    Today's Sermon is about how Christmas is God's Design in Man's Despair. It is taken from Jesus's genealogy found in Matthew's Gospel. It looks at how God perfectly ordered history, how God works through sinful man, and that we have to resign from being our own gods.

    God’s Design in Man’s Despair Matthew 1:1-25 Looking at this title, “God’s Design in Man’s Despair,” it doesn’t look or sound like a positive and uplifting Christmas message, but stay tuned, because I believe you’ll be blessed knowing that God’s has a design for our lives.

    Crossing the Threshold December 30, 2018 Numbers 14:1-12 If we were all to be really honest, we all have fears and phobias. What one person fears, another may laugh at.
