    The Power Of One Church: Giving Jesus The Reward Of His Suffering

    Contributed by Ron Auch Jr on Apr 27, 2025
     | 322 views

    Jesus’ last recorded prayer before the cross wasn’t for miracles, influence, or safety — it was for unity among His people.

    Church Unity: “The Power of One Church: Giving Jesus the Reward of His Suffering” 1. Unity Was Jesus’ Final Prayer John 17:20–23 “I pray… that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you… Then the world will know that you sent ...read more

    The trials of Jesus, the suffering of Jesus on the cross, and His time in the tomb did not take very long, but impact us for eternity.

    Life Is A Beach

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 23, 2025
     | 349 views

    Jesus calls every disciple to daily self-denial and Spirit-empowered cross-bearing that ends not in loss but in resurrection life.

    (Losing to Gain) Part 1 – The Comfortable Illusion It sounds so inviting: Life is a beach. The phrase promises calm tides, soft sand, a life where the hardest choice is whether to nap or swim. We crave that ease. Sometimes we even remake God in that image—faith as a sunny getaway where problems ...read more

    The Foolishness That Is Wise

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Aug 31, 2025
     | 265 views

    In a world that seeks wisdom and power, we are here to explore the foolishness of the cross, which is the only true power of God for salvation.

    Introduction: A Tale of Two Wisdoms Grace and peace to you from God our Father. The world preaches its own gospel around us. It preaches self-reliance. It promotes human achievement. It is the gospel of worldly wisdom. It tells you to be smarter and stronger. It tells you to be more successful. It ...read more

    The First Word uttered from the Cross? 1.) Father 2.) Forgive 3.) They Don't Know what They are Doing

    Close your eyes and imagine the scene: the sand in the air, the crowd shouting for Barabas, the soldiers escorting Jesus to Calvary, the sound of nails being driven into His hands and feet. In the midst of this agony, Jesus utters His first words from the Cross. Can you hear them? "Father, forgive ...read more

     | 839 views

    This sermon explores the lessons of faith, trust, and surrender we can learn from Jesus' moment of divine desertion on the cross.

    Good morning, beloved. I am so glad to see each one of you here today. There is something uniquely beautiful about the gathering of God's people in unity and love, and it's a privilege to be part of this congregation. We are here, not by accident, but by divine appointment. You see, God has a ...read more

    Building Your Rock Pile

    based on 26 ratings
     | 9,472 views

    Israel was commanded to pile 12 stones after they crossed over Jordan as a memorial to God’s deliverance. What kind of rocks are we piling up as a memorial for future generations should Jesus tarry?

    BUILDING YOUR ROCK PILE Joshua 3:14-17; 4:1-7 Life is a journey. With each passing day we are drawing nearer to the time when we must cross over Jordan, the river of death. As I grow older I cannot help but think about what that day will be like. What will that passage from this life into ...read more

    This is an interactive service of dialog, Scripture and music focusing on the cross and on the fact that God sent Jesus for everyone of the people involved in that one 24 hour period that changed the world forever.

    This is not so much a sermon but an entire service of dialog, Scripture and music all mixed together. It is of a limited "cast" due to the nature of broadcasting on FB Live.

    When we draw close to God... 1. He will move us to the ultimate place (vs. 1-2). 2. He will give us His ultimate protection (vs. 3-10). 3. He will show us His unfolding prophecy (vs. 9-16).

    What Are You Missing?

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 20, 2018
     | 8,477 views

    Today I want to look at an encounter between Jesus and a “Rich Young Ruler”. Kind of like Jesus meets Mark Zuckerberg. The rich seem to have everything yet this very, very rich young man knew he was missing something. What are you missing?

    What one thing do you lack? Mark 10:17-34 The Rich Young Ruler We are now just four weeks away from Easter Sunday 2018. Easter happens to be on April 1st, April Fool’s Day. I kind of think that God the Father enjoys the irony in that one. Satan really was a fool to think he could kill Jesus ...read more

    Had you gone to Jerusalem that day so long ago, and had you gone just outside the wall to the north, out through the Damascus gate, there you would have seen a rocky hill. And on that hill, you would have seen three crosses, with three men on those crosses.

    Good morning to Cross Church and happy Palm Sunday to you. Turn to Luke 23 with me this morning. The universal symbol of Christianity is the cross, the old rugged cross. While the empty tomb is the foundation of Christianity, the cross is the focus of Christianity. And while I cannot take all of ...read more

    The Forgotten Tree

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 15, 2021
     | 3,293 views

    The Christmas Tree has become the main symbol of Christmas; baby Jesus has little connection to it. God's Christmas Tree is the Cross of Calvary. God hung His gift on it -- His Son Jesus. I put up a 5-ft. cross with Christmas lights on it.

    THE FORGOTTEN TREE 1 Pet. 2:24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. In one Dennis the Menace cartoon, Dennis rushes into the living room.

    A lesson from the Israelites crossing the Jordan River, and its relation to us in our lives for giving our lives fully to God, trusting for miracles, and trusting for Salvation.

     | 10,045 views

    When a cross or trial comes our way we’re often left wondering like Peter, "What was He thinking when He allowed this to come on me?" However, Jesus’ own cross story helps us to see that in the midst of it all, He’s still thinking of you and me.

    Pentecost 15 A Matthew 16:21-26 What Was He Thinking? 09/01/02 There’s a television commercial currently running that shows a guy going off a tall waterfall in a kayak.
