Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 11, 2022

Two men in the bible are called Lazarus . The interesting thing about these two men is that both were dead. Dead men don’t speak; they are silent – or are they? Both men spoke from the grave in a very special way. Both are unique. We look at both but mainly Lazarus from John 11.

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 7, 2022

There is the absolute necessity that the life must be free from known sin, that cankerous disease that creeps in and makes God’s love “less abiding” because our knowledge and spirits are clouded, and we are not abiding in His love.

THE WHOLE REASON WHOLLY - WE LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US – 1John 4:16 PART 1 OF 2 INTRODUCTION – A DIFFICULTY May I say that I have a difficulty with a bible verse, understanding exactly what its application is.

"Our Identity In Christ (Iii): We Are Forgiven And Loved By God”

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Jun 2, 2021

Knowing who we are in Christ is vital. Without it, we can be confused, lost, and have no meaning and purpose in our lives, and therefore, fail to accomplish God's plans for us. This is the third sermon series on "Our Identity in Christ."

Who are you? What I am asking requires more than your name, address, nationality, origin, gender, family, or occupation. Many people cannot answer this question correctly. Understanding who we are is vital. That is why today, we will continue our sermon series about the importance of having a right ...read more

Jesus Is Crucified Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021

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.

Guilty But Pardoned

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

Jesus was our Savior on the cross, but He was also our Judge, and He pardoned us for all of our unknown sins of omission that we can never confess. His forgiveness was universal and comprehensive.

If God did not pardon the guilty there would be no Gospel, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Even so, we feel there is a danger in being too merciful. Abraham Lincoln was accused of this during the Civil War when he seemed willing to pardon just about anyone. He would ...read more

Not all heroes die a noble death. Jacques de Lalaing, the flower of knighthood, who was considered the pattern of chivalry for all of Europe, and who was called the last hero of romance, died an early death in 1453.
