God proclaims His creation as "good" yet we read of a serpent that obvious is not good tempting Eve. Who is the snake and what can we learn about him. This week we pull back the curtain to see who is behind the temptation of Adam and Eve.

Genesis 1 is the cliff notes of creation. As we refer to Isaiah and Job we have the wonderful opportunity to hear God talk about the creation process!

Too often we read Genesis as book of teachable stories. But it's far more than that. It's the very foundation of our faith. From this book flows so much of what we believe and do in daily life.

Sukkot, or The Feast of Tabernacles, was instituted by God as a way of reminding Israelites in every generation of their deliverance by God from Egypt. Ari does a wonderful job of teaching us the significance of Sukkot to Christians, as this ancient holiday foreshadows the work and actions of Christ's return.

Joe Caracappa concludes our summer study of the book of Romans this week. He points out to us that Romans opens the same way it closes -- by drawing our attention to the glory of God. This is a great overview of the glory of God!

Paul continues to help his readers transition from the doctrinal beauty of the first eleven chapters of Romans to real life application -- and it all begins with how to think differently.

This morning Rob Quanstrom leads us through a study of Romans 12, the chapter that transitions from doctrine in the first eleven chapters to real life application of that doctrine in daily life.

As we study Romans 11 Michael Breece focuses on the question of God's plan for His chosen nation Israel. He takes us back to Genesis 15, into Zechariah and ends in Revelation 19 as he ties together God's plan for His people.

Michael Breece tackles the doctrine of election as he teaches from Romans 10 this week. Is God totally sovereign or does man have free will? Is it possible that both can be true?

Michael Breece takes over preaching duties as he unfolds the beauty of the Gospel from Romans 9.

Perhaps those who are best able to attest to the truth of God's Word, especially certain promises, are those who are living out those truths in their life. This week Greg Shipley teaches from Romans 8 and spends extra time with verse 28, "all things work together for good." His sermon is especially powerful as he applies the passage to the life of his own family as they face grave h...

This week Greg Shipley teaches how righteousness is given to us through the death of Christ.

Greg Shipley unpacks the truths of Romans 5 for us this week by teaching that God's grace not only abounds but "superabounds" in our lives. Our sin is no match for the grace of God!

In our study of Romans this week, Greg Shipley does an excellent job of explaining the saving nature of our faith. In particular, he takes a detailed look at the faith of Abraham and all of it's imperfections and explains why it was still "reckoned unto him as righteous."

Our youth ministry wrapped up summer camp this week and brought Freddie Coile home with them to serve as our guest speaker. Freddie, a gifted evangelist, has been ministering to Crossing for over 20 years. Everywhere he speaks, he has one message: Have you trusted Christ? This week he shares the wonderful news of God's gift of salvation and how every man, woman and child can experience it!

This week in our summer series on Romans, our teacher, Greg Shipley, teaches from Romans 2-3 showing us how Scripture teaches no man is righteous and is only justified by faith.

Greg Shipley kicks off our study of Romans, which is our summer preaching series. This week he focuses on chapter 1 and the power of the gospel to save all who believe.

This week we had nearly 100 CEF staff & students with us in our service. Pastor Tim took the opportunity to encourage them as well as our church about the importance of children's ministry and the far reaching impact of the gospel.

Has life left you beaten and battered? Feel like you could use a little comfort? This week Pastor Tim teaches from Isaiah 40 where God comforts to the nation of Israel -- and you and I.

This week in our study of the prayer life of Paul, we look at Paul's prayers in Ephesians 1 & 3 which touch on the "surpassing greatness of God's power."

When we pray who are we praying to? Many of us begin our prayers by saying, "Our heavenly Father." Do we really think of what that means. This week Pastor Tim shares how adopting his own two children teaches us about the great, unmatchable love God has for you and I that makes Him a great Father -- one that we can pray to with confidence.

This week we began a new sermon series focusing on the prayer life of the Apostle Paul. We focused on the four major themes of his prayers and compared our prayer life to them. How similar or different are the things we pray for to what Paul prayed for?

"Have I not told you" -- a phrase God used as He reminded Joshua to be courageous and put away all doubt or fear. Time and again, God has promised His abiding presence with us in any and all circumstances!

"Thy Word is a lamp unto my . . . voting choices." Our lives should match up with the principles of God's Word. We should think, speak, act -- and vote in accordance with God's standards. This week we take a look at a few of the principles we can use to guide us as we decide how to cast our votes.
