     | 203 views

    Recap of last message of Triumphal Entry • We looked at Matthews account of the Triumphal Entry, and • Zechariah’s prophesy of the coming Messiah found in Zechariah 9:9

    The setting free of Barabbas is found in all 4 Gospels. We’ll look @ Matthew’s account beginning in verse 15 of chapter 27. Read Matthew 27:15-26 -show video of I am Barabbas- Powerful video huh?

    Let The Little Children Come To Me

    Contributed by Delray Lentz on Nov 13, 2023
     | 430 views

    it was put on my heart that since today is our Love Disciples launch, it would be appropriate to remind ourselves of what scripture tells Jesus said about the little children.

    Last week we basically stayed in one passage of scripture, so today we’ve got some catching up to do, as we get back to scriptural gymnastics. Our key verses will be found in: Matthew 19:13-15 Proverbs 22:6 Focus on three main ideas today: Discipleship Training up our youth Overcoming ...read more

    Racing Time

    Contributed by Delray Lentz on Nov 13, 2023
     | 260 views

    Greetings Something new in God’s Word? Familiar passage with new eyes? Each week I ask you this question because I genuinely care about your relationship with our Savior.

    One morning in 1986 I was all alone on a 4-wheeler with 50 acres to myself. I was off-work that day, so I decided to drive from Spring to Centerville to surprise my mom with a visit. I got there, she wasn’t there, but the 4-wheeler was. That day, I rode that 4-wheeler for all it was worth. Just me ...read more

    Authority

    Contributed by Delray Lentz on Nov 13, 2023
     | 303 views

    Good morning Cross Pointe Church! • Today’s message may have a few questions. • Not intended for you to raise your hands or answer. • The first question is: o Something new in God’s Word? o Familiar passage with new eyes? 

    • In 2020 did you perceive it was a double standard around the country that churches were shut-down or limited in services allowed, yet bars, restaurants, big box stores and malls were deemed essential, so not nearly as affected? BODY • As Christians, I believe there are some critical questions ...read more

    The Cost Of Being A Servant

    Contributed by Delray Lentz on Nov 13, 2023
     | 364 views

    Did you learn something new in God’s word today? Did you see a familiar passage with new eyes? I hope you did! Last week we examined what sacrifice looks like, and one of the aspects of sacrifice is service. Today we will look at 3 key passages about servanthood.

    Let’s begin in John 13:1 (Tell who John was) • Was the son of Zebedee, brother of James and one of the “sons of Thunder” • Audience was new Christians and searching non-Christians • Last surviving of the original 12 disciples • Wrote 5 books in the NT (read v.1-5) NLT Service is about action: v.4 ...read more

     | 643 views

    We can’t change our past, but we can learn from it

    THERE’S NOTHING BACK THERE Just want to look at several passages of scripture with you about dealing with what is behind us. Gonna go through them kind of fast, you may want to just write them down, instead of trying to turn to them. Obviously up to you. 1) PSALM 103:12 NKJV “as far as the east is ...read more

    Shipwrecked

    Contributed by Delray Lentz on Oct 31, 2023
     | 962 views

    The purpose of the message is for us to consider what we do with our shipwrecks. Because we all have them!

    Today’s key passage is found in Acts 28:1-10 I want us to start in chapter 24, to see how we get to chapter 27, as we examine chapter 28 (are ya with me so far?) Chapter 24- Paul is accused of inciting an insurrection Chapter 25- Since Paul is a Roman citizen, he makes an appeal to Caesar Chapter ...read more

    Using Our Gifts

    Contributed by Delray Lentz on Oct 31, 2023
     | 566 views

    • Today is Fathers’ Day and I suspect most churches in America are hearing a Fathers’ Day sermon today. • There’s nothing wrong with that! • However, Cross Pointe Church is not most churches.

    Yesterday, I watched a video of the metamorphosis of a butterfly. As a youth, I learned of the 4 stages: The egg- layed in a host plant The caterpillar-breaks out of the egg, eats the eggshell, feeds on the host plant The cocoon-hangs on the host plant and forms a cocoon, then emerges as a ...read more

    The Power Of Prayer

    Contributed by Delray Lentz on Oct 31, 2023
     | 325 views

    Did you read something new in Gods Word this past week? Did you read a familiar passage with new eyes? Did you share this with someone as a means to witness, give testimony, or minister?

    This past week, I was in a funk for the most of the week. Things were just “off” for me. Lisa can always sense when something is “off”, but I couldn’t put my finger on why something was “off” for the longest time. Then, at some point Friday, the “why” was revealed to me. (a little later explain my ...read more

    Afraid Of The Dark

    Contributed by Delray Lentz on Oct 31, 2023
     | 273 views

    For those of you who haven’t experienced Scriptural Gymnastics, the goal is not to turn to every verse we cover, but rather at the very most, write down the address of the verses, so you can go back and dig a little deeper.

    o Purpose of today’s message: ? Give us hope and encouragement to move out of the darkness into His marvelous light! Although we won’t get absorbed into darkness today, I’d like to examine some aspects of it. Genesis 1:2- The earth was without form, and void, and darkness was on the face of the ...read more

    Unity Through Prayer

    Contributed by Delray Lentz on Oct 31, 2023
     | 389 views

    I love it when someone calls me or texts me asking me questions about God’s Word. I don’t know all the answers, but I know the One who does! When I get these questions, it helps me grow. I believe it impossible for a church to grow, if the pastor and congregation are not growing in Christ!

    Years ago, when Lisa and I joined a church that had just started, I invited some friends to church. They came, and one of them said “now that’s my kind of sermon, 13 minutes long”. Well, it wasn’t the short sermon that hooked him, because they never returned. Today may be the shortest sermon you ...read more

    Leftovers

    Contributed by Delray Lentz on Aug 21, 2023
     | 1,641 views

    Since Thanksgiving, we’ve all probably had plenty of good food, and usually in our family, there are plenty of leftovers. So many leftovers that sometimes they spoil before we get a chance to eat them!

    Our key verses today will be found in: Exodus 34:14 Matthew 6:33 Today’s message is titled: Leftovers. As we go into 2023, I thought we might remind ourselves of the importance of putting God First. BODY Putting God first. Sounds easy enough, right? Today’s message is loaded with scripture.

    The Gift

    Contributed by Delray Lentz on Aug 21, 2023
     | 401 views

    • Do the holidays break you out of your routine? • Do you go into a holiday traditional? • Lisa often says our tradition is that we have no tradition!

    Recently I read a social media post about The Virgin Mary, and how her traditional sense of family was changed forever. She didn’t ask for this disruption in her life, but when she got the news from the angel, about the gift she was to receive, she responds by singing a song. Oftentimes, isn’t that ...read more

     | 598 views

    Although we will consider the individual spiritual gifts, I want us to examine a couple of other elements of these passages.

    PURPOSE- Answering God’s call Key verses: Ephesians 4:11-13 11: And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists and some pastors and teachers. 12: for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, 13: till we all come to the ...read more

    ...and Bring Me Back My Change

    Contributed by Delray Lentz on Aug 21, 2023
     | 625 views

    Our world is going through changes at light speed, and it is easy to get overwhelmed with it all.

    Open your bibles to John 20:22. Before we get started, I want to give everyone the chance to get there, because you don’t want to miss this. And when He had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them “Receive the Holy Spirit, and bring me back my change”. -Look out into the audience and say ...read more
