Jesus Is God

Contributed by Don Baggett on Dec 6, 2008

the story of Christmas is that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory. The Word is the outward expression of God. The Baby in the manger was God made flesh.

Actually, I think there is a fine line between what’s pleasing and not pleasing in the way we celebrate. ...read more

The Origin Of Christ

Contributed by Ron Macarthur on Jul 20, 2007

This teaching shows us where Jesus came from and His relationship with God the Father. It will give some startling information to many. It is from the Gospel of John.
