That is because the light from the sun is so bright that none of those other stars in the sky can be seen during the daytime. But if we wait until the sun sets tonight, ...read more

    John 1:1-17 is John’s version of the nativity story. It doesn’t begin with shepherds and angels and a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger. John’s nativity story takes us back to the beginning of creation and time, and it echoes the creation story in Genesis. In ...read more

    Let Your Light Shine At The Peak

    Contributed by James Dina on Oct 29, 2022
     | 1,816 views

    As of March 2022, 42 percent of pastors had considered leaving full-time ministry within the previous year (BARNA Group Survey). Also, only 30% of the leaders in the Bible finished well. This means that 70% fell short of God’s plan for their lives. Our lights must definitely shine at the peak.

    LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE AT THE PEAK "Son of man, how is the wood of the vine better than any other wood, the vine branch which is among the trees of the forest? (Ezekiel 15:2) Jesus disarmed principalities and powers. He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it. ...read more
