    The Search For True Happiness

    Contributed by James May on Jul 25, 2004
    based on 23 ratings
     | 3,369 views

    The search for true, lasting happiness and fulfillment in life always ends with finding Christ as Savior. The happiness that the world offers is fleeting and false.

    The Search for True Happiness by Pastor Jim May In today’s church, more than ever before, it is so easy to go after things that we believe will bring true happiness. But what we often find after we have obtained what we sought after is most often far less than what we thought it would be and ...read more

    Learn to receive the grace of God and give away to others the grace of God.

    If you’ve been with us for the last six months, you are in for a wonderful surprise today. We will complete Paul’s letter to the Philippians within the next 30 minutes!

     | 4,392 views

    If I were to ask you, "What is the Kingdom of God?', what would your answer be. Did the Kingdom of God begin with Jesus' appearing on earth? God's Kingdom has to do with God's rule: When did He begin to rule and how?

    Trust Christ with your life and let Him set you free forever from guilt and sin.

    I enjoy reading Mikey’s Funnies at times. It is a humorous, daily, blog post from Mike Atkinson. Some time ago, he posted this: If you can start the day without caffeine; if you can get going without pep pills; if you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains; if you can resist complaining ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 12,870 views

    This sermon starts by explaining what the glory of God is. Then goes on to illustrate through the life of the man blind from birth that Jesus healed, some amazing things that happen when the glory of God is revealed.

    Introduction The glory of God is a very wide and deep topic. The glory of God isn’t just one thing but several things that point to, reflect and manifest the beauty, power, presence and majesty of God. For example, Hebrews 1:3 tells us that the Son is the radiance of God’s glory. Jesus Christ ...read more

    There have always been two systems of religion in the world. One is God's system of divine accomplishment, and the other is man's system of human achievement. One is the religion of God's grace; the other is of men's works.

    Sermon on the Mount (Two Gates) Matthew 7:13-14 (NIV) There have always been two systems of religion in the world. One is God's system of divine accomplishment, and the other is man's system of human achievement. One is the religion of God's grace; the other is of men's works. One ...read more

    Is Official/Formal Church Membership In A Local Church According To Scripture? – Part 4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 7, 2025
     | 202 views

    This is the final part and we look at a numbers of issues here as well as two statements from Internet sites on why membership is important. Over and over I am opposing this notion that commitment is connected with official membership. It is judgemental and untrue. I hope this is of some value.

     | 930 views

    Though we were delivered from sin, most of us continue to listen to the voice of Satan. We are deceived by him, we believe what he says, and we are entertained by his schemes. That does not need to be the case

    Dr. Bradford Reaves Crossway Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD www.mycrossway.org We just finished a series in the Sermon on the Mount, and if you remember, Jesus started his sermon by listing the Beatitudes for the Kingdom of Heaven.

    Moses wanted to pass on this lesson from the garden to God’s people so they would learn from it, live by it, and thrive.

    Genesis 1-2 begins with the orderly creation which forms the content of the scriptural vision for the future. Genesis 2 is a more detailed account of the creation narrative where we see Adam and Eve in paradise, in the midst of an incredible garden prepared for them by God Himself.

    What authority is to be wielded by those God has called? What is authority? What limits has God placed upon us?

    Introduction: When a pastor begins to speak about “spiritual authority” in a church, there is always a cringe on the part of the congregation. Women expect a sermon about “submission,” deacons expect a message on “getting in line behind the pastor’s vision,” youth imagine being told they better ...read more

    When threatened by hostile states, how shall a nation respond? And who shall lead the nation to deliverance?

    “The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples. The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations.

    Contributed by Richard Tow on May 16, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,630 views

    In this exposition of Jesus's 8th Beatitude ("Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake"), we explore biblical revelation as to why persecution is a blessing, more specifically, what are the benefits of persecution for God's people.

    Intro We are considering the 8th Beatitude in Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Persecution is a major theme in Scripture. We see it in the first family; it runs all through the Old and New Testaments; and in the ...read more
