    The Lord Who Makes You Holy Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jul 11, 2022
     | 5,016 views

    The holiness of God is a vital part of our study on the character of God. Holiness of God is used as a prefix more than any other prefix describing God. He is Holy God. The name we will study Jehovah-M’kaddesh occurs in Leviticus 20:7-8.

    The Lord who makes you Holy Leviticus 20:7-8 The holiness of God is a deep theological subject. That does not mean we need to use deep theological language. For the holiness of God we need to use the Albert Einstein rule of simplicity. Everything must be as simple as possible and no simpler. ...read more

    An Outline For "What Makes A Good Father?” Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 30, 2023
     | 1,601 views

    Scripture describes many fathers, some good and many that weren't. There is no guarantee any man will be a good father but if he follows the Lord and the Word, he'll have a better chance than those men who don't.

    Introduction: With few exceptions, every man has the opportunity and privilege of becoming a father. Whether a man becomes a good father or a bad one, really, depends on him and several choices he makes. No man will ever be a perfect father but if he follows the Bible’s guidance, he’ll have a ...read more

    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

    When A Miracle Makes You Mad Series

     | 3,684 views

    Today, I want to tell the story… the story of three people – Jesus, the miracle-worker, the religious leaders, and a diseased man. And you’ll see two emotional reactions for us and we’ll see two life lessons. Along with way, I’ll even share with you one of Grimm’s fairy tales.

    When people talk about miracles, they typically think of healing miracles. One day the tumor is there; the next day, it’s no longer. Someone prays for a blind man and he regains his sight. Miracles are supernatural events that offer hope and healing to people in need. We started a series on ...read more

    This sermon deals with the tragedy we find in the bible of someone trying to make an unnecessary deal with God. God does not want our deals. He wants our obedience.

In this show there are times that you make a choice and get a really great deal. But there are times that you can make a choice and get a “Zonk”. It’s all about the choices you ...read more
