    Radical Response

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Jun 20, 2023
     | 1,173 views

    Think about the power of sharing the Gospel, how it can pierce through the hardest heart and change a person's life. When a person responds to God, it changes their entire trajectory in life and eternal destiny.

    Last week we spoke about the powerful manifestation of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the new believers. The Spirit came down like a mighty rushing wind, filling the room, and filling them personally. That powerful filling overflowed into the streets below as people from every nation heard the ...read more

    The good news in the text is, “There is no limit to what God can do in us and through us if we allow His Spirit to freely work in us.” God can make us what we ought to be if we allow his power work in us.

    Subject: “Allowing God's Power to Work In Us” Text: Ephesians 3:14-21 “When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.

    The more I study the text of this prayer, the more astonished I become over the weight of each word our Lord said. I have become overwhelmed by the richness of this masterpiece.

    Dr. Bradford Reaves Crossway Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD www.mycrossway.org This morning we continue in the portion of the Sermon on the Mount, commonly known as the Lord’s Prayer.

    The Fear Of The Lord Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 12, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,486 views

    Fear doesn’t mean cowering in the corner like God is some North Vietnamese dictator and you are a prisoner of war. Fearing the Lord means taking God seriously and not casually.

    Too many people take God casually. Too few people take God seriously in our day. Too many people’s passion for Christ is like the helium balloons from my son’s graduation party. A few balloons had slipped up to the second floor of our home, some twenty feet up in the air. If you wonder how they ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,608 views

    There is the lifeline that connects our communion with the Lord but we can slip and fail, and so we slip down that lifeline of communion. Many of the great men of God failed but were wonderfully restored in the comfort of God. What can we lose as we slip? How do we return?

    SLIPPING DOWN THE LIFELINE – BUT NOT TO THE END (we hope) Tales are told of people in rescue attempts trying to hold on to a rope in the stormy sea or raging river and over time their grip lessens and through fatigue they slip further and further down the rescue rope until they disappear. That ...read more

     | 4,668 views

    Real community is hard to find, but the church should be a place where people can find real community. The command to love one another is the most basic and yet the most all-encompassing of the one another commands. The other one another commands are the practical demonstration of love one another.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,023 views

    Most people believe they will go to Heaven when they die. It is the great future promise of God to every human being. However, Jesus said He was the only way to get there.

    Some believe that the Earth may be the future location of Heaven (Romans 8:19-22, Matthew 5:5, Revelation 21:1; 2 Peter 3:10,13). Others believe Heaven is a planet located somewhere in the Universe or even in the Sun! In actuality, Heaven exists outside the dimensions of both space and time. What ...read more
