Imagine the being told that a King was going to be born in a distant land. How many of us would think that his birth would be important enough to spend the time to travel hundreds, if not thousands of miles on foot, or on a camel to see him? These Wise Men had spent the better part of two years following a star (2:7,16). To follow this star, they had left homes, maybe family and friends, really the left a lot behind. They had left their country and …
Worship is the response of all that man is to all that God is and does. We are not to worship for what we can get out of it, but because God is worthy of it. The Bible brilliantly teaches us that God is to be the sole object of our worship (Matthew 4:8-10). Since God is to be the exclusive object of our worship, it follows then that we are not to worship
Jesus was no ordinary baby (Matthew 1:18-25). His name is Jesus, a very common Jewish name, often given in memory of Joshua. Jesus (Joshua) means God is Savior. The son of Mary was rightfully called that because – “He will save His people from their sins” (v.21). The question is, How would He do this? By offering His blood as the atonement for our sins (Romans 5:8-9). When one’s sin’s are washed away by the blood of Jesus, Jesus is then their Savior. The believer is set …
(Romans 5:8)…..But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. God has proven His love for you. So don’t doubt it. What proves that God loves you more than you love yourself? He died in your place – suffering the punishment for sin that you deserved, so you could go free. God was more willing to suffer Himself than to see you suffer. Of course, the devil constantly tries to get you to doubt that God loves you. That’s why …
This is not original by me, but thought you might be blessed by having this as a study tool for you when you need it. So enjoy! Christ is the Central Theme of the Bible. God the Father is the giver of Holy Scripture; God the Holy Spirit is the author, authenticator, and interpreter of Holy Scripture; and God the Son, Jesus Christ, is the theme of Holy Scripture.

The Holy Spirit will guide you in every area of life; from the words you should speak, to the spouse you should marry, to the investments you should make. He is is the third person of the Trinity of God. It is difficult for humans to understand how there can be only one God, as the Scriptures teach, yet He can reveal Himself as three …
Hi all,
(Matthew 11:19)….. “The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say,`Look, a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’. . . .Jesus had trouble with the religious leaders of His day, because He was a friend of sinners. Jesus is the same today. He never changes. Jesus is your friend. (Luke 19:7)…..But when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, “He has gone to be a guest with a man who is a sinner.” Religious people couldn’t understand how Jesus could …
Wishing everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Spend time giving real thanks before you eat today.
(Philippians 4:6-7).....Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Thankfulness is the key to overcoming anxiety, and to obtaining the peace of God which surpasses understanding.
Why do we praise the Lord? Why do we want to give Him thanks? Especially when thankfulness is the reason for the season in November. Because He is good, and because His mercy endures forever. Give Him thanks because……
