A Christmas Tree In Bethlehem Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 19, 2010

God planted a Christmas tree in Bethlehem. But it was a differnent kind of tree than the one folks often decorate and place in their homes for Christmas.

Back in 2008 an Englishman named Greig Howe bought a 35-foot tall Christmas tree for his house. Now that’s a pretty big tree. And you’d expect that Mr. Howe must then have a fairly large house. But he didn’t. His was a two story dwelling that was only 30 feet tall. So, did he just put the tree ...read more

Sermon # 41 - Remain In God's Grace - Uproot Bitterness Series

Do we value the grace of God, and how can we continue in the amazing grace that God has lavished on us? Can bitterness hinder us from obtaining God’s grace? Read on to find the answers to these questions.

Raising Boys To Be Men

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 22, 2021
