The Virgin Birth of Christ

Isaiah 7:14 – Luke 1:26-38 Many people seem confused about various religious teachings and beliefs. Even among those who claim to be Christians, there are some who have difficulty understanding who Jesus is. I have been asked questions such as: How can Jesus, a human, be God?

“The Lord Had Left Him”

Judges 16:17-21 There are many tragic events recorded in the Bible, but there is hardly a statement as tragic as these words in the book of Judges about Samson: “But he did not know that the  Lord  had  left him.” (Judges 16:20) Is there anything more pitiful than a person who does not know his […]

Accountability Time

Matthew 25:14-30 As a local church and ministry, we are accountable to all those who trust us with their gifts of money, time and help. Yet we are accountable to an even higher authority: God. Organizations are accountable to their members and shareholders. They must look at their investments, to see whether they had profits […]
