Sermons on Persecuted Church:

No Time Like The Present Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Dec 20, 2020

Every time we hear the story of God’s gift of the Christ child we should should always treasure this in our hearts and ponder the mystery of God being with us in the flesh every day. Maybe then Tiny Tim’s precious prayer will ring true: “God bless us every one,”

As far back as I can remember, I’ve known about Jesus. Everyone one of us here probably grew up hearing about Jesus, am I right? We heard about Him in church, in Sunday School.
