The Mission
A moment will pass and the world will be engrossed in the Christmas spirit. The celebration of the Lord’s birth is precious to us. The Lamb of God; the incarnate God; the Savior of the world. It is important for us to take time and recount the wonder of it all. Yet upon study, I

With Thanksgiving…
Psa 69:30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. Phil 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.

Growth Through Trouble
Acts 5:40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. Acts 5:41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his

Freedom Is Never Free
A single line from the book of Judges strikes a chord of sorrow in every reader’s heart. “Another generation arose which knew not Joshua nor yet the works he had done for Israel.” They forgot the great battle of Jericho; the marching and the victory.

Eleventh Hour
Mat 20:9 And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. The parables of Jesus are found in the Gospels. Each have relevance in particular ways to display the King and Kingdom. All scripture is God-breathed. All is of great importance, especially that of the parables. Jesus

Pray, Seek, Witness, Work
Twice Jesus spoke the words, “my house.” Once in reference to the Temple and its purpose. Commerce had consumed the atmosphere when Jesus took a whip and beat the money changers. Jesus kicked over their tables, spilling shekels and silver coins across the Temple floor. The purpose had been stolen and Jesus came to declare

A Secret
Come close. I want to tell you a secret. It is an axiom of truth, i.e., it will never change. Here it is: “Give and it shall be given unto you!” A few thousand years have passed since Jesus, the Incarnate God – Emmanuel – The I AM that I AM, spoke these words. I
