Gloria in Excelsis Deo

The Gift of Redemption
One of Jesus’ purposes in descending to earth was to redeem His people. In Heaven, a new song of worship will be sung praising the Son of God’s sacrificial actions for His people. Redemption is the act of gaining possession of something in exchange for payment of a...

The Promise Of A Kingdom
When I think of that first Christmas night, it is hard to imagine that while Bethlehem was bursting with people, not one of them knew that in their midst, the Son of God was being born. The Word had become flesh, the Redeemer of the world had entered time. The only...
His Name Is…
