Joe Bayly in his book, View From a Hearse said, “Don’t try to “prove” anything to a survivor. An arm about the shoulder, a firm grip of the hand, a kiss: these are the proofs grief needs, not logical reasoning.” Christ gives greater comfort in every situation than any human possibly can.

In our morning sermons this month, we are considering The Christ of Christmas. In our evening sermons this month, our focus will be on the fact that Christ was Born to Die. The apostle John wrote, (1 John 4:14) “And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the […]
