy surrounds us and helps us. we thank Him, and seek his mercy even more, for ourselves and others. Our heart becomes softer, and feels the needs of others - our heart becomes like that of Jesus. These two things, seeking God's mercy and thanking him for everything - are required for salvation.

      Gratitude Makes One Whole
      Luke 17-12-19
      2013-12-22
      SYNOPSIS:There is great power and energy in gratitude. It is fundamental part of the Christian life, and absolutely necessity if we are to "be made whole" - and this is the aim and purpose of human life. We look at the two healings in the healing of the ten lepers. All were healed of leprosy but only one was made whole. Let us learn how to inculcate gratitude in practical ways in our life. We also speak briefly on the Jesus prayer and how it should be a model for our prayer.
    • The only Christian life is that which is lived in the heart. (mp3 format)
    • 1 Timothy 1:15-17 : Luke 18:18-27
      2018-12-16
      SYNOPSIS:The words of St. Paul to his son Timothy are an example of living in the heart. The actions of the ruler who followed the external commandments but did not know anything besides them are an example of a man who lives outside of his heart. The Christian life has no power whatsoever if it is not lived in the heart. We examine these positive and negative examples about life in the heart. The person living in his heart understands that " Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief", and that He has "shown forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on Him to life everlasting"and that, in these things, we know everything needful to know how to live, what to think, and who to be in every situation in life.
