“The woman with the issue of blood; Jesus calls her "Daughter" and affirms that her faith has made her well.”
“Jesus healed her from seven demons before she began to follow him.”
A Wednesday Mass celebrating the memorial of St. Mary Magdalene. Fr. Enrique Salvo gives thanks to online parishioners, proclaims the readings (including the Song of Songs and the Gospel of John), and preaches on Mary Magdalene’s healing, conversion, courageous witness to the Resurrection, and her commission to proclaim the good news.
“Reference to Mary Magdalene, out of whom seven demons had gone.”
The sermon teaches that shame is a core human wound—both psychological and social—and that Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection uniquely remove shame by restoring dignity and belonging. Practical freedom comes not from self-help or moralism alone but from encountering the gospel, receiving mercy, practicing confession and community, and participating in the church’s sacraments.
“Mary Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, is met by Jesus and no longer defined by that past.”
Jon Tyson preaches that the gospel frees people from the power of their past by practicing a biblical form of 'forgetting,' embracing a redeemed time orientation, and living from the future God promises. Using Paul as an example and drawing on psychological insights about time perspective, he calls listeners to surrender their guilt and shame to Jesus and press toward the new life God offers.
“Joanna, the wife of Chusa, Herod's household steward, Susanna, and many others who were contributing their material support from their private means (these rich women ministered to him of his substance).”
A Bible study teaching that generosity must be a cultivated culture in apostolic churches, rooted first in surrender to Christ. The sermon unpacks 2 Corinthians 8 and Acts to define four dimensions of giving—tithe (firstness), offerings (willingness/sacrifice), benevolence (body-conscious care), and shared resources (internal economic support)—and gives practical safeguards and applications for building a generous, mission-ready church.
“like it says in Luke 8 where it was on good ground maybe in one season but in recent months recent years you ask yourself what happened to that seed”
A Generation One youth service calling attendees to pursue Jesus wholeheartedly — to make Him Lord of their lives and finances, release distractions, reconsecrate their hearts, and finish the year strong for God.
“Jesus speaks of the word (gospel) like a seed sown into the human heart that, when the soil is good, will grow and bear fruit a hundredfold.”
Using 1 Thessalonians 1, the sermon argues that genuine revival is visible by the fruit the gospel produces: a faith that works (active, reputation-bearing witness), a love that labors (sweat, tears, costly service), and a hope that endures (joyful perseverance rooted in Christ’s return). The preacher urges believers to test revival by these practical evidences rather than by emotion alone.
“Luke 8 says it's the seed that grows life.”
A call for a 'Bible revival' that urges personal and family re-engagement with Scripture — affirming the Bible as the inspired, authoritative guide, diagnosing cultural trends that weaken Bible engagement, and inviting people to receive, study and be shaped by God's Word.
“In Luke 8 it actually says the seed is the word of God.”
Pastor Shane Abbott uses the Parable of the Sower to show how small ‘seeds’—words, observations, and stories—can grow into massive division if left unchecked. He identifies four heart postures, contrasts seeds of God vs. seeds of the enemy, gives practical steps (go to the person, 24-hour rule, pause/redirect/clarify/release), calls for repentance and reconciliation, and invites people to lay down offense and sow into kingdom work.
“Parable of the sower — 'the seed is the word of God.'”

Luke 8:18 -- "Take heed, therefore, how ye hear." The occasion of our Lord's giving this caution, was this: Perceiving that much people were gathered together to hear him out of every city, and knowing (for he is God, and knoweth all things) that many, if…

A sermon on Mark 4 emphasizing kingdom principles: the parable of the sower and the seed that grows. The pastor teaches that the 'seed' is the Word/what we say — spoken faith and repeated confession plant truth in the heart, producing spiritual fruit. He applies the parable to hearing rightly, guarding against cares and love of money, evangelism, stewardship, healing, family life, and practical kingdom living.
“Reverend Cutter preached about the demoniac who cried out in his torment.”

“When he sent the demons into the pigs; the reason the pigs ran off the cliff is because the spirit that was in the pigs was the same spirit that was in the man.”

He gives practical steps for deliverance: identify and cut off 'dead' doors, be honest about struggles, remain in Christ's presence to maintain freedom, and testify to others.
“The demoniac, who was chained and untouchable, is found 'sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind' and is sent back to witness in the region.”

“Reference to Jairus asking Jesus to heal his daughter, who dies and is subsequently raised by Jesus.”
A sermon using the Jairus story to teach that God's timing often requires patient, persistent faith: God may delay even when it's 'your turn,' but He is present, able, and working—so trust, stay, and measure struggles by the strength of the Savior.
“Jairus boldly coming to Jesus on behalf of his dying daughter.”

“There was also a woman with the issue of blood... she pressed through the crowd and then she touched him and then she got healed.”
Sermon addressing the 'danger of familiarity' with God — when routine, complacency, or presumption toward God and spiritual things dulls awe, blocks God’s power, and prevents miracles. The preacher warns against taking God for granted, becoming offended by humble vessels, and losing first love; calls people to return to reverent, expectant faith and invites an altar response.
“The woman who had the issue of blood... grabbed the fringes that hang off of his prayer robe.”
Bishop Joseph Garlington proclaims that a season of God's favor (kairos) is here now and urges the congregation to recognize it, declare it, be specific and persistent in asking, steward generously, and respond in faith — including salvation and Holy Spirit infilling — while celebrating the commissioning of their pastor as Bishop Elect.
