    Like Joseph, we think we want freedom from embarassment, but we really want love. We think we want an ordinary life, but we really want to be special. We think we want a little support, but we get the presence of the Living God

    What do you want for Christmas? I hope there’s somebody in your life who is asking that question. I am not one of those who thinks we should do away with gift-giving at Christmas. Yes, it gets out of hand. And yes, it’s very commercial. But still, gift-giving is a part of the joy of the ...read more

    A Boy Named Jesus

    Contributed by Carl Greene on Dec 31, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,100 views

    This message deals with the significance of Jesus’ name(s). The focus is about "God with us" vs God "is" with us. The importance of having God "within" us, guiding, comforting, encouraging, loving. Not alongside us, but "with" us.
