     | 3,736 views

    Preached on the Sunday Following Christmas. King Herod tried to kill the Child Jesus and he is just the tip of the iceberg. All the nations of the world and people without Jesus are in rebellion against God. Why are they in rebellion and what is God reaction to them?

Why Jesus had to come and His purpose in coming was to die for our sins. This is why we will be observing the Lord’s Supper today, the last Sunday of the ...read more
