Jacob’s Sorrows Series

You read that story to a child and with that ending you close the book feeling good. The Bible does not give us a, they lived ...read more

The Man Behind The Manger

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 18, 2019

Harassed For Jesus Series

Contributed by Fred Sigle on May 20, 2024

A study of the Beatitudes. Jesus begins His sermon on the mount answering the question: "What will it take to make you happy?" His answer, however, is far different from the way most people will answer. In fact, his answers appear to bring sorrow, not happiness.

What Was Joseph Thinking?

Contributed by Steve Greene on Nov 29, 2006

What was Joseph thinking that night outside the stable. Have you ever thought about it? What would have been going through your mind? This message challenges us to do what Joseph did. He obeyed God even when it didn’t make sense.
