    We sing O Little Town of Bethlehem, but it seems like a strange choice for Mary and Joseph to travel 120 km when Mary was "Great with Child". This message seeks to answer some of the questions

    O Little Town of Bethlehem, So you probably know the story, the Angel Gabriel appears to Mary and tells her the exciting news, she’s going to be a mom, even though she is still a virgin, they work out the details but then there is the entire process of telling her parents and her fiancé, in ...read more

    We can learn from John the Baptist in preparing for Christ coming: 1) Don’t follow the world; 2) Do follow the Word, in a) different lifestyle, b) forward outlook, and 3) constant repentance.

    WHile much of the world awaits the arrival of Christmas as a Holy Day, those who deny its real significance seem bent on insisting that it is just another holiday.

    Hollow Day, Holiday, or Holy Day? “But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of Bethlehem a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.’” (Luke 2:10-11) If you’ve ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 5, 2025
     | 178 views

    Part 2 of RIGHTS and WRONGS of Christmas, will look at how Christians can relate to Christmas in the quagmire of pagan beliefs. We look at family gatherings, carols, what churches can do in their services. This can be a very hard time for decision-making in a family, more so if there are children.

    THE RIGHTS AND WRONGS OF CHRISTMAS – PART 2 In this Part 2 we will end with two more WRONGS of Christmas and then do the RIGHTS of Christmas. [7].

     | 3,097 views

    If we’re honest, we’re all looking for something. It seems to me that most people today, now more than ever simply want inner peace. Less stress, a sense of wellbeing and moments of time where their mind is not occupied with thoughts of, “I must”, “what if” or “I wonder why”?
