    I am the Resurrection and the Life John 11:17-27 Message: Disappointment in our relationship with God is something that every Christian has had to deal with.

     | 1,256 views

    Jesus went from the heights of glory to the depths of shame. He went from the wonders of heaven to the wickedness of earth. He went from exaltation to humiliation. He had experienced coronation in Heaven before Christmas only to experience the curse on this earth.

    Following Jesus means courageous obedience and joyful endurance, even when it brings suffering or opposition, because God’s presence empowers and sustains His people.

    There are weeks when life feels like a locked door. You show up with a key that used to work—prayer you’ve prayed, habits you’ve honored—and the tumblers don’t budge. Bills stack up. Sleep slips away. A hard conversation waits across the breakfast table. Your calendar looks like a crowded hallway ...read more

    Gaining A Heart Of Wisdom Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 16, 2021
     | 8,201 views

    Life is short! We must invest our time in that which is of eternal value. All that glitters is not gold. The vanities of this world are of much less value than "gaining a heart of wisdom" (Ps. 90:12). This message leads into Jesus's parable about finding a treasure in Matthew 13:44.

    What do you value most in life? The question is not what you should value most. The question is what do you value most in life? The answer to that question is not found in what we say we value. The answer is found in how we invest our lives—how we invest the precious minutes, hours, and days of ...read more

    All over the world, people recognize the power of Christmas. The reason why Christmas is “The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year” is because God keeps His promise.

    Merry Christmas to you and a big “hello” to our 11 a.m. service. I’m worshipping with Cross Church today, and hopefully, the technology you’re seeing causes all of us to focus on the message rather than the messenger.
