    The Mystery Of The Gospel Revealed Series

    Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Mar 17, 2022
     | 1,688 views

    Christianity cures our self-focus by giving us something greater to focus on in our lives. What I mean is that dying to your self and living for Christ completes and renews your entire life.

    Be Observant And Flexible Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,802 views

    It is all too common for individuals in ministry to become overly focused on small and often menial tasks, and then forget to take time for the people around them; and ministry is supposed to be about people! Jesus was flexible.

    We live in a hectic and fast paced world. I’m sure that many of you have noticed just how busy life can be. I read an article entitled, “Goal Oriented or People Oriented,” and I want to share with you something it says. This article states, “Many times we get caught up in our ‘to do’ lists and ...read more

    The Deception Scheme Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,028 views

    Satan tries to rob us of life – both eternal life and abundant life – through his lies and deception, and if we listen to him, he will steal away life as a thief in the night. He wants to bring about death, and loss of joy and fulfillment.

    If you’re sinking in quicksand, Satan will gladly pat you on the head. - Adrian Rodgers Satan, or the devil, is always trying to beat us down and to steal our life. The Christian vocalist Carman, in his song called “Slam,” stated of the devil, “You tried to break me, tried to shake me; tried to ...read more

    Retaining The Childlike Wonder Of Christmas Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Dec 7, 2021
     | 3,279 views

    To grow old and still retain the joy and wonder of a child at Christmas, with God’s help, quit complaining about your own problems. Instead, celebrate what God has done in sending us His Son, and share it with as many people as you can.

    A little girl came home from Sunday school waving a paper for her mother to see. “Look Mommy,” she exclaimed, “Teacher says I drew the most unusual Christmas picture she ever saw!” Her mother took one look and had to agree with the teacher. Hoping her daughter could explain her creation, the ...read more

    The Falling Away Comes First

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 18, 2024
     | 1,166 views

    The Thessalonians were looking forward to His coming. But something caused them to be “shaken in mind and troubled.” The assurance Paul gives to them gives assurance to us as well: the Lord has promised to return for His own, and we have not missed it. The falling away will come first.

    Alba 3-17-2024 THE FALLING AWAY COMES FIRST II Thessalonians 2:1-12 My wife, Janine, tells about a dream she had when she was very young, likely no more than four years old. At that time her family lived on a farm in North Dakota. There was a long driveway from the road to the house. In her ...read more

    The Promise Of Jesus In Simeon

    Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Nov 30, 2023
     | 2,219 views

    Simeon is an old man who is described as “righteous and devout.” What fascinates me about him is his expectancy to see the Christ based entirely on the promise given to him by the Holy Spirit.

    Dr. Bradford Reaves CrossWay Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD www.mycrossway.org This morning, I want to take you back to a man only mentioned 1 time in the New Testament.

    Practicing The Presence Of God: Following The Beat Of The Kingdom

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Dec 20, 2023
     | 1,067 views

    If you are a real born again Christian, you have Jesus Christ living within you. You are in fact part of His body, the body of Christ. You carry His presence with you. The presence of God, with you.

    I recall a few weeks back I was trying to get into the mindset of Christmas, so I was watching old Christmas cartoons from the mid 1900s. A fair amount of it was oddly poisonous to my spirit. It was not edifying or encouraging to my inner man. It was a lot of self focused desire for stuff, a lot ...read more

    How many of you wear glasses? I’ve worn mine since I was seven years old. I was able to wear contact lenses for about 20 years but after about 40 they don’t work so well. And since I got cataract surgery and don’t need glasses for distance, I’m using reading glasses – so I have to take them on and ...read more

    Fifth And Sixth Cities Of Refuge Series

    If we observe people these days a majority live as though they are going to live in this world forever. There is no fear of God, no thought about God’s judgement, and a majority live as though their lives on earth is permanent.

    For today’s meditation we will look at Matthew 13:10-11, “The disciples asked him, "Why do you use stories as illustrations when you speak to people?" Jesus answered, "Knowledge about the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you. But it has not been given to the ...read more

     | 4,638 views

    This is a sermon/message delivered at the 2021 officers councils for the Fiji Division of The Salvation Army. A reminder that Jesus knew the fragilities of his disciples and that they would be tempted. Like them, we all need reminding.

    Being intentional: The choice, faithful and wise or wicked Matthew 24:45: “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household to give them their food at the proper time? 46 It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so ...read more

    The Original Terrorist: Nahash "The Snake”

    God's people got into trouble because of compromise. Nahash (Snake) of Ammon planned to gouge out their right eyes, but Saul, strengthened by righteous anger and the Spirit defeated him. We should get mad too!

    Gaining A Heart Of Wisdom Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 16, 2021
     | 8,121 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
