    The Shepherds: Why Them? Series

    Contributed by James Jackson on Dec 16, 2019
     | 8,803 views

    Why would God announce the Savior's birth to a group of lowly shepherds first? The answer is the heart of the gospel.

    Please open your Bibles to Luke 2. And I would also encourage you to find Ezekiel 34, and put a bookmark there, because we are going to be opening that up a little later. Every Christmas, there is an “it” toy. The most popular toy that everyone wants, and no one can find. These days, it is ...read more

    Seals And Trumpets And Bowls, Oh My! (Revelation 6-16) Series

    Contributed by James Jackson on Nov 8, 2025
     | 259 views

    Revelation 6–16 can feel like the scariest part of the journey—war, famine, plagues, and wrath. But behind every seal, trumpet, and bowl stands a merciful God whose justice is never chaotic, always redemptive. When God wins, we win—and the story that began with mercy ends with mercy.

    Good morning! Please open your Bibles to Revelation 6. Some of you may find this hard to believe, but back in the olden days—the 1970s—there was no streaming, no DVDs, and definitely no pause button. VCRs existed, but they cost over a thousand dollars, so nobody you knew actually had one. If ...read more
