Benefits Of The Resurrection

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Apr 10, 2023

By rising from the dead, Jesus proved His authority and power to break the bonds of sin and to assure forgiveness and eternal life to all who accept His gift of salvation. Securing our victory over death raised up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

Our Dialogue With Non-Christians Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 22, 2017

I think what happens is that when someone hears the Gospel–that God so loved us, weak and sinful though we are, that He gave His only Son up to death, that this Son rose and wants to give us the same gift–there are only two possible responses.

THE AWESOMENESS AND NEARNESS OF GOD Psalm 99 The kingship of the LORD is awesome: it makes the people (or peoples) to “tremble” at His presence (Psalm 99:1).

Sermon # 13 - The Way Of The Cross Part 2 - Standing Around The Cross Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 10, 2025

Around the cross of Jesus were many people and it is interesting to note how each of them responded to the Savior’s cruel death. We must examine ourselves too to make sure that we truly understand and value what the Loving Lord Jesus did for us on our behalf on the cross of Calvary.

We read in John 19:17-18, He went out, carrying his cross, and came to "The Place of the Skull," as it is called. (In Hebrew it is called "Golgotha.") There they crucified him; and they also crucified two other men, one on each side, with Jesus between them. (GNB) That day when ...read more

Smyrna: The Persecuted Church (Faithful In Suffering) Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Feb 14, 2026

When faithfulness becomes costly, Jesus reminds His church that suffering does not have the final word. He knows our affliction, limits the enemy’s power, and calls us to stand firm in His victory — because those who remain faithful will share in His life beyond death.

## **INTRODUCTION — A CHURCH THAT KNEW WHAT IT MEANT TO DIE AND LIVE AGAIN** As we begin this morning, before we listen to what Jesus says to Smyrna, it is important to look back at where we have been. We started our study by stepping into Revelation chapter 1. Before Jesus corrects His church, ...read more

Was God Angry At Jesus? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

The New Testament writers were constantly going back to Isaiah 53. Isaiah 53 really was the basis for their understanding of what happened on the cross. I wonder did the resurrected Jesus preach from Isaiah 53 to the two disciples on the Emmaus Road?

I need your help in choosing two topics for an upcoming sermon series entitled, You Asked For It.

Few shoes are as iconic as Disney’s glass slipper. If you remember, Prince Charming is looking for the mysterious princess and Cinderella’s glass slipper leads him finally to her. For centuries people have read the ancient words of Isaiah 53 and wondered who wears “the glass slipper”?

What Difference Does The Resurrection Make? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Pagans expected nothing to happen after a person dies. Jews expected the faithful to be resurrected at the end of time. And Christians have felt that not only has Christ risen from the grave but His resurrection guarantees His follower's resurrection.

Happy Resurrection Day to Cross Church! Maybe you grew up thinking miracles happened a long time ago, if at all. Over the course of the next few weeks, we’ll introduce you to both ancient miracles and modern ones. But if you’re looking for a miracle, you need not look any further than the empty ...read more

The Point Of No Return

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 6, 2021

Many Christians believe that they are disciples of Jesus when, in fact, they are not. In this message, we see that there is a cost to being a disciple of Jesus and it’s a decision that we must make.

Good morning. I pray that this Sunday morning finds you in good health and looking forward to this morning’s message. Let’s open with a word of prayer.

Unexpected Events (Part 1) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 7, 2021

Pivotal events can happen unexpectedly in our lives. If we are able to accept that fact and (at the same time) trust God with the changes that accompany those events, we will manage life better. This message explores unexpected events in Moses's life.

Today I want to talk about two unexpected events in Moses’s life. One was a glorious encounter with God that set him on the course for the last 40 years of his life. The other was a painful experience that equipped him to fulfill the mission given to him in the first encounter. In both cases the ...read more
