    “What’s Christmas All About? Joining the Family” Matthew 1:18-23 When I first saw the original movie “Home Alone” it brought back some memories for me.

My dad used to say this all the time when I didn’t complete my chores or just do what he said in general.

    Too Busy Not To Pray

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 13, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,668 views

    Let me throw some numbers at you. Imagine that you were in charge of an operation that involves, on the average, some ten thousand people a week, almost all of whom come together at one time.

    Contributed by Mark Eberly on Mar 3, 2008
     | 4,035 views

    Is there really a hell? The answer from the Bible is: Yes. However, perhaps a deeper question is how can a loving God send people to eternal torment? We’ll look at this and also what it is the God wants from us.

    The Burning Question Is There Really a Hell? March 2, 2008 I have heard many recovered alcoholics and addicts describe their lives before recovery as a “living hell.” Their lives were filled with suffering, agony, and anguish for themselves and those around them. The conclusion is that the throes ...read more
