    The purpose of apologetics is to present biblical answers to the questions of Origin, Meaning, Morality, Destiny. If you can answer the questions of these issues you have presented a worldview This morning I’d like to focus only on one aspect of this collection of four questions-the ...read more

    It's easy to be disillusioned about God when he doesn't do what we expect but in reality we are disillusioned about ourselves and don't really know God.

    Have you ever been disillusioned? What does it mean? To open someone’s eyes; to shatter someone’s illusions; to pop or break someone’s bubble and to prick or put a pin in someone’s balloon. This expression refers to the fragile nature of both soap bubbles and human ...read more

    Wise Men Sought Jesus And They Still Do

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 18, 2011

     | 5,111 views

    A short talk for our all-age Nativity service, a week before Christmas. This year I focused on the phrase WISE MEN SOUGHT JESUS - THEY STILL DO. I remember seeing that on a car sticker 30 years ago.

    Wise men sought Jesus and they still do. Although the Bible never calls them Wise men, the Magi (2:1) were non-Jewish, religious men from the east who studied the stars. The Bible doesn’t tell us how many Magi came to worship Jesus, but they were Magi plural, not single; and they were indeed wise. ...read more
