Why Bethlehem?

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 10, 2024

WHY BETHLEHEM? Mic. 5:2 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A 3 year old was helping his mother unpack their nativity set. He announced each piece as he unwrapped it from its tissue paper. “Here’s a donkey!” “Here’s a king!” 2. When he got to an infant molded into a manger, he proclaimed, “Here’s Baby ...read more
