A Gift For Jesus
Contributed on Dec 13, 2025
At Christmas, we celebrate Jesus's birthday. He gave US a great gift! What was it? And what gift would he like from us?

God wants to transform us into his image. It's his work but it's our work too. Paul gives five areas we need to address in putting off the old and putting on the new.
