The Path of the Reformer - Kingdom Finance WarRoom -21 Mar 2025
In this Kingdom Finance WarRoom, William Abraham of The 7000 (www.the7000.com), looks at The Path of the Reformer. Jesus is our example from John 8 - He walked into the scene in His anointing and some believed and others challenged and resisted. Elijah also was challenged by King Ahab who said he was a "troubler of Israel". The Path of the Reformer troubles the evil, idolatrous, economic systems - the process of reformation upsets the economic status quo. We must be clear as to who is the evildoer and troubler! You might cause trouble as a reformer but you...

That is, using an NGO funded by the government to do things that the government could not legally do. Another way of looking at it is to dump large sums of money to NGOs and others outside of government to continue the policies of those no longer in power. It also enables the free flow of funds to far-left organizations and connections opening...

Learning from the True Teacher
English Homily - Fourth Sunday of the Dedication of the Church . . . As the liturgical year concludes, Jesus affirms the authority given to leaders in the Church and clarifies its purpose. In His time, the Pharisees, priests, and teachers held legitimate God-given authority, just as bishops and priests do today. Bishops oversee the Church and protect the faith, while priests administer the sacraments and preach God’s word. These roles serve as bridges, leading us to God as our Father and Christ as our Teacher. Every Christian shares in this responsibility by helping others see and believe in God. This mission is...

Pride — The Root of All Sin
English Homily Second Sunday of Moses - 2024 . . . Pride can be both a virtue and the root of all sin, as seen in Lucifer’s rebellion against God. It manifests in every sin as a rejection of God’s work in us. The Gospel story of Jairus, a powerful synagogue leader, illustrates that true grace comes when we humble ourselves and ask for help. Despite his status, Jairus had to let go of pride and seek Jesus to heal his daughter. This teaches that miracles happen when we acknowledge our need for God. Whether facing addiction, anger, or depression, both prayer and...

Is God Fair?
English Homily - 1st Sunday of Moses . . . The parable seems unfair at first glance, as workers who worked different hours receive the same wage. The vineyard represents our relationship with God, and being called to this relationship is itself the reward. The parable reveals our tendency to view heaven as something earned rather than a free gift. God's grace is given based on our need, not our deeds: "Grace is a response to our need, not our deed". The homily encourages self-reflection on how we respond to others receiving God's grace. It concludes by emphasizing that God's grace is given where the...

Strength or No Strength
English Homily - Third Sunday of the Cross/Sixth of Elijah . . . The verse "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" is highlighted as one of the most famous biblical quotes. The homily contrasts this with Jesus' teaching that without God, we can do nothing, emphasizing the importance of divine strength. St. Paul's warning to "Have NO anxiety about ANYTHING" is presented as crucial for receiving God's strength. Two gospel stories are used to illustrate anxiety: the Canaanite woman worried about her daughter's healing, and the hungry people with Jesus. The homily outlines how anxiety can negatively impact...

Repetition is essential for learning, even if it might seem boring. St. Paul emphasizes the importance of repeating teachings for the safety of his listeners. Jesus expresses frustration with his disciples' lack of faith, highlighting that even small faith (like a mustard seed) can be powerful.Obstacles to faith include expecting perfection, fear of loss, and dwelling on the past.The homily concludes by emphasizing that God doesn't give up on teac...

Judgment: Who and What Matters?
English Homily - Third Sunday of Elijah 2024 . . . This homily discusses the parable of the weeds and the wheat, focusing on judgment and human dignity. Judgment is not simply about declaring who is good or bad. It's difficult to distinguish between "weeds" and "wheat" until harvest time. Judgment is ultimately about who we choose to serve and align ourselves with. The homily concludes by emphasizing that while past actions don't erase our value, future choices define what truly matters to us.

The disciples question Jesus' approach, and he quotes Isaiah, suggesting people are not receiving his message well due to dull hearts. Jesus wants to give "The Word of the Kingdom," which inspires good, guards against sin, and provides strength. The parable illustrates obstacles to receiving God's word, such as rocky ground, thorns, and paths. Jesus is frustrated because he wants to give himself to people, but they are often not present, not serious, or too busy. The homily concludes by remin...

The Bigger Miracle
English Homily - 1st Sunday of Elijah . . . This homily speaks of two miracles from the Gospel: the healing of a blind man and the conversion of Zacchaeus. Everyone has asked God for a miracle at some point in their life. The conversion of Zacchaeus is presented as a miracle, comparable to healing physical blindness. Zacchaeus, a tax collector, was spiritually lost but found salvation through his encounter with Jesus. The homily suggests that Zacchaeus' spiritual transformation might be an even greater miracle than physical healing. It emphasizes that God is continuously working to bring about similar miracles in people's lives today. ...

How to Pray
English Homily - Seventh Sunday of Summer . . . The homily discusses the concept of prayer through the example of two men, highlighting the right approach to prayer as taught by Jesus. It emphasizes that prayer should not be about comparing oneself to others or feeling superior, but about connecting with God and recognizing one's own goodness in God's eyes, independent of others. The story of a man comparing a white house to fresh snow illustrates the idea that true value and joy come from focusing on God and seeking His mercy, rather than on external comparisons.

Cleaning our Guilt
English Homily - Fourth Sunday of Summer . . . The Fourth Sunday of Summer emphasizes repentance and inner transformation. A study showed that lying increases the need to engage in good behavior to alleviate guilt. Jesus teaches that true purity comes from within, not from external rituals or appearances. Our actions and words reflect the state of our hearts, and we must focus on inner renewal through God's grace. Sacraments like baptism and the mass symbolize this inner purification. We are called to align our lives with God's will and seek inner healing to honor God and fulfill our Christian mission.

English Homily Third Sunday of Summer . . . The story from the Gospel highlights a lack of compassion and empathy towards a man blind from birth, with people focusing on blame rather than healing. The disciples and Pharisees are more concerned with fault and punishment than the man's newfound sight. The homily draws a parallel to medical terminology, emphasizing that diagnosis identifies problems but does not provide solutions. It stresses the importance of taking responsibility and action once we "see" the issues. Jesus connects work and light, urging us to act while we can see, focusing on doing God's work rather than...

The Struggle Through The Narrow Door
English Homily: Seventh Sunday of the Apostles . . . Jesus teaches that the path to heaven is not guaranteed by mere association with him or by being in his presence.

This day is a time to dedicate to God, to rest from burdens and work, and to seek healing.

Blessedness—The Path to Happiness
English Homily: Fourth Sunday of the Apostles…Jesus' beatitudes in the Gospel of Luke present a roadmap to blessedness, identifying poverty, hunger, and weeping as paths to joy. These seemingly negative states can lead to inheriting the kingdom of God, satisfaction, and rejoicing. This is possible because Jesus himself experienced these states and was emptied so that we might be filled. The path to blessedness includes loving enemies, doing good, blessing those who curse us, and praying for those who persecive us, mirroring Jesus' own actions.

It emphasizes the necessity of active service, as shown in the parable of the Good Samaritan, and the importance of attentive listening, as demonstrated by Mary. The reflection encourages us to question whether our expressions of love truly meet the needs of those we care for, suggesting that love may require more than we initially think, such as attention, uplifting words, or shared burdens.

English Homily for the Fifth Sunday of the Resurrection . . . The homily emphasizes the importance of perseverance and faith, drawing parallels from the disciples' experience of failure and the call to return to their faith. Despite their expertise in fishing, the disciples faced failure, much like Saul who, despite his righteousness, was wrong. The sermon encourages us to listen to Jesus' suggestions, even in the face of failure or crisis. It suggests that if we feel our faith is hanging by a thread, or if we've tried and failed, we should cast our net once more, following Jesus' guidance.

When designing a church, attention is given to small but crucial details to maintain its sacred nature. Churches are devoid of clocks to emphasize focus on eternal worship.

Faith Like a Child
Homily for the 7th Sunday of Elijah / 5th of the Cross *** Becoming like children is not only a prerequisite for entering the kingdom of heaven but also the way to be the greatest in the kingdom. Children's trust in their parents, their ability to forgive, and their innocence towards evil are qualities that make them suitable for heaven. As adults, we should learn from children and turn away from anxiety, doubt, pride, and evil, and instead embrace trust, forgiveness, and the path to the Heavenly Kingdom.

Misplaced Faith
In this homily, we remember the story of how the disciples failed to expel the demon from the young man which highlights misplaced faith. We often misplace our faith in ourselves and in things other than God. Jesus reminds us how we can move mountains with faith the size of a mustard seed placed in the God of the Universe.

The Biggest Problem in the Church
The homily discusses the significance of the beatitudes as a moral code taught by Jesus. It suggests that the biggest problem in the world and the church is the failure to embody these virtues. The beatitudes are seen as a reflection of Jesus himself and the solution to the world's issues lies in individuals striving to live according to them.

Wheat-in on the World to Change
Third Sunday of Elijah The parable of the wheat and weeds teaches us not to be quick with judgments and to leave judgment to God. We cannot judge the whole person based on partial knowledge. Instead, we should focus on love and mercy, as God does. We should be patient with others and allow them the opportunity to bear fruit.

Sowing Seeds of Faith
In this Gospel, Jesus speaks about the parable of the Sower and identifies four categories of people. He explains that God is endlessly throwing seeds in our life, but we often bring weak soil that does not allow the word of God to take deep roots in our lives. We should strive to be good soil that can bear good fruits in us.

Privilege of Salvation
The story of Zacchaeus teaches us about the danger of entitlement and the importance of seeing our gifts as privileges, not rights. Salvation is a gift, not something we are owed, and we must respond with responsibility and gratitude. The fruit of this response is joy and salvation.

Hope Misplaced
In this reflection on the Gospel of the Seventh Sunday of Summer, the importance of placing hope in God is emphasized through two parables told by Jesus. The danger of placing hope in oneself is highlighted, and the need for humility and dependence on God is emphasized. The cure for this thinking is found in recognizing one's own sinfulness and asking for God's mercy. Only then can hope be properly ordered in God and not in oneself.

Where are you? 🎶
The Gospel of the Sixth Sunday of Summer tells the story of ten lepers who were healed by Jesus, but only one returned to give thanks. The message is that we should not be transactional in our relationships with others and with God. We should be aware of our need for God and always give thanks to Him.

To Do, or Not To Do…
In this Liturgical Season of Summer, the church invites us to meditate on repentance. Today's Gospel teaches us that sin is not just limited to what we do, but also what we fail to do. The sin of the rich man was not that he was rich, but that he never noticed Lazarus. We must be ready to listen to the Scriptures and answer the call to do what we are supposed to do.

The Pause Button
Feast of the Transfiguration celebrates the moment when Jesus reveals his divinity to Peter, James, and John on Mount Tabor. While Peter wants to stay and extend the moment, Jesus reminds him that glory comes with suffering and commitment. The path to glory is not on pause on top of the mountain, but through the suffering and pain of our daily life. We are reminded that we are destined for glory through our own way of the cross.

Does God Listen To Sinners?
English Homily: Third Sunday of Summer In the Gospel, Jesus heals a man who was blind from birth and the man gives testimony to the miracle. The man defends Jesus by saying that God does not listen to sinners and that Jesus must be from God. The purpose of prayer is not to manipulate God, but to conform to His will and change ourselves. Prayer changes us to become worshipers of God and do His will, allowing the blindness of our souls to be peeled away.

Our Far Countries
In the liturgical season of summer, the church invites us to meditate on repentance and the story of mankind falling into sin. The gospel reminds us that if our satisfaction is not in honoring God's commands and being close to Him in His Church, we will always be tired, lonely, and restless. The homily encourages us to understand that we are all guilty of seeking rest in the wrong places and to not lose hope, for God wishes to clothe us with his robes of Glory and feed us with Himself which never fails to satisfy our restless hearts.

Sit Down, Be Humble
Homily First Sunday of Summer (Nosardil) In this homily, the Deadly Sin of Pride is explored, with an emphasis on how it can manifest in different ways in each person. The parable of taking the lowest seat at a marriage feast is used as a warning against exalting oneself and thinking that one deserves heaven. The homily offers three ways to combat pride: acknowledging one's own pride, escaping the competition of comparison, and giving glory to God.

Wounded Thomas
English Homily for the Memorial of St Thomas the Apostle - Fr. Peter Patros On the Memorial of Saint Thomas the Apostle, we reflect on his hesitation to believe in the resurrection of Christ and how it represents the wounds of those who have been let down. It took someone who was wounded to heal him, and the healing comes from a relationship with the resurrected and wounded Christ who comes to us in our woundedness to be transformed.

Surrendering to God?
Homily Fr. Peter Patros for the 5th Sunday of the Apostles Jesus teaches the Christian practice of surrendering to God, who wants to pour out blessings upon us. We often fight God by trying to control our lives, but we must surrender our needs, enemies, and worries to Him. With surrender, we have our lives in the hands of a loving God who knows what we need before we ask.

Blind Leaders and Fatherhood
English Homily for the 4th Sunday of the Apostles - Fr. Peter Patros On Father's Day, we celebrate and remember all fathers who sacrifice to lead their families, both physical and spiritual fathers. The father is the head of the family, providing assurance, safety, and dignity. However, fathers can be blinded, and we need to be better for our families and children. We must pray and support fathers to become the leaders they are called to be, and keep our eyes open on Jesus to fulfill God's will.

EL SENTIDO DE LA VIDA: "Otra vez sopa"
Generación va, y generación viene; mas la tierra siempre permanece. Sale el sol, y se pone el sol, y se apresura a volver al lugar de donde se levanta. El viento tira hacia el sur, y rodea al norte; va girando de continuo, y a sus giros vuelve el viento de nuevo. Los ríos todos van al mar, y el mar no se llena; al lugar de donde los ríos vinieron, allí vuelven para correr de nuevo. (EC.1:4-7 RVR60)
