It's A Wonder-Filled Life

Contributed by Mark Otero on Dec 21, 2010

A Christmas message. Most people have no problem getting up for Christmas but what about the day after? This message is based on Luke 2:20 from what I see as the shepherds return to "normal" after God has broken into their lives.

Having Good Roots

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Dec 15, 2022
