    A Christmas Love Worth Waiting For Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 8, 2021
     | 3,338 views

    You’ll never understand God if you ONLY approach Him as your King, your Shepherd, or even your Father. You must also see Him as your Husband before you can understand how intimate your relationship with God truly is.

    Merry Christmas to you all. Find Hosea 3, if you will – page 955 in your pew Bibles. I’m looking forward to tonight’s Christmas celebration with the Cross Church. I hope many of you will join my family and me for a wonderful time. Centuries before Mary and Joseph, the Wise Men, or the Shepherds … ...read more

    I have invited you here today to look at one of the bible female characters whom story has been woven and knitted into the fabric of the scripture.

    In Joshua's battle with the five kings, God performed 4 extraordinary miracles: supernatural endurance, confused their enemies, sent large hail on them, and stopped the sun. Joshua demonstrated audacious faith so God's will could be done!

    AUDACIOUS FAITH Josh. 10:5-13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE GREAT PHYSICIAN 1. A doctor died and went to heaven, where he found a long line at St. Peter’s gate. As was his custom, the doctor rushed to the front, but St. Peter told him to wait in line like everyone else. Muttering and looking at his ...read more

    If you set under the ministry of preachers you will notice that some preacher preach different styles of sermons, such as:

    1. Expository preaching – this is preaching through a book of the Bible verse by verse. 2. Textual preaching - This style falls between expository and topical preaching. Textual preaching is preaching on a section of the Bible without preaching the entire book of the Bible. 3. Topical preaching – ...read more

    A Forgotten Blessing Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Dec 10, 2021
     | 3,692 views

    Counting our blessings can often be a way of encouraging ourselves in our walk with Christ. However, there's one blessing we often forget.

    In Psalm 103:12 David exhorts himself in this way: “Bless the Lord, o my soul, and forget none of his benefits.” It’s an interesting sentiment. The great King David finds it necessary to instruct himself, or remind himself, not to forget any of the Lord’s blessings or benefits. If David had to ...read more

    Hold Fast To The Lord

    There are some commands in the Bible that instruct us to "hold fast to" ... We each have things we "hold fast to". Are they Biblical or are they worldly?

    Hold Fast To The LORD Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:9-12 “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

    When God Calls Your Name: Samuel Series

    Contributed by Scott Bayles on Sep 11, 2021
     | 6,037 views

    How would you respond if God called your name not once, but twice? In the Bible, God calls plenty of people often by name, but I’ve only found seven times where God calls out someone’s name twice in a row. In each instance, what follows is a life-changing encounter with the God of creation.

    When God Calls Your Name… Twice: Samuel Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 8/14/2016 Hearing your name called can evoke different responses depending on the circumstances. For instance, there’s a sense of fear and anxiety when you’re a student and you hear your name called over ...read more

    Is He Your God? Series

     | 3,989 views

    Good Friday: Psalm 22 is an amazingly accurate depiction of the events that surrounded Jesus’ crucifixion, and there is a lot we can learn from this passage about God’s character and His power over both life and death.

    Our passage that we will examine today is amazing, for it is a prophecy of the passion story, or an account of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, that was written nearly 800 years before the birth of Jesus. James Smith says that, “Such a hope [as is found in this passage] must be restricted to the ...read more

    Sermon # 37 - Excuses People Give Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 27, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,105 views

    Jonah has some lame excuses for why he did not want to obey God and preach to the city of Nineveh. There are many others in the bible who gave excuses and the question is “Are we also giving excuses?” or “Are we fulfilling the Great Commission of the Lord Jesus and leading others into His kingdom?”

    We read in Jonah 4:2, “And he prayed to the LORD and said, “O LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that you are a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and relenting from disaster.” ...read more

    Sermon # 44 - God Is Mindful Of Us Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 24, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 621 views

    Jonah sat outside the city of Nineveh in the blazing heat fuming against God, but God graciously appointed a plant to grow and give shade to Jonah. No matter what our situation is, let’s remember that God is mindful of us and He will never leave us nor forsake us.

    For our meditation let us look at Jonah 4:6, “Now the LORD God appointed a plant and made it come up over Jonah that it might be a shade over his head, to save him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the plant.” (ESV) God gave Jonah a task to go and preach against ...read more

    The prophet Jeremiah heard a message from another man who claimed to be a prophet. His name was Hananiah, but the LORD knew he was a false prophet. Jeremiah, in turn, gave Hananiah a message from the LORD.

    The False Prophet Hananiah Introduction: False prophets—those who prophesy in the name of any “god” or “goddess” besides the One True and Living God—have been a problem since Old Testament days. Whether it was the serpent in Eden lying to Eve about not dying, to those who teach false doctrines ...read more

    In Exodus 14:15-16 we read, “The LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to move forward [toward the sea].

    It All Comes Down To This

    Contributed by Terry Hovey on Apr 8, 2023
     | 1,801 views

    It all comes down to this… It’s a phrase we’ve all used at some point or another. It speaks of a defining moment—a critical stage in your life—a momentous occasion. A point in life where everything changes. In one way or another, nothing will be the same from this point on.

    It Comes Down to This Luke 24:1-12 I am not a football fan. As a matter of fact, I’m really not a fan of any kind of sports. Now, I love to play golf, and maybe some other games, but I really dislike sitting and watching games. Unless it’s maybe an HS game, and I know some of the players, but ...read more
