  • Are You Related To Jesus?

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on May 12, 2024
     | 870 views

    The words that Jesus spoke as recorded in our text for today sound quite strange and may be strange for a Mother's Day sermon. Somehow it seems out of character for Jesus to say what He did. But He had a purpose.

    Alba 5-12-2024 ARE YOU REATED TO JESUS? Mark 3:31-35 Mother’s Day is a special time for us to honor mothers. That is a good thing to do. And hopefully, we honor them all year long, not just on this holiday. Sadly, many of us do not realize how good our mother was until she has passed on and ...read more

    Seeking God CCCAG, 1-22-23 Scripture: Isaiah 55:6-9 Introduction I might be dating myself a little here with this opening illustration, but when I was in the army, we had these things called Lister Bags.

We are here to reflect, to learn, and to grow in our spiritual journey. Today, we are going to focus on a theme that is both ...read more

  • How To Know You Are Worshiping The Saviour

    Contributed by Bruce Lee on May 28, 2025
     | 117 views

    Someone said, "An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in, and a pessimist stays up until midnight to make sure the old year leaves."

    How to Know You Are Worshiping the Saviour On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to ...read more

  • 25. When Faith Goes Quiet: David In Philistine Country Series

    Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Sep 23, 2025
     | 164 views

    There are moments in the Christian life when we stop listening to God and start listening to ourselves. Sometimes that inner voice is not a voice of faith but of fear. We call it “being realistic” or “practical,” but often it’s just fear baptizing itself as wisdom.

    When Faith Goes Quiet: David in Philistine Country September 23, 2025 Dr. Bradford Reaves Crossway Christian Fellowship 1 Samuel 27:1-28:2 There are moments in the Christian life when we stop listening to God and start listening to ourselves.

  • Two Kings, Two Paths

    Contributed by Martin Spoelstra on Oct 12, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 275 views

    Big Idea: Saul grasped for control, while David trusted God’s timing. True kingship is not measured by force but by surrender to the Lord.

    They say, “timing is everything.” And you don’t have to be a musician to know that’s true — although if you’ve ever sung the wrong verse while everyone else moved on to the chorus, you know how awkward bad timing can be. Think about how much of life depends on timing. Arriving five minutes late to ...read more

     | 91 views

    God’s strength never fails; when we are weary, He renews us, teaching us to hope, trust, and find fresh power in His presence.

    Some of us walked in today with a brave face and a tired heart. Bills and busyness have been barking at your heels. Sleep has been thin. Relationships feel fragile. The headlines howl. And somewhere deep inside, a whisper rises: “I’m worn down.” If that’s you, friend, you are in good company. The ...read more

  • Never Unloved Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 2, 2002
    based on 25 ratings
     | 5,852 views

    Some receive love, but reject it; others never know that they are loved. In either case, the Cross is evidence that we have never been unloved.

    We need to think not only about the way we relate to other people, but also about how we receive them. It is not enough simply to be friendly and cordial. We also need to look at how we receive people when they extend themselves to us. I went to a meeting this week, where all the ...read more

    Priority 1 Mark 12:28-34 September 15, 2002 “Soul Desire” A lawyer came to Jesus, spurred on in part by his Pharisee cohorts and, I believe, in part by a desire to know the truth.

    The good news is that we don’t have to be paralyzed by regret, we don’t have to let it rob us of the joy and hope that God has promised us as our birthright in Christ

    based on 51 ratings
     | 9,680 views

    Obadiah addressed his prophecy to the people of Edom because of what they wouldn’t do. What were those things?

    It was a tragedy; the city of God was attacked and destroyed. The holy things were profaned the sacred things were destroyed and the people were imprisoned. It shouldn’t have come as a surprise for over a hundred years the prophets had been warning the people that if they continued in their evil ...read more

    Those who returned from the exile were excited about rebuilding temple, so why did they take a 15 year break?

    House of the Lord Haggai 1:1-9 Everyone was excited. The talk had been of building a house of worship and everyone wanted to be a part of it.

  • Have You Realised?

    Contributed by Craig Smee on Mar 27, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,745 views

    A look at the days leading up to the triumphant entry. Understanding that Jesus would have been remembering all his miracles. As he traveled he would have seen the faces of the miracles. Does your face reflect the miracle of what He has done?

    DIVINE SUMMARY OF TRIP It would be a traumatic trip for Jesus, but one that he knew would mean your salvation. It would be his last walk in the precious Promised Land, but it would mean that you could walk with him every day. PHYSICAL SUMMARY OF TRIP Samaria to Galilee – Capernaum = 10 ...read more
