The Coming Of The Messiah Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Dec 21, 2008

When was Jesus born? No, not on December 25.

Faith In God PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 28, 2025

God’s faithfulness endures through our doubts, fears, and failures; He calls us to trust, obey, and pray as He fulfills His promises in our lives.

Some feel like the calendar keeps turning while the promise still tarries. If that’s you, welcome. You’re in good company with a man and a woman who learned what ...read more
