Contributed by David Smith on Feb 20, 2008

For Jesus, as for us, overcoming temptation was not a one-off fight. The temptation experience that we read of today was, if I might extend the boxing analogy, more like one...

It’s the first Sunday in Lent and we’re back in the wilderness with Jesus.Every year we make this journey - 40 days and 40 nights it lasts! - and every year it continues to be a painful trek (as I think it‘s expected to be). And I’m conscious of the fact that a lot of ink (real and virtual) has ...read more

Contributed by Robert Allen on Dec 14, 2013

How it is possible to celebrate the birth of Jesus and not understand who He is.

Not Recognizing Jesus John 1: 1-18 Could we be so busy that we wouldn’t recognize Jesus if He came among us today? The text today says that the world did that very thing. Christmas is really all about God becoming flesh in the form of man, in the form of His own creation. God, in the ...read more

Jesus Is Crucified Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021

Had you gone to Jerusalem that day so long ago, and had you gone just outside the wall to the north, out through the Damascus gate, there you would have seen a rocky hill. And on that hill, you would have seen three crosses, with three men on those crosses.

Good morning to Cross Church and happy Palm Sunday to you. Turn to Luke 23 with me this morning. The universal symbol of Christianity is the cross, the old rugged cross. While the empty tomb is the foundation of Christianity, the cross is the focus of Christianity. And while I cannot take all of ...read more

Giving To Jesus Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Apr 27, 2008

This is week four of our stewardship month and this week we are looking at gospel accounts of people who gave to Christ.

When people talk about their giving you will often hear them speak about giving to the church or giving to God and sometimes about their gift to Jesus. And those are all valid expressions. I do feel that we give to God through the church and that our giving is an expression of love and obedience ...read more

Growing With Jesus

Contributed by James May on Dec 30, 2018

Jesus had to submit himself to his parents in order to grow up and mature in wisdom and understanding before he could step out into ministry. Should we not humble ourselves, submit to leaders over us and grow up spiritually, emptying ourselves of pride before we attempt to minister to others.

James May From the time of Jesus’ birth to his appearance at the Jordan River to be baptized by John the Baptist, little is known about Jesus’ childhood and growing up.
