     | 20,764 views

    Mary’s Song is her response to her calling to be the mother of the Messiah and is a Personal Testimony to God’s grace and a Prophetic Testament to God’s redemptive purposes.

    THE MAGNIFICAT The Magnificat is one of the most beautiful songs of the Christian faith - it’s Mary’s Song. William Barclay writes: "There’s a loveliness in the Magnificat but in that loveliness there’s dynamite." It’s revolutionary because the world’s values are turned upside down.

    Hospitality isn’t just an admirable social skill; It’s essential for anyone who follows Christ. When we show kindness to outsiders, we reflect the character of God.

    This morning, I’d like to talk about hospitality. Now, I realize that, being the Fourth of July weekend, you might have been expecting a sermon on a patriotic theme, something like "freedom", or "sacrifice", or "the faith of our founding fathers". So, to connect my topic with the holiday, I’ll ...read more

    Our moral universe raises several questions: 1. What does it mean to have free will? 2. Why is it frightening? 3. What are we to do with it?

    God has a problem. His problem began when he created other living beings to live in the same universe as himself. Before the creation there was only one will — God’s will. But now there were other beings and other wills operating in the universe — millions of them. And because God wanted a ...read more
