No Room For Jesus Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 19, 2020

"No Room" was a declaration by God of what Jesus would experience in His ministry. In fact there are only two places where room will be made for Jesus. Do you know what they are?

When Joseph and Mary approached looking for shelter his line was to simply say “I’m sorry… but we have no room.” But being a good 7-year-old boy that didn’t seem quite right.

Counting The Cost Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022

When Jesus Comes, Peace

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jul 1, 2019

It is a bit audacious to talk about peace on earth in our world today, but Jesus, the Prince of Peace gives us hope.

It’s a bit audacious to talk about peace, even on Christmas day, here in the year 2005, or any year, for that matter.

The Pouting Prophet Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 3, 2019

Initially making the decision to flee from God, Jonah soon discovered such an endeavor ...read more
