The Source Of Great Joy

Contributed by Brian Williams on Dec 17, 2023

Believers don't have to wait for everything to be good and perfect before we have joy because our ultimate source of joy comes from the Savior not the situation.

Today we are in our second week of this Advent season and will be looking at Luke 2:8-12. Here, Luke records the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. After He is born, the angels show up and share this good news of great joy to the humble shepherds in the field. Let’s look again at Luke 2:8-12: 8 And in ...read more

The Reason For His Coming

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Dec 13, 2024

Matthew led us to see the heart of Jesus for our salvation. Jesus chose not to defend himself, endured the mockery of men, and died to pay the price of our sins.

Here Comes Trouble Again! # 2b

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022
