    One of the most puzzling facts of Christmas is that God, when He came to earth & took upon Himself human form, was born in a stable. Why? Were there not more appropriate places for the Son of God?

    THE MYSTERY OF THE MANGER A SOLUTION FOR THE STABLE LUKE 2: 1-7 Seven year old Johnny yelled “Daddy, guess what’s missing?” The front lawn rang with excitement as the family put the life-size manger scene in place. “What?” his father asked while he finished fastening Joseph to a stake for ...read more

    Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10, "These things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did." There is much we can learn from bad examples in the Bible.

    Effective Christianity

    Contributed by Scott Fields on Oct 9, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,658 views

    Why is Christianity in America declining? Why are professions of faith and baptisms on the decline. Christianity is not a religion but a relationship. Church is not a place we go or something we do it is God's people doing His will.

    I have a very serious question to start us off with this morning. Why is Christianity on the decline here in America? I am sure there are probably as many answers as there are people. • Could it be because Christianity is competing with so many other religions? • Could it be because ...read more

    Jesus sees us in our plight, naked and left for dead by the ravishes of sin in our lives. He picks us up, binds us, anoints us, and takes us to a place of safety.

    THE NEIGHBOURLY KINDNESS OF THE HATED SAMARITAN. Luke 10:25-37.

     | 27,106 views

    Are you paying attention to the "burning bushes" that God has placed in your life? They are God's way of tapping us on the shoulder so that we will "take notice" to listen to what he has to say.
