    While our lives may be fragile and fleeting, the Word of God is enduring and eternal. Let us explore how this truth is meant to anchor us in faith, stir us to worship, and compel us to live purposefully.

     | 943 views

    An examination of epiphany through the visit of the magi to the toddler Jesus. Their gifts stimulate us to living out our Christian lives in this new year by living holy lives that glorify God.

    The earliest reference to Epiphany as a Christian feast was in AD 361, by Ammianus Marcellinus. The holiday is listed twice, which suggests a double feast of baptism and birth. The baptism of Jesus was originally assigned to the same date as the birth because Luke 3:23 was read to mean that Jesus ...read more

    Paul faced numerous challenges and spiritual battles. Despite the relentless attacks from hell, he remained steadfast, tearing down strongholds and liberating the oppressed. His story is a testament to enduring faith and resilience, reminding us that we too can stand strong amidst trials.

    One of the things I really love about the Bible is when it gives us a deep look into the lives of its characters. One person who captures my attention is the Apostle Paul. Today, we will take a peek into his life and discover some valuable lessons. In this passage, Paul is on a ship as a prisoner, ...read more
