Intro ; Probably the least recorded time of Jesus’ “Journey To the Cross” is the days of his childhood. Matter of fact I know of only two places in the scripture that record anything about his childhood. 14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a…

Intro; One of the greatest things about “God So Loved” is that his love is more than just words He speaks, it is the action that He takes that makes His love real! 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

Intro; Few portions of Scripture are as misinterpreted, misunderstood, and misapplied, as this section we will look at this morning.
