Jesus And Santa

Contributed by Jacob Brimm on Apr 21, 2021

What do Jesus and Santa have in common? Nothing? Perhaps more than you think, just not how you think! The true story of a man who got a name, though he personally would rather all credit go to The Son!

While we know very little about the man who likely bore the name, the most likely person was the Bishop of Myra, near modern Finike, Turkey, in the 300s. Nicholas' parents died when he was just a teenager. His parents left him a lot of money which made him a rich young man. He went to live ...read more

Calibrating With God Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 7, 2021

Part of serving Jesus Christ is our lifelong commitment to calibrate and recalibrate what goes on within us and what goes on in our relationship to the people in our lives. This frequent adjustment is based upon His revealed will in His Word.

Calibrating with God (Proverbs 29:20, 23-27) 1. One man: “While working as a prison guard in Prague, part of my job included a lot of walking up and down the prison corridors.

I. Introduction A. One of the more precious—and frustrating—parts of homeschooling (or educating young children in general) is teaching them how to write. Letter-forming does not come naturally to most of us, and it certainly doesn’t come by hearing a lecture on it. A child must see letters ...read more

There They Crucified Him

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 15, 2024

This scripture has been referred to as the heart of the Bible.

When you go through the old testament, the types, the shadows, the sacrifices, everything pointed to the cross. Everything after, everything we do today refers back to the cross. It is the central point of God's word. The heart of our faith. Every promise in the Bible hinges on the cross. The ...read more

The Real Day Of The Lord

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 10, 2022

The Biblical term "day of the Lord" is a lot more involved than most folks believe.

Thirty-Third Sunday in Course 2022 The phrase “the day of the Lord” appears in the OT thirty-five times. But what does it mean? We’ve grown up thinking that the “Lord’s Day” is Sunday, because it’s the day of Christ’s Resurrection. Or maybe it’s the day of Christ’s return, a day nobody can fix on ...read more

Thanksgiving -Thank You For Your Order....god The Father Asked Jesus A Hard Thing.

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Nov 16, 2021

One of the ways that Israel stimulated a sense of gratitude and fidelity was remembering the exodus from captivity to liberation: “remember that you were once slaves...remember that it was God who liberated you and brought you to a land of promise."

Simple Act of Gratitude is a book that tells the story of an inspiration, the writing of 365 Thank You Notes, and how John Kralik’s life was changed from a life full of debts and disasters, to learning to be grateful for the life he had. I decided that I would try this too, and so I did starting ...read more

Fullness Of Time

Contributed by Sunitha Justin on Dec 2, 2021

The birth of Christ did not happen all of the sudden. From the beginning of creation, this plan of God of sending His Son into the world was revealed. In Galatians, Paul describes a moment in history when everything was in place and the stage was all set for Christ to be born.

But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law. Galatians 4:4 What does fullness of time mean? It is like eagerly waiting for something and suddenly the time comes very appropriately. Like a ripe apple ready to be picked. In this context ...read more

The Mission Of The Seventy.
