    True faith seeks glory from God.

    Scripture Introduction “Seeing is believing,” or is it? Is “seeing, believing,” or is “believing, seeing”?

    Why should Christians remember Lot’s wife? Just like Sodom and Gomorrah, before Christ’s return, the world will be saturated with evil. Christians are warned to come out of the world and not be a part of it.

    Opening illustration: If a person sees a house on fire and does everything he can to rescue the occupants, he is heralded as a hero. And that’s the way it should be. Why is it, then, that a Christian who accepts what God says in the Bible about hell and tries to warn people is ridiculed as an ...read more

    Real Answers to Big Questions: Is God Real? Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 6/28/2015 We all have questions. Some questions are simply curiosities. Why is the sky blue?

    When we come to salvation in Christ we are made new. Yet that doesn’t mean it’s easy to just release all the wreckage of the past. However, if we are going to be successful in moving forward then we’ll need to let go of all that useless, heavy baggage.

    IT’S TIME TO LET GO OF THE PAIN INTRODUCTION: When we come to salvation in Christ we are made new. The slate has been wiped clean; we’re starting over fresh and clean. Yet that doesn’t mean it’s easy to just release all the wreckage of the past. Being reborn doesn’t ...read more

    What Does It Mean To Count The Cost Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 30, 2013
     | 7,206 views

    A look at what it means to "count the cost" and why that's so essential. This message calls down the cheap gospel presentations that we so often make that have no mention in them of what it actually means to follow Jesus.

    CHEAP FAITH: Too often we offer salvation that’s straight from the discount bin. - Luke 14:28-32. - Our approach to evangelism is too often to present salvation as a low-cost, no-commitment offer. All you need to do is say you believe in Jesus! That’s it! There’s no mention of the need for ...read more

    What Difference Does The Resurrection Make? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 2,689 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
