I came across an article that showcases various scripture verses found in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. The focus of the verses is that there is hope to be found in the year ahead because of who our God is. Thanks for listening.

Happy New Year!

I read an article that is very well done in presenting the Christmas Story throughout the Bible. It takes time to highlight the fact that there is more to the story than what is found in the second chapter of the book of Luke. Take time and focus on what the Christmas Story is really all about.

I read an article written by Cliff Graham entitled, 'Silent Night, Violent Night'. It offers a fresh perspective on the story of Christmas. It is from an author whom I have interviewed previously on this podcast.
