    Celebrating A Timeless Jesus At Christmas Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 7, 2024
     | 1,686 views

    Christmas was just the beginning of a round-trip that Jesus took from heaven to earth and back to heaven. Jesus went from sitting on a throne, to laying in a manger, to hanging on a tree. He went from being a king with a crown, to a baby with diapers, to a criminal on the cross

    Christmas kicks off at Cross Church officially today! I hope this is the best Christmas for your family and you have experienced. Now perhaps the best news concerning Christmas came from our friends at Hallmark. Hallmark announced they are really close to developing a second movie ...read more

    Two criminals were nailed to the cross beside Jesus. Both were close to Him, but responded differently and thus ended worlds apart. Blessings flow when we admit our mistakes and open our heart to God with faith. Choose wisely.

    Calvary is the place of the three crosses. • Two criminals were led to be executed with Jesus that day. • They were in a way, privileged to be so close to Jesus during the last moment of His life, and their own lives. • That gave them the chance, the last chance to know the One who could save ...read more

    Everything about Jesus’ death was designed to bring Him suffering and shame. His enemies crucified Him between two thieves for the purpose of humiliating Him. They wanted to present Him as a common criminal dying with His kind. But, as usual, Jesus tur

    The Aspects Of Authentic Salvation

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Oct 8, 2023
     | 1,222 views

    Salvation does not originate with us. We cannot redeem ourselves because our sinful nature does not want to acknowledge that God alone is the Author and Provider of our salvation as written in the Scriptures.

    The Scriptures make it abundantly clear that we are given a set amount of time on this earth, and then face the judgment (Hebrews 9:27). No one, from prince to pauper, will be exempt. We will all give an account of our lives to the Lord Jesus Christ (Luke 12:13-21; John 5:28-29; 1 Corinthians ...read more

    At the cross we see an intimate exchange between one criminal and his Messiah. And there we find not only how to have eternal life, but what that life is like. Jesus points us to the original garden relationship we can have with God, ours for the asking.

    Heavenly Hope Seven Last Words from the Cross Part 2 * Luke 23:32-33, 39-43 We are in week two of a Lenten series called, “Seven Last Words from the Cross.” We are paying attention to Jesus’ last statements, because last words matter.

     | 30,264 views

    Living a successful Christian life isn't complicated nor does living a life that pleases God does not have to be complex. Christ simplified or summarized what it takes into two steps which if we follow will lead us to living a successful Christian life.

    Two Steps to a Successful Christian Life Mark 12:28-34 Living a successful Christian life isn't complicated. I am not saying that it is easy but it doesn't have to be convoluted with a long list of do's and don'ts.

    Life offers many answers, but only one Answer. Hosea calls God’s people out for their lack of faithfulness to God’s Answer, and by implication, challenges us to faithfulness.

    If you’re a fan of comedy movies like I am, the title of today’s sermon will ring a bell. The theme song of “Ghostbusters” went something like, “When there’s something weird in your neighborhood, who ya’ gonna’ call? Ghostbusters!” There was something about the idea of a S.W.A.T. team ready to deal ...read more

    Ezra was facing a problem and came up with a solution that ended in success. From that, we can see how this godly leader dealt with a problem. And from that, we can develop our own how-to list. We can see three key components to dealing with the problems

    How do you deal with problems? 1. Recognize the problem 2. Come up with the right solution 3. Properly identify success One of the complaints some people have about expository preaching is they say it’s not practical.

    “What is a church?” Now that seems like a easy question, the sort of question one might answer in an simple sentence or two. “A church is a building in which Christians meet for worship,” is one obvious answer. “ Why is this study called Who is Church?

    How Could God Love Someone Like Me?

    It was a scandal. Jesus was hanging out with some folk who were not well-respected. In fact, they were religious and social outcasts – and Jesus is not only eating with them, He is enjoying their company.

    9 September 2005 How Could God Love Someone Like Me? Matthew 9:9-13 Introduction As we get started this morning, I want to begin with a question. If Jesus were walking among us today, would He eat at Lauren’s sports bar, “Goony Birds?” If you’re thinking that ...read more
