    based on 48 ratings
     | 18,967 views

    We often mess up our Christian lives, not because we are malicious or evil, but because we are frail and needy. We need a power beyond ourselves to win that fight. We need something that is bigger than we are.

    Betwixt and Between As Christians, each of us will experience struggle. We will struggle when we know the right thing to say or do, but we just cannot do it. It may be due to our pride, or a principle, or we are angry, or we just can’t accept a different perspective. We know something is wrong, ...read more

    WORD PLAY One of the great highlights of the Advent season is watching our Sunday School students re-enact the Nativity. I remember as a child myself how on Christmas Eve we would have our Sunday School program, receive our goodie bags and go home to open presents. The Nativity play was a central ...read more

    The Prince of Peace meets with us while we are knee deep in sin and and offers to us not peace without conflict but perfect peace in Him who has paid it all.

Yet we are presented with the Prince of Peace. Surely this is the Christ: that knows no war, has known no hatred, has not hurt, or experienced ...read more
