If people call the head of the family Satan, what will they say about the rest of the family? A little food for thought: People view the ...read more

    Christmas Eve service, 2003. Herod wanted to be in control and lost the opportunity to know Jesus personally. Do we want to be in control so much that we can’t submit to Christ?

Matthew’s Gospel says that when Herod heard about the Baby Jesus from the Wise Men, he was greatly distressed. Greatly distressed? That is ...read more
