Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jun 7, 2022

Introduction: The end of any project, whether a report, book manuscript, or even messages like these are always bittersweet, in my opinion.

Providence - God's Ongoing Work

Contributed by Todd Catteau on Feb 22, 2022

Fourth Sunday Of Advent, Year A

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Dec 2, 2019

The same sign given to Ahaz and Joseph is given to you and me. "The virgin has conceived and has given birth to a Son. And He is Emmanuel. God with us." His name is Jesus.

The Man Behind The Manger

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 18, 2019
