    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 23, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,878 views

    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

    Names meant something in the Bible.What’s in the name of Jesus? There is Salvation, Preservation and Glorification in the name of Jesus.

    What’s In A Name? There is one thing in our lives over which we have little control--our names. We were given names by our parents before we even knew who we were. Some of us were named for our parents as in the case of a boy who is named for his father and must go through life carrying the ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,155 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.

I just love a good country song that proclaims: “I don’t love you anymore, trouble is, I don’t love you any less!” There are even some truly classic country Christmas songs such as Momma got run (or run-ed’) over by a reindeer! I always had a fondness ...read more
