    This time of year, we get excited and touched by Baby Jesus in a cradle but you can’t separate the cradle from the cross. This gift of Jesus comes with a sacrificial cost. A lot of us understand the cradle but we fail to connect the cradle with the cross.

    The Gift with a Cost Isaiah 53:1-12 Christmas has become the #1 self-focused consumer day in America. It’s so interesting that Good Friday leads into Easter and Black Friday leads us into the Christmas holidays. The church needs to lead a movement of conspiracy to reclaim Christmas from ...read more

     | 5,973 views

    The Hope of our souls arrived for us all in the person of Jesus Christ, God’s own Son. God did in fact answer Isaiah’s plea to "pull the Heavens apart and come down to us;" for the Heaven’s themselves were rendered to make possible the birth of Christ.
