A Christmas Tree In Bethlehem Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 19, 2010

God planted a Christmas tree in Bethlehem. But it was a differnent kind of tree than the one folks often decorate and place in their homes for Christmas.

A Christmas Love Worth Waiting For Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 8, 2021

El Poder Engañoso De Una Buena Excusa

Contributed by Richard Tow on Aug 1, 2024

Las excusas pueden privarnos de lo mejor de Dios. Son enemigas de la gran fe y de los logros. En este análisis de Lucas 14:15-24, aprendemos de la historia de Jesús sobre aquellos que se excusaron de asistir a un gran banquete. Esas personas perdieron la oportunidad de su vida.

Looking For Leftovers Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 29, 2014
