     | 1,276 views

    God gave us a gift in His Son. That gift must be taken out of the "box" and utilized in order to get the full benefit of the gift. Many Christians keep Jesus in a box where He is not allowed to operate freely in their lives.

The title of my message today is “The Gift Is Not The Box” and I want to focus your attention on spiritual maturity. Proverbs 20:11, from the New American Standard Bible, says, ...read more

    During the Christmas season, we find ourselves in a deficit of joy. Isaiah describes finding joy in the desert . . . perhaps we are seeking joy in the wrong places.

    How many of you are just absolutely overflowing with joy right now? Let’s be honest with each other, OK? Is there even one person here who can truthfully say, I’m so overflowing with joy I can hardly contain myself? Just one? Would you like to know how to get that kind of joy in your life? ...read more

    The disciples were confused and didn’t really believe the resurrection. Yet in each gospel account Christ gave them proof so they could believe. What proof do we need to really believe what we say we believe?
