Wrapped - Pt. 3 - In Hope Series

Contributed by Steve Ely on Dec 25, 2016

Even if the bow is picked to match exactly. Even if every seam is exact. Most of the time all the ...read more

First Light Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Dec 18, 2018

Blessed For Life Series

Contributed by Dr. Lewis W. Gregory on Dec 14, 2024

Mary, the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, was just like many of us—a person of low estate. Actually, all humans are of low estate compared to God. Yet, in spite of Mary's poor and obscure background, God chose to bless her to be the mother of our Lord.

“And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. And Mary said, My soul does magnify the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior. For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all ...read more

The Word Became Flesh

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Dec 24, 2024

At the beginning of John's gospel John makes many striking claims about Jesus. One is that he was Logos, the word. Another is that he became flesh. Isn't 'the flesh' bad? Why did Jesus take on flesh? And should we do anything?

At Christmas, Christians think of the fact that Jesus, though he was God, became man. But John expresses things differently. Rather than saying that God became man, John tells us that THE WORD – in Greek, Logos – became FLESH. John starts his gospel by talking about ‘Logos’ – the word. John ...read more
