    Sermon 9 - Making The Message Clear Series

    Contributed by David Owens on May 5, 2025
     | 489 views

    When we are given the opportunity to share the good news about Jesus we have to be ready to communicate the message in a clear and concise manner. This sermon explores how to do just that.

    Introduction: A. In the Scripture reading that was just read for us, the Apostle Paul was concluding his letter to the Colossians and he asked them to pray for two things. 1. First, He asked them to pray that God would open doors for the message of the gospel. 2. Second, He asked them to pray that ...read more

    Sermon # 20 - God Will Make A Way Series

    The Israelites were hemmed in from behind and before, and in such a critical situation they looked up to the Lord who intervened to bring a mighty deliverance. No matter what our fears or anxieties, let’s look up to Jesus who died to save us and lives to deliver us from all our fears.

    We read in Exodus 14:10, “When the Israelites saw the king and his army marching against them, they were terrified and cried out to the LORD for help.” (GNB) In this incidence, we see that multitudes of Israelites who were fleeing from Egypt were filled with dread, and they had every reason to do ...read more

    What Makes Me Good Enough

    Contributed by Lewis Martin on May 24, 2025
     | 378 views

    Have you ever asked yourself, “Am I good enough?” Good enough to be accepted. Good enough to belong. Good enough—for God.

    "What Makes Me Good Enough?" Have you ever asked yourself, “Am I good enough?” Good enough to be accepted. Good enough to belong. Good enough—for God. Most of us try to answer that question by performing. We stay busy. We work hard. We try to do the right things, avoid the wrong ones, and ...read more

    Make Me A Blessing (1 Of 3)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Aug 8, 2024
     | 1,616 views

    In I Timothy 6:1-12 we do not have to do any surmising when it comes to who Paul was addressing in this passage of scriptures. Although we know the letter is addressed specifically to young Timothy, yet it is clear, the thing he has to say in this passage of scripture is to the MAN OF GOD

    Look at verse 11. We read, “But thou, O MAN OF GOD...” To be referred to as a “man of God,” or a “woman of God,” is one of the greatest titles that could be given to any Christian. (1) The term MAN OF GOD is often given to MINISTERS of the gospel. (2) Also, the clergyman is called THE MAN ...read more

    Make Me A Blessing (2 Of 3)

     | 1,025 views

    This is the second sermon in this series on MAKE ME A BLESSING. When the apostle Paul writes to young Timothy and us to be a blessing we have to a “Man or Woman God.”

    But he does not leave him guessing what it takes to be a MAN OF GOD. In verse 11 he tells him and us as we saw in last week’s sermon… 1) We must FLEE from sin. 2) And today in this sermon he instructs us there are somethings we must FOLLOW after. Look at 1 Timothy 6:11 But thou, O man of God, ...read more

    No Resurrection? How Does That Make Sense?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 17, 2024
     | 316 views

    It’s not clear what the back-story is for this claim, but it leads to one of Paul’s best little classes in logic. Perhaps there was a Sadducee-trained Jewish Christian in Corinth. They didn’t believe in any resurrection.

    Friday of the Twenty-Fourth Week in Course 2024 From the beginning of the Church way back in the first century Christians have been proclaiming and celebrating the physical Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. That was a real historical event that occurred three days after He was murdered ...read more

    Rahab is an unlikely candidate for the next linchpin in the possession of the land and fulfillment of God's promises

    A. Background to passage: Rahab was a pagan prostitute, an unlikely candidate for the next linchpin person in the fulfilling of the promise of the land. A person who’s legacy did not end because of a faded beauty in a house of ill-repute, but in the genealogy of Jesus. She is noted in the NT on ...read more

    What Would Make Heaven Hell?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 26, 2025
     | 127 views

    Heaven is joy only for hearts transformed by Jesus. Without holiness, God’s presence becomes torment. Christ alone gives us a heart fit for heaven.

    Heaven. The word alone sounds like comfort. Endless peace. Reunions. Rest. Joy without sorrow. Life without loss. Every funeral reminds us of it. Every aching heart hopes for it. If you asked the average person today what they believe about eternity, most would say something like, “Oh, sure, I ...read more

    What Difference Does The Resurrection Make? Series

    Pagans expected nothing to happen after a person dies. Jews expected the faithful to be resurrected at the end of time. And Christians have felt that not only has Christ risen from the grave but His resurrection guarantees His follower's resurrection.

    Happy Resurrection Day to Cross Church! Maybe you grew up thinking miracles happened a long time ago, if at all.
