    As Christians we are to be the temple of God - with the Holy Spirit residing in us. What do we place on our tables? Would Jesus be tempted to take out the whip?

  • Christmas Significa Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 11, 2021
     | 2,720 views

    The real beauty and power of Christmas is how it is as mundane as it is holy, secular as it is sacred, temporal as it is eternal, physical as it is spiritual, worldly as it is heavenly … and this is by design.

    Today’s scripture reading reminds me of Christmas hymns like “Angles We Have Heard on High” in which the angels “sweetly sing o’er the plans” (UMH, verse 1; p.238) or “Hark! the Herald Angels Sing” … “glory to the newborn King” (UMH, verse 1; p. 240). Songs like these beautifully capture the drama ...read more

  • The Holy Innocents

    based on 15 ratings
     | 25,476 views

    This jarring episode is just as much a part of the Christmas season as the manger scene. Though grim, the fate of the Innocents shows us how and why we share the hope they had in Christ’s second advent

    When Ananias and Sapphira hatched the plot to deceive the apostles and the church they never suspected that their infamous deed would be retold over the centuries to follow. May it be a lesson to us all.

    A Chilling Day of Giving Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … John 14:23-24 “Jesus said, ‘If anyone loves Me, he will obey My teaching. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make our home with him. “He who does not love Me will not obey My teaching. ...read more

  • Joseph The Holy Man Series

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Dec 9, 2013
     | 5,139 views

    Not much is said about Joseph the husband of Mary in the Holy Bible. But the simplicity of his story in Matthew 1 can lead to some conclusions indicating that he was a man who loved God and had amazing character traits! PTL!!

    How do you react when something totally unexpected and earth shattering happens in your life? We can learn a lot from how Joseph responded to Mary’s unexpected pregnancy. Matthew 1:18-25 “This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married ...read more
