“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”. John 1:1   Jesus was not just a man but God. Our text today tells us that clearly and all other truths hang on this truth. If Jesus was just man, His life could only provide a substitute for just one man. However, as God, His life was worth more than...

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord”.

"For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:” Colossians 2:9-10 (KJV)   When you are moving about, God’s headquarters is moving. When you are driving on the road, God’s headquarters is driving. That is the church! Everything is about Christ. As a matter of fact, everything in the bible...
