    The angel said that Jesus had come to forgive us of our sins... but why would the story of a baby be important to the Gospel message. What is there about a baby that would figure into God offering us forgiveness?

They’re decorating their homes, putting up Christmas trees and mistletoe and holly… and Christmas lights all over the place. We Americans are so used to our traditions of the season ...read more

    Good morning, my dear brothers and sisters in Christ. As we gather together in the house of the Lord, let us take a moment to pause, to breathe, to center ourselves in the presence of our Creator.

    We are to make a joyful noise unto the Lord. When we worship we should sing praises to God, glorifying Him and honoring His Name. Music is a channel of divine blessing, comfort and strength. Even in the depths of suffering, we can turn our hearts and v

    We are a church that loves to sing. I know there are those of you who have trouble participating when we sing, because you feel your voice isn’t worthy. I once read of a man who approached his Pastor and said; “you haven’t heard how poorly I sing. I know the Bible says ...read more

    It’s not the size of your gift that matters, but the size of your heart. Believe every cent counts in the Kingdom of God. Learn to be totally dependent upon God.

    Why would Jesus be so impressed with a widow who gave only two mites, which is less than a cent? He was so impressed that He called His disciples together and singled her out of the crowd. Why did He honour her minute gift so proudly and publicly? The woman is nameless. We have no record of any ...read more
