    Christ is as fully God as if he had never been man and as fully man as if he had never been God. Because of this we can approach Him with the assurance that He understands and can identify with us.

    I Topic: The Deity and Incarnation of Christ A Scripture Readings: Philippians 2:5-11 And John 1:14-18 B If you study the religions of the world, most emphasize our need to reach out to God or to become a god ourselves.

    The angels gave the Christmas message. Will you deny and doubt, are you uncertain but willing to surrender, are you ready to accept and act, and do you believe and will you broadcast the good news?

    The Angels’ Plea for Peace Luke 2:9-14 Rev. Brian Bill 12/10/06 Yesterday I drove up to Milwaukee to celebrate my mom’s 70th birthday with my four sisters.

    Can A Christian Divorce?

    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,377 views

    Christians are taught of the necessity of honouring marriage. However, much of contemporary practise among churches reflects more of the world than of the will of Christ.

    MATTHEW 19:3-12 CAN A CHRISTIAN DIVORCE? “Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, ‘Is it lawful to divorce one’s wife for any cause?’ He answered, ‘Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, “Therefore a man shall leave his ...read more

    Muscular Christianity

     | 6,841 views

    The Faith which Paul taught is the Faith that is needed for Christianity to thrive in our day. That Faith is nothing less than muscular Christianity.

    Christianity has been feminised in our day. I don’t mean that men are unwelcome among the churches or that there is overt feminist anger toward men. What I do mean is that acting manly—accepting responsibility to provide guidance and to build up the penitent, maintaining vigilance while standing ...read more

    There is but one way to God, and that is through Jesus the Son of God. He presents Himself as the Door. The message explores some of the ramifications of that truth.

    “Jesus again said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door.

    Christians living in Sodom are in grave danger. Though God will graciously keep His own, they must need His warning to escape.

    “The two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom.
