Mary's Side Of The Story

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Dec 5, 2017

I wonder, how does Mary’s story speak to you this Advent season? In a few weeks from now, Christmas Sunday would seem rather odd if we did not hear from Mary.

This is not an original sermon, points borrowed from Advent 3/C, December 17, 2006 Lynne M. Dolan (I believe the message was entitled “Nothing Impossible with God”). I have restructured the message, however; want to ensure I give proper credit. TITLE: MARY’S SIDE OF THE STORY SCRIPTURE: ...read more

Knowing The God Who Loves You Series

Contributed by Darryl Klassen on May 26, 2009

The love of God is the best known attribute and probably the least understood. And when we grasp the love of God in part, what are we supposed to do next?

KNOWING THE GOD WHO LOVES YOU Ask anyone what they know of God and you will receive a common answer: God is love.

I think you’ll be convicted, challenged, and encouraged, but to get there you’ll need to put aside ...read more
