     | 314 views

    Jesus came to save us, is transforming us today, and will return in glory to take us home forever. Trust Him now.

    INTRODUCTION Christmas always pulls us into memory. We can’t help it. Every song, every smell, every blinking light seems to whisper something from yesterday. I have ornaments on my tree that are so old they have seen better decades. Some are handmade, held together by glue and nostalgia. Others ...read more

    What About Joseph?

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 26, 2014
     | 5,655 views

    When we talk about the Christmas story we typically focus on Jesus, Mary, the Magi or the shepherds, but what about Joseph? His words may not be in the bible but his deeds are; and they speak volumes. What can we learn from the man who raised Jesus?

    WHAT ABOUT JOSEPH? INTRODUCTION: When we talk about the Christmas story we typically focus on Jesus, Mary, the Magi or the shepherds, but what about Joseph? It’s like he’s just part of the supporting cast; one of the lesser roles in the events of Christ’s birth. In fact, there is ...read more

    Being a mother can be a costly thing. But following the call of God to be a mother of the Savior can be a costly thing as well. As Christians, sometimes, we tend to sanitize the Christmas story. We think of it as a heartwarming story of a young mother giv

    Emmanuel, God With Us
