God's Gift To Us: A Christmas Message Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Dec 22, 2021

No one lobbied Him as you would a senator. No one petitioned Him, as might your boss or your teacher. And no one solicited Him to do this as you might barter with someone in the marketplace. None of that was necessary for God, for the Father willingly offered up His one and only Son as a gift.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours! It’s at Christmastime that we give gifts, and we receive gifts. This is why retailers are so happy with Christmas in a way they’re not happy with the Fourth of July, for example or Easter. At the other holidays, we don’t give gifts like we do at Christmas. ...read more

What The Bible Teaches About Praye

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 13, 2025

During the days of the apostle Paul, there were no Bible colleges and seminaries as we have today to train young ministers as we have.

Illus: When a young man felt God was calling him into the ministry, we take it for granted that if he can, he will go to Bible college and seminary and get all the training that is available. But those who start late in life into the ministry they are not able to do this because they already have ...read more

Peace At Christmas Series

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Dec 13, 2025

The Heart of Christmas: Peace proclaims that true, lasting peace is not found in circumstances but is announced at the manger, accomplished at the cross, and displayed through God’s reconciled people who live as peacemakers in a broken world through faith in Jesus Christ.

Christmas—with all its tinsel, decorations, presents, food, and gatherings with family and friends—is truly a remarkable time of year. For a moment, it almost feels as though we are being invited to step outside the weight of our daily realities and taste the love and joy we long ...read more
