Sermons From the Mount

Douglas Throop takes us from Paul's midnight vision in Acts to Lydia, the first Christian in Europe, and onward to Ethel, a 90-year-old woman who found her final breath sacred. Women who refuse to be silenced lead quiet revolutions based on intuition, courage, and strength. I...

Ang Sayaw ng Santatlo Rev. Dr. Douglas Throop Ang mensahe ngayong linggo ay bumabagsak sa Araw ng mga Ama at Linggo ng Santatlo — isang araw ng balanse, ng pagiging kabilang, at ng mahiwagang galaw ng Diyos sa ating paligid.

He draws a line between the sacred and the ordinary, from St. Patrick’s cl...

Si Juyoung Lee ay isang Master of Divinity student sa Dio at kasalukuyang nag-aaral para sa ordinasyon sa United Church of Canada. Lumaki siya sa Seoul sa loob ng isang konserbatibong ebanghelikal na simbahan at minsan nang nangakong hindi siya papasok sa ministeryo.

Rev. Dr. R. Douglas Throop reimagines the post-resurrection “breakfast on the beach” passage as a politically charged act of resistance, rather than as a quaint, rustic scene. As the Disciples were fishing in Roman times and today struggle for Indigenous fishing rights, Throop portrays them as “poachers” in occupation lakes, risking arrest for their food. He explores how Jesus overturned the imper...

Ipinapakita muli ni Rev. Dr. R. Douglas Throop ang kwento ng “almusal sa tabing-dagat” pagkatapos ng muling pagkabuhay ni Jesus bilang isang pampolitikang kilos ng paglaban, at hindi lamang bilang isang simpleng tagpo sa probinsya.

Dr. Douglas Throop ang mga alaala mula sa Quebec City, ang kasaysayang tensyon ng imperyo, at ang mapanlikhang teksto ng Pahayag 21 upang talakayin ang wika ng kadakilaan.
