    They Come To Succoth. Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 6, 2022
     | 1,639 views

    The men of Succoth, lived on an excellent army route between Canaan and the East, and having regard only for self and no concern for Israel's deliverance and no compassion for the sufferings of Gideon's gallant little band, would give no bread to their brethren.

    They come to Succoth. Ex 12:37-40. 37The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Sukkoth. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children. 38Many other people went up with them, and also large droves of livestock, both flocks and herds. 39With the dough the Israelites ...read more

    We have songs about Jehovah Jireh, but did you know the name is only in Scripture once? What does it mean and how should it impact our approach to life? Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell.

    We’ve been going through a series of your favorite verses. Our ministers that meet from lunch surveyed their churches and posted on Facebook to find out people’s favorite verses from which to preach. What surprised me was that these verses weren’t about making ourselves feel good, they were ...read more

    Are You Among The Righteous?

    Contributed by Michael Bates on Mar 17, 2024
     | 616 views

    For all of us there's only two spiritual paths to choose from: righteousness (sinless & God's way) or unrighteousness (sinful & Satan's way)? Which path are you following today?

    Lets all please read together Jeremiah 5:1-9 CSB 1 Roam through the streets of Jerusalem. Investigate; search in her squares. If you find one person, any who acts justly, who pursues faithfulness, then I will forgive her. 2 When they say, “As the Lord lives,”they are swearing falsely. 3 Lord, ...read more

    Experiencing Christmas All Year Round Series

    Jesus went from the heights of glory to the depths of shame. He went from the wonders of heaven to the wickedness of earth. He went from exaltation to humiliation. He had experienced coronation in Heaven before Christmas only to experience the curse on this earth.

    Christmas is in high gear at Cross Church and allow me to say to wish you a very merry Christmas! Thank you for joining me for a Christmas sermon series entitled, A Timeless Christmas. Christmas is by far and away America’s most popular holiday. I bet it’s even your personal favorite holiday. Nine ...read more

    Paul Vs Stephen (About The Resurrection Of Jesus)

    Contributed by Je Layugan on Oct 17, 2023
     | 1,456 views

    Paul and his friends could not win an argument against Stephen. In the end, Paul had an epiphany which lies in the understanding that God's love extends not only to Stephen and those he once persecuted but encompasses everyone, including himself.

    First, I am praying that at the end of this sermon, 1. We would have the desire to experience the deepest significance of Jesus’ resurrection in our lives. 2. We will never think of Paul’s story and Easter, the same way again. [PAUL/SAUL] • Paul was born, in about the same year or a little later ...read more

    Sermon $ 42 - God Of Restoration Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 1, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,331 views

    God specializes in restoring those who are lost and gone away from Him. Everyone needs to be in the place God has assigned for us, for only there are we assured of God’s protection, privilege and we will also find our true worth.

    We read in Luke 15:20, “And he rose up and went to his own father. But while he was yet a long way off, his father saw him, and was moved with compassion, and ran, and fell upon his neck, and covered him with kisses.” (Darby) We meditated a little on this passage in the last sermon, considering ...read more

    What Is Christianity?

     | 1,251 views

    More than ever this world needs to know the identity of Christ. He is both fully God and man at the same time. This matters for He alone is the atoning sacrifice for our sins and the only way, truth, and life by which we get to heaven.

    What is Christianity? 1 John 1:1-4 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 “Number of years ago, in preparation for a discussion period on a Christian radio program, an interviewer went into the streets of Philadelphia to ask people this question: “What is Christianity?” The ...read more

    Ascended: A Journey To Spiritual Awakening Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on May 29, 2024
    based on 4 ratings
     | 745 views

    John 3:1-17 is about being reborn in Christ and recognizing Jesus as the only authority who has gone up to heaven. This truth unfolds in three parts: Waking up to Spiritual Reality, Giving in to God's Change, and Holding on to Jesus.

    Nicodemus was a big deal, a religious leader. But he was curious about Jesus, so he came to Him at night. Jesus told him something wild: to see God's kingdom, you have to be born again. It's like waking up to a whole new level of reality, a spiritual one. To see God's kingdom, you have to be born ...read more

    The Battle Belongs To The Lord

     | 3,599 views

    Jehoshaphat faced an impossible foe. He was outnumbered, out-gunned, and out-maneuvered. He knew his only hope was divine intervention. He called on God & God answered. We need to know that the battle belongs to the Lord, not us!

    THE BATTLE BELONGS TO THE LORD 2 Chron. 20:2-25 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: BRAIN TRANSPLANT NEEDED 1. A man needed a brain transplant and met with a brain surgeon to discuss the prices. The surgeon said, “One pound of chimpanzee brain costs $1,000. One pound of human brain costs $5,000. Lastly, one ...read more

    But if we choose to run to God and rely on His strength to help us, we can not only defeat our opposition, because God has been making us better, stronger and wiser through the process of life. Believers are built for this.

    Sermon: Built for This. Scripture Lesson: Numbers 13:26-33 “to Moses, Aaron, and the whole community of Israel at Kadesh in the wilderness of Paran. They reported to the whole community what they had seen and showed them the fruit they had taken from the land. This was their report to Moses: “We ...read more

    Only two Christian groups do not practice some form of water baptism: Quakers and the Salvation Army. All others practice water baptism but disagree on the mode (immersion/sprinkling) and the purpose (to be saved/because one has been saved).

    Many today talk about new goals, going to the next level, moving to a new dimension, but many are not willing to pay the price. Not only must we be willing to pay the price to get there, but they must also pay a price to stay there!

    In ancient times, mariners & explorers traveled by using fixed lights in the sky to guide them across great expanses of oceans or lands. GPS may get you to an EARTHLY destination but only Jesus will get you to your HEAVENLY destination!

    JESUS IS OUR NORTH STAR Ps. 119:89 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. There was a husband that died. He left his wife $20,000. After the funeral, his wife told her friend that she was totally broke.

    While the people were complaining, Pharaoh was rejoicing. From his perspective, Moses had made a tactical error. He had led Israel into a dead-end with some pretty ticked off Egyptians blocking their only way of escape. GOTCHA!!!

    March 01, 2025 What was God’s master plan in delivering the Children of Israel from slavery? Was it just to prove that the gods of Egypt were impotent against him? Was it just to judge Egypt for their harsh treatment of Jacob’s descendants? Was it merely a demonstration of his power? Was it ...read more

    Addiction may be strong, but Jesus is stronger. No matter how long you have been bound, the power of the cross is available to set you free. God’s desire is not only to deliver you but to give you the grace to live in lasting freedom.
