    A Good Turn Daily is easier said than done - make sure you take care of your fitness and prayerlife first. Create for yourself a daily personal victory, because we need tons of perishable wreaths to feel good.

    NIKE - Shoe - Goddess of victory - well known to the people of Corinth - A little odd for us at church, because typically we would prefer humbleness and such, Jesus teaching: many who are first will be last, and the last will be first. - 1John 5:4 What does our faith give us overcoming the world? - ...read more

     | 209 views

    In the first chapter of 2 Samuel, David receives news that King Saul — the man who tried to kill him, who obsessed over destroying him — has died. If anyone could celebrate, it would be David.

    Saul’s Death and David’s Lament October 29, 2025 Dr. Bradford Reaves Crossway Christian Fellowship 2 Samuel 1 Tonight we begin the Book of 2 Samuel, although technically nothing “new” begins here.

     | 12,722 views

    A different twist on how a mom bought a request to jesus that demonstrates the kind of moms we honor today. Mothers are soft voices saying, "i love you." and mothers are a link to god, a child's first impression of god's love.

    A STRANGE REQUEST FROM MOM! Jim McCutchen • A mother was talking to an old college friend and said, “I remember before I was married that I had three theories about raising children. Now I have three children and no theories Kings can pass away; other kings can rise. Presidents can ...read more

     | 8,965 views

    The Hebrew word translated “plans” in Jer. 29:11 (machashabah) means “imaginations” (Prov. 6:18; Lam. 3:60-61). It could read, “I know the imaginations I have for YOU…” God has dreams of what He'd like to do for you; are you willing to step into them?

    GOD’S DREAMS FOR YOU Jer. 29:11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: NOT FORGIVING, GOING FISHING 1. There was a little boy in the grocery store with his mother. He’d already gotten in trouble for touching things, and was forbidden to touch anything on the shelves. 2. When his Mom had her back turned, she ...read more

    The writer to the Hebrews attempts to show that the Offering of Christ at Calvary was far better than that of Abel. Abel offered up the first human animal sacrifice to atone for his sins, as good as that was-it pales in comparison to what Christ offered.

    The Holy Spirit does not work through a vacuum but through believers, the body of Christ. The first church set us a good example: Build on the foundation of God’s Word, build a strong fellowship, and make prayer a priority.

    The Spirit works through the Body of Christ This passage paints for us a very happy picture. • Earlier on, Apostle Peter preached and "about 3000 were added to the church." • It is the start of something new. Something the apostles have not done before. • But it looks like a smooth start. ...read more

    The Spirit descends upon Gentile believers before Peter is ale to finish her sermon. When Peter shares what happened with the church leaders they realize that the kingdom of God is open to more people than they had first imagined.
