I would like to take a few moments to discuss a subject that many times we would just prefer to ignore. That’s the subject of sin.

A Light In The Darkness

The beautiful truth of Christ's mission is that God was not just content to contain darkness or to hold it at bay for a while. Instead, he pierced the heart of it and conquered it on our behalf.

INTRODUCTION The passage just read is probably one of my favorite Christmas passages from one of my favorite books of the Bible.

The waves were like mountains, and they came crashing against the ship, and all on board felt doomed, for the life boats were useless in such a storm. ...read more
