    Building The Lord’s House

     | 5,583 views

    If the church is going to promote abundant life and begin attracting people, it must become more than just a physical structure. It must be seen as a house, or rather, a home. It must become a place where people feel safe and secure.

    There was once a story in the Oregonian, Portland’s morning newspaper, of a man who had helped construct a Roman Catholic Church in Mexico. He used inferior materials in order to make more money. At the dedication of the building, the roof collapsed, killing many of the worshipers including the ...read more

    Grace From Galatians (8 Of 19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022
     | 1,463 views

    One of the exciting things in the Christian life is to see someone come to know the Lord as their Savior. To know without a doubt that they have been gloriously saved from the bondage of sin.

    However, one of the saddest things in the Christian life is to see someone who professes to know the Lord but lives their life in such a way as to cast doubt on their salvation. Illus: Evangelist Ding Teuling is often asked how many were converted in some of his meetings. He tells them he really ...read more

    The Refiner’s Fire

    In this passage, Ezekiel described the Babylonian exile as being the crucible in which Israel was melted down, and the godly (the silver) were separated from the unrighteous (the dross). The purpose of the refiner's fire is spiritual purification.

    I wish to begin our message with an illustration: There was a dedicated Christian woman who once visited a tourist attraction, which happened to be a working replica of a pioneer village; and one of the manned displays she observed was a silversmith shop. The woman watched the silversmith as he ...read more

    When Paul and Silas left Thessalonica, they left it in a turmoil.

    The Jews that did not believe, showed their jealousy by attacking the household of Jason, who had lodged Paul and Silas, since they could not take their revenge out on them personally. Verse 10, says, "And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming ...read more

    In the previous sermon in this series, we dealt with the exciting story of God healing the lame man.

    We saw that when the Lord healed him, he went into the temple, "And all the people saw him walking and praising God: And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful. Gate of the temple... " Anyone who knew this man, knew this was a miracle, because they knew he had been ...read more

    I would remind you again, that Luke is writing to his good friend, Theophilus. He is reporting on the activities of Christ's apostles.

    We can probably safely assume that Peter must have made a big impression on Luke, because in chapter two he recorded Peter's first message, and in chapter three he records Peter's second message. In Acts chapter three, we see three things we want to consider, such as: I. THEIR ...read more

    Habakkuk prays this beautiful prayer, asking the Lord to REVIVE His work. I trust that before the service is over, this will be your prayer.

    There is a lot of suffering in this life. We see it in many areas of our life. For example, we see it: (1) IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM Illus: A young boy was watching his mother as she tried on her new fur coat. He said, "Mom, do you realize some poor dumb beast suffered so you could have that ...read more

    It doesn't matter how bad things might seem, Just Hold On

    I wonder if there is anyone here that ever seems like bad things are always happening to them. It seems like that you are always getting the short end of things.

    Living A God-Centered Life Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Oct 18, 2021
     | 6,852 views

    Our sinful nature and the world we live in teaches us to be self-centered. We are prone to think it is all about us, but it is not. It's all about God. In this series based on Max Lucado's book, It's Not About Me, we will explore how to live a God-centered life.

    A. Have you heard about the guy who said, “Some people call me self-centered, but that’s enough about them”? 1. Maybe you’ve known someone like that – someone who lived life like it was all about them. 2. To be honest, there was a time in my life when I was way too much like that. B. I heard a ...read more

    The arrangement of the Tabernacle can only be clearly understood through the revelation of God's plan of salvation revealed in Jesus Christ. It is an amazing thing to see and humbling to know we don't deserve it and yet we can have it by grace through faith in Jesus! Hallelujah!!!

    A Christmas Love Worth Waiting For Series

    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. I hope many of you will join my family and me for a wonderful time. Centuries before Mary and Joseph, the Wise Men, or the Shepherds … ...read more
