It's A Wonderful Life Because It's A Wonderful Christmas

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Dec 22, 2022

The movie was based on a short story by Philip Van Doren Stern in 1843, called The Greatest Gift. In the movie, George Bailey (played ...read more

Jesus Left Behind At The Temple

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jan 6, 2024

The account in Luke 2 of Jesus in the Temple reveals two incredible things. First, how wonderful our relationship with God the Father will be when all the effects of sin are removed from our lives. Second, how much our Savior gave up for us and for our redemption when he took humanity on himself.

Only Matthew and Luke give us the nativity, and only Luke tells this ONE story that fills the huge gap between the wise men, and Jesus turning 30 and his Baptism in the Jordan River. I think our imaginations always run ...read more
