    This jarring episode is just as much a part of the Christmas season as the manger scene. Though grim, the fate of the Innocents shows us how and why we share the hope they had in Christ’s second advent

    Pursuing Excellence

    Contributed by Warren Lamb on Mar 23, 2005
    based on 27 ratings
     | 8,327 views

    Even a glimpse at the Life of Jesus Christ makes obvious the fact that God is a God of excellence. A life of excellence is what He has bought for us. What does that mean for us as Christ-followers today?

    “Pursuing Excellence” Mark 4:35-41 As we examine the life of Jesus as it is recorded for us in the four gospels, we get glimpses through windows, as it were. Not every detail of His life and ministry is recorded for us, nor could it be. The Apostle John tells us in John 21:25: “And there are also ...read more

    This is about David’s affair with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah.

    Have you ever heard someone say, “Oh, the Bible is so boring. It’s just a bunch of ‘begets’ and ‘begots’ and a bunch of stuff that happen thousands of years ago”?

    based on 45 ratings
     | 8,567 views

    In this message we will look at examples in the scripture where God literally told people to shut their mouths. Sometimes we need to be silent before God, and receive instruction, rather than shooting off the mouth and explaining things from our perspecti

    The crucial question is not, "Why do bad things happen to God’s people?" The crucial question is "What is the purpose of my life?"
