    God decided to go camping at Christmas time. For that is what He did – God went camping. But he didn’t go camping for a holiday, his ‘camping trip’ was scheduled because of his love for you and for me.

    WHEN GOD WENT CAMPING John 1:1-18 This morning’s talk is based on an article written by Tony Payne. Some of the text is taken directly from that article too. Now, I’d like this to be a little bit interactive – not too interactive because I don’t want you to be asking me questions that I might not ...read more

That’s because God’s going to do the preaching today. Sometimes, preachers get in the way of God’s powerful message of hope. So let me quit sharing my ...read more
