Once I was told about the paganism, the date, the Mass and such it pretty much turned me off. Sadly, the truth about Christmas is that there is very little ...read more

David Is Made King Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 20, 2003

David becomes King by God’s plan but as a result of a series of events which are sometimes ungodly in nature. God is able to use ungoldy actions by sinful men and women to bring about his good purposes in history.

I think it’s easy to have a romantic view of the history of David as King of Israel. It’s such a great story isn’t it? The good looking shepherd boy who becomes king. The youngest son who is chosen and anointed by God to lead his people. The young lad who defeats the battle seasoned giant Goliath. ...read more

Melchizedek – A Better King Series

Contributed by Stephen Wright on Apr 8, 2006

The author of Hebrews takes Melchizedek, a shadowy figure, and shows that he was a prototype of the Lord Jesus Christ - the true king of Righteousness

Introduction If I asked you to name the most important people in the Old Testament I doubt that Melchizedek would be on your list, much less at the top.
