Scriptures should always be looked at with a fresh set of eyes so that new insights can be seen.

I’ve heard the story before. I mean I know it backwards and forwards, I can probably tell it in my sleep. Do I have really have to hear it again, let alone preach on it?

Joseph's Monologue - A Christmas Play Series

Contributed by Eduardo Quintana on Oct 29, 2021

This is a powerful Christmas monologue. Christmas from the eyes of Joseph. A proper production can be very powerful.

The Epiphany Of The Lord- Be A Star

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 19, 2024

“You will see his glory within you… shone anew upon the eyes of our mind!”

To be a star is not the same thing as being called a star. E.g., The leader of the patriots in the second Jewish War, A.D. 130-135, Bar Kosba, ...read more
