This week’s program concludes our three-part series on the armor of God. Last week we reviewed each piece of armor God has offered so we can equip ourselves for spiritual warfare.

In the same way, Jesus’ hometown was a big part of His human background. It wasn’t just some town, or some meaningless blip on Israel’s radar, as some today think it was. Bethlehem was the subject of one …
