    based on 5 ratings
     | 3,669 views

    This message compares Osama to Saul (Paul), as one of the most hated and feared people in the world. Yet, even someone who has performed such evil, is not beyond the reach of God’s love and forgiveness.

    He proclaimed a holy war against Christians everywhere. He uttered murderous threats toward anyone who claimed to be a follower of Christ. He captured and persecuted Christians, opposing all who followed Jesus. He even approved of and participated in mobs of people killing anyone who claimed to ...read more

    It seems in the birth of Christ that God took humility to a whole other level. From the outset, God seems to be saying humility is more than an attitude; it is a way of life. One of the first identities we find in the birth of Christ is ultimate humility
