Mary A Terrific Teenager

Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Dec 3, 2019

MARY - THE TERRIFIC TEENAGER Luke 1:26-38 A remarkable thing about God is that he trusts us with His work. He trusted men and women in Bible times to receive and record His revelations of Himself. He entrusted His church with His supreme revelation, Jesus, and with the great commission ...read more

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 4, 2020

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. This is your special day. But for some reason, when pastors across the country are asked about their Mother’s Day sermon, the largest consensus admits that a Mother’s Day sermon is the hardest of all sermons to put together.

Fifteen Facts To Consider About The Immaculate Conception Of Mary And The Virgin Birth Of Jesus

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Nov 30, 2020

One of the wonders of the Christmas story is that the Triune God gave the honor of being the mother to the Savior of the world to an unmarried teenage girl.
