I suspect traveling in space as an astronaut, playing football in the NFL, making the Olympic figure skating team, or driving a $100,000 sports car are some of the more popular ones. When I was growing up, I dreamed of being the ...read more

    Simeon and Anna did not live their senior lives without purpose, they dedicated the rest of their lives to praise God and were blessed for it.

    Simeon and Anna were different from the rest of the older people in the place Jesus was circumcised. Their difference made them stand out, if you would have been looking for it.

    People had been waiting a long time for the Messiah to come. When he comes the voices that are heard are vital to understanding the event

    This sermon’s purpose is to show that one cannot separate or make a distinction between having favor with God or experiencing God’s grace.

    Favour or Grace, You can’t separate the Two (Luke 2:39-52) I’ve often heard, he or she has found favour in the sight of God. For quite some time that phrase puzzled me.
