The account of Christ’s birth in the Gospel of Luke situates the event as a real historical occurrence, not a myth, legend, or fable. In part 1 of our 2017 Christmas series we take a look at some of the historical evidence surrounding this event and the theological significance of its accuracy.
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

There is a growing ‘evangelistic’ movement in America, but it isn’t a church movement. Atheists are taking to the streets to engage religious people regarding their spiritual/religious beliefs in an effort to dissuade them of those beliefs.
In this 3rd installment on The Sermon on the Mount, we take a look at Jesus’ teachings that deal with our motives, especially regarding who gets the credit? Whose glory are we seeking, ours or God’s?
