    Making A Mountain Out Of A Molehill, Perspective

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jan 1, 2021
     | 3,074 views

    I had rather be an artist than an art critic. Do you have the great ability of taking molehills and making them mountains. We need an honest evaluation of our perspectives. Does the world define our thinking patterns?

    KEEP PERSPECTIVE, MOLE HILL VS MOUNTAIN… By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (two parts) I HAVE A PAIR OF BINOCULARS… I ask someone to look through backwards --- things are small and distant.

    What Difference Does The Resurrection Make? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 2,799 views

    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. Over the course of the next few weeks, we’ll introduce you to both ancient miracles and modern ones. But if you’re looking for a miracle, you need not look any further than the empty ...read more

    When A Miracle Makes You Mad Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 3,611 views

    Today, I want to tell the story… the story of three people – Jesus, the miracle-worker, the religious leaders, and a diseased man. And you’ll see two emotional reactions for us and we’ll see two life lessons. Along with way, I’ll even share with you one of Grimm’s fairy tales.

    When people talk about miracles, they typically think of healing miracles. One day the tumor is there; the next day, it’s no longer. Someone prays for a blind man and he regains his sight. Miracles are supernatural events that offer hope and healing to people in need. We started a series on ...read more

     | 2,155 views

    There are some things in the Bible that people sometimes feel they can be justified in saying, “I do not understand what that passage means.”

    In those cases, we feel that God is not going to hold them responsible. However, some passages even the new convert can understand and obey. We know God does hold us responsible, and we will give account for those things we do understand. For example, the Bible clearly teaches that every ...read more
