    In the middle of winter, we need Christmas, but in our spiritual winter, we need Jesus and all he brings to us.

    Always Winter, Never Christmas Isaiah 64:1-9 Charlie Brown says that Christmas is at the top of a long hill, and I think that’s a pretty good description of how Christmas seems when you are young. I know it was that way with me. December 25 was the most highly-anticipated day of the year as far ...read more

    Christmas lessons from the genealogy of Christ.

    Open your Bibles in Matthew chapter one verse one. Yes, you heard me right. Matthew chapter one verse one.
