In the first of a series of "Fireside Chats" that have been planned, Father Michael sat down with Mary Maeder for a discussion on the Kerygma.
Father Michael and Mary Maeder discuss the topic of Evangelization.
In this first of three talks, after briefly explaining the work of ACTS XXIX, Fr. John offers us an overview of the core of the gospel message, and then calls our attention to the indescribable power and majesty of the God who created everything out of nothing and out of love.
In this second of three talks, Fr. John turns our attention to “the bad news,” the explanation for why it is that everything is so messed up, and how utterly hopeless our race would be if God had not acted in the Person of His Son, Jesus.
In this third and final talk, Fr. John helps us understand why Jesus came, what He was doing on the cross on that day we call Good Friday, and what difference it all makes in our lives right now. Finally, he invites us to surrender anew, or for the first time, to this saving God, and to put all our gifts towards building for His kingdom until He comes again in glory and restores all of creation.
