     | 3,855 views

    This message invites the audience to take the Christmas story personally. This just isn’t the Jews Messiah, or Mary’s child. Jesus told the shepherds "Unto YOU is born..." This Christmas - make him YOUR Jesus.

    4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6 And so it was, that, while they were there, ...read more

    Symptoms Of A Society's Sinfulness Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Oct 2, 2008
    based on 32 ratings
     | 18,497 views

    Sin separates from God, be it the sin of a person or of a nation. God demands righteousness on the part of the people with whom He enters into covenant relationship. The fault of rejection is not the Lord’s but His peoples’ choice of the ways of sin.

    ISAIAH 59: 1-8 SYMPTOMS OF A SOCIETY’S SINFULNESS [Romans 3:4-18] There are always reasons if God’s promises are not being fulfilled. It is not because God cannot fulfill His Word or does not want to fulfill His Word. Here God states He is not fulfilling His promises and delivering His people ...read more
