    Christ, The Fabric Of Our Lives

    Contributed by Moy Hernandez on Oct 26, 2009

    In Christian Apologetics or defending the faith, it is paramount for believers to know what they believe and why. Our faith in God leads us to believe and have faith in His word which in turn leads us to Jesus and our saving faith in him.

    Christians Apologetics When it comes to the word Christian this days I much prefer to use the terminology “Followers of Jesus” To be a Christian these days is almost like belonging to a club, or some right of passage that we all go through. However to be a follower of Jesus declares a ...read more

    First Sunday of Advent dealing with how we share Merry Christmas with those around us.

    Here are some classic salutations. Guess where they come from? "Hey Lucy, I’m home." "Whattzzsuuup!" "Na-nu, na-nu.". "Happy Christmas to all and to all a goodnight." "How you doing?" And what about, "Bah! Humbug." You can probably come up with a dozen others off the top of your head have you ...read more

    My unbelieving (at the time)father, one time while I witnessed to him, asked "If God exists, why deosn’t He just blow a big hole in the ground or something?" The Apostle John answers this question in his synopsis from all he learned in his experiences wi

    The world is waiting for God’s children to discover who they really are and in so doing begin to fulfill their God-given purpose of standing out so significantly that the world will want to be who we are!

    The phrase that captured my attention: “…the glorious freedom of the children of God..” Creation longs to be released from corruption in the way that God’s children have been in Christ. Do we truly understand what it means to be the children of God? Why is this considered such a ‘glorious ...read more

    All over our nation, there is unmistakeable evidence that that there are those who want to bar Christ from Christmas.

    This sermon talks about the incarnation of Christ and it as God’s move of intimacy toward the world.

    This is the season to use T. S. Eliot’s masterful phrase about the Incarnation: "the intersection of the timeless with time." Before it was Eliot’s, that way of looking at the birth of Jesus into human form was captured by John: John 1:1-4, 14, 16-18: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word ...read more
