We are reminded that God’s Word is powerful, living, and active. It meets us in every season - guiding us when we feel uncertain, correcting us in love, and giving us strength when we feel weak. Even one word from God has the power to steady our hearts. His truth speaks louder than fear, shame, or the noise of the world, reminding us of who we are in Him. When we are weary, His Word satisfies and heals, reaching deep into our hearts and renewing us day by day. As we continue to dwell in it, He shapes us to become more like Christ. This time we explore the many ways to experience the power of God’s Word in your life.Website: www.crd.churchNeed Prayer? http://www.churchatthereddoor.com/prayer-requestDid you give your life to Christ or renew your relationship today?

You are not MEANINGLESS! by Church at the Red Door

Wow! Here we are at the beginning of a brand spanking new year. Are you able to comprehend the speed of time? It is astounding to me when I think about the fragility of our "frame" and the inexorable march of time. There is truly no time to spare, my friends. Last week, we began trying to make sense of Jesus weeping over Jerusalem and then overturning the money changers tables in the courtyard of what was supposed to be a sacred and hallowed space. What was Jesus trying to communicate with these two notable events? I gave you my take last week. I think it is incredibly important for us right here in the 21st century. I don't know about you, but I want to squeeze every ounce of detail out of Jesus' life that I can. Was He blazing a trail for us to walk two millennia later? Did Jeremiah play a role in his day as well? Is there more to the story than first meets the eye? I think the framework will give us an amazing template for making a few New Year's resolutions. Let's try and adopt the Apostle Paul's attitude when he proclaimed, "I make it my ambition to be pleasing to the Lord."Website: www.crd.churchNeed Prayer? http://www.churchatthereddoor.com/prayer-requestDid you give your life to Christ or renew your relationship today?

Another Christmas celebration is under our belts. Our whole team is hoping that you and your families felt the power of the Gospel this holiday season. He is truly worth our best gifts! I am going to dive deep into the somewhat enigmatic actions of Jesus after His triumphal entry. He wept over Jerusalem and then caused a raucous scene which really enflamed His detractors. What was this all about? Why did Jesus choose this path of action? Was He out of line? The title of this week's message is “Jesus, an Enemy of the State.” Yes, it is supposed to be provocative. Those questions, and many more, will be addressed over the next few weeks. We are asking that you pray for daily in January specifically for our building project.

The Fourth of July is a time to remember those who worked diligently on penning the Declaration of Independence and subsequently laid the foundation for the liberty and freedoms we have today. In our Christian faith, we have those that gave their wealth, health, and - at times - their lives to provide a foundation for our eternal freedom.

We need to be the light of Christ to a world that is fearful and losing hope. We need to come together now and make a "declaration of dependence,” not a “declaration of independence.” Christ is the only hope for anyone and for any country! We must do whatever we can to bless America and others with the love of Christ!

On this Fourth of July weekend, join me on Sunday as we lift up our eyes and praise God for the greatness and the blessings of living in America.

Pastor Paul Berst

It was wonderful to be with you again last Sunday. I always consider it an amazing honor to bring the Word to you and watch your enthusiasm and love for Jesus grow. Thank you for the privilege!

This week, we will finish Luke 12 and the discussion about Jesus' challenging and somewhat mysterious words regarding "casting fire upon the earth." I want to finish this portion of Jesus' dialogue and attempt to capture His reasoning in its fullness.

Have you ever been tempted to procrastinate regarding spiritual things? I know I am often tempted to put things off. Can you imagine folks doing this at the risk of their eternal destinies? Jesus is going to shock us out of our comfort zones, but all for our own good.

I am excited to be back with you this Sunday! I would also like to thank Pastors Paul Berst and George Garza for working hard in their task of teaching and preaching. Paul's message last week was meaningful. God does, in fact, recycle the empty and the discarded. Watch here if you missed it.

This week, we are going to be exploring a controversial statement Jesus made to His disciples about "casting fire upon the earth." What could this possibly mean? Was Jesus an anarchist? Is division ever good? How do we handle these enigmatic statements of the God/man?

Pastor Paul Berst said, "When you are DOWN to nothing...... God is up to something!"

As we live this life on earth, we experience joy and sadness, health and sickness, good times and bad times, success and failure. Are we willing to take our current “containers” and have the creator of the universe recycle us for His next purpose?

In other words, throughout the stages of our lives, God wants us to recycle our attention, energy, and resources in particular areas to achieve what He has set before us. It may be a special need, purpose, or direction that we can only achieve because of our life experiences.

In 2 Corinthians 4:7 Paul claims, “But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.” (NIV)

Join me this Sunday as we recognize the treasure within us and answer the question, “Are we going to allow the potter to mold us (recycle us) into all that we were created to be?”

Pastor Paul Berst explores a very important truth - a promise from God’s Word. If you can grasp the power of this promise, your life will never be the same again.

In Romans 8:1 it reads, “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” There are three questions I want you to think about. Do you believe it?

Do you believe there is never a time when you will turn toward God and not find His arms extended, waiting for your return?

Do you believe there will never be a time when you step out of the boat and your faith begins to flounder, that if you call upon the name of Jesus Christ, He won’t be there to grab a hold of you? Even with all our scars, with all that is wrong with us, with all the terrible consequences our sin has laid upon us, God still wants us. We are inseparable.

"In all our accomplishments - big or small - our good feelings of security and self-worth are only temporary. Think about what you consider worthwhile in your life - where do you place your time, energy, and money.

In the book of John, Jesus gets up after dinner has been served, takes his outer cloak off, gets on his hands and knees with a basin, a jug of water, and a towel. Jesus proceeds to wash the dirty feet of his followers. When he had finished the last disciple’s feet, he was left with a filthy towel and a basin full of muddy water. He then said these words to his disciples, “Do you know what I have done for you?” (John 13:12-17) I don’t think the answer was, “We have clean feet now.”

Join me Sunday as we unpack this story and what our Lord and Savior has done for each of us.

"This Sunday we will look at the lives of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the book of Daniel. Imagine these three brave men standing before the most powerful man on earth with bold defiance.

With one clenched fist they say, “God can rescue us, and we believe He will.” Then the second fist comes up, and they say with equal confidence, “Even if He doesn’t save us, we will not serve your gods.” Essentially, they are saying, “We will trust Him in life, and we will trust Him in death.” That is double-fisted faith!

The furnace - that storm in their lives which looked like the end - turned out to be the greatest thing they had ever experienced. It was the place where they met God with hopes to be delivered from the furnace, but God decided to deliver them in the furnace.

"This Sunday, we will conclude this readiness teaching of Jesus by exploring stewardship and worldliness. Through the many years of living here in the desert, I have met some of the most successful and powerful executives in the world - both men and women. Their attention to detail in their respective fields has been staggering. You don't rise to the top of the heap by simply being lucky. You rise by being sensible, vision oriented, and flat out smart. The shocking thing I have discovered is that many of the most incredible stewards of business have given little thought to their spiritual stewardship; the very stewardship given them by their Creator. God doesn't look for any Bitcoin speculators hoping to hit the jackpot. No, He is looking for sensible stewards. Please join us as we explore this Jesus idea.

"This week, we will continue asking the question, ""How do I prepare for His return?"" It involves shining, service, heightened expectations, and a pulling away from the chaos of a turbulent ""seen realm"" focus. Not easy! We need one another for patterning His life in real and visible ways.

"This Sunday, we are talking about another flammable topic -- Jesus' Take on Retirement. Some people hear that and might look for a reason to skip this sermon. Not you, of course! Jesus came to give life, joy, and peace. He is not going to leave you hanging. Therefore, we must dive deeper!

"Do you think there is unpardonable sin? Jesus said there was, so obviously there is such a thing.

Some people become really frightened by this concept. It certainly carries a weightiness which leads me to this question - how can we unpack this challenging statement of Jesus while staying thoroughly consistent with the rest of His teaching? That, my friends, is the subject of this Sunday’s message.

"This Sunday, we will get an in-depth look at some ""bad eye"" folks - both from the Pharisees’ camp and the lawyers’ camp. Jesus is going to pronounce some woes on these leaders. Those woes continue even today. At times, we are all subject to the ""bad eye syndrome."" We fail to think critically and lack introspection.

In understanding some of these old stories of Israel's past, it will help us immensely in our attempts to follow Him in the 21st century.

"This week, we are headed deeper into Luke Chapter 11. The religious leaders of Jesus’ day are going to reveal the depths of their blindness by actually accusing Jesus of being part of Satan’s organization. Can you imagine such an idea? The Creator of all things is now being challenged on His allegiance to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Jesus is going to confront them on several fronts, and I believe understanding His tactics can be very helpful for us - His followers. This is going to get a bit weird, but I promise you it will enliven your walk and challenge you in some unique ways.

This week, we move to the next chapter of Luke where we will get some great insight on how to practice sitting at Jesus' feet, as well as how we should pray. Several years ago, I spent several weeks going into great detail on Jesus' teaching concerning prayer. It now surfaces in our study of the Gospel of Luke. Unlike last time, I plan on giving you a rather quick teaching on the Lord's Prayer using it as a template, but even more, I want to give you a powerful golden nugget of truth regarding prayer. My intent is to inspire you and give you more clarity on this difficult topic.

Have you ever found yourself on a road you never expected? Life is a lot like that isn't it? We turn down a road that we believe is the right one and often times, we end up in places that we never intended to be or hoped we would never find ourselves.

Paul Berst, explores how we can loose our way Biblically, and how "slowing down" and taking a biblical perspective can restore us.

Luke 24:13-35

Last week, many of you mentioned that you now see the story of the Good Samaritan in a new and fresh way. I am believing the same may be said about the story of Mary and Martha. Many of you will know the story, but I am hoping to add some fresh perspective with God’s help. If you missed last week’s message, watch here. Folks, we are going to get through this pandemic one day. Please stay safe and if isolation is needed, use it to draw you nearer to the lover of your soul. As always, you will be missed if you are not with us! In Christ, Jeffrey Cranford and the Entire Church at the Red Door Team

Join us as Pastor Paul Berst teaches on "Second Chances." Aren't you glad we get a second chance with God when we fall short of the mark?

In Philippians 4:4 the Apostle Paul writes, “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice!” Rejoice always? Really, Paul? You have no idea what you are asking. Upon hearing this, many people will simply brush it aside as unrealistic and unfeasible.

How can the Apostle Paul, or God, expect us to rejoice when we are having marital problems, our hopes have been dashed, we just received a bad health report, or we are dealing with family issues? It seems impossible!

It is impossible for some people, but not for us – “IF...” Join me Sunday as we explore the big “IF.”

Philippians 4:4-9

Questions: READ PHILIPPIANS 4:4-9 1. What do you think it looks like to rejoice even when life is difficult? 2. In verse 5, Paul reminds the Philippians that “the Lord is near.” In what ways is God literally near to you? 3. The beginning of verse 6 says “do not be anxious.” If we are honest, we all encounter worry often on a weekly, even daily, basis. What are you anxious about right now? 4, The next part of verse 6 says to come to God in prayer and petition in all situations. What situations do you tend to pray about? When are you less likely to pray about a situation? 5. Paul goes on to say to pray with thanksgiving. What are three things you are grateful for right now? What could it look like for you to pray with thanksgiving this week?

Many of us come from different places in our spiritual life. Some have followed the Lord for a long time, while some are just getting started. Some have had their ups and downs, and some may not even know where to begin.

But young or old, single or married, kids or no kids, my hope this Father’s Day is that you will hear me as a friend who cares about you, as a pastor who cares about this church, calling you to join me to make a deeper commitment. If there is one thing this world desperately needs right now, it is more Godly men and women.

Am I seeking Jesus, on a daily basis?
Am I trying to hear from Jesus?
Are we holding our thoughts captive?
Are we using our words to edify at home? To edify our wife? To edify our kids? To edify our golf, or tennis, or our work place?
Am I living a life that is transparent? If someone was with me all day, how would it look to them?
Am I striving to meet the mission God has called me to?
Is there any fruit in my life?
Do I mourn for those that don’t know God or don’t know Jesus Christ?
Do the things that break God’s heart break mine?

This Sunday, we will continue looking into Luke's account of the life and ministry of Jesus. I have to tell you that the story we are covering this week has always fascinated me. Jesus declared that a Roman centurion had demonstrated the greatest faith He had seen in all of Israel. How was that possible? A gentile? A Roman overlord? What could Jesus possibly have meant by this? What does this tell us about faith? Would you want Jesus to meet you and declare that you had the greatest faith He had seen in your geographical location? Do you have "big faith" or are you an "of little faith" person. Can that change? All these questions - and more - are going to be addressed this Sunday.

Romans 7:14-25

Do you believe that Jesus is still approachable, even in your current state?
What mental strongholds keep you from taking larger and larger steps of faith in your own life?
What has God impressed upon you to do in the past that proved "above and beyond" what you could have ever imagined, once you acted?
Have you ever prayed that God would increase your faith?
Who do you know that you might suspect has the spiritual gift of faith? Why?

This week, we will finish up Jesus’ Sermon on the Plain. It gets pretty confrontational as Jesus closes His short discourse by describing blind leaders, their methods of judgment and the very, very shaky ground on which they had built their religious lives. Any application to the 21st century? Absolutely! Things simply don’t change. The heart of man is fallen and needs truth like a starving man needs food. Jesus has a profound way of getting right to the point - the point that most people work desperately to avoid. I also want to explore the “different Jesus” that our world has worked overtime to create. A caution is in order!

Luke 6:39-49

Are you startled at times, by your own lack of sight?
Have you been tempted to judge someone recently before seeing clearly enough to make a balanced judgment?
Why do you think we are so quick to judge?
Have you ever been tempted to create “another Jesus?” If so, what did He look like?
Do you have confidence in your own salvation? If so, why? If not, why?

Memorial Day is our attempt to remember, recognize, and thank those who gave their best and all they had so that we might continue to enjoy the liberties that are ours. This Sunday, we will honor our nation’s fallen and the fallen of our Christian faith as we walk through the great faith chapter in Hebrews 11.

Read 1 Peter 3:14 and discuss how to be courageous in your everyday life.
We should not be afraid of threats from unbelievers. Peter states to share your faith of hope even though some will not accept it, as you may be ridiculed.

Read 1 Peter 3:15 and share some ways you have been or have witnessed others being ridiculed for their Christian faith.

Read 1 Peter 3:17 and discuss Peter’s statement: “For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong.”

This weekend, Senior Pastor Jeffrey Cranford continues his teaching regarding the Sermon on the Plain. As you’ve heard, we are called to “love our enemies,” but how do we truly pull that off? Tune in to find out.

Also, this Sunday we will host the inaugural “Morning Mix” with pastors Paul Berst and Randy Lintecum. This segment will air at 9:15 AM, leading us into the regular service at 9:30 AM.

Luke 6:27-38

This week we head down the rabbit's hole to see what the world looks like down there. Jesus is beginning to describe the revolutionary ways of a kingdom unseen. What seems to be up is down, and what seems to be down is up. It is a strange world for those who have been enslaved to the same system their entire lives. Many other stories that we have loved from childhood have left an echo in our hearts that is confirmed and actually lived out in the life of Jesus. Jesus is truly the protagonist who has brought to life the ultimate eucatastrophe - that is, a "good catastrophe."

Luke 6:20-26

What is most strange to you about the "way of being human" Jesus seems to be describing?
What is the hardest pill to swallow surrounding the sermon on the plain?
What do you think the freshly appointed apostles thought of Jesus' teaching?
Have you ever been persecuted for the name of Jesus? If so, how

Have you ever thought of the Gospel as a fairytale? Many people do. They imagine that talking donkeys and snakes simply did not exist. Many of our friends and family do not take another look at the words of Jesus, because they conceive His very existence as merely the imagination of ancient writers. The fact is, the Gospel follows a general pattern that most fairytales employ: good conquers evil in the midst of inconceivable odds (or at least apparent odds) while utilizing underdogs to overthrow the "powers that be." I want to take a deeper dive into the unimaginable plan that Jesus had for his apostles and any who would dare follow in His footsteps. Footsteps that exemplify another dimension's way of being human.

Luke 6:17-26

Questions:

Have you ever considered that the Gospel has many of the characteristics of a fairytale?
Why do you suppose fairytales are so deeply embedded in the human psyche? Wishful thinking or intuition?
Do stories from another dimension startle you or excite you?
Have you ever considered that wealth and security might actually be an impediment to a deeper walk with Jesus? Explain?
Have you ever thought of your hunger for God, and His ways, as being a true advantage? Do you hunger?

Rather than select the superstars of religion, Jesus chose the unimaginably unqualified. Not only that, He chose a man who He knew would betray him. Wild thought, isn't it? Do you realize how revolutionary His choices of men and women were? It says a lot about us, and it says a lot about God. Curious? Tune in to unpack the next few verses in Luke 6.

Luke 6:12-16

Are you increasingly reliant on prayer to make the big decisions of life? If not, why not? Have you ever wondered why Jesus, knowing Judas would betray him, selected him? More to the point, are you surprised He chose you? Have you ever been hurt by others inside the church? If you have been hurt by others inside the church, have you ever considered that was God's plan, and not His failure to protect you? Does it feel humbling to recognize that God often chooses the weak to advance His most precious agenda?

This week, I have entitled the message “Missing the Point...Badly!” There are many things in the Bible that infuriate me: injustices that are perpetrated on the vulnerable, demonstrations of pride and greed, carelessness with others, and murder. However, this week we peer into true evil. This is the kind of evil that necessitates some cover. Religion often acts as that kind of cover. People love to hide behind religion when their intentions are grotesque. This is what we will deal with on Sunday. Do not think this is just a study of "things long since passed." It is just as tempting for us today as it was for the religious hypocrites of 2,000 years ago.

Luke 6:1-11

What has been the worst thing you have experienced in the name of religion?
When have you personally been at fault when mercy did not triumph over judgment?
Are you aware of some "traditions of men" that put a strangle hold on people's thriving in the kingdom?

This Sunday, we are going to explore some new things. Jesus was constantly introducing radical new ideas to the "sheep of Israel." Many of the shepherds of these sheep did not like what they were hearing. Constantly accusing Jesus of blaspheming, they just couldn't put their minds around His statements. We often do the same in our dealings with Him. We are intrigued with Him, but we don't quite know what to do with Him. Senior Pastor Jeffrey Cranford explores how amazingly fresh His ways are this weekend. Amazingly fresh! Following Him is not for cowards or folks who like the status quo. He is always and forever on the move.

Luke5:27-39

Who led you to Jesus? Was it someone completely qualified in a religious sense?
What new things is God doing in your life right now, or what has He done in the past that surprised you?
Name a new “wineskin" idea you may have had in the past, but abandoned because you were criticized.
Do you marvel at the creativity of God in nature? Why wouldn't you marvel at His recreation of you?
Why wouldn’t God constantly be doing things that were "above and beyond what we could think or imagine?

This week, we press on in the Gospel of Luke. In Luke 5, Jesus is appearing to swat at a hornet's nest by forgiving sins. Wow! You may not find that very fascinating with the luxury of hindsight and knowing the basic message of the Gospel today, but that was big news 2,000 years ago. Only God could do that kind of thing! What was Jesus doing here? There are major things going on in this scene that must be unpacked.

Luke 5:17-26

Have you ever felt too ashamed to go to Jesus?
Did you run from Him because of it?
What was the moment you realized you could go to Him?
Isn't this kind of an ongoing process for all believers?
Do you really believe that He still has the authority to forgive sins? How have you seen this in your own life?

This Sunday represents a very important moment in the life of Jesus. It was for Him the point of no return. For his followers, the next seven days will be both the most jubilant and the most horrific.

We call it Palm Sunday, but that was not what it was called in historical times. It was actually called Lamb Selection Day. Join me as we investigate the importance of Jesus arriving in Jerusalem on Lamb Selection Day, and why it was His "Point of No Return."

Questions to Discuss: Why was it Jesus "Point of No return?" Why do you think Jesus arrived on Lamb Selection Day?

This week, Senior Pastor Jeffrey Cranford will continue his teaching in Luke Chapter 5. The sermon is entitled, “Jesus is Willing.” Intrigued? We hope so! Luke 5:12-15 1. Do you ever think of Jesus as actually seeing you and your specific needs? 2. Have you ever made this remark? "Oh, I wouldn't ask Him that. He has other more important things to do." 3. From your theological perspective, do you understand that God hates the dramatic effects of sin? 4. Does seeing Jesus as the shepherd of your soul comfort you? Read Psalm 23 and reflect on it.

This week, we launch into Chapter 5 of the Gospel of Luke. There is so much to learn from the disciples in their response to Jesus and his seemingly strange requests. What, after all, did He know about fishing? He was a carpenter’s son. Did He actually believe that He was the master of everything? Let’s be honest, you won’t faithfully spend time with someone you don’t think possesses the answers to everything, knows the future, and has the power to move heaven and earth for you. From this semon we will see that “the boys” got it - they really got it! Their response - as the Mastercard commercial goes - was “priceless.” Luke 5:1-11

As His apprentices, we are called to the same engagement with God the Father. Believe me, I struggle as many of you do. Good things get in the way of the perfect things. I want to do better, and I want to be more in tune with the Father's desired activities in my life. I don't want to spin my wheels in an ever increasing "Fatherless vacuum." That's our task this week.

Luke 4:42-44

What activity pulls you away from your alone time with God?
When you think back to your intimate times with God, did you find yourself emotionally balanced?
Why do you think it is so hard to be consistent with your alone time with God?
Do you struggle to be alone? Do you feel alone when God is supposed to be there? How do you overcome that?
Please share your successful experiences with others.

Senior Pastor Jeffrey Cranford continues his study of the Gospel of Luke by finishing the two displays of Jesus’ encounters with the realms of the seen and the unseen. Last week, he had focused on the demonic, and now his focus will be the physical realm by healing people. This will help you see what amazing authority Jesus has over all areas of our lives. Luke 4:31-44

This week, we continue the study of the Gospel of Luke. In addition to the demonstration of power over the unseen, we also explore the implications of Jesus taking authority over the physical realm by healing people. As we discussed last week, people were amazed by the authority of His teaching precisely because He was backing it up with God-like authority over the realms of both the seen and unseen. Are you persuaded that Jesus has this kind of authority? Luke 4:31-44 1. Why was Jesus performing miracles? Why not just tell people He was there to save them? 2. Do you think most people were more fascinated with the displays of power or Jesus Himself? 3. Are you more intrigued with the power of the kingdom or a relationship with Jesus? 4. Do you now understand that proclaiming liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners applies to this day?

Jesus had made some sobering claims about himself and some rather confrontational claims about the Jewish nation as well. How would he follow this up? What was the encore to something as dramatic as that? For goodness sake, they tried to throw him off of a cliff! The answer is simple; he began to do exactly what he had promised - proclaim liberty to captives and freedom to prisoners. Again, the people were all amazed. How does that apply to us in the 21st century? Luke 4:31-44 1. What "works of the devil" has Jesus destroyed in your life? 2. Have you ever had a physical healing? 3. Think about your own first encounter with Jesus. Was it a result of someone else in your life and the interaction they were having with Jesus? 4. Do you often go away to pray? If not, why not? 5. Do you have a sense of GO when you talk to God? Does he ever put it on your heart to share your faith?

As Paul Harvey would say, are you ready to hear "the rest of the story?" Last week, we observed the extraordinary moment when Jesus unrolled the scroll in the synagogue in Nazareth, read a prophecy about the coming messiah written by Isaiah 700 years prior, and simply said, "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing." Wow! Did you catch that? Jesus was leaving no room for speculation about who He was claiming to be. This simple act has reverberated down through the last 2,000 years and is still impacting millions of people each year. Jesus is "the man." Actually, Jesus is the God-man. Luke 4: 22-30

Can you believe it? We are now going to continue our walk through the Gospel of Luke. I know that using four weeks to take a deep dive into our strategies to battle temptation might have "tempted" you to tune out, but we have actually had a large response from many of you, saying that it was very helpful and gave you new tools to combat the struggles between your ears. Luke 4:14-15 1. Have you ever thought of the Scripture as being "progressively unveiled?" 2. If so, has it dawned on you that you know more than almost any Biblical figure ever knew about God's plans? 3. Have you been a recipient of Isaiah's prophecy in chapter 61? If so, how would you describe your transformation?

Senior Pastor Jeffrey Cranford continues his teaching on temptation, providing us the tool kit to resist satan's attempts to influence our lives and choices.

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

Are you a control freak? Why are we all subject to this temptation?
Do you often fight discouragement? If so, what verse spoke the loudest to you?
Have you ever considered yielding to temptation as an actual partnership with evil?
What is your resolve in 2021?

Senior Pastor Jeffrey Cranford presents the final part of theTemptation Tool Kit. The final part of this message will not only complete the subcategories of "throne grabbing," but also provide some practical ways to counter the strategies designed to keep us in the dark. You will not want to miss it! 1 Corinthians 10:13

We are excited to announce that Pastor Paul will be hosting The Living Room for six weeks. There will be wonderful messages from our pastors, discussions about the ministries CRD helps with, uplifting worship time, and much more. Join us as we sit back from the comfort of our living rooms and enjoy the work the Lord is doing in us.

Acts 1:1-6

This week, we continue with that theme as we go into the subcategories of the three primary categories of temptation: appetites, shiny things, and throne grabbing. Pastor Jeffrey Cranford also plans to give a broader description of the effects of yielding to temptation. Do you realize that you're giving into temptation is actually a decision to partner with the anti-creation force referred to as the great serpent? Sound overdramatized? Well, we plan to make the case that it is reality. Questions to ponder after service and/or discuss with your small group: 1. How did you utilize the, "It is written" weapon this week? 2. What is your greatest source of temptation? 3. Do you think of yourself as an agent of shalom? 4. Are you choosing to join "the resistance?"

Why fight? Why Battle Temptation? Join us as Pastor Jeffery Cranford gives us the necessary toolkit to walk faithfully with God.

Questions to ponder after service and/or discuss with your small group: 1. So, how was your week? 2. Were you able to identify the "Big 3" in your own life? 3. Are you determined to apply the Word to every temptation? 4. Do you truly have the faith that this sword is effective? If not, how might you make strides in this area?

It's that time of year when many families put up Christmas trees in their homes as part of our celebration of the season. But what does the Christmas Tree mean to you? Join us as Pastor Paul Berst delivers a wonderful message while guiding us through Hosea 14:8. May you never look at a CHRISTmas tree in the same way again. Merry Christmas and God’s blessing and favor upon you and your families.

It is important that during turbulent times that we speak biblical truth out of love (Ephesians 4:15), and it is imperative that we pray for our leaders - whether we agree with their leadership or not (1 Timothy 2:1-2). Please join us as we learn more about what God's instructions are for us as we navigate these events that are unprecedented in our lifetime. Questions to discuss with your family or small group and/or ponder during your quiet time: 1. Which circle do you tend to slip into when your passions are aroused? 2. What attitudes and actions are most evident when you leave the kingdom circle? Are you able to see this as a manifestation of the flesh? 3. Is your confidence increasing as you learn to use the Word to battle these temptations? 4. What partnerships have you made in the past that you now see as unprofitable?

With this sermon we move on to chapter four and investigate the temptations of Jesus in the wilderness. These three temptations represent the three primary categories of all temptations. All of us are tempted in these areas. Without a strong weapon to stand against these assaults on our personhood, we can easily succumb to years of pain and despair in the relentless pursuit of that Satanic whisper in our ears. Pastor Jeffrey shares with you some scriptural strategies to overcome these attacks. Luke 4:1-13 1. Are you surprised that it was the Holy Spirit that led Jesus into the wilderness? Can you see that this is a journey we all must take? 2. Of the three categories of temptations, which category do you find to be your weak spot? 3. Do you have a scripture or multiple scriptures that help you counter this attack? 4. With respect to the AIM system, would you be able to give great detail about your walk in the kingdom?

This week, we are diving deep on this enigmatic character affectionately referred to as John the Baptist. Many of you know that John and his forerunning ministry have been a big area of study for me through the years. Though I have a lot to say about this amazing Biblical figure, I will constrain myself and offer up some insights that will help you live right here in the 21st century. As you can tell, I love John and understanding his role will make you a more effective Gospel advocate. It may not sound too exciting, but trust me when I say, you are in for some fun! Questions to ponder: 1. Had you ever understood John as being the "best of the best"? 2. What are the several things John's ministry represented? 3. How might you use John's ministry to help a friend see their plight without Jesus? 4. Does it give you confidence to know that John's life was predicted hundreds of years in advance? 5. Do you realize that God has a specific role for you to play in the earth, and it was written before your birth? 6. Do you realize that you are greater than John?

We continue our march through the Gospel of Luke by exploring some details in Luke's Gospel that we don't want to escape your attention. It brings up some deep and profound truths about the nature of Jesus. Was He God, or man, or both? Was becoming a man, in some unique way, helping us to understand our own journey through this life? If that piques your interest, settle in and get ready to dive in!

This week, we will continue our march through the Gospel of Luke. The message is entitled, “The Expectant Ones.” While Elizabeth and Mary are both expecting in the story, Senior Pastor Jeffrey Cranford will be referring to a type of expectancy that is spiritual. Have you ever thought about whom God favors? The angel Gabriel greets Mary with, “Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you.” Today, we ask the question, “Why?” Who are the favored ones on the earth? Does that grab you? This message will encourage you and provoke you to a new dimension of faith. Can’t wait to be with you!

This week, we are going to continue our journey through the Gospel of Luke. We hope last week reinforced your belief that the Bible is an utterly reliable historical source of life for the world. In this teaching, we are going to explore the spectacular fulfillment of the Old Testament in the birth of John the Baptist. Whether you realize it or not, John was ushering in a new kingdom and signifying the end of an entire way of relating to the Creator. His birth was no less spectacular. Strange, miraculous, and somewhat disturbing could all be used in describing the circumstances surrounding his birth. Are you ready for this?

We continue our walk through the Gospel of Luke. Specifically, we take on the question of the Bible's composition. Who wrote the Bible - God or man? What does the Bible say about its own composition? Where do both followers of Jesus and non-followers make mistakes in their answers to these questions? It is vital that we understand this if we want to be effective in the marketplace of ideas. This sermon will further arm you to fluidly and powerfully "tell the Gospel." Luke 1:4

Often, we are confronted with the letters of the New Testament - and rightfully so. They give such pragmatic instruction for life as a Jesus follower. Letters like Romans and Ephesians give us deep insight into the profound depths of a solid theological understanding, but sometimes we miss the extraordinary life and direct teachings of Jesus. We have been discussing what it means to “tell the gospel.” Our hope is that by simply going through the story of Jesus, we can glean some life-changing insight into His life. That process will give us endless awareness into the kingdom of God. Please join us as Pastor Jeffrey Cranford walks us through Luke 1:1-4

Many of you are concerned about the state of the country, and you may be anxious about the upcoming election. Oftentimes, we find it difficult to articulate these concerns to our friends and family. Please join us this Sunday as Pastor Jeffrey and special guest Jonathan Darville equip us to understand the truth about events before us. You do not want to miss this important teaching.

Let me begin by asking some questions. How are you choosing your candidates and propositions? By their political party association? By what your neighbor said or a talking head on your favorite news network? Are you choosing by what your Creator has laid out before you? Or by what our Lord and Savior has taught and guided you in? Join us as Pastor Paul Berst teaches on Deuteronomy 31:6

The dictionary states that, “Divine intervention is the involvement (intervention) of a deity (divine) in the affairs of humans. ... The particular phrase divine intervention, often implying the direction of God to prevent or stop some calamity.” What keeps Christians bound to that which would destroy them, causing guilt and confusion that allows them to feel defeated and ashamed to seek help. As a Christian, you have freedom and victory in Jesus Christ in all areas of your life. Please join us as Pastor Paul Berst takes us through Romans 6:6-7.

We are going to be “talking about hell.” Like it or not, the subject comes up all the time when you start talking about Jesus and His kingdom. It is good news that He has invaded the earth! It is extraordinary news in light of the chaos of hell, something we have all played a role in supporting at times in our lives. Sound strange? Good! Join as Senior Pastor Jeffery Cranford takes us into Part 3 of "Sharing The Gospel." Matt. 25:41-46

"I know I should share the gospel, but how?" Senior Pastor Jeffrey Cranford explains more here about a very specific command Jesus gave His early followers. Join us as we explore Part 2 of Sharing the Gospel. You will be well equipped to bring down false ideas about God and allow people to see Him for who He is. 1 Kings 8: 1-11

"I know I should share the gospel, but how?" Many of us have had this very thought - you are not alone. There was a very specific command Jesus gave His early followers. That command is still in effect, and Senior Pastor Jeffrey Cranford will explains more here. Acts 1:1-11

A vaccine is to boost our immunity to prevent us from getting a virus. An antidote, on the other hand, counteracts the effects of an unwanted disease or affliction. Pastor Paul Berst provides us "The Antidote." Please join us as he teaches on Luke 10:38-42.

Pastor Paul Berst teaches on Moses and his burning bush moment. Just like Moses, there has been (or will be) a moment in our lives where God calls out to us to be all that He has created us to be. To trust Him…to step out. John 17:20-23

Join us as Senior Pastor Jeffrey Cranford speaks to the question that's on a lot of people's minds right now, "Is this the end of the world?" 2 Peter 3:10-13
