In The World

Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Dec 13, 2017

Jesus, the true light, came into the world--but no one recognized Him for who He truly was, nor was He received. But for all who have received Him, we now go out as Lights in His name, that others would recognize Jesus in us and receive Him who is coming!

In 1929, The Saturday Evening Post ran an article on Albert Einstein. It was an interview with this brilliant man.

The Greatest Gift Of All

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Dec 14, 2017

Christmas is a time of sharing presents and each other's company, a time when rifts between family members should be healed. During the WW1 on Christmas Eve the British and Germans stopped killing each other as Christ's message of PEACE prevailed.

THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL. JOHN 1:1-18. The 1914 secret truce between the German and British soldiers has been told many times but it’s certainly worth repeating. In many ways it is surely the miracle of Christmas and its meaning was made manifest in the action of the soldiers who brought to light ...read more

Slapped In The Face With Love Series

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Dec 24, 2017

A sermon about taking Jesus to the party, and why God loves you enough to be born as a baby

One little known fact about Father Christmas - and I am not making this up - is that in the year 325AD he punched someone in the face. I am sure he was very sorry about it afterwards. It certainly flies in the face of Jesus’s teaching about loving your enemies. Father Christmas is best known for ...read more

The Word Became Flesh

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Dec 24, 2017

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Nothing compares to the Incarnation of Christ. Nothing.

If it would help all the dogs in the world to become like men, would you be willing to become a dog? Would ...read more
