A look at the paradoxical qualities of Jesus - baby and Savior, Lion and Lamb, etc.
Superman. What’s not to like about him? The man of Steel! No one can beat Superman – unless they have Kryptonite. But, without that, he’s all steel. And we like that about Superman, but there’s something else about Superman we like – Clark Kent. We like that he can also be that dorky, ...read more

A look at Jesus as a Rock - transition into a Christmas series of OT snapshots of Jesus
Wherever you’re at in life this week, and this Thanksgiving, I hope you’re able to thank the Lord for some blessings He’s given to you.
