    The birth of Jesus Christ represents a gift of great value, but one which must be opened and received.

    Christmas is a time of giving. And that means Christmas is a time of shopping. Ever since the wise men from the east showed up at the stable carrying gold, frankincense, and myrrh, people have been exchanging gifts at Christmas. Of course, it’s much more complicated today than it was for the wise ...read more

    What does it mean to be "bless-ED?" How one becomes truly happy.

    Psalm 1 4th Sunday in Lent Psalm 1 would fit well in the book of Proverbs, with its didactic tone and its contrast of the righteous and the wicked.

    Jesus is completely victorious over sin and death

    Are you a winner or a loser? We all want to be winners, don’t we?

Nike had a slogan a couple of years ago that reflected this attitude: "second ...read more

    The Biblical metaphor of Jesus being the cornerstone which the builders rejected conveys the understanding that without Jesus we can do nothing (John 15:5).

    THE WICKED TENANTS Text: Matthew 21:33-46 In modern day, we tend to think of a cornerstone as a stone that is inscribed and placed in the corner of the foundation of a building that marks the beginning of the building. The way that the Bible uses the word cornerstone means much more than ...read more
