    What You Believe Is Important! Series

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jun 20, 2023
     | 2,952 views

    Paul was always interested in what people believed. What you believe determines how you live, what you do and what you can receive. Spirit-filled Christians live different from culture, customs, and surroundings. They live as lights in a dark world.

    Sermon – What You Believe Is Important! Scripture Acts 19:1-7 “While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul traveled through the interior regions until he reached Ephesus, on the coast, where he found several believers. 2 “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” he asked them. “No,” they ...read more

    The Magnanimity Of God’s Love

    Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Dec 4, 2024
     | 594 views

    As we gather this Christmas Sunday, there is a tension in the air, one that is often masked by the lights, the decorations, and the festive songs. It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of Christmas—the gifts, the food, the joy. But do we ever stop to reflect on the true weight of this season?

    The Magnanimity of God’s Love December 22, 2024 Dr. Bradford Reaves Crossway Christian Fellowship Psalm 24:3-10 John 1:14, 3:16 Introduction: The Tension of Christmas As we gather this Christmas Sunday, there is a tension in the air, one that is often masked by the lights, the decorations, and ...read more

    Custody Battle

    Today, more than ever before, the enemy of our souls is targeting our children. If we, as parents aren't careful to raise our children in the light of God's Love and Truth, satan will be happy to raise them in the shadows of immorality and apostasy.

    I found myself torn between two topics I felt led to preach on this week, but I believe the Lord used elder Jermaine’s last sermon to help me decide. I don’t know what part of that message resonated with you; but for me, the most powerful point that he brought out was this: Speaking of the great ...read more

    Rest In The Ruins Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,776 views

    This sermon looks at rest, the importance of rest, and the types of tiredness we can have, and how Christ satisfies them with His rest.

    I want you to think of a time in your life when you were exhausted. That moment when the tank was empty, you were depleted, and you had nothing left to give. Think of that time. Think of the most tiring day, or season, in your entire life. Recall the feelings and emotions. For me, the moment ...read more

    The Black Of Sin Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 6, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,183 views

    I couldn't find a scripture that equated sin or iniquity with the color black (a color of bead used in the popular "witness bracelet"). But the Bible does talk about sin as a "deep darkness" and that description has powerful implications for Christians.

    It was a dark, dark night. A man was making his way home from working late, and as he often did, he walked home through a cemetery because it was a quicker route. However, because it was so dark, he didn’t notice a new grave had been dug in his path, and he tumbled into a 7 foot deep hole in the ...read more

    Cohabitation Series

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Mar 1, 2021
     | 3,248 views

    This is the second message in the series that looks at what Christians say about issues and then compares them to what God says about them in scripture.

    Would you please open your bibles to John 5:30? Jesus says “I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.” Now turn to Ephesians 5:1. Paul writes “Be ye therefore followers of God, as ...read more

    When families understand their true identity in Christ, they become the living stones that build vibrant churches and transform entire communities.

    Strong Families Build Strong Churches A Sermon Based on 1 Peter 2:9-10, Exodus 19:5-6, and Isaiah 43:20-21 Introduction In our modern world, we often hear about the breakdown of family structures and the decline of church attendance. These two trends are not coincidental; they are intimately ...read more

    29. The Kingdom Parables – The Seventh – The Dragnet – Part 5 Of 6 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 19, 2025
     | 80 views

    We open up some very important verses near the end of the letter to the Laodicean church, and there is plenty for us to learn. Who responds to the knocking of Revelation 3:20? What about the discipline of the Lord in Revelation 3:19? How do we become the overcomers of Revelation 3:21?

    29. THE KINGDOM PARABLES – THE SEVENTH – THE DRAGNET – PART 5 OF 6 This message concludes looking at the letter to the church at Laodicea. The previous two messages focused on this letter to the church. I have spent more time on this letter than in any of the other churches in the Kingdom ...read more

    What comes to your mind when I said the word, “Christmas”? Christmas trees, presents, lights, candles, food, parties, snow, decorations, the star, angels, Santa Claus…wow! There are about a zillion symbols we have for Christmas, aren’t there? What do they

    Living In The End Times Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,202 views

    How are we to live in the light of the end times? We're to be disciplined, clear-minded so we can pray. We’re to love one another at full strength. We’re to serve one another with whatever gift God gives us.

    Repent! The End is Near! It’s one of those cheap laughs that people get at the expense of Christians. Some Christians at least. You see it in cartoons, usually on a sign-board held by a man with a long beard wearing a white robe and sandals. And of course there are many variations of the mad ...read more

    Preparing For Blessing

    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,830 views

    God doesn’t intend for us to knock ourselves out in our little difficulties of life. He is well able to handle them for us. Elisha said, “This is but a light thing in the sight of the Lord.” It’s just a miracle! That’s the business God is in.

    Mesha, king of Moab owed Ahab 200,000 sheep. Ahab died and his son, Jehoram, took over. Mesha decided that since Ahab died, he shouldn’t have to pay. Jehoram, the new king of Israel, got Jehosophat, king of Judah, and the king of Edom together and went to make war against Moab. An urgent need ...read more

    Today Jesus is going to challenge us on our understanding of material wealth through the decisions of a unrighteous steward who was: 1. SQUANDERING HIS MASTERS POSSESSIONS (v.1) 2. SCARED OF HIS MASTERS PRONOUNCEMENT (v.2-3) 3. SHREWD IN LIGHT OF HIS

    The Gift Of The Holy Spirit

    Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 17, 2014
     | 8,561 views

    God is the greatest giver of gifts. James declares, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning” (James 1:17). God only gives good gifts.

    Title: The Gift of the Holy Spirit Text: “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with ...read more
