    The birth of Jesus Christ was not revealed to kings or rulers. It was not even revealed to the religious elite. • God has decided to announce His coming, the birth of Jesus Christ, to ordinary shepherds out in the fields. • They were probably unlearned, and without status, but they ...read more

    The God Who Gives Life To The Dead

    Contributed by Paul Mulani on Apr 29, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 14,337 views

    Quite often we want God to do new things in our lives. However, many a times God wants to raise the dead, to bring to life what is dead in our lives, and not just give us brand new things. He wants to renew, give life to the dead things in our lives so that they will bring life to the whole person.

    I want to begin by pointing out a correction that Jesus made to Martha's view on resurrection, a mistake that many people make even today. In John 11:40 we read, "Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” That was a kind rebuke. ...read more
