"What If No One Told The Story?"

Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2014

So God entrusted the greatest message ever sent from heaven to a bunch of smelly, uncouth shepherds. It shouldn’t surprise us because from the beginning of time he has come to lift up those who have found themselves at the bottom of the ladder.

One was taken with church members asking then which character in the Christmas story they most identified with. Mary? Joseph? The shepherds? The wise men?

More Precious Than Gold

Contributed by Antonius Fu on May 8, 2023

By God's grace, we receive the faith to believe in Him. And by His protection, when our faith is tested, it produces the purity of life. A life with a new quality, a life into a living hope and an inheritance kept for us in Heaven, this is a new life that is more precious than gold.

Today we are going to meditate on God's word taken from I Peter 1:3-9. with the topic More precious than gold.
