     | 30,169 views

    Jesus tells us that we’re expected to "bear fruit." What does that mean and how can we do it so that we honor His desire in our lives on this matter?

    OPEN: Back in the 70’s, a man and his wife were driving to thru Cape Cod, when they spotted a field loaded with blueberries. They stopped and proceeded to eat their fill. As they turned back to the car, the husband noticed that the rear door was open. In the back sat a Cape Codder munching away ...read more

    Facing The Challenge Of A Warped Society

     | 1,136 views

    Paul expected all of his congregations to listen to their minds and order their hearts in the right way. He told the folks at Thessalonika that they had no need for anyone to write them about loving their neighbor.

    Saturday of the 21st Week in Course 2023 Ordinarily we tend to associate St. Paul’s teachings on chastity and lust with the letters to the Corinthians. But that’s shortsighted. Remember that even as far back as Plato and Aristotle, the virtuous life was associated with men and women who would ...read more

    The Promise Of Jesus In Simeon

    Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Nov 30, 2023
     | 2,269 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. Yet he is someone who fascinates me. Simeon is an old man described as “righteous and devout.” What fascinates me about him ...read more

    God is interested in giving you a new song. If you continue waiting on Him, you will soon sing and dance. The thought of God toward you is of peace ... to bring you to an expected end.

    This message will serve to open our eyes to the fact that the leaders who seek the Lord, can expect God to do great things including placing people in certain positions to meet a need.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (1 Corinthians 1:10-11) (10) “Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined ...read more

     | 6,278 views

    When we face storms in life, what is important is our response to them. God expects us to exercise faith and claim His peace. He will lead us through them.

    FAITH UNLOCKS HIS PEACE – Mark 4:35-41 Last week we look at 2 disciples walking towards Emmaus, downcast and hopeless, and how Jesus joins them in their walk and transformed them. TODAY we’re seeing another journey – a BOAT RIDE across the Sea of Galilee. What the disciples experienced is not ...read more

    The God Of Hope Series

    based on 14 ratings
     | 17,505 views

     Whereas the English word “hope’ may have an element of uncertainty in it, the Greek words in the New Testament always speak of a sure expectation of some good outcome or positive result.

    THE GOD OF HOPE INTRO ----- ILLUSTRATION - "I had something to look forward to." The story is told of a muti-millionaire businessman who greatly changed the lives of a sixth-grade class in a poor downtrodden township. This was an area where most of the students would not finish formal schooling. ...read more

    What Is Jesus To You? Series

     | 6,022 views

    We all have expectations of who Jesus is and what He is about. Are yours correct? Jesus’ family, friends, and even His enemies had misconceptions about His real purpose.

    What is Jesus to you? It’s an honest question. A recent online poll found that 37% said Jesus may or may not have even existed and that there is no way to know for sure, 23% said that the gospels are a bunch of fictional tales, 16% say that he may have existed but so many myths have grown up around ...read more

    Mixing Politics And Religion

    Contributed by Harold Orndorff on Jul 11, 2004
    based on 39 ratings
     | 6,732 views

    Election sermons were common, even expected, in early America. This is a 21st century election sermon. Here we explore, not party politics, but principles of politics from the word of God.

    Mixing Politics and Religion Politics is the process by which we establish government. The word "politics" is derived from two words. The first, "poly", is a Latin word meaning many. The second, "tics", describes blood-sucking creatures. I’m kidding, of course, but - In my many years of ...read more

    What would it look like for you; to exceed the ordinary, the usual and the expected in your home? What would it look like for you to go to great lengths to make your home Extreme?

    Extreme Living In The Home Extreme Living – part 2 I want to start off our time together with 2 passages of Scripture… 36One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to come to his home for a meal, so Jesus accepted the invitation and sat down to eat. 37A certain immoral woman heard he was there and brought ...read more

    New Year Sermons : Embracing The Seasons Of Our Lives

     | 1,110 views

    Beloved, seasons are inevitable, but they are also a gift. Just as the farmer cannot skip the preparation or growth stages and expect a harvest, we must embrace every season God places us in.

    Embracing the Seasons of Our Lives Introduction Greetings, beloved! Today, I want us to reflect on the seasons of our lives. Just as the natural world moves through seasons of planting, growing, and harvest, so do our lives. Each season has its purpose, and God works through every moment to ...read more

    While You're Waiting

     | 4,793 views

    Beyond salvation, we must be serving. Christians don’t know when He will return, but we know WHAT He expects! We know what to BE, and what to DO.....

    A newspaper (Houston Chronicle, 11/3/92, p.11a), printed an article some years ago about the church known as Mission for the Coming Days. That “church” disbanded on Nov 2, 1992. The pastor had been put in jail...(for a very good reason)! It seems that his central message was the return of Christ ...read more

     | 14,086 views

    As the disciples waited for the "fire of heaven" to fall on them, they waited with expectation and preparation. It was not sitting still. I was getting ready. We as believers need to be engaged in the same preparation for God to work in us.

    Light The Fire Again Preparing for Spiritual Breakthrough Acts 1:13ff This is a church on fire This is a Holy Spirit place It is our burning desire to lift up Jesus name Let fire burn in every heart To light the way defeat the dark Let the flame of love burn higher This is a church - This is a ...read more

    Thanking Hard

    Contributed by Craig Benner on Nov 27, 2013
     | 3,165 views

    Sometimes it does not make sense to be thankful. But it is always the will of God. If we can thank God in the hard times, and keep a right attitude, He will reward us with blessings that we never expected.

    Thanking Hard Mark 6:34-44----Central Text Hard times---the disciples treasury only had 200 pennies (possibly the value of $32 in today's economy) and only one boy out of 20,000 people had any food on their person. It would have been a miracle to have bought food for 20,000 people for that ...read more
