Why Jesus Came? Series

Contributed by Prasanna P on Dec 12, 2018

He is the reason for the Season. We celebrate the season because He is in us. Christmas is not receiving gifts, not asking for gifts, not Santa, not Ever green Tree, not the pomp and show of lights and all the other things..... Christmas is Jesus. Yes it is receiving the gift God gave to mankind.

It is important to know why Jesus came. He did not come to make the life on earth more comfortable. He did not come to make life more easy in your situation. He came with a purpose to this earth. Let me tell you from the Bible at least four reasons I found in my study, why He came. 1. Jesus came ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 13, 2023

Do people live artificial lives because they are artificial, OR they are artificial because they live artificial lives? Olives will never be produced from a fig tree. The world is full of artificial people. What about Christians – are you living an artificial life that does not please God?

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 29, 2014

Some of the greatest things ever accomplished in this world have simply been accomplished because people refused to quit. A big oak tree is nothing more than an acorn that refused to give ground. It just hung on. There’s great value in persistence.

Satan's Gonna Get It Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 6, 2016
