Legend Of The Candy Cane 25 Pack
$4.25Long ago there were two villages in a distant land. One was in a valley, and one was on a mountaintop. The people in the mountain village wanted to give each person in the valley a Christmas gift.
So the mountain townspeople formed a committee to think of something special. Money was limited, and each gift had to be of equal value to each person. After much time and discussion a decision was finally reached. The town’s candymaker, an elderly gentleman who had loved Jesus for many years, came up with an idea–the candy cane.
Now, you may be thinking, what is so special about a candy cane–and how can it ever be tied in with the real meaning of Christmas? Continue reading to find out how and why!
1. The candy cane is in the shape of a shepherd’s staff. Jesus is our Shepherd, and we are his flock. A sheep follows his own shepherd, knows his voice, trusts him, and knows that he is totally safe with him. The sheep will follow no other shepherd than their own. In the same way, if we belong to Jesus, we are to follow only him. (John 10:11; Psalm 23:1; Isaiah 40:11)
2. The candy cane has a “J” shape–the first letter of Jesus’s name. In the Bible, an angel came to Mary, the mother of Jesus, and said, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus” (Luke 1:30-31).
3. The wide red stripes on the candy cane represent the blood Jesus shed on the cross for each one of us so that we can have eternal life through him. He restores us and cleans us with his shed blood–the only thing that can wash away our sin (Ephesians 2:13).
4. The white stripes on the candy cane represent Jesus’s virgin birth and his pure, sinless life. He is the only human being who never committed a single sin, even though he was tempted just as we are. “He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth” (1 Peter 2:22).
5. The narrow red stripes on candy canes symbolize Jesus’s stripes, or scars, which he got when he was arrested and whipped. The Bible says we are healed (of sin) because he took those wounds (Isaiah 53:5; 1 Peter 2:24).
6. The flavoring in the candy cane is peppermint, which is similar to hyssop. Hyssop is of the mint family and was used in Old Testament times for purification and sacrifice (John 19:29; Psalm 51:7).
7. Candy canes are made of hard candy to remind us that Christ is the “rock” of our salvation. “He [Christ] alone is my rock and

Hope Of Christmas 25 Pack
$4.25Christmas. For many, the word brings thoughts of fun with friends and family and the enjoyment of giving and receiving gifts. For them, as the song says, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year!” But for others, Christmas is a painful reminder of broken relationships, lost loved ones, or financial hardships, any of which makes the season the most difficult time of the year.
Whatever feelings we have this Christmas, the Bible explains that there is good news that can give us hope and joy no matter what our Christmas season is like. But before we can benefit from this good news, we must first understand the “bad news.”
The Bad News: We are all separated from God
God did not create us like robots to automatically love and mechanically obey him. The first man and woman chose to disobey God and to go their own willful way. Each of us since then has been born sinful and disobedient toward God. All this results in spiritual separation from him.
The Bible says . . .
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23
The wages of sin is death. Romans 6:23
People have tried many ways to bridge this separation between themselves and God.
The Bible says . . .
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. Proverbs 14:12
Your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God. Isaiah 59:2
No bridge reaches across that separation . . .
except one.The Good News: God has provided a bridge–the cross
Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave. Though he was God’s sinless Son, he became a human and took our place in order to pay the penalty for our sin. By doing that he bridged the otherwise uncrossable gap between God and us!
The Bible says . . .
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:5
Christ . . . suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God. 1 Peter 3:18
God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. . . . The free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 5:8; 6:23
Christ died for our sins, . . . he was buried, . . . he was raised on the third day. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4
God has provided the only way to forgiveness of sin and eternal life. But each person must make a choice.
The Choice: Accept or reject Jesus Christ
In order to receive the forgiveness of sin and the eternal life offer

What Should I Do Now That Im A Christian 10 Pack
$0.45Are you a Christian?
Have you trusted in the cross and resurrection of Christ for salvation? If so, you now have the joy of knowing your sins are forgiven. You now have the privilege of living every day in the confidence that, in Christ, God is for you.
But what now? What does it mean to follow Jesus for the rest of your life?
I want to offer you a few specific things you should do now that you’re a Christian. No matter your circumstances, this road map will help you thrive as a disciple of Jesus.
1. Get Baptized
If you have recently become a Christian, the first thing you should do is get baptized. Why? Because baptism is how Jesus commanded Christians to profess publicly their faith in him (Matthew 28:19). Jesus’s instructions are quite clear: Believe the gospel; get baptized. In that moment, you are saying to the world, “I belong to Jesus.” As a friend of mine says, when we are baptized, we put on the Team Jesus jersey.
Baptism is also how a church affirms our profession of faith and receives us into membership. We will think more about the importance of the local church in a minute. For now, just notice that Jesus gave the ordinance of baptism to the church (Matthew 28:18-20). The Bible records that the early church brought people into membership by baptizing them after they had shown evidence of genuine repentance (Acts 2:41). When we follow Christ in baptism, we declare our allegiance to Jesus and at the same time the church affirms that our allegiance is genuine.
What should you do now that you’re a Christian?
If you haven’t been baptized, find a faithful, gospel-preaching, Bible-loving church–and pursue baptism.2. Join a Local Church
In Christ, God has forgiven us of our sins and received us as sons and daughters. He has not only acquitted us in his courtroom but also invited us to the family dinner table. Through Christ, we know God as our Father–we have a personal relationship with God.
But we shouldn’t confuse a personal relationship with a private relationship. God never intended for us to follow him by ourselves. God saves us into a community, and he designed our relationship with him to include fellow believers who are walking the same path of obedience. Being reconciled to God means being reconciled to his people (Ephesians 2:11-21; 1 Peter 2:10).
The New Testament is filled with “one another” passages for precisely this reason. Now that we are in Christ we are meant to do the following:
Love one anot

Morning Has Come 10 Pack
$0.45When I was a teenager, I experienced my first struggles with insomnia. I would lie in bed for hours without being able to drift off to sleep. As the clock ticked on, I became anxious; would I get any rest? Something about the deep hours of the night is unsettling: black darkness all around, stiff silence, the feeling life itself has become frozen. In those moments, it is easy to wonder: Will the morning ever come?
Mornings feel precious, don’t they? We might say we aren’t a “morning person,” but we still eagerly look out the window when the warm light starts streaming in. When faced with a big decision, we often say, “I’ll sleep on it,” or “I’ll think about this in the morning.” Why do we talk and act as if the arrival of a new sunrise is somehow powerful? As if it can somehow purify or help us?
The Bible says that when God created the whole world, the very first thing he said was, “Let there be light” (Genesis 1:3). Into the darkness, God spoke the very first morning. The world’s first morning was perfect. Its light was pure and unpolluted. It announced a day without sorrow, without death, without regret. In the beginning, absolutely everything was “very good” (Genesis 1:31).
Maybe that’s one reason that we feel the way we do about mornings. The first light of a new day almost promises to wash away the anxieties, disappointments, and regrets of the past. A night of sleepless suffering melts before the sunbeams. Dawn seems to offer a second chance as the day begins again. Everything seems very good.
And yet, this feeling of new hope doesn’t last forever, does it? With a new day comes not just a new beginning, but the same old fears and failures from yesterday. Have you ever started a day determined to make it better than yesterday, only to feel helpless just hours later as the habits you vowed to kick come back or the promises you wanted to keep break like glass? The day that started very good goes back to being the same struggle you remember.
The Bible has an explanation for that too. Even though the world and human beings were very good when God created them, something happened. The Creator God gave his human creations a magnificent responsibility: to love and obey him in a perfect paradise and to extend God’s reign over all the universe as his prized image bearers. But the humans he created chose something different. They rejected his rules and their responsibility. They tried to find joy and wisdom apart from God. When they did this, so

Greatest Hero 25 Pack
$4.25Have you ever noticed how often books and movies tell stories about heroes who defeat evil and save the world?
Think about Superman. He comes into the world as a baby, and when he grows up, although he looks like a normal human, he uses all his power to rid the world of evil.
Think about Anna from Frozen. She sacrifices her own life?even for people who don’t deserve it. As a result, her love brings the warmth of life to a frozen world.
And think about Frodo from The Lord of the Rings. He left his home to go on an adventure, and in great weakness carries the burden of evil, even if it kills him. Why? To save the world.
It’s like we humans write these stories because deep down, we all know what we really need. The human race needs someone?to help us, love us, and rescue us.
Someone like Jesus.
Really? “Someone like Jesus”? How do superheroes point to Jesus?
The Bible teaches that Jesus came to earth to clean up and conquer the evil that had spread throughout the world and corrupted human life.
Don’t just take my word for it. You should meet Jesus by listening to his own words. But prepare yourself: He made some pretty intense statements.
Jesus declared he could give people true life (John 5:21-29; 6:35). Jesus told people that he could forgive sins (Mark 2:1-12; Luke 7:48-49). And Jesus even claimed to have the authority of God (Matthew 28:18; John 17:2).
What kind of person would make these kinds of huge claims?
According to C. S. Lewis (author of The Chronicles of Narnia), you’ve basically got three options.
Option 1: Jesus Is Lying
Think about the strong statements that Jesus made about himself. Anyone could say that he had all authority. Anyone could just tell people that he could give them true life or forgiveness. But he’d be lying.
Yet Jesus did more than merely talk. He calmed storms?something only God can do (Mark 4:35-41). He healed people that no one else could help (Mark 5:1-20). And he raised people from the dead (Mark 5:21-43). Jesus proved his words with his actions! So Option 1 isn’t really an option.
Option 2: Jesus Is Insane
Some people might say that Jesus wasn’t lying but that he went around making wild statements. The world is full of crazy people. What if Jesus meant well but was actually out of his mind?
But Jesus did more than make incredible statements about who he was. He also gave lots of brilliant teaching (Matthew 5-7; 10; 13; 18; 23-25). People were amazed by what he taught

How To Become A Christian 25 Pack
$4.25The central theme of the Bible’s New Testament is God’s love for you as an individual. This love was revealed through Christ’s coming into the world and living among humankind, and through his dying on the cross and rising from the dead. By Christ’s death, God offers you forgiveness for your sins, and by his resurrection, the promise of everlasting life.
Christ died and rose again for the whole world, but for you to become a Christian is an individual matter. The only way to establish a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is to accept his offer of forgiveness and everlasting life. The following Scriptures show God’s part and yours. Read each verse and believe it, for it is the Word of God speaking to you.
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

Do Your Children Believe
$16.99Are your children ready to live out their faith in the real world? Most parents who value Christian faith want their children to enjoy a vibrant, growing relationship with God, both now and throughout their lives. But few of those parents ever attach this hope to an ongoing plan; therefore, they fail to lay a reliable spiritual track in front of the fast-moving train of family life. This book is a junction point where deep parental desire meets workable design and where timid inadequacy meets Christ’s sufficiency. It’s where individual families become multiplication factories, exerting a lasting impact not only on their coming generations but even on the culture at large. The death of Joshua and his contemporaries was barely old news in Israel before the people of God experienced a Judges 2:10 moment: “There arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord or the work that he had done” (ESV). One generation is all it takes. One generation who stops remembering. One generation who stops creating. One generation blinded to God’s real work in their lives who then subtly quiets the expectation of His new work in succeeding generations. Do Your Children Believe? appears at a time in history when another Judges 2:10 moment doesn’t sound so incredibly far-fetched-a day when many people’s only real knowledge of God comes from what they’ve heard and read about, not what they’ve actually seen and experienced, and when His work is more about the dutiful following of rules than the daily adventure of walking with Him as Lord. Imagine, instead, a generation of your family who knows God with intimate familiarity. Who doesn’t just pretend at faith but actually lives it. Kids who can tell you what they believe and why it matters. Teenagers who handle adversity with the resilient joy of godly wisdom. A family who prays together and worships together, growing into young adults who are equipped and inspired to keep this torch ablaze from the moment their own new families begin. This book is here to make that reality happen, written by an author equipped with not only a passion for the concept but also a proven plan for success-a wealth of first-hand personal stories from his wife and kids for how they’ve put this plan into living action with remarkable blessings in tow. When God puts His power behind families who embrace this kingdom call, on-the-ground change will result in off-the-charts revival.

Case For Christ Student Edition
$16.99There’s little question that he actually lived. But miracles? Rising from the dead? Some of the stories you hear about him sound like just that—stories. A reasonable person would never believe them, let alone the claim that he’s the only way to God! But a reasonable person would also make sure that he or she understood the facts before jumping to conclusions. That’s why Lee Strobel—an award-winning legal journalist with a knack for asking tough questions—decided to investigate Jesus for himself. An atheist, Strobel felt certain his findings would bring Christianity’s claims about Jesus tumbling down like a house of cards. He was in for the surprise of his life. Join him as he retraces his journey from skepticism to faith. You’ll consult expert testimony as you sift through the truths that history, science, psychiatry, literature, and religion reveal. Like Strobel, you’ll be amazed at the evidence—how much there is, how strong it is, and what it says. The facts are in. What will your verdict be in The Case for Christ?
