From The Pulpit To The Streets (stdavidsacna)

There is indeed no other name under the heavens by which we are saved. Emboldened by his encounter with the living Christ, Peter, who had formerly denied, declared that there is salvation in no other but only in Christ.

"Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. - Philippians 2:5-8 (NKJV)

Christ taught and exemplified life that stems from death and salvation that begins with sacrifice. We invite you to learn from the ONE who taught and lived a life of surrender; and following in His footsteps may we find the fullness of His presence.

"O to grace how great a debtorDaily I’m constrained to be!Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,Bind my wandering heart to Thee." - Robert Robinson, 1758

Like the houses we live in, our very lives require a "spring cleaning," a time of examining every nook and cranny. May we allow Christ to deterge every impurity and lead us into renewal and restoration.

O Love that wilt not let me go,I rest my weary soul in thee;I give thee back the life I owe,That in thine ocean depths its flowMay richer, fuller be. - George Matheson

In Christ's overcoming the Tempter we have not just an example but also encouragement. We invite you to listen to Fr. Jose Poch's sermon on Mark 1:9-13
