Jesus – Superior in Person & Message

Hebrews Series – Chapter 1 (audio sermon) 

The Messiah’s word is the final word because He is the Word. As Son of God he is greater than any angel, even the angel Gabriel.

The Most Influential Person Ever

Even if you’re not a believer its worth celebrating the birth of Jesus. Why? Well consider the following:
