What Would Jesus Say To Osama Bin Laden? Series

Contributed by Greg Hanson on Apr 16, 2007

He proclaimed a holy war against Christians everywhere. He uttered murderous threats toward anyone who claimed to be a follower of Christ. He captured and persecuted Christians, opposing all who followed Jesus. He even approved of and participated in mobs of people killing anyone who claimed to ...read more

We sing our Christmas songs and envision this postcard picture of Jesus in a pristine creche as he lies in a manger on a bed of hay or straw. It’s beautiful, ...read more

Using the story of the wise men to teach us how God seeks us and brings us to seek the Christ.

Preparation Principle

Contributed by Brian Eatock on Dec 14, 2005

God has prepared us for a ministry. Why do we think God has prepared us our entire life to fail? Won’t He be with us along the journey?

Finally the emperor became so exasperated that he went to the artist’s home to demand an explanation. But ...read more

This is week four of our stewardship month and this week we are looking at gospel accounts of people who gave to Christ.
