    Perhaps one of the greatest messages preached at Crane Eater Community Church. Paul is asking us to make is not a "Sin Offering", but a "Thank Offering.”

    Human Sacrifices, And Getting Out Of Ruts. Romans 12:1-2NKJV Today, we get to talk about human sacrifices! This should be fun! Any volunteers?

    While John the Baptist offered forgiveness through baptism, Jesus offers us freedom from the power of sin and the continual presence of God through the Holy Spirit.

    Ever had a phone that's so old it barely works? You know, the kind that freezes every time you try to open an app? And then one day, you get an upgrade - a brand new phone that works perfectly. That's kind of like what Jesus offers us. We're all used to the idea of forgiveness, but Jesus offers us ...read more

    Consecration Sunday, the day we come to consecrate ourselves and our lives to God. That one day of the year when we have to endure the preacher’s sermon on the joys and benefits of giving. We sit and squirm while the preacher drones on about being a cheerful giver, all the while knowing we ...read more

    The prophet Elijah was God’s instrument to test this Gentile widow’s trust. It’s easier to be reminded of God’s promises than to act on them.

    As someone who has moved 27 times in my life, I know that God decides how long we remain in place. I received orders from the Pentagon, but I regarded them as from God. Elijah was directly told when to move. We, on the other hand, do not have supernatural guidance, or access to God’s ...read more

     | 8,713 views

    This sermon explores Elijah's interactions with the widow of Zarephath, and we learn that God never abandons us, faith requires obedience, and to receive a blessing I must be a blessing. Faith was the key to Elijah's ministry.

    Hebrews 11 has been called God’s “Hall of Faith.” Like the Hall of Fame in sports or other arenas of life, Hebrews 11 gives us the names and tells us, if ever so briefly, what God’s people accomplished “by faith.” We hear such profound accomplishments ...read more

    Malachi 1:6-14 (This sermon is a shorter sermon due to being delivered via Facebook/Live during the Covid-19 shutdown) Today we will be reading from Malachi 1:6-14 If you would like to turn to that passage in your Bibles … (Explain where it is found) It is important to know what the situation ...read more

    When we give, not just out of our wealth, but as a sacrifice it counts as a credit with God, a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God, that opens up God’s riches to meet our needs.

    Textual Idea Paul praised the Philippians for their sacrificial giving, not as something that he needed, but as a credit to their account with God, a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God, that opened up the heavens to meet their needs.
