    To so many, the mystery of this event brings a magic to their celebration like none other. Let’s unwrap the greatest Christmas gift ever given and discover the REAL REASON for the SEASON... Why was Jesus Born?

There is a much deeper meaning, a much more fulfilling notion than that of a fat, bearded man on a sleigh. It is the birth of the Christ child: the true ...read more

    Undoubtedly everyone has heard the story of Jabez. We are not told anything remarkable about Jabez other than that he prayed. The only way for anyone to be truly great is by seeking God's will, and to do that one must pray earnestly and fervently.

    Undoubtedly everyone has heard the story of Jabez. There have been countless sermons, articles, opinions stated, and books covering the topic of the prayer of Jabez. I am not wanting to add to that list but as I was researching for a sermon out of the book of 1 Chronicles, I landed upon this ...read more
