Church at the Red Door

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. 1. Read 1 Peter 3:14 and discuss how to be courageous in your everyday life. 2. We shoul...

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. Lu...

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 heart...

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 i...

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 pra...

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 t...

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 kn...

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...

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...

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 u...

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 t...

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 1. What activity...

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 unse...

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 pe...

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...

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 eve...

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 1. Are you a control freak? Why are we all subject to this temptation? 2. Do you often fight discouragement? If so, what verse spoke the loudest to you? 3. Have you ever considered yielding to temptation as an actual par...

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 t...

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 eff...

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 o...
