    There was no room to be found for Mary and Joseph to stay in Bethlehem? Seriously? You'd think someone would have taken pity on a VERY pregnant woman that day, but no one did. Why not?

    Several years ago, a church held a Christmas pageant with a group of 4 year-olds. Everything went along pretty well until Mary and Joseph “arrived” at the inn. The 4 year-old Joseph asked: “Do you have any room for us?”. “No,” replied the innkeeper, “the inn is full.” “But it’s so cold outside, ...read more

    Are divorce and remarriage okay?

    Introduction Are divorce and remarriage okay?

    Many do not believe in the devil any more. Many choose not to believe. What does the Bible have to say about him and the destruction he wishes to bring to each of our souls?

    This week a friend of mine posted a video on facebook that showed the results of four teens texting while driving. Three of them died and the last one will never be the same again; mentally or physically. Did they know of the dangers of texting while driving? Did they just ignore the danger ...read more

     | 6,138 views

    The Great Commission invites us, amazingly, into the joy of sharing faith and, by God's power and grace, having a real impact on the future population of heaven. Weird but true.

    Let me ask a couple questions about our home planet and its population to begin today. How many nations/countries are in the world? Anyone want to guess? Ballpark? 196 [ (not incl.

     | 24,088 views

    Jesus said He came to set us free from sin. But do we all sin? If I’m free from sin, does that mean I’m not in slavery? And, if I’m free from sin, does that mean I’ll come to a point in my life when I never sin again?

    OPEN: As Americans we enjoy a number of basic freedoms that very few people on the face of the earth enjoy. What I’d like to do now is ask you what freedoms you know that we have as Americans? (The audience responded with a number of liberties we have) Of course many of us knew of our freedom to ...read more

    Peter's confession that Jesus is the Son of God leads to the consideration of who we might say Christ is to us when He is either silent, seemingly late, or tells us "No."

     | 10,177 views

    Most nativity scenes portray a cute scene of a happy little family, & friendly visitors. That's the way we like to think of it, but it's hardly realistic. When we pause at the manger with this image, we maybe forget that this infant was born to die.

    Every year, at about this time, my dad has this tradition of getting out old home movies.
