    The resurrection of Jesus Christ is a game-changer. But to experience the game-changing effects of Jesus’ resurrection, you must believe in a miracle.

    Happy Resurrection Day! And Happy 5th Birthday to Cross Church this morning! In fact, let’s all say, “Happy Birthday, Cross Church” together on the count of three.

    Nothing Is Impossible Series

    The word “impossible” means nothing to God! The birth of a baby born to a virgin was a miracle! The Lord can also miraculously bring light to a dark situation. “Never doubt in the dark, what God spoke while you were in the light.”

    I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Nothing Is Impossible,” as we briefly touch on the account of how baby Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary. I would like to begin with some inspirational quotes and illustrations; and I’ll start by sharing one entitled “Impossible Takes Longer.” Charles F. ...read more

    Staying The Course Series

     | 6,253 views

    We might presently feel like we’ve been fighting for our Promised Land a long time. Fighting will wear us out and lead to discouragement. Battle is not a pretty sight, and as we tire of spiritual confrontation, we might be tempted to give up.

    Last week we saw how becoming tired of incessant battle can lead to becoming impatient and attempting to rush what God is wanting to do in His way and His timing. It can also lead a person to feeling defeated and abandoning the fight. David boldly declared in Psalm 119, “I will run the course of ...read more

     | 1,934 views

    When your prayers go unanswered, you are expected to feel discouraged and want to give up. However, it is essential to remember that God hears every one of your cries. Therefore, trust that your prayers are being heard and answered in God's own time and in a way that benefits you.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (Psalms 40:1-3) [1] "I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry." [2] "He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet ...read more

    Achieving a breakthrough in your life may seem daunting, but the truth is, it's closer than you think; it's in your hands. As a child of God, you can take control of your future, and transform your life. Remember that some are getting their breakthrough watching how you go through.

    Jesus tells us how to pray in a way that leads to receiving an answer. We will learn that when we pray according to God’s will, that He hears and answers; but it might not be what we expect. However, it will be exactly what we need.

    This morning, we are going to look at what Jesus has to say about how to pray in a way that leads to receiving an answer. In his song “Good, Good Father,” Chris Tomlin says, “I’ve seen many searching for answers far and wide, but I know we’re all searching for answers only You provide. ‘Cause You ...read more
