Psalms 27 – The Single-Minded Believer
Clergy/Leaders’ Mail-list No. 0-175 (Bible Reading Notes) PSALM 27 (From ‘Encounter with God’ – Sunday 03 Sep 2000) THE SINGLE-MINDED BELIEVER If you had one wish, what would it be?

The Never Ending Christmas
Luke 1:26-38 How long will you celebrate Christmas? One day? Two, including Boxing Day? Or perhaps, like the song, will you celebrate 12 days of Christmas? How long you celebrate Christmas really depends on how you understand the meaning of Christmas. Christmas can be a passing celebration. But the Christ of Christmas is eternal. The […]
The Dignity Of Being
by Don McLellan Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 Somewhere, buried in all the trappings of a modern Christmas, you will occasionally find nativity scenes.

Who Is This King Of Glory? (Part 2)
[Continued from CLM 966] Christmas, of course, also reminds us of that first question. That tiny helpless baby came and gave us a new answer to that question "who may ascend the Hill of the Lord, who may stand in His Holy place?" Through His coming, through His life – we see a new way […]
