The Christmas story has it's roots in the story of Abram in Genesis 15, when Abram believed in the promise of God that resulted in his righteousness.

Understanding Covenant
The Bible is a covenant document that details the various covenants that God makes with mankind. To truly appreciate the power of that statement, and therefore to understand the kind of relationship and connection we have with God, we need to step back and understand what it is a covenant.

The Way of Cain | Genesis 4:16-25
The life of a Christian is a fight, a good and worthy fight, but a fight nonetheless. It is a fight to keep the faith in Jesus, when there is a World that continues to offer and entice us to follow its way, and seek comfort, and hope from its ways. This is the way of Cain and it only leads to sorrow.
