God’s Christmas Tree

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 16, 2025

In 1659 Christmas was banned. More recently, genuine Christmas has been supplanted by a commercial Christmas with the Christmas tree as its center. Yet strange to tell, long ago, God picked out a Christmas tree for His Son.

His mother is standing there with her mouth open and Dennis is holding a large box. 2. He announces with a loud voice, “We’d better tell Santa Claus to forget about ...read more

The Narrow Road

Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 3, 2022

Many Christians are on the "wide road" because they don't know the requirements of Jesus. There's a Narrow Gate/ entrance in the form of a Cross. We must get rid of all our old baggage. This message starts with a short drama. Powerful!

Why Have You Forsaken Me? - Mark 15:34 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on May 30, 2024

What did Jesus mean when he said, "My God, why have you forsaken me?" Did the Father forsake his Son?

In Mark 15:34 Jesus cries out from the cross, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Did God actually forsake Jesus? If so, what’s the answer to Jesus’ question? Why?
