    If God hated human sacrifice, why would He ask Abraham to offer his only son as a burnt offering to Him? And what can this story mean to us?

    CHILDREN'S STORY (I used a flannel graph display on the overhead) In the days of Abraham, one of the ways people showed their love for God by offering Him a sacrifice. A sacrifice is like a gift. It’s something you give to God to show Him you are willing to obey Him, even when it costs you ...read more

    “He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” It's time to answer the question - What is meant by 'My commandments.'

    Our passage today is from John 14:21: “He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” There is a popular song, with the lyrics, “Open our eyes Lord, we want to see Jesus.” Verse 21 ...read more

    So now we talk about the return home. And we see two predictions made, by Jeremiah and Isaiah, old testament prophets being fulfilled here.

    Last week we talked about how Israel was taken into captivity in Babylon. And during that time God continued to be with his people, even after they had failed him so completely. He worked through people like Daniel and Shadrach, Meshach and Abendigo. Daniel saw many dreams and visions, and even saw ...read more

    All Things Work Together For Good

    In our rush for immediate fulfilment of our desires, we have replaced the concept of delayed gratification to instant gratification. As individuals and as a culture, we have exchanged independence for entitlement.

    Romans 8:28-29 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. WORKING ...read more

    We can stand strong in the face of any fearful situation. That's because we are truly rich in the grace of God.

    Have you ever been scared? I mean scared to the point that you were afraid for your life. There was a group of missionaries that were on a mission trip in London. They were in prayer walking one afternoon in an area that was full of mosques and protesters were in the streets. As they walked and ...read more

    Isolated. Convinced but confined. What if we busted our bubble and shared hope, faith and the source of it all . . . Jesus? It is time to be Bubble Busters!

    Bubble Busters Pt. 1 - Plastic Bubbles I. Introduction It grabbed my attention. I was riveted to the screen. I don't remember many dramatic tv shows from my youth but this one I remember vividly.

    It is precisely through our sacrificial giving of our time, money and love that we point the world to the Father who is our portion and the desire of our hearts.

    There are some commands in the Bible that instruct us to "hold fast to" ... We each have things we "hold fast to". Are they Biblical or are they worldly?

    Good Friday: God knew ahead of time that He would – and must – sacrifice His one and only Son in order to atone for the sins that separate people from Him. In Genesis chapter 22, we see a glimpse into the future of God’s plan of salvation.

    I’ve entitled our message this morning, “A Foreshadowing Sacrifice,” which indicates that we’re going to be looking at something foretold long before it happened. I wish to begin our message this morning by sharing something out of the book of Acts. In Acts 8:31-35, we find the account of Philip ...read more

    A Christmas Love Worth Waiting For Series

    You’ll never understand God if you ONLY approach Him as your King, your Shepherd, or even your Father. You must also see Him as your Husband before you can understand how intimate your relationship with God truly is.

    Merry Christmas to you all. Find Hosea 3, if you will – page 955 in your pew Bibles. I’m looking forward to tonight’s Christmas celebration with the Cross Church. I hope many of you will join my family and me for a wonderful time. Centuries before Mary and Joseph, the Wise Men, or the Shepherds … ...read more
