December 25, 2018

  • Pastor James Groleau

Grace to you in the name of the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ the Lord. Amen. Why did Jesus come? Why was He born into such lowly means? I mean really, think about it. He was born in a stable. Nothing but straw to comfort Him. Nothing but a manger, a feed trough, to hold… Read More »
