How Can This Be?

Contributed by Chris Talton on Jan 13, 2002

Abraham questioned God’s plan to give a child to him when he was 100 years old, even as Mary wondered about God’s plan to give her a son when she was a virgin.

December 9, 2001 Heb. 11:11-12; Gen. 15-16 “How can this be?” INTRODUCTION Do you know what the three most feared words at Christmas time are? “Some assembly required”. Oh, there are lots of good words at Christmas. Words like “Joy to the world”, “Merry Christmas”, “50% off sale”, and ...read more

A Dream Come True

Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000

Like Simeon we need to realize that if all we had was Jesus Christ, that would be enough; with Jesus, our life is complete and we can be content.

Children often dream about things they would like to do in the future. I suspect traveling in space as an astronaut, playing football in the NFL, making the Olympic figure skating team, or driving a $100,000 sports car are some of the more popular ones. When I was growing up, I dreamed of being the ...read more

Mary, Jesus First Disciple

Contributed by Bill Sullivan on Dec 8, 2008

We often minimize the importance and impact of Mary, the mother of Jesus, because of fear that honoring and learning from her will lead to idolization, yet we can learn much from this pivotal Biblical figure.

Mary – Jesus’ First Disciple TCF Sermon December 7, 2008 Mark Lowry, the Christian singer and comedian who wrote the song we just heard, observed that the silence of Jesus’ mother Mary at the cross always amazed him.

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

A concept in soul winning that you hear very little about that enables Christians to be successful soul winners involves their becoming like the Master Soul Winner - Jesus Christ!

Everything about His marvelous life teaches us about soul winning. Illus: For example, when Jesus wanted to let the world know that He loved them, He did not yell from Heaven, "I love all of you! Come to Me, and I will save you" Now He could have done that, but He didn't. Notice ...read more

Let's Play Angels Series

Two of the popular TV programs are about angels. Touched By An Angel, features an Irish angel who goes about helping people out of life's ...read more
