Wyoming Valley Church Sermon Podcast

Today Crossroads Church embarks on a new journey with a new leader at the helm. But, as we'll be reminded by our Lord Jesus, the main things must remain exactly the same. We will discover the value of being sheep of the Good Shepherd and how that perspective can change our lives, forever.

In a tumultuous world, we need peace. But on the Christian path, peace isn't enough; we need God's peace - the peace that changes our lives. We will discuss why this peace is crucial and how we can have it today and for the rest of our lives. We hope this would encourage your soul!

We all battle weariness in this life. But we have two amazing and powerful tools to help us when we do. These two tools are God-given and profound in NOT ONLY combating weariness, but finding the strength to overcome and finish our race. We hope you would be blessed by this message from God's Word!

We live in a world that is trying to soak up as much joy from the earth as they can. But Christians are a different breed. We choose the path of suffering and pain, and the reason for this is our Lurking Joy. We hope you will be blessed!

There are many things in this life that we do NOT want to get too close to, but there is One that being close to is EXACTLY where we should be. We will study the word "reconciliation" and discuss why being close to God changes our lives and changes our hope for eternity. We hope this blesses your soul!

Many of us make New Years Resolutions, and they vary based on who we are and the current season of life we're in. But what if the Church was called to have the SAME resolutions or purpose? It might surprise us to find out that we have. We will discuss both personal resolutions and resolutions for the Church, but BOTH are to be unified and realized TOGETHER. Many blessings!

What we know about the Christmas story, we know pretty well. But what we don't know may surprise us. Because as we'll learn, the night Jesus was born was anything but silent. We will study the spiritual opposition Jesus and His parents faced and how God overcame it, for His glory and our Salvation. Many blessings and Merry Christmas!

It's the Christmas season, and by now we're all familiar with the Christmas story. However, there are some very important details about the Christmas story that no one seems to talk about. The 5 questions we will answer today matter a great deal to Jesus being the Perfect Lamb of God AND our Salvation, and we will hopefully value our Lord Jesus more by knowing them. Many blessings!

In Part 2 of our story on "The Sacrifice", we see how the story of Abraham & Isaac parallels the Gospel story, but also has one massive difference between the two. And the difference is our Salvation and Hope. We will also be called to a sacrifice ourselves based on the truth of the Gospel. We hope this would be a blessing to you!

A sacrifice is something that we desire to keep that we decide to give up for someone that we love. In Part 1, we will look at the beginning of a classic story about a special father and a special son and what the father was called to do one day that changed the course of history for the ENTIRE world. We hope this blesses your soul!

In part 2 of the story of Noah's Ark, we discover there is a very similar story that involves us. And this Story is centered on a warning and a message of Hope. We will discuss why a storm is coming to us, how to prepare for it and who exactly is our Refuge from the storm. We hope this message would be a blessing to your soul!

Pastor Mel Walker reminds us of the classic biblical account of Noah's Ark and why specifically God chose Noah to accomplish His plan of starting the world over. What made Noah so special in God's eyes? The answers might surprise us, or might be a great reminder of what exactly God is looking for in us today. We hope this is a blessing to your soul!

In Part 2 of our series on the tragic story of "Cain and Abel", we discover what the antithesis is of Cain's choices, and that's selfless Love. We will see why Love is SO important for us as Christians, how it was born upon the earth and how exactly to show it to others. We hope this lesson would bless your soul today and allow you to walk in God's Truth. Many blessings!

Continuing our series "Our Journey TO Jesus", we take a look at the classic and tragic story of "Cain and Abel". This story teaches us so much about ourselves and how we tend to think and act. But the warning is a sharp one - Selfishness KILLS. We will also foreshadow the Birth of Love and our Lord Jesus as usual will change the paradigm forever! Many blessings to you!

As we studied last week, sin came into the world and caused a devastating blow upon mankind and this world. Satan certainly gained a great victory over the human race. But as we'll be reminded in this lesson, the war isn't over! Someone came at just the right time to turn the battle towards good once again, and this time, it will be for ALL ETERNITY. And we need to be on His team when He triumphs....

As we continue our series "Our Journey TO Jesus", we discuss how God's people broke the world by listening to the devil instead of listening to God. We will discuss many things, including how this happened and the consequences of it. But we will also foreshadow the Great Hope that was to come - that Jesus will save His people and Jesus will win! Many blessings to you!

Perhaps we know who created the world, and perhaps we still have a bit to learn. In this lesson, we will discuss our Creator, our Savior and our God and explain why HE ALONE deserves FULL Supremacy. We hope this blesses your soul!

We begin a brand new series called "Our Journey to Jesus", and we begin this new series at the beginning...of everything. It's VITALLY IMPORTANT to know how we got here and what our purpose is before we understand our need for Jesus. So today we will look at how we came to be and why that matters for our souls. Many blessings to you!

Every person and especially every Christ follower should have a healthy Fear of God. But what exactly is the Fear of God for? WHY should we fear God and what can it help us accomplish if we do? These are the questions we will explore this time. And we hope this lesson would greatly bless your soul!

We study an interaction between Jesus and the religious leaders of the day and discuss the confusion they had and many still have today about the Law of God. We will zoom out on what matters very little and zoom in on what matters greatly! We hope this blesses you!

We have countless fears and phobias in our world today, things that terrify us. But one Fear should rise above the rest. And this Primary Fear, if seen and believed can change our lives and help us overcome every other fear in this life. We will study and discuss what this fear is and why it's so important to our lives as Christians. Many blessings!

We know there is both Light and darkness upon this world. And Light is important to our lives as Christians. But how important is it? What does Light actually do for us and what happens if we don't take advantage of it? We'll discuss ALL things that pertain to God's Light and why we MUST live our lives in it. Many blessings to you!

It's hard to calculate how important prayer is in the Christian life. But HOW should we pray? Is there a right and a best way to pray? Thankfully our Lord Jesus gave us a LOT of helpful instruction on prayer and we discuss what that is and how to best utilize it. Pastor Mel Walker takes us through the Lord's Prayer in Luke 11. We hope this would bless your soul!

In part 2 of our series on "The Parable of the Good Samaritan, we discuss the important details and lessons we find in the parable and discover WHY and HOW we are to love our neighbors. The motivation behind it is the KEY to everything! We hope you would be blessed by this!

What does this life on earth offer us? Does it offer us EVERYTING we desire and need, or were we built and designed for something better, something eternal? We will discuss why Eternal Life is the ONLY possible thing that can satisfy our souls and how to therefore properly see this life on earth. Many blessings!
