The Church At Ephesus Series

Contributed by David Taylor on Apr 26, 2003

While opinions and ideas could, and probably would run rampant concerning that topic, there is one place the answer may be clearly found. That is in God’s Word. While many ...read more

Glory To God In The Highest!

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Oct 12, 2020

It was just like any old night for the shepherds. They were out in their fields, literally “taking care of their business.” It was night and all of a sudden the sky lit up. The sky lit up with the glory of the Lord.

Luke 2:8 And in the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields, and keeping watch over their flock by night. The region Luke mentions in verse eight is the region of Bethlehem. Bethlehem, Bethlehem was about six miles directly south of the city of Jerusalem. It's just a ...read more

Every now and then every person asks for a miracle in their life. Can you recall miracles you have asked God for? Isn’t it great that we have the ability to ask God for such a thing? A miracle is a visible interruption of the laws of nature, such that can only be explained by divine ...read more

The Night Was Not Silent!

Contributed by Thomas Cash on Dec 10, 2009

Originally delivered at a high school convocation in 1995, another pastor recently asked me for these notes. Just as there was a lot of commotion surrounding the birth of God’s Son, we need to make a lot of noise about him today.
