I've long pondered how, as a small-town preacher, I could share the Gospel worldwide. Fortunately, dedicated volunteers and supporters stepped forward, saying, 'We want to help.' Together, we've achieved this goal, focusing not on fame or wealth, but on Jesus and leading people to the cross.My heart longs to see souls saved and prodigals return to Jesus, knowing the Gospel of Jesus is the most beautiful love story, guiding us in life and to the Father's presence.

Following Jesus 20:44

for 7 dage siden20:44

20:44

For years, we've heard people say, "Follow Jesus." But have we taken the time to understand what that really means? Following Jesus is more than just having a personal relationship or a close walk with him. It's more than just socializing with other believers on Sundays. To truly follow Jesus, we must be willing to wholeheartedly seek him and follow his purpose for our lives. We must also accept that our role is not just to pray and spend time with him, but to depend on him completely. The New Testament clearly instructs us to follow Jesus, but what about the Old Testament? While it doesn't explicitly say, "Follow Jesus," it does prophesy his coming. Interestingly, Jesus says, "Follow me," 21 times in the Bible. As we follow Jesus, we learn not only who he is but also who has called us to be. So, what does it mean to walk as he walked? We're empowered by the same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead. Send us a text https://www.facebook.com/pastorTomcrandall1?mibextid=LQQJ4d PastorTomCrandall@gmail.com…

Death Of The Flesh 23:25

for 14 dage siden23:25

23:25

Roman 8:10-13 The Death of The Flesh This morning I want to start by saying that the flesh is the biggest struggle we all face, whether it is our sinful nature or the most common thing that keeps us from being in tune with the Holy Spirit. I know we have been to the Book of Romans recently, but not these verses. There is a lot to unpack here, so let's dive in. The flesh is a deep connection to the sinful nature we are all born with. The Greek word for flesh, sarx, is often used to refer to human sinfulness. The flesh, in itself apart from the blood of Jesus, is wicked and vulnerable to the enemy. Let's look at these verses one by one. Verse 7 talks about being carnally minded. Verse 8 tells us that if we are in the flesh, we cannot please God. Verse 9 says that if we are not in the flesh but in the spirit, the spirit is in us, and if we don't have the spirit, we are none of His.

Peace and Understanding 25:45

for 21 dage siden25:45

25:45

I invite you to turn to John 14:27 in your Bibles with me. This morning's message, 'Rejoice in the Brokenness,' explores the concept of brokenness. It's not just about sin or feeling down; it's also about feeling distant from the Father. Jesus shared this with the disciples to prepare them for his departure, but they still weren't ready. We've been taught to give our problems to God, but we often take them back. Send us a text https://www.facebook.com/pastorTomcrandall1?mibextid=LQQJ4d PastorTomCrandall@gmail.com…

First Love 27:29

for 28 dage siden27:29

27:29

We've often heard "return to your first love." This morning, let's examine Revelation 2:4, which says, "Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love." This verse is key, and I also want us to read verse 5 for context. Jesus isn't saying our salvation will be taken away; let's be clear about that. The candlestick metaphor symbolizes the church's light and influence. God's warning shows his desire to restore his relationship with his people. Believers can renew their spiritual commitment by returning to their initial devotion and faith actions, avoiding the loss of God's guidance.

The Altar 23:22

for 5 weeks siden23:22

23:22

1 Kings 18:32/37 The altar was designed for sacrifice, a place of atonement where people once pleaded with God for mercy and forgiveness. Although it's no longer considered sacred or used in many places of worship, and isn't a religious place or site of religious ritual, in 1 Kings 18:32-38, we see unique events unfold. Elijah mocks the god of Baal, saying, 'Is he asleep or on a journey?' Then, he prays for fire. I invite you to join me in exploring this further. Elijah called the children of Israel to repent, but they rejected the opportunity. Today, I say that's what this altar is for. While it's true you don't have to go to the altar to do business with God, it's when you get up and feel God's hand resting upon you.

In This Time. 20:39

for 6 weeks siden20:39

20:39

In 2 Timothy 3:1-5, Paul warns young Timothy about the challenges he'll face. This passage is also very relevant to 2025. Let's reverence God's word. Verse 1 says dangerous times will come, and the word "perilous" means dangerous. We're definitely in those times. Social media has created instant gratification, causing people to love themselves and boast about the good they do while rarely giving glory to King Jesus.

Are You Hungry For God? 25:22

for 7 weeks siden25:22

25:22

Relatively speaking, when we ask if someone is hungry, the typical responses are 'yes' or 'no,' or even 'I'm starving.' But biblically speaking, I ask you this morning, are you hungry? When we browse the extensive menu at our favorite restaurant, everything appears appealing. However, this morning, there's only one option on the menu: Jesus. Please turn with me to Psalm 37:20-27. As we read these passages, I encourage you to read with your heart and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you deeper.

Un-Ashamed 28:23

for 8 weeks siden28:23

28:23

Last week, we discussed the importance of confessing. This week, we'll explore being unashamed. We've seen shirts, bracelets, and bumper stickers about being unashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. However, let's be frank - there's a big difference between being ashamed of the Gospel and being unashamed of being a Christian. People often say they're Christians and not ashamed, but how often do they share the message of salvation with others?

Talking To Jesus 24:22

for 9 weeks siden24:22

24:22

We often hear the word confess, but do we really understand what it means to confess? To confess to something means providing details. When it comes to confessing our sins, it's a different story. We tend to say things like, 'Lord, I'm a sinner, please forgive me.' However, true confession requires giving details. But doesn't the pastor already know our sins and see our faults? As Acts 3:19 says, 'Repent, then, and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped away.' Send us a text https://www.facebook.com/pastorTomcrandall1?mibextid=LQQJ4d PastorTomCrandall@gmail.com…

When Unity is Broken. 25:04

for 10 weeks siden25:04

25:04

This week Pastor Tom Takes us to Ephesians 4:2-13 And highlights the destructive nature of broken unity in churches, leading to division among believers. The negative impact of one person can be significant; imagine if they used their energy to spread the gospel. If you struggle to speak positively about your church or fellow worshippers, it's time to introspect and seek divine guidance. As believers, we must prioritize unity and avoid drama, focusing instead on maintaining peace. Verse 3 of Ephesians 4 emphasizes this importance.

Keep This in your Heart 14:46

for 11 weeks siden14:46

14:46

This time of year, we're reminded of the powerful lyrics of "Mary Did You Know." Though Mary was aware of her baby's divine nature, the full weight of his impact on the world was yet to be revealed. As we enter this special week, let's focus on the transformative power of Jesus' birth, life, and legacy. The manger, cross, and empty tomb represent the hope, redemption, and joy that Jesus brings to our lives. His birth is a profound reminder of God's love and the greatest gift humanity has ever received. May we, like Mary, cherish the truth of Jesus' sinless life, spotless nature, and divine purpose, and hold it deep within our hearts.

The Heart Of Giving. PT 3 The Perfect Gift. 18:26

for 12 weeks siden18:26

18:26

Matthew 7:9 “Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? We have navigated through forgiveness and disregarding the critic. This morning, I want to remind you that no matter what you're seeking during this time of year, whether it's peace amidst life's noise, or you're struggling to find your voice to cry out to the Father in your brokenness, recall John 6:35, where Jesus says, "I am the bread of life; he that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believes on me shall never thirst." For born-again believers, this serves as a reminder that we already have the perfect gift, knowing that Jesus went from the manger to the cross, to the tomb, and arose again on the third day.

The Heart Of Giving PT 2 The Critic 22:53

22:53

Luke chapter 13:10-17 Last week we talked about finding forgiveness. This week, we're going to talk about critics. I promise that by the end of this series, it will all come together to make a beautiful picture. Everywhere you've been, whether it's restaurants or movies, has had a critic. Today, we call them reviewers.Now the text that we are looking at is something I want to point out to you is that Jesus went To Church. And he is Here this morning because I invited him myself I didn’t depend on anyone else to do it I did it. Not saying y’all didn’t invite him as well but I can’t depend on y’all to plan my walk with King Jesus Send us a text https://www.facebook.com/pastorTomcrandall1?mibextid=LQQJ4d PastorTomCrandall@gmail.com…

The Heart of Giving (Series) 18:39

for 14 weeks siden18:39

18:39

Over the years, we discuss this time of year as being the season of giving. While looking at Luke 6:38, it says something amazing. Let's take a look. The first part of this verse says, "Give, and it shall be given unto you." There's something about this time of year that makes us spend time looking for the perfect gift. Often, we need to be reconciled in our relationships. So, there's an order to this concept: we have to give in order to receive. We are given forgiveness by the precious blood of Jesus. So, we need to understand that the first word is "Give." I'm often asked the same question: how can I find forgiveness?
