    Serving Jesus' Way Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 29, 2022
     | 3,091 views

    When Jesus washed the feet of the disciples, he broke cultural conventions but also provided an example for his followers to emulate.

    Surprised by Underwhelming Expectations I rarely introduce myself as Pastor. It’s not that I don’t want people to know the role I play, but I don’t want my title to become a barrier. Sure, it may open some conversations, but it may also hinder others as people might think I’m some holy man - ...read more

    Mentoring A Teammate Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 5, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,834 views

    There are certain tasks in ministry that are too big to handle by yourself, so you need to select and train a teammate. Moses enlisted Joshua as his teammate, and mentored him in envisioning and realizing the dream of the Promised Land.

    You have fought the good fight, you have stayed the course, you have kept the faith (2 Timothy 4:7), and you are now on the precipice of realizing your hard sought-after calling. In pursuit of God’s best you may have wrestled with and overcome some internal spiritual battles, and individually ...read more

    Jesus Speaks Series

     | 4,357 views

    It’s here on the Road to Emmaus that you and I learn powerful lessons on how to experience a personal awakening. My aim this morning is this: for you to experience a personal time of worship.

    Good morning to my friends at Cross Church. As you are finding the last chapter of Luke 24, I want to invite you to a powerful time of prayer two Sundays from today. I am calling our church to pray for spiritual awakening. Personal awakening… for our church to awaken, and for our nation to awaken. ...read more

    Jesus And Peter Series

     | 6,049 views

    Every one of Jesus’ qualities is infinite. Jesus, as He is God, is infinite in knowledge. Jesus is infinite in power. Jesus is infinite in love. Jesus is infinitely just. And Jesus is infinitely pure.

    We need volunteers in childcare and if you’d like to volunteer, we have someone up front who’d like to get your information.

    Navigating The Ebb And Flow

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Dec 24, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 704 views

    Jesus shared words to help John's disciples navigate change, as they were dealing with the loss of their leader. He also addressed the change of grace over legalism. This passage can be applied to change within the church.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Navigating the Ebb and Flow.” The expression “ebb and flow” is an idiom used to describe periods of highs and lows, and growth and decline, just like the rising and falling of the tides. It is essentially the idea that life is not always constant, but ...read more

    Sins Forgiven, Health Restored

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 16, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,223 views

    This message looks at how Jesus healed a paralytic, and discusses the connection between sin and illness, and forgiveness and healing. God desires for your whole spirit, soul, and body to be healed (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

    I would like to begin our message this morning with a true story about a woman’s healing. A pastor named John Wimber says, “A woman in her late forties asked me to pray for her healing. She suffered from chronic stomach disorders and arthritis . . . I asked her if she was feeling hostility, ...read more

    Beware Of Ravenous Wolves Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 23, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,313 views

    Things are not always as they seem; and Jesus shares what to look for in identifying false prophets. These are false teachers, ravenous wolves, who seek to feed and save themselves, rather than feed and protect the flock.

    Allow me to begin with an illustration: As Little Red Riding Hood is heading to her grandmother’s house; a wolf comes along and finds out where she lives. He travels ahead, enters the house, and eats the grandmother! When Little Red Riding Hood arrives, she notices her grandmother’s unusual ...read more

    Finding True Blessedness (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 24, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,074 views

    This message covers the first six verses of The Beatitudes. The word "blessed" in the text refers to more than just peace and happiness. It means "a divine and godlike joy." Jesus was saying, "Joyful are those who possess these inward qualities."

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Finding True Blessedness (Part 1).” The words of Jesus seen in our passage today are called “The Beatitudes,” and this does not mean “beautiful attitudes,” even though this phrase might have catchy ring. “The Beatitudes are blessed sayings.”(1) “The ...read more

    This message covers the last six verses of The Beatitudes. The word "blessed" in the text refers to more than just peace and happiness. It means "a divine and godlike joy." Jesus was saying, "Joyful are those who possess these inward qualities."

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Finding True Blessedness (Part 2).” As we get started, I should remind us that the words of Jesus seen in our passage are called “The Beatitudes,” and that the word “beatitude” comes from a Latin term meaning “blessedness.”(1) But the term “blessed” used ...read more

     | 849 views

    Acts 17:1-15 teaches us what characterizes people who turn the world upside down.

    Introduction Years ago, I saw an advertisement for the “perfect” pastor. Here is what it said: • The perfect pastor preaches exactly 10 minutes. • He condemns sin roundly but never hurts anyone's feelings. • He works from 8 AM until midnight and is also the church janitor. • ...read more

    Sermon - God’s Promises Are Stronger Than Your Problems

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Oct 8, 2025
     | 767 views

    The believer can have this assurance that “they are never alone—God goes before them, walks beside them, and lives within them.” In Deuteronomy 31:8, Moses reaffirms the promise God made to Israel as they were leaving Egyptian captivity, and God's Promises did not fail them.

    Sermon - God’s Promises are Stronger than Your Problems.” Scripture Lesson: Exodus 13:21-22, “By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. Neither the pillar of ...read more

    Rough Beginnings Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Sep 11, 2023
     | 1,736 views

    In this sermon, we consider the back story of the letters to the Thessalonians - the founding of the church. It's tumultuous beginning helps us to understand a bit of the environment into which the new church was planted and some of the ongoing struggles they faces.

    Pre-quals Every story has a back story. We may not always gain insight into the back story, but there are things impact characters and cultures. When George Lucas wrote the original Star Wars series, he had in his mind some of the events leading up to the movie that many of us were first ...read more

    We Have Not Ceased To Pray For You Series

     | 134 views

    Colossians 1:9-14 teaches us that because believers are in Christ, we must pray to be filled with the knowledge of his will so we can walk worthily of the Lord.

    Introduction I want to begin by asking: If God has already saved you, what should you pray for? If you are a Christian, you read your Bible daily. If you are a Christian, you pray daily. If you are a Christian, you presumably have a prayer list. And so I ask again: If God has already saved ...read more

    Contrary And Condemned

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 5, 2026

     | 295 views

    There are way too many people who miss God’s message for them, and even miss Jesus, as they are focused on finding fault. This behavior resulted in the cities of Chorazin, Bethsaida and Capernaum being rebuked.

    I want to begin our message with a sermon illustration: “All too many Christians today go to church to find fault, to gossip, and to criticize . . . An incident in the life of Joseph Parker, the great British preacher, illustrates this tragic truth. He was preaching at the City Temple in London. ...read more
