Eyewitnesses Of Majesty

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 8, 2010

We tend to see only what we expect to see, and thus at Christmas we do not see the glory and majesty of the Christ child in the homeless, the downtrodden, the ashamed.

They say that "seeing is believing". Well, that depends. That depends on whether you can trust your eyesight. And it depends on whether you have decided to see what is really there or just what you think is there. "Seeing is believing." It depends on whether you can trust your eyesight. My ...read more

Living Under Two Trees

Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010

We live under two trees. The first tree was one by which Satan conquered us. But the second tree was one by which Jesus conquered Satan for us. And because of that we live.

Intro Satan is patient, stoking the power of evil that he believes is stronger than God. He devises a scheme and becomes one with a snake. And there he waits. He will wait as long it takes to entrap and ensnare. And so he waits. He waits for Eve to walk past the Tree of the Knowledge of Good ...read more

"Seeing Jesus In The Feast Of Passover” Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Oct 30, 2017

How does the Passover observance point to Christ?

You've heard it said, "A picture is worth a thousand words." Indeed, there are things we can grasp by means of a visual aid far easier than we can in any other way. When God taught His covenant people, the Jews, He used visual aids. For over 400 years, they'd been slaves in Egypt. As slaves, they ...read more

A Whisper From The Cradle

Contributed by Jessie Manuel on Dec 14, 2025

Tonight, we gather in the glow of expectation, and I want to take you back to the most unlikely place God ever spoke—a stable in Bethlehem, where four humble details whisper a message of joy and peace that still echoes across the centuries.

Introduction In the hush of Advent waiting, we strain to hear. We listen for trumpets, for thunder, for the unmistakable voice of God breaking through our chaos. But what if the message we're longing for comes not as a shout, but as a whisper? Not from a throne, but from a cradle? Tonight, ...read more
