    Because we cannot ascend to God (which is attempted during the Christmas season), God descends to us, and gives us meaning and joy.

    Luke 2:1-20 Look Into The Face of Christ, and See the Heart of God. Of all the holidays during the calendar year, both secular and religious, I would describe Christmas as a high-effort holiday. We have lots of low-effort holidays, like Memorial Day or Labor Day. How much effort do those ...read more

    This sermon will teach that the level of understanding of the will of God a person has determines not only their joy in serving HIM, but also the severity of their discipline from HIM.

    41. Then Peter said unto HIM, “Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?” 42. And the Lord said, “Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? 43. Blessed is that servant whom his ...read more

    Do we really want to sustain our life -- filled with contentment and joy -- not just for forty, or eighty, or longer years, but even for for eternity?
