    The colossal structure of Noah's Ark stands on par with the pyramids among ancient wonders. What kept Noah motivated to continue working on the ark for up to 120 years? It was his faith, his fear of the Lord, and his commitment to his loving God.

    Philadelphia always stayed faithful to the Christian faith until the end of its history, a powerful testament to the nature of a church for which Jesus had no admonition nor condemnation. God grant that we, too, may have that faithfulness to the end.

    Preached on the Sunday Following Christmas. King Herod tried to kill the Child Jesus and he is just the tip of the iceberg. All the nations of the world and people without Jesus are in rebellion against God. Why are they in rebellion and what is God reaction to them?

    This is the final message on the “Why’s of Christmas” and perhaps the more difficult to understand. We explored “Why Christmas?” a month ago. Why Jesus had to come and His purpose in coming was to die for our sins. This is why we will be observing the Lord’s Supper today, the last Sunday of the ...read more
