Authority

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Nov 13, 2023

Good morning Cross Pointe Church! • Today’s message may have a few questions. • Not intended for you to raise your hands or answer. • The first question is: o Something new in God’s Word? o Familiar passage with new eyes? 

• In 2020 did you perceive it was a double standard around the country that churches were shut-down or limited in services allowed, yet bars, restaurants, big box stores and malls were deemed essential, so not nearly as affected? BODY • As Christians, I believe there are some critical questions ...read more

Received With Joy, Not Rejected

Contributed by David Zachrich on Aug 9, 2023

Rejection is painful, especially when you had hoped to be warmly received. It is the issue that Jesus addressed while in the Temple days before His arrest, persecution, and crucifixion.

Jesus concluded, “’The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? Therefore, I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.” Matthew 21:33-43 Friends ...read more

Let No-One Put Asunder

Contributed by Michael Bates on Sep 5, 2023

Christian marriage is sacred. This short sermon describes what the biblical definition of marriage is and what the biblical grounds for divorce are. God hates divorce so therefore divorce should only be the very last option in any marriage.

You probably already know what this mini-sermon is about before I even finish this first sentence. Well, you are right, it's about marriage. Now in this message, I’m talking about the biblical definition and Christian view of marriage, not the secular view and what today’s society wants ...read more

Sermon On Doubt

Contributed by William Meakin on Apr 10, 2023

Doubt is defined as a feeling of uncertainty or lack of conviction.

Francis Bacon, a former Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain once remarked: If we begin with certainties, we shall end in doubts; but if we begin with doubts, and are patient in them, we shall end in certainties. Proverbs 3:5-8 confirms: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on ...read more

Alternative Creation Theory No. 1: Theistic Evolution

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 15, 2023

The first theory of creation apart from Scripture teaches that God used evolution as part of the creative process. Is this a viable explanation for our origins? What does science and the Bible have to say about this idea?

Our look at the first of the four alternative theories to the biblical account of creation begins with what I would refer to as a philosophical mix of oil and water. On the surface, this theory might sound feasible for those who worship at the altar of reason and compromise, but it falls short ...read more

Transformed! Series

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Feb 17, 2023

From the background of Free Methodist Doctrine (Wesleyan-Arminian), we are called to be "transfigured" as Jesus by allowing the Holy Spirit to change us from the "inside-out" to live a holy and sanctified life.

IT IS CLEAR FROM SCRIPTURE THAT THE CHURCH IS OF GOD AND FOR PEOPLE. THE BIBLICAL CONCEPT OF THE CHURCH IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE FREE MEHTODIST CHURCH STATES: “THE CHURCH IS THE ORGANIC, CORPORATE INSTRUMENT GOD HAS CHOSEN TO REMAKE PEOPLE AND SOCIETY.

Jesus Christ: Our Divine Teacher, Part 2

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 4, 2022

Nicodemus had been confronted with the fact that his religious zeal will not make him righteous before God. It is only by being "born again" through the work of Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins that we are forgiven and restored to a true relationship with God.

The mark of a true learner is his or her willingness to be corrected of an erroneous belief or idea that would tend to deter them from seeking the truth about a subject of interest or topic of discussion. They are not so immovable in their thinking to where they refuse to consider anything else ...read more
