    Advent only has three midweek services this year. This was the last midweek sermon before Christmas. I was reminded of this interesting text reading a book by John Eldridge and thought that it’s a "nativity" story that doesn’t get much press in the church

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, It’s not the usual nativity story that we’re used to. There is no mention of shepherds and their flocks, no mysterious glow around a ...read more

    OPEN: A few years back, Wellington, FL had their baby Jesus stolen two years running. This was a wealthy community and their Jesus was worth around $1800.
