     | 4,691 views

    There is a real story of Christmas. To the Bible characters who played an important role on that first Christmas day, it was not necessarily all peace and joy and love. If we were to analyze carefully their situations, we will agree that theirs was a sad

     | 11,094 views

    This particular Psalm has been called the "Great Hallelujah Psalm" It is an invitation for all to become active in the praise of God. Let’s examine some of the benefits of corporate praise.

    The writer of this Psalm used the phrase "Praise Him" nine times, we also find the word "Praise" used an additional four times in this writing. There must be some significant or special reason for the instruction to praise to be given. Is it possible that God wants praise to be not only a personal ...read more

All of the festivals and rituals prescribed in the Old Testament point directly to, and are completely fulfilled by the finished work of Christ on the cross. One ...read more
