Celebrating Christ

12/14/16 Celebrating Christ 1915
What is God like? Hundreds of years before the birth of Christ, Isaiah prophesied about Christ, “Unto us a Son is given: and His Name shall be called Mighty God, the everlasting Father.” Was Jesus really God? Was He the Creator? He was. God came to the earth He created in the smallest form possible, as a single cell. Film maker Bruce Marchiano, who acted the parts of Jesus in more films than any other, is the author of Jesus Yesterday, Today and Forever. What was Jesus like as a child? What was it like for Mary, expecting Jesus to rule the world, to see Him crucified? Why did Jesus have so much supernatural joy?

USA vs China

Giving God Thanks

11/23/24 Giving God Thanks 1912
Pastor Garrett Lear, whose ancestors came here on the Mayflower, says this Christian country is being stolen! Peter Marshall, author of The Light and The Glory, says the Pilgrims didn’t come here for religious freedom but they came here as missionaries. The Pilgrims were starving, with only 5 kernels of corn a day, but God brought an English speaking Indian who taught them survival skills. Dr John Pafford says it was the strong Christian faith of the Pilgrims that established this nation as a Christian commonwealth and fostered a free market economy. Vaughn Shatzer says Christianity was foundational to all aspects of life.
 

Soar On Wings Like Eagles

11/16/24 Soar On Wings Like Eagles 1911
The majestic eagle is a symbol of strength and freedom. Just as opposing winds cause an eagle to soar higher, so adversity strengthens Godly people. So when adversity comes, don’t let it get you down, let it push you up as you draw closer to God. Inspirational speaker, Gary Horton, says the female eagle tests the male eagle to be sure he will be there to catch the little eaglet as he falls from the nest. So too, we can trust our Lord to be there to catch us when we fall. Mary Whelchel, author of Soaring on High - Spiritual Insights from The Life of An Eagle, makes parallels between God’s amazing eagle and Christians.
