When A Miracle Makes You Mad Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Today, I want to tell the story… the story of three people – Jesus, the miracle-worker, the religious leaders, and a diseased man. And you’ll see two emotional reactions for us and we’ll see two life lessons. Along with way, I’ll even share with you one of Grimm’s fairy tales.

When people talk about miracles, they typically think of healing miracles. One day the tumor is there; the next day, it’s no longer. Someone prays for a blind man and he regains his sight. Miracles are supernatural events that offer hope and healing to people in need. We started a series on ...read more

Rider On The Storm

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 28, 2025

Jesus rides through life’s storms and history’s final tempest with self-giving love, ending evil and filling the universe with hallelujah.

Part 1 – Storms A familiar sound of trouble In 1971 a strange new sound came over the radio: a low rumble of thunder, rain in the background, and Jim Morrison’s hushed voice sliding like mist through Riders on the Storm.

Why Christians Do Not Continue In Sin (3 Of 3)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

While justification has declared us righteous, and we have received a new nature, it did not eradicate our ability to sin.

As Christians, we must be aware that we not only have been given the “new nature” from God, but that the old Adamic nature that we were born with, lies there ready to rise up at any time. HOW CAN WE LIVE A VICTORIOUS LIFE OVER SIN? As chapters 1-5 have taught us, we, who are saved by faith, now ...read more

The Book Of Mark # 56

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

In September of 2005 John Roberts went before the Senate Judiciary Committee to be examined to see if he was qualified to serve on the Supreme Court as the Chief Justice.

Many liked the comparison he made with being a judge to being an umpire in a baseball game. He stated that he felt that as a judge, he is not a player of the game, but it is his job to call the FOULS and STRIKES! All the evidence indicates that he will make a good chief justice. But that can not ...read more

Make A Choice Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 4, 2021

Christianity is about making a choice. Do I choose to do things God's way, or mine? Do I choose to follow His wishes, or the wishes of others who disagree with Him? The Bible repeatedly tells us: "Make a choice."

There is the story of the “good old boy” who came down out of the mountains one day. He was all dressed up and carrying his Bible. A friend saw him and asked, “Elias, what’s going on? Where are you going all dressed up like that?” Elias said, “I’ve been hearing about New Orleans. I hear that ...read more

The Truth About Treasure Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Aug 11, 2023

we are going to examine the text in the context of Jesus’ sermon and then apply it to our lives today. It is not up to the text to agree with you, but rather it is up to you to come to agreement with the text.

Dr. Bradford Reaves Crossway Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD www.mycrossway.org If there is one verse in the Bible that everyone will know, regardless of their faith, it is Matthew 7:1: “Do not judge, so that you will not be judged.” So, it is common that most people will take one of two ...read more

7 Barriers To Your Miracle

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 19, 2021

Barriers are obstacles that keep us from reaching our needs. Blind Bartimaeus had 7 barriers he had to surmount before he got his healing. Chances are you have some of these too. Follow the example of this great man of faith.

Resting For Greatness Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 1, 2024

The Sabbath was on Saturday, and yet we worship on Sunday. Why do we do that, and what lessons from the Jewish Sabbath can we learn as Christians?

Before we get into the heart of the sermon I want to address idea of the Sabbath. The Sabbath was the 7th day of the week and that’s SATURDAY. On the Sabbath, Jews would worship God, spend time with their families. And… essentially, they did little else. The Sabbath was a DAY OF REST. In fact, ...read more
