    A “Why’s” man I wonder how many of you would hazard a guess as to which word I find the most troublesome in the English language? Despite its diminutive size it’s a word that has plagued me most of my life. It’s the word ‘why?’ Any of you who have ever been parents have, I’m sure, wished on more ...read more

    Isaiah 53:3-12 3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by ...read more

He was born with a purpose - to save you and me from our sin and give us the hope of eternal life. • This great plan of God was fulfilled because two persons were willing to trust and obey God. ...read more
