    How do we recognize the false teachers of our day?

    Dr. Bradford Reaves Crossway Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD www.mycrossway.org We are a culture of warning labels. Some for good reason and some for legal reasons.

    What if there was no God - what would life be like? It would be meaningless - Meaningless.... The book of Ecclesiastes looks at life from the view that there in no God. This is a verse by verse look into chapter seven of Ecclesiastes.

This verse is tied closely with Ecclesiastes 6:12. Is it in this life that we find that our life has been productive? We may think so ...read more

    The Well, The Women, And The Wait Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Feb 18, 2025
     | 819 views

    We all have unsettled issues in our hearts. Some want to put a lot of time and distance between these unresolved issues, even a change of scenery, which may be necessary to get some clarity. I believe God wants us to identify these issues and work through them.

     | 716 views

    When facing persecution, Jesus' disciples (believers) must have endurance and wisdom, be certain to look like Jesus, preach the Word fearlessly, and trust that God is in control. What have we to fear when our life is in His hands?

    Let Faith Arise!

    Faith Finds Its Worth In The Character Of The One It Trusts. YOUR FAITH will change your FATE. Whomsoever you put your FAITH in will determine your destiny and your destination.

    LET FAITH ARISE! Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 FAITH = TRUST Faith comes from the Latin fides, meaning “trust, confidence.” Trust stems from traust, meaning “confidence, help, protection.” If Faith is about Trust - then who ...read more

    For the 3rd Sunday in Lent, Year A

    The Woman at the Well The story of the woman at the well is one of the most compelling stories in the Bible. It shows God’s grace is given even to a lowly woman of another race.
