The First Evangelistic Sermon

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jun 15, 2023

Raising children today is more complicated, not only because they live in an era of modern technology or a digital era in which everything is computerized, but because we compete with the world of entertainment, public schools, and even governments who have and propagate values different from ours.

The Wonders Of His Love Series

Contributed by Dorothy Lam on Jan 11, 2023

How did Jesus coming as a baby mean that there would be peace on earth and goodwill for us? My journey through Advent has brought me back to the manger where God shows up in the flesh, where the God-Man is all potential, just lying there. It's an offer. It's an invitation.

Babies change everything, or at least a lot of things change for a family when a baby is born. For mothers, a selfless devotion to her child kicks in. Life revolves around what the baby needs, not her own needs. New fathers find a place in their hearts that was not there before. A sense of pride ...read more
