    What Fills My Cup?

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Oct 31, 2024
     | 2,751 views

    Whenever we are faced with a situation, what is within our hearts will shine forth. Jesus said the things we say and do are generated from what is in our heart. This message addresses the question "What fills my cup?"

    What Fills My Cup? Scripture: Matthew 12:34-37; Ephesians 3:16-19; Colossians 1:9-10 Good morning, Strangers Rest. Jesus said in Matthew 12:34-37, “(34) Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. (35) A good man out of the ...read more

    Over Coming Battle Fatigue

    Contributed by Don Campbell on Apr 25, 2023
     | 1,991 views

    The first line of the hymn Peace in the Valley reflects the discouragement that often fills the hearts of weary travelers: “Well, I’m so tired and so weary, but I must go along; till the Lord comes and calls me away.” If we are fighting the good fight, we are subject to battle fatigue.

    OVERCOMING BATTLE FATIGUE The first line of the hymn Peace in the Valley reflects the discouragement that often fills the hearts of weary travelers: “Well, I’m so tired and so weary, but I must go along; till the Lord comes and calls me away.” Most of us want that call to be like Abraham’s, to ...read more

    The Days Of Elijah Series

    Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Jan 9, 2024
     | 2,274 views

    Elijah is credited with 10 miracles happening during his ministry, some of which we will talk about here. Yet Elijah has no book in the Bible named after him. Elijah was human with emotions, disappointments, fears, and doubts. ‌

    Dr. Bradford Reaves CrossWay Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD www.mycrossway.org Introduction In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel, and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years. 30 And Ahab the son of Omri ...read more

    The False Prophet At Bethel Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 14, 2025
     | 699 views

    Just because one claims to be an old prophet doesn't mean he's a true prophet. This message recounts what happened to a true prophet who listened to an old but false prophet. The true prophet paid dearly.

    Introduction: Bethel was the scene of some good encounters between people and the LORD. Sadly it was also a place where Jeroboam established a false religion, centering on the worship of a golden calf. The background for this message comes from 1 Kings 12-13 Full disclosure: Sermon Central has ...read more

    An Audience Of One Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 1, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,253 views

    This passage of Scripture teaches us that when we pray to the Lord, and even give monetarily, that it is to be done entirely for Him and not as a public display for others. Every act of worship is to be seen only by an audience of One.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “An Audience of One,” based on a song by Christian music artist Big Daddy Weave. Allow me to share some of the lyrics of this song: “I come on my knees, to lay down before You; bringing all that I am, longing only to know You. Seeking Your face, and not ...read more

    Ministry can often be discouraging. The battle may be against opposition or indifference. We can learn from Elijah about battle fatigue.

    God answers prayer in three main ways: 1) He can say "Yes" according to His Will, 2) He can answer "No" because He has something better in mind for you,... or...3) He can say "Not Yet" because the timing is not right according to His greater plan and purpose.

    GOD ANSWERS PRAYER! TEXT: Jeremiah 33:3. INTRODUCTION Today, as we continue our journey into the Word of God, Our focus remains firmly fixed on discovering... “...those things most surely believed among us” (Luke 1:1).

     | 3,066 views

    How can we avoid the unforgivable sin? 1. We must respect the Holy Spirit as God (vs. 30-31). 2. We must understand blasphemy against God's Spirit (vs. 31-32). 3. We must receive God's help from the Holy Spirit (vs. 33-37).

    Choose paths inside God’s bounds that lead to purity. Choose to love one another and so reflect Christ. Choose hard work leading to character that honors Christ. Choose to grieve in hope because God has made death sure in Him.

    Heavenly Mindedness That Produces Good Works Series

     | 5,539 views

    How does our citizenship in heaven shape the way we think and interact with the world around us? How does it inform our understanding of social justice? How does "eagerly" waiting for the Coming of Christ affect the way we live life?

    Intro We are in a profound transition both in the church and in the nation. The presidential election is only weeks away. The results will take our nation and our lives in one of two very different directions. The church is also being reconfigured. Even now it looks very different than it did seven ...read more

    35) Confirming Another's Salvation In Jesus Christ Series

    Contributed by Brandon Max on Feb 27, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,509 views

    Religion often makes things confusing - but people can not afford to be confused about the Gospel. Salvation is through Jesus Christ alone. We should all learn to take the time to confirm a persons salvation in Jesus Christ before just assuming they are saved.

    35) CONFIRMING ANOTHER'S SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST TEXT: Acts 8:30-31 30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me?

     | 2,176 views

    This message is about the power of prayer and the criteria we should use when considering who we should have praying for us in our times of need and if we meet that same criteria when praying for others in their times of need.

    Who Do You Want Praying For You? Scripture: Mark 11:22-24; James 5:13-16; Proverbs 18:21 The title of my message this morning is “Who Do You Want Praying For You?” Now before I give you any context whatsoever, I want to ask you a question: “If you were in need of prayer, who would you go to ...read more

    How Do I Handle My Anger? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 22, 2021
     | 1,869 views

    The Bible says a Christian is a changed person. Like HGTV and the fixer-upper homes, a Christian is to have a "before and after" in their story. Our "after" is supposed to be really different than our "before."
