Sermons on Fact Not Fiction:

Learning From God's Providence

Contributed by Charles Scott on Jun 22, 2017

Jesus learned obedience by the things He suffered. Similarly, St. Paul learned from the Christ that he had persecuted, the things he would suffer as He followed the Christ. Living the Christ life, we will see how suffering aids in redemption.

Trinity 2 2017 Learning from God’s Providence The Collect O LORD, who never failest to help and govern those whom thou dost bring up in thy stedfast fear and love; Keep us, we beseech thee, under the protection of thy good providence, and make us to have a perpetual fear and love of thy holy ...read more

COVID-19 is an acronym that stands for COronaVIrus Disease of 2019. It is a form of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) a virus first identified in 2003 and it is causing worldwide panic, but this morning I want to look at another acronym, COVID: Confidence Over Viral Infectious Disease!

In a message a few weeks ago I used the story of the Golden Gate Bridge. At the time it was completed in 1937, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. During the first phase of the project 23 men fell to their deaths in the icy water. Workers were hard to keep due to the poor working ...read more

Jesus Versus Satan Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 10, 2021

There was a great deal at stake in the desert. Had Jesus lost to Satan here, God’s whole plan to save humanity would have been destroyed.

Today we conclude a series entitled, The Man Who Won’t Go Away. As we examine Luke 4, we see a telling snapshot of the temptation of Jesus. There is so much in this story that I want to get right to work. And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the ...read more

The Robe Of Grace (October 23, 2022)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 18, 2022

This vision is about Zechariah’s nation as God’s chosen people. It also appears to operate like an allegory in the sense that like the nation of Israel, Zechariah represents Israel as a high priest with filthy rag righteousness,. We too, as individuals in every age stand guilty as charged.

The Real Christmas Message* *I dislike the word "story" as in the Christmas "Story", as the word "story" gives a sense of fiction. CHRISTMAS IS A MESSAGE of TRUTH that needs to be told and heard around the world. Arranged by William Akehurst, HSWC We celebrate the ...read more

Why Is Jesus So Significant? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

Isaiah 53 “looks as if it had been written beneath the cross upon Golgotha.” Many believe this is the best single chapter in the whole Bible to explain what happened on the cross.

Today, I want to invite believers both here and a Cross Church to participate with us as we take the Lord’s Supper. We are devoting ourselves to a study of one of the powerful chapters in the Bible. Nowhere in all the Old Testament does the gospel shine more brilliantly than in Isaiah 53. I hope ...read more

I Have A Friend Who Thinks That The Bible Is Just Another Book

Contributed by Steve Malone on Mar 11, 2003

If God who we know exists were to write a book - we would expect it to be unique (to be in a class all by itself) accurate (we could trust what it says) and supernatural (it would know stuff that only God could know) - I contend the bible is such a book.

I Have A Friend Who… (pt 2) Thinks The Bible Is Just Another Book Last week we began a new message series called – “I Have A Friend Who…” The theme verse is 1 Peter 3:15… “…always be ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with ...read more

The Bible, Is It Just Another Book Series

Contributed by Steve Malone on Jan 30, 2019

In this message we will talk about how the bible is like no other book throughout human history and how all the evidence points that is was written by God.

He was sitting next to a little girl who was traveling alone, and the little girl brought out a Bible to read during the trip. The man struck up a conversation with the little girl, and after a ...read more

Church Discipline – Spanking Ourselves So God Doesn’t Have To – Part 2

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Sep 28, 2020

This week we will be introduced to the steps or the process of church discipline.

Because God loves us, He disciplines us… (Heb 12:3 NKJV) For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls.

Your Superpower - 2 Peter 1:3 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 10, 2024

It’s always a fun question to ask, “If you could have one superpower, what would you want it to be?” But the far more important question is this: “What would you do with it?” If God gave you unlimited access to divine power for the next 30 days, how would you use it?

Look at the first three words of 2 Peter 1:3 "His divine power …." That’s an awesome set of words—His divine power. They’re awesome words and their intriguing words, because so much of the frustration of life comes from not having the power we need. Wherever there’s failure in your ...read more

Christ: Compassionate

Contributed by Clark Tanner on Nov 6, 2000

Compassion comes first with Jesus.

The gospel writers did not record for us every moment of the life of Christ. At the end of his account, John tells us that “...there were also many other things which Jesus did...”. And supposes that if they were all written in detail the world would not contain the books. That may be a ...read more
