Herod, Dead Babies, And Hope Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 23, 2017

Feast of the Holy Innocents 2017 Reformation/Revolution I don’t think it is possible to read or hear the account of the flight into Egypt and the intentional murder of an unknown number of children by Herod dispassionately.

Jesus: The Destitute One Series

Death Comes First

Contributed by Gary Christensen on Mar 9, 2016

We think that Life comes first, and death follows. But, think of death happening first, then Life follows. It happens when we first believe. We were DEAD in sin, until God brings us the word of LIFE. The butterfly seems to DIE, then comes back to LIFE!
