The True Gift Of Christmas

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Dec 8, 2022

Christmas is the celebration of a Child. Christ coming to Earth was not to establish the economic madness we call Christmas. It was to crush the head of that old serpent, Satan. It was to break the chains that enslave you. It was the fulfillment of the promise God made in the book of Genesis.

Isaiah 9:6-7, "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His Name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne ...read more

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Dec 11, 2022

If you leave the Christmas story in Matthew and Luke, you do not recognize how long God was planning and preparing and moving all of the pieces of the world in order for us to receive the greatest gift that has ever been given to man, which is Jesus Christ, His Son.

We often sell ourselves short when we say to each other simple clichés, like, "Jesus is the reason for the season". Now, I'm not shaming anybody who's used it because it works at this time of year. But the reality of it is, is Jesus is not the reason for the season. Jesus is ...read more

Where It All Began

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Dec 13, 2022

The Christmas story is one of love, grace, mercy and blessing. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, born of a virgin, laid in a manger, wrapped in swaddling clothes, declared by angels and a new star as being born. Jesus Christ is born! The Gospel has come at last!

Before I get into this message today, I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to read the sermons God has laid on my heart to share with all of you all over the world. God has opened this door to me and has sent me here to preach His Gospel to all the world. Thank you for taking the time to ...read more

He That Winneth Souls Is Wise No. 13

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

A concept in soul winning that you hear very little about that enables Christians to be successful soul winners involves their becoming like the Master Soul Winner - Jesus Christ!
