    In his first letter to Timothy, Paul appears to cite a hymn to extol Christ as Lord. The message, designed to be delivered on Christmas Eve, explores this hymn as Paul presented it.

    By common confession, the secret of our godly worship is great: In flesh was he revealed to sight, kept righteous by the Spirit’s might, adored by angels singing. To nations was he manifest, believing souls found peace and rest, our Lord in heaven reigning! [1], [2] From earliest days, the ...read more

    Friends, God has given the perfect Christmas gift, and now it is our turn to give back to Him.

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 5, 2024
     | 888 views

    Isaiah's writings contain numerous references to the rule and person of God's Messiah. There are two specific passages worth examining. The first deals with His rule as King. The other deals with the righteous kingdom He will create and rule over forever in peace and joy.

    There are verses in the Bible that bring joy and peace to the troubled soul. There are verses which give us the assurance that the promises of God are true and faithful. There are those verses which give us the affirmation that God has given us mercy and salvation we do not deserve, yet in HIs ...read more

    Though we are not a post-exilic community, like the one in today’s text we too, want relief from our disasters of this tumultuous year. The one thing that quarantine has in common with being exiled is isolation. ... We too, want God to act and fix things.

    Recently I have been fascinated listening to the testimonies of Jews who have come to know Jesus as their Savior. Isaiah 9:6 speaks of Jesus but the Jews claim that it is about Hezekiah. Is there a connection between Isaiah 9 and the New Testament?

    There are people like those in Malachi’s audience in every generation. They don’t make preparation a priority. These were covenant people who were side-stepping their covenant.
