    A message about one of the spiritual attributes of God that’s described with physical examples. The responsibility of believers to be a part of this attribute.

    God’s Fingerprint Luke 11:20, “But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the Kingdom of God has come upon you.” Does God have fingerprints?

    Wise men came late to the party... but at least they showed up. Then - as now - many are too busy to bother. Why would so many people seek something else to focus on during the Christmas season?

    Do we know the real story of Christmas? Surprisingly not. We also don’t really know who Jesus really is - God himself. I also draw from the traditional christmas passages in Luke and Matt

    Rev. 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. These are the words of Jesus Christ, as recorded in the book of Revelation.They are bold.
