    Easter Through The Eyes Of Caiaphas

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Mar 25, 2025
     | 857 views

    God substitutes Jesus for His enemies. This is the very center of our Christian faith: God substituted Jesus for us sinners.

    Today, we launch our 2025 Bible conference, and I hope you’ll make an effort to join us at NRH. The theme is The Faces of Easter. We are looking at the story of one historic weekend from all angles all week. This morning, we look at the cross and resurrection from the perspective of one of the ...read more

    Weightless Faith

    Contributed by Trae Durden on Dec 5, 2014
     | 4,026 views

    We hear Jesus say “My yoke is easy, My burden is light” (Mt. 11:30). And we choose to run with that “easy” life! We love to forget that He also said, ““If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (Mt. 16:24)

    Weightless Faith Philippians 3:17-21 Is the Christian life only about avoiding wrong? Is an “Avoidance” lifestyle all that God expects of us or is there more? Like bringing Glory to God in faith by taking action! Serving others! We hear Jesus say “My yoke is easy, My burden is ...read more

    Taming The Tongue Series

    Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Oct 3, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,697 views

    A sermon on the tongue. James says the tongue controls, destroys, and cannot be tamed, but fortunately there is one Perfect Man, Jesus Christ, and he points us to Him.

    Can you figure out this riddle? “I am often held, but never touched. I am always wet, but never rust. I often bite, but I am seldom bit. To use me well, you must have wit. What am I?” Can you figure it out? Ready for the answer? It is…the tongue! The tongue can be held without being ...read more

    God's Gift To Us: A Christmas Message Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Dec 22, 2021
     | 13,427 views

    No one lobbied Him as you would a senator. No one petitioned Him, as might your boss or your teacher. And no one solicited Him to do this as you might barter with someone in the marketplace. None of that was necessary for God, for the Father willingly offered up His one and only Son as a gift.

    Merry Christmas from my family to yours! It’s at Christmastime that we give gifts, and we receive gifts. This is why retailers are so happy with Christmas in a way they’re not happy with the Fourth of July, for example or Easter. At the other holidays, we don’t give gifts like we do at Christmas. ...read more

    Will we follow the thief who steals life, or the Saviour who gives it?

    Go! And Live Life to the Full — The Abundant Life in Christ John 10:10 (NLT): “The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.” Introduction: Life to the Full There’s a story told of a man who spent his whole life collecting expensive ...read more

    Two Sets Of Twelve Stones

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 16, 2025
     | 125 views

    When Joshua led the Israelites across the Jordan, twelve stones were submerged while twelve others stood as a memorial of God’s wonder and grace. What spiritual significance do these stones have for us as believers in the Lord Jesus? Read to find out more.

    Today’s meditation is taken form Joshua 4:5-8, “And Joshua said to them, “Pass on before the ark of the LORD your God into the midst of the Jordan, and take up each of you a stone upon his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the people of Israel, that this may be a sign among you. ...read more

    A Blood Donor Saved My Life Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,441 views

    What does the blood of Christ do for us, and why is it such a powerful tool for God to use for fixing our broken lives?

    The American Red Cross in Oklahoma had this interesting poster sent to churches: "I gave my blood. Christ gave his. I gave a pint. He gave all. The needle is small, sharp. The nails were large, dull. The table - soft, restful. The cross - rough, painful. The nurses - kind, gentle. The soldiers ...read more

    Joy: Overcoming Sorrow Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Feb 4, 2023
     | 2,429 views

    Joy is the normal condition for believers. In the quiet of this moment, identify your source of happiness for a moment. Ask yourself, “What made me happy that is now missing in my life?” What fire have I been warming myself at instead of Jesus?

    Happy Father’s Day to all! Dads and granddads, we greatly appreciate you! Good Morning to our Cross Church family meeting at Nance Elementary again this morning. Let me ask you a serious question, “What would like to change about your home?” If you could change one thing about your roommate, what ...read more

    Jars Of Clay

    Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jan 7, 2026
    based on 1 rating
     | 199 views

    The Lord is pleased to choose the humblest, and lowliest, and weakest servants to carry His transforming truth. He has put the priceless treasure of new covenant-saving gospel truth in clay pots.

    2 Corinthians 4:7 - “But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.” Jars are fragile things. They break easily. Jars of clay are also cheap things. They are not made of fine china or expensive ivory. Paul says he and his Apostolic band ...read more

    Not The Jesus They Wanted Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 10, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,075 views

    The crowds were looking for a Christ who would "remain" and lead them into glorious earthly kingdom, but Jesus was talking about being "lifted up" and not being with them forever. The Jesus they wanted wasn't the Jesus they were getting.

    I’m told these were actual answers that children gave in Sunday School: “Noah’s wife was called Joan of Ark.” “The epistles were the wives of the apostles.” “Moses got the 10 Commandments at Mt. Cyanide.” “King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 porcupines.” “The men who followed the Lord were called ...read more

    The Judgment Of The Almighty Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 12, 2022
     | 2,304 views

    The Old Testament prophets predicted a day so alarming that even those who are religiously careless wake from their moral sleepiness. They frequently refer to it as “that day” when the nations are judged.

    It is widely regarded as one of the best films of all time, Shawshank Redemption was released nearly thirty years ago in 1994. It became an instant classic telling the tale of an innocent man in prison who eventually gains his freedom through a satisfying escape plan. And if watched any TV in the ...read more

    Zechariah's Fourth Vision: Qualified For Service Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Nov 21, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,838 views

    Christians must know the basis of their acceptance before God if they are to successfully defeat Satan and his tactic of accusation. In this vision, we are given a beautiful picture of the grace of God removing our filthy garments of sin and clothing us with his Robe of Righteousness.

    Today we will begin examining Zechariah’s fourth vision recorded in chapter 3. The vision can be divided into two-parts: I. Verses 1-5 is a revelation of God’s way of qualifying his people for relationship with him and for service to him. II. Verses 7-10 contains an admonition to faithfulness ...read more

    The Unpardonable Sin Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 5,279 views

    The Unpardonable Sin is a particular teaching that has really haunted people for a long time. As a pastor, people often ask if they have committed the sin that cannot and will not be forgiven. Some here today have a paralyzing fear they have committed the “unpardonable sin.”

    Several weeks ago, I asked for your help in your choice of today’s sermon. Your top choice was “When Will Jesus Return to Earth?” But a little analysis of the results led us to understand that it was really only this early service that asked for this topic. So … at 9:30, 11 and at Cross Church, our ...read more
