Destruction And Deliverance: Dual Outcomes Of Sodom And Gomorrah Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Sep 30, 2024

Here we see the dual outcomes of Sodom and Gomorrah - we see God’s judgment on sin and at the same time His mercy on Lot because God knows how to rescue the Godly from judgment.

Last week we spoke from Genesis 18. We are reminded about how important our involvement is in the plan of God and how God works in and through our lives to accomplish His will. It’s amazing how Abraham spoke face-to-face with God and how he interceded for his nephew Lot and his family. Today we ...read more

Sent, Not Settled Series

Contributed by Apostle Dr. Ruben L. Broadnax Jr. on Oct 23, 2024

The early church, described in the book of Acts, was anything but comfortable. It was a church that was sent, not settled—a church that moved beyond the familiar to reach a world in desperate need of hope.

We are living in a time when comfort has become king. We love to settle down, get comfortable, and create spaces that are predictable and safe. We build churches with padded pews and air-conditioned sanctuaries, and we attend services that are carefully planned and well-executed. And yet, if we’re ...read more

Spirituality Series

Spirituality is where fear and faith collide. Escaping the trap of spirituality means admitting our limitations, recognizing the call and walking in obedience in spite of our fear.

The last few weeks we have spoken about escaping bad decisions, the shame/guilt that accompanies them and even trading religion for relationships. This week ...read more

The Parable Of Two Sons And The Authority Of Jesus Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Jul 26, 2024

Many talk about Jesus or celebrate Jesus, and they like to believe that it assures them of a spot in Heaven. What did Jesus say about this?

Dr. Bradford Reaves CrossWay Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD www.mycrossway.org As we continue through the parables, I realize that this is one of those parables that has always confounded me.

Lord, Please Send A Revival!

Contributed by Michael Bates on Jan 1, 2024

Our planet desperately needs a worldwide revival. God has the power to being revival to all the nations and He accomplishes that by using us, Christians, to be His hands/feet in the world to bring about change. But, doing that sometimes comes at a high price (martyrdom).

Let's all read that section together; (verses are from the CSB version). 1 While Ezra prayed and confessed, weeping and falling face-down before the house of God, an extremely large assembly of Israelite men, women, ...read more

Apostasy Of The Christian Heart

Contributed by Stan Lobin on Oct 26, 2022

An examination of the Jesus parable of the prayers of the Pharisee and the tax collector and Christians who respond look and react to our others harshly with gossip and other negative that defy God's commandment to love our neighbor as we love ourselves.
