    In the book of Genesis, we read about Noah, a man who found favor in the eyes of the Lord. In a time when wickedness was rampant and every thought of man's heart was evil, Noah stood out as a righteous man. God saw this and decided to spare Noah and his family from the impending flood that would ...read more

    I’ve heard the story before. I mean I know it backwards and forwards, I can probably tell it in my sleep. Do I have really have to hear it again, let alone preach on it? Heck, there is even a song about it, “We three kings of orient are; bearing gifts we traverse afar, la la la la la la lalala ...read more

    There is a real story of Christmas. To the Bible characters who played an important role on that first Christmas day, it was not necessarily all peace and joy and love. If we were to analyze carefully their situations, we will agree that theirs was a sad

    Many people are talking about Mel Gibson’s new movie "The Passion of the Christ." This study will take a deeper look at the Roman scourging and crucifixion that Jesus willingly endured on our behalf.
