Advent & Christmas Meditations

Jesus Is The Reason For The Season!: We welcome you to our site, and wish you a blessed Christmas season. We offer the following Christ-centered seasonal meditations for your consideration:

CHRISTMAS PAST:
Gabriel’s World Tour, 6 B.C.

  • Zechariah: “Yes, but …”
  • Mary: The Bible talked about the Messiah, but not about being the Messiah’s Mom.

CHRISTMAS PRESENT:
Finding the Manger Amidst the Madness of the Mall 

CHRISTMAS FUTURE:
