    Today we will be taking a look at "Give us this day our daily bread" what it looks like as it is worked out in our daily lives and how it integrates with "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven".

    Please continue standing as we read what is most commonly known as “The Lord’s Prayer” Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV) “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. ...read more

    Jesus Is Crucified Series

    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

    We Win!

    Satan, the tempter, the accuser, the lier, a thief, For temptation, primarily, satan uses 3 areas of the flesh: 1. The lust of the flesh. 2. The lust of the eye. 3. The pride of life.

    We Win! Matthew 4:1-3 Bishop Fulton Sheen said, “Rivers follow the course of least resistance. That's why they are so crooked.” This I'm sure of, “We cannot afford to take the course of least resistance when it comes to temptation.” We have to follow the truth of scripture and our ...read more

    Are you anxiously waiting at the gate for the Rapture - or sleeping in your seat? Paul gives us some practical advise for how to stay alert and ready to board!

    I like to watch people in airports.

    Part VI in the series - 24. This is a first person narrative account from the perspective of the penitent thief on the cross. The preaching idea: Only by the innocence of Christ are the guilty set free.

    Introduction… My prayer is that over the past six weeks that those of you who have been present for this series of sermons have been moved by the stories that we have experienced. One of the great things about preaching – is that before the message ever gets to you I’ve spent hours and hours in ...read more

    This second last Part has a lot of material from Peter and Paul in the explanation of the man of lawlessness - Antichrist and the Tribulation. It also proves that the Church must be raptured before the tribulation can begin. Hope you enjoy working through this.

    A pretty simple sermon that can be used for baby dedications or pretty much anytime to take a laughing look at Parents, as well as some Parental duties straight from the word of God.

    I understand that last week we had a different speaker while I was gone. Well, if you were with us last week and you really enjoyed the service, you should really enjoy it this week since the coach has put the first string back in the game.

    Powerful biblical principles for starting over in life from the story of Ruth.

    Don’t you love a good comeback? Don’t you love it when the underdog wins? It does our hearts good to see someone get back up after they’ve been knocked down by the tragedies of life. That’s the story of the book of Ruth. The story begins with Ruth as a young woman. Her life seems to hold a ...read more
