     | 5,697 views

    All over the world, people recognize the power of Christmas. The reason why Christmas is “The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year” is because God keeps His promise.

    Merry Christmas to you and a big “hello” to our 11 a.m. service. I’m worshipping with Cross Church today, and hopefully, the technology you’re seeing causes all of us to focus on the message rather than the messenger. If you have a Bible, turn with me to Isaiah 11. We have asked you to share your ...read more

    Foreword: Full disclosure, there is a message on this site, which I prepared, called “Back to Bethel” in a series about Bethel experiences. This message here is not a rehash of the previous message, but, as both messages are based on the same text, some overlap in probably unavoidable but is ...read more

    Daniel knows that God is in control. This chapter reminds us that no matter where we are, even in the darkest place, God is still in control. God cares and God wants us to live faithfully to him. Will we have the courage to stand up like Daniel does?

    (Sermon by Rev George Hemmings) There’s lots to be excited by in the book of Daniel. Daring stories of young men standing up to mad kings.

     | 10,336 views

    I had a very animated professor at Bible college by the name of Dr. Emert. He taught us about the danger of blaspheming God's Son by claiming that He is anything less than God.

    Get Off Of My Porch! Isaiah 5:20-25 20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and ...read more
