The story of two people who were looking for Jesus.

Bethlehem was just an insignificant suburb of Jerusalem, yet God delivered his greatest gift there. Which begs the question, "Does God waste his love?"

Have you ever heard someone say "God never gives us more than we can handle" in an effort to encourage someone during a tough time? It turns out that Paul doesn't promise that.

"I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”"

Do you not know, brothers and sisters—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives?

"What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means!"

Praying for the Persecuted Church

Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.

1 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

Paul addresses the question, how can one man impact the fate of the whole world?
