The Sacrament of Confession - Father Larry Richards

Father Larry Richards talks about the sacrament of confession or reconciliation and its profound effects on the human soul.

John 20:19-23 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you." (20) When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. (21) Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you." (22) And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. (23) If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."

Sola Scriptura and Authority Debate - Fr. Mitch Pacwa and Kenneth Samples

Fr. Mitch Pacwa, debates with Kenneth Samples about "Sola Scriptura" (Bible alone protestant doctrine) and the Authority.

1Ti 3:14-16 I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these instructions to you so that, (15) if I am delayed, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and bulwark of the truth. (16) Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of our religion: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.

2Ti 3:14-17 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it (15) and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings which are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. (16) All scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, (17) that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

Teaching the Big Picture of Salvation History in an Hour - John Bergsma

Dr. John Bergsma guides us through the bible an hour by teaching the big picture of Salvation History.

The Central Focus: Covenant

If you are going to get through the Bible in a short amount of time, for example a RCIA presentation, baptismal catechesis, beginning a bible study, a course in scripture or any other time when you review Salvation History this presentation would be appropriated. In any of those circumstances you don´t want to get through sacred history in a very brief amount of time, and that require focus and so the simplest focus that we´re going to employ is the focus on covenant.

Gen 1:26-28 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth." (27) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (28) And God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth."

Biblical Wisdom for Your Marriage - Kimberly Hahn

Kimberly Hahn, author of the Life Nurturing Love series, speaks on "Chosen and Cherished: Biblical Wisdom for Your Marriage"

Ephesians 5:21-28 Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ. (22) Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord. (23) For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. (24) As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in everything to their husbands. (25) Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, (26) that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, (27) that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. (28) Even so husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
