Jesus rose with power from the dead, breaking the curse and he is returning again to rule and reign wiping away every tear, make the crooked straight and all things new! Hallelujah! Merry Christmas!

The Good News! The best News! The greatest story ever told. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us! The Light of the World shone around us and we beheld the glory of God. The Son of God laid down his life to rescue a desperate, helpless, rebel race.
