    One of the most beautiful aspects of Christmas is the humility of Jesus’ birth. Born in a manger, He came not as a conquering king but as a servant.

    Christmas is the celebration of the greatest gift ever given: Jesus Christ. At the heart of the Christmas story is the profound truth of God’s love for humanity. John 3:16 declares, “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have ...read more

     | 2,131 views

    In the sermons dealing with the attributes of God we have talked about the fact that God is love, jealous, immutable, holy, omniscient, and omnipresent.

    Today, as we continue to search the scriptures to know more about the God of the Bible, we want to focus our attention on God's omnipotence. What do we mean when we say that GOD IS OMNIPOTENT? • We mean that the God of the Bible HAS ALL POWER! • We mean that His power is not limited as ...read more

    This passage of scripture has been preached on through the centuries and still today the hearts of God's people are blessed as they see what God's Word says about Nebuchadnezzar's dreams.

    Verse 1 tells us he dreamed these dreams "...in the second year..." of his reign. Someone may be saying, "SO WHAT?" We all have had dreams! Yes, but you had better pray to God that you never have a dream like Nebuchadnezzar had. Of course we know that during ...read more

    Moses was told to go and explore the land. It was two men who became famous for their faith in God. Joshua and Caleb believed with God they would take the land.

When you look at the giant impossible task compared to your own abilities you feel like a ...read more

    Jeremiah was to have God by his side through all of his difficulties. There are special rewards for God’s faithful people. However, it is possible that they might not be received during this life.

He was not a successful man by the world’s standards, like those who have fortune and fame. He did not gain ...read more
