    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,495 views

    From the story of Simeon and Anna in Luke 2:21 – 40 we learn: never to lose faith in the promises of God; God only reveals himself to hearts that are open to receive him; we are not ready to die until we have met Christ as Savior and Lord..

Luke 2:21-40 This beautiful part of the Christmas story centers around two people named Simeon and Anna. In verses 25-32 we ...read more

    How To Have A Merry Christmas

     | 12,391 views

    We face the danger of taking the Merry aspect of Christmas for granted.

    For most, Americans in particular, Christmas is the most artificial time of the year. Everything about it reeks of artificial, from the fake Christmas tree all the way to our Christmas greeting, “Merry Christmas,” and all the singing of Christmas carols. Few people really mean what they sing. All ...read more

    The Heart Goes Home For Christmas.

    Contributed by John Bartol on Jan 26, 2013
     | 5,285 views

    When Jesus came to this world there was no room for him. But, because he came, now Heaven's Gate is open wide so that whosoever will may come. A more generous, open hearted, inclusive invitation has never been extended.

    The Heart Goes Home For Christmas. (Suitable for Christmas Eve). Just about everyone wants to go home for Christmas. There may be extra time and expense involved, but it is certainly worth it all. No one tries any harder to make it happen than Mom and Dad, because parental love has a way of ...read more

    Depression can overcome anyone at any time. But if we turn to the love of Jesus that is a cure that works in any season. And God's love is so abundant, so truthful, so freely given we can share this love to all who may feel down and out.

    "After Christmas... Now What?”

    Contributed by Bubot Parago on Dec 25, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,554 views

    The purpose of these Christmas stories, as recorded by the authors of the gospels, is to remind us that the silent, holy night of unnatural calm that we celebrate on Christmas is really the point of the eye of the storm.

    The Christmas season would be over next week.... “AFTER THE ADVENT SEASON... NOW WHAT?” Let’s follow the footsteps of the Family as they continue their trek to God’s plans and purposes.... for His Glory.... It is also in great relation and realization for everyone of us here as we enter 2019.... ...read more
