Sermons on Self Worship:

See What Jesus Does For His Faithful Ones

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 7, 2024

If Elijah’s prophetic gift would not bring the whole people back to proper worship and right living, then he would exercise it for only one pagan family:

Thirty-second Sunday in Course 2024 Today’s Scripture readings have a laser-focus on the plight of the poor—especially widows and orphans—and the care that God wants to give them.

The Angry King Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 16, 2021

The anger of Jesus was the righteous anger of a king who saw a system which deprived His people of their right to worship, and robbed them of what little wealth they possessed.

Boleslaus II was the king of the Polish Monarchy, but he didn't like the job. One day while hunting he slipped away from his companions and disguised himself as a common laborer in marketplace. He hired the use of his shoulders for carrying burdens for a few pence a day. A search was made, of ...read more

A Glimpse Of Heaven (Exodus 24:1-25:8) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 2, 2023

God, and his people, enter into a new covenant, and share a meal. An impossible picture combining worship, and service, and God's presence-- and a glimpse of our future.

Today's passage, for me, has always been one of the most confusing, mysterious, and wonderful passages in all of Exodus (although I feel like God totally opened it up to me this week; it's ridiculous how this just flowed out). It's the kind that leaves you with questions (and the kind ...read more

Lesson 4: Don't Trust Your Mind - Trust God's Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 4, 2010

The mind is one of the most amazing and most dangerous things we possess. It is incredibly creative, self-justifying and horribly deceiving and sick. So Paul tells us when it comes understanding God, using our minds only will never get us there.

Why Is Jesus So Significant? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

Isaiah 53 “looks as if it had been written beneath the cross upon Golgotha.” Many believe this is the best single chapter in the whole Bible to explain what happened on the cross.

Today, I want to invite believers both here and a Cross Church to participate with us as we take the Lord’s Supper. We are devoting ourselves to a study of one of the powerful chapters in the Bible. Nowhere in all the Old Testament does the gospel shine more brilliantly than in Isaiah 53. I hope ...read more

Daniel 4: Overcoming Pride Series

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Sep 3, 2020

Self-focused pride 1) causes anxiety, 2) leads to a fall, 3) can be redeemed through God-focused humility. We can humble ourselves by 1) recognizing God as sovereign, 2) crediting God for our abilities, and 3) directing our gifts to the good of others.

PUTTING PRIDE IN ITS PLACE—Daniel 4 PRIDE. One of the “Seven Deadly Sins,” along with greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth. But is it always bad?
