     | 5,118 views

    The Old and New Testament Scriptures hold truths about the birth of Jesus Christ. The truths regarding the gifts offered by the Magi are worthy of consideration if we desire to give Christ the honor He deserves.

    The Significance of the Gifts Ingredients For Christmas Worship Matthew 2:8-11 says, "He sent them to Bethlehem and said, 'Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find Him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship Him.' After they had heard the king, ...read more

    To share some areas that we need to look back at and understand the reality of why we do the things we do. God desires each of us to follow Him not blindly but boldly and intelligently.

    Illustration: A story is told about a wife cooking a roast. She cuts the end off of the roast, puts it on a pan and then in the oven. The husband asks her "Why did you cut the end off?" she replies "Because my mom always did." The next day the wife talks to mom and asks "Why did you cut the end off ...read more

    Jesus Before Herod Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Mar 20, 2023
     | 2,197 views

    Herod is presented as a frivolous person, who desired to see some amusing tricks performed by one whom he probably regarded as some kind of magician. To such a person Jesus had nothing to say.

    LUKE 23: 6–12 JESUS BEFORE HEROD [JESUS’ LAST DAY SERIES] [Luke 9:7-9; 13:31; Acts 3:11-22] Pilate was astute enough to realize in some fashion that it was he who was on trial, not Jesus. In some way, Jesus is in control of His own trial and Pilate seems cognizant of that. But, in spite of ...read more

    The First Evangelistic Sermon

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 11, 2023
     | 946 views

    The fall of humanity as recorded in Genesis 3 shows the consequences of rebellion but also the promise of redemption from a merciful God who desires that no one perish, but that everyone would come to Him for everlasting life.

    The first eleven chapters of the book of Genesis are an authentic record of the beginning of the universe and the world. It is the work of Almighty God and is a testimony to logic, rationality, meaning, purpose, and the precise design of what we know as science. Within the first two chapters ...read more

    God desires the world to catch glimpses of His nature and His love through His people. When we love, God’s love is perfected—that is, it accomplishes its purpose.

    1 John 4:9-14 9 By this the love of God was revealed in us, that God has sent His only Son into the world so that we may live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ...read more

    Get A Glimpse

    In Exodus 33, Moses gets alone with God to be in His presence. His experience with God was special, and yet it’s the same experience which God desires to have with every one of us.

    Illustration: Is there someone, maybe a loved one or a close friend, who you enjoy spending time with? When it comes to that special person, talking on the phone is good, or doing Facetime, but nothing beats being with them in their presence. In Exodus 33, Moses gets alone with God to be in His ...read more
