    We’re looking at a woman who encountered Jesus unexpectedly. At first she thought He was just another Jew, but before long she found herself face to face with God. He offered her the answer to her heart's greatest need -- God's inner presence.

    IF YOU KNEW THE GIFT OF GOD! JOHN 4:10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Did you hear about the man who had emergency surgery on his hand and lost 3 fingers?

    Not Far From The Kingdom Of God

     | 2,496 views

    You've heard the phrase, "close but no cigar". It communicates that getting almost there is not good enough. Jesus had an encounter with a teacher of the law in Mark 12 where he tells him that he was not far from the kingdom of God.

    NOT FAR FROM THE KINGDOM OF GOD Mark 12:28-34 You've heard phrases like, "close but no cigar" or “almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades”.

    The Futility Of A Christless Life Series

     | 2,206 views

    The Gospel is about rebirth. Undoing the power and bondage of sin and resurrecting a completely new man who has put on the very nature of Christ. The first place that takes place is the mind.

Reaves Crossway Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD www.mycrossway.org View This Sermon at: https://mycrossway.churchcenter.com/episodes/123580 As we’ve said in previous messages, Chapter 4 marks a critical transition in the letter to the Ephesians.

    Being Servants And Stewards Of God Series

     | 3,012 views

    We can learn from the words of Paul to his accusers the perspectives we need to adopt in the face of opposition in ministry. Paul understands where his authority comes from, knows to whom he is accountable, and trusts in God's final appraisal of his works.

    1 Cor 4:1-5 Being Servants and Stewards of God We have covered the first 3 chapters of 1 Corinthians over the last 10 weeks. Today is our 11th Sunday on this book. • I believe by now we have an idea of the problems the church in Corinth is facing. • Surely this is not a happy thing for Paul, who ...read more

    Satan Uses Pain

    Contributed by Davon Huss on May 20, 2022
     | 1,725 views

    Start with Job and then talk about how Satan wants to use pain from John 11 with the account of the raising of Lazarus (Adapted from a book by Joe Beam called "Seeing the Unseen")

    HoHum: When speaking about Job, one time I said, “Satan can do nothing without God’s permission.” This opened up a whole can of worms. If God is good and all powerful, then how do we explain the existence of pain, suffering, and evil in our world? There are no easy answers. WBTU: Take for ...read more

    I was on my way to hell living a life contrary to the will of God. The devil was trying to destroy me, I looked down the barrel of a gun that did not go off, I took the sleeping pills that didn’t work, I found myself in situations I had no business being in but one day Jesus got a hold of me.

    “Mighty God” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - What a mighty God we serve Angels bow before Him heaven and earth adore Him what a mighty God we serve.

    The following sermon on Colossians 1:15-20 is going to examine Apostle Paul’s response to a heresy that broke out in Colossae concerning Christ’s identity in hope that we might come to associate the name “Jesus’” as the second person of the Godhead.

     | 2,554 views

    Paul had a serious illness. He did not mention what it was. He prayed for healing, but God decided not to heal him. So, what did he do? Did he get upset, resentful, or discouraged? No! Through him, we must learn these important lessons on gradual healing.

    Take all the good things you do. You help others, you give to those in need, you bring a coat for our coat drive, you deliver meals, you serve. That’s so important, but it’s not the most important aspect of your righteous-life. What’s most important? WHY YOU DO IT!
