Pastor Tom Crandall®️

The current state of the church is one of self-love and self-motivation, but at what cost? The pursuit of personal fulfillment has led to a neglect of the fundamental principles of Christianity, such as forgiveness, holiness, and repentance. The church has become a place of entertainment and a corporation focused on personal gain rather than spreading the message of Jesus Christ. It is time to ref...

Over 2 thousand times does it mention in the Bible .that God called people he met with them if you will. Some where seeking him and wanting to met with him and some not so much. Just as the Israelites journeyed through the desert on their way to the promised land, we too may face difficult and barren seasons in our lives. And just has in this verse the question arrives at our feet who is your God....

Last week we started this series this week we will dive into this a little more same book and chapter  Luke 8 37-40 Is where we will be,  Point 1:rejection  V 37 The first thing I want to point out is the rejection they didn’t reject the man who was possed they rejected Jesus  Now when we talk to people about sharing their faith I get the same reaction I don’t like rejection  The thing is they are...

Today, I invite you to consider a well-known passage from a distinctive and personal perspective as we begin this series.  In Luke 8:34-36 This morning I want to tell you when there is change in you people, someo...

We would have nothing more than a social hour I dont know about you but i think its time the church has church again .We have sat back and got comfortable.

 I have a question that I want you to answer it to yourself and search your heart while I present the Gospel to you this morning What Do you Know? Know this very thing. Knowing Jesus is one of the most important decisions of our lives but it isn't just praying a prayer Its living a life holy surrender a life sold out to Jesus. It's not traditional church membership however that's im...

In this Chapter of Jeremiah we see a phrase here that we are going to pull from but first I want to give some context to this verse. The prophet Jeremiah received this message from God  in 608 B.C.E., during.  the reign of King Zedekiah. Jeremiah had foretold that Jerusalem would fall and that Zedekiah would be taken captive. Since the king did not like the message, he had Jeremiah taken into cust...

Colossians 2:1-7 . ( a. ) Having taken root; firmly implanted; fixed in the heart.

The pressing in. Luke 8:43-48 When we think of the woman with the issue of blood we are so quick to focus in on her Touching the hem of his Garment that we miss something. She had Done everything physically possible .She went to the doctors She did all she knew to do .But she knew if she could just get to the Border the wing of his Garment it would all be over. She didn’t think she wait she didn’t...

Fishing is unpredictable. There is no guarantee of reward. It requires patience and risk. In faith, the fishermen would throw their nets into the deep water, letting it sink into the lake out of sight, and hoping that the reward for their efforts would be a catch. And the end results would either be a good catch or maybe a no catch kindaDay. Christianity isn’t just a fishing story it’s a time of t...

Luke Chapter 14:26-29 Would it not be a shame that we would spend our whole lives facing the fact that we did not  count the cost of following Jesus? When we get to a certain point in our walk with Christ we realize that there are changes that have to be made. Following Christ and the Grace of Jesus Christ  demands change it requires change. Change will cost  you something.  See often times we hea...

We often times  we find ourselves on Journeys. And we get lost .So I want to share this with you this Today is this  we may momentarily live in a way that we thank is align with our wants and desire .

Psalm 63:1-8 This of course is a.  [[A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. In the wilderness David says I’ll seek you out lord my God When all seams to be going crazy When there’s a season of dryness When there is a season when you feel as if God doesn’t hear your prayers When there was no sight of help When there was no sight of water To drink  He says lord I will worship you...

Luke 16:19-31 paints a clear picture of the life after death it all falls back to a decision to either, accept or deny Jesus, it’s all a choice, free will is very real.  We want to hear from you. https://www.facebook.com/pastorTomcrandall1?mib...

Some say it is just speculation, But I’m here to tell you this morning that Jesus is alive and well. I talked to him this morning, I want you to know if you walked in this place this morning and there ain’t...

On the way Series, Is it over?  The moments after the Death of Jesus  We see here in Luke 23:56 we see the women who followed Jesus waited . They waited but yet prepared and on the sabbath rested . We see a group of people who clung to the Father and yet they  waited  Waiting is always the hard part of anything ,In our society we find ourselves seeking a instant solution or instant connection  And...

Luke 23:31-41  Last week we  talked about the Journey that Jesus took on the way to Calvary. This week I want us to focus on something a little more intense. While we are reading here I want us to understand that Jesus took not only the two men with him punishments  But he took ours, if we truly got what we deserved y’all then end result wouldn’t be Glory. Has he hung on that cross I want you to u...

Luke 23:26-32 In this Message Brother Tom draws our focus  To The Journey of Jesus to the hill called Calvary.   Pastor Tom Says this’ The Journey started in a small little town. And The path itself is less than a half-mile long, but it embodies some of the most vivid and wrenching images in the  Bible. It is the Way of the Cross, the path that Jesus walked while carrying his cross from Pontius Pi...

I want us to go to the Book of psalms chapter 25.. David in this chapter pleads out to God not only for forgiveness of past sins . He shows here that he wasn’t ashamed and admitted he was a sinner , And puts his attitude and his heart in such a place   that he says I’m hurting lord and I’m crying out to you. Not only does he admit and pleas for forgiveness he demonstrates by his words here that he...
