Sermon # 45 - Favor With God And Men Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 22, 2023

Want to find favor with God and men? God’s word teaches us how this can be possible. Also, we can learn some practical principles from the lives of those in the bible who did find favor with God and men.

The words of Solomon as found in Proverbs 21:1, “The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will.” (ESV) All through this year we have studied the various aspects of the hand of God, as is made evident in our lives as His children. The above ...read more

Sermon # 42 - Time To Rise Up Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 17, 2025

Jonah was seated in the wrong place waiting for God to pour out His wrath on the city of Nineveh. There were many others in the Bible who were in the wrong place like Jonah. If we are in such a place, God reminds us to rise up and go, to fulfill His purposes for our lives.

We read in Jonah 4:5, “Jonah went out east of the city and sat down. He made a shelter for himself and sat in its shade, waiting to see what would happen to Nineveh.” (GNB) God sent the prophet Jonah to the city of Nineveh with a message. When Jonah preached, the people of Nineveh received the ...read more

Do Not Be Afraid (Christmas Message)

Contributed by Meshak Dayanand on Jan 2, 2021

Christmas is not a message about Santa Claus, Christmas Tree, Star, Mary, Joseph or Manger neither it's a topic to discuss about it's date or the hot topic to debate in television. It's about God sending his Son Jesus Christ for you and me in fact for the whole world.

Greetings of the seasons in the sweet name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I am grateful to God for giving me this wonderful opportunity.

The Injustices Of Life

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 18, 2022

Life can throw many hard things at us. We may even be tempted to let our hope in God fade. We want to scream, “Where is the justice?” As we move along a little further in Joseph's life God would want us to be encouraged that he will always see his children through.

Today I want to talk about the injustices of life. Have you walked through a season when you couldn't seem to catch a break? Did you ever wonder if good days would ever return? Maybe you lost a job around the same time a loved one died. Or you were going through a painful divorce just as ...read more

Christmas Sunday 2019 - Who Are The Wise Men? Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Dec 21, 2019

In the account of the Wise Men in Matthew 2 we see a grand variety of characters. All who are living can be placed somewhere in the spectrum of characters ranging from Herod to the Magi. Let's examine ourselves to see where we fit into the narrative.

Sermon # 12 - What Is Our Identity? Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 26, 2024

When Jonah revealed his true identity, the other seafarers must have been astounded. We as a church are called to let the world know that the God we believe and worship is the true and living God, creator of heaven and earth and let’s not miss the opportunity to do so.

We read in Jonah 1:8, Then the men said to Jonah, "It is your fault that this terrible thing is happening to us. Tell us, what have you done? What is your job? Where do you come from? What is your country? Who are your people?" (ERV) The word of God came to Jonah to go to Nineveh, but ...read more

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 25 – Mercilessly Hunted Down And Silenced In A Pit; Waters Of Judgment Flowed Over The Heads - Chapter 3:52-54 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 22, 2025

What is it to be hunted down and thrown into a pit of silence, and then to be sealed there by a stone? These survivors from the Babylonian holocaust describe their feelings. The waters of judgement surged over their heads. Jesus has identified with His people by passing that way Himself.

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 25 – MERCILESSLY HUNTED DOWN AND SILENCED IN A PIT; WATERS OF JUDGMENT FLOWED OVER THE HEADS - CHAPTER 3:52-54 The laments of the people and of Jeremiah continue through the next three verses, then move into more positive territory as prayer sets the focus.

How To Affair Proof Your Marriage!

Contributed by Jim Mccutchen on Jan 24, 2016

EVER GRIN AT SIN! Maintaining purity means maintaining the capacity to be shocked by sin. Joseph did not say, well let’s talk about this for a while. He did not say, well Potiphers wife, I am really not in the mood. He said, How can I do this wicked thing and sin against my God.

Series: Limiting The Holy One Of Israel (Part 3) My God Is God Of The Mountain And God Of The Valley)

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 10, 2020

The Bible harbors records of God using ordinary people: David, Joseph, Peter, Paul, Gideon, Jephthah, Moses, Esther, Mary, etc. Yet we see our problems and say: "Those problems God can solve, but not mine". Dan. 11:32 "They that know their God shall be strong and do exploits".

The Lord Is With You

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 12, 2015

In this passage, it almost seems like Peter is heavily focused on persecution of the Christians he's writing to... and then he just switches gears and talks about something totally unrelated. It seems that way, but it's not.

OPENING: When I asked you to turn to I Peter 3:13 this morning, did you realize that about 800 years ago… you couldn’t have done that? Do you know WHY you couldn’t have turned to I Peter 3 back then? Because there were no chapter divisions. That didn’t happen until 1227, ...read more

A Christmas Love Worth Waiting For Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 8, 2021

You’ll never understand God if you ONLY approach Him as your King, your Shepherd, or even your Father. You must also see Him as your Husband before you can understand how intimate your relationship with God truly is.

Merry Christmas to you all. Find Hosea 3, if you will – page 955 in your pew Bibles. I’m looking forward to tonight’s Christmas celebration with the Cross Church.
