People Of The First Christmas-Joseph Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 23, 2020

He was a just or righteous man, he obeyed the instructions he received from God, and he also obeyed the command or decree from the Roman emperor when he was told he had to go to Bethlehem, home of ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Jwt Spies on Dec 24, 2020

Hold your Head up the Lord is here.

The Christmas That Wasn't Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 1, 2021

The first Christmas was the Christmas that wasn't--at least in Jerusalem, the city that the Great King and Messiah came to save, and to rule from. Pagan visitors from far away had to tell them of the great thing that had happened in their midst.

3. Pre-Christmas Song Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

Christmas Makes For Pure Christians Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 15, 2021
