Spiritual Gifts and The Body of Christ Dr. Joelle Hathaway Our own Dr. Joelle Hathaway, Assistant Professor of Theological Studies at Bethany Theological Seminary, joined us as our last guest preacher for the summer. It’s been good to hear new voices and to share different perspectives, like hers, while Pastor Cogan was away for his family leave the last few months.
A Jerk Like Jesus Pastor Mark Havel Matthew 15:21-28 Jesus left that place and went to the district of Tyre and Sidon. Just then, a Canaanite woman from that region came to him and cried out, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David! My daughter is tormented by a demon.” Jesus didn’t answer her at all. His disciples said to him, “Send her away from here. She keeps shouting after us.” Jesus replied,…
Kingdom Potential Pastor Scott Nellis We were fortunate to have Pastor Scott Nellis join us - all the way from the great state of Ohio - for worship this weekend. Scott began his ministry at Cross of Grace and felt called to ordination while here. It was good to hear where he’s been, what he’s been up to, and how he’s serving God’s church in the world as he tries to live up to and into the…
YOU Give Them Something to Eat Pastor Mark Havel Matthew 14:13-21 Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns. When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them and cured their sick. When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, ‘This is a…
Change and Grace Pastor Dan Forehand We were fortunate to welcome Pastor Dan Forehand, Assistant to the Bishop for Emerging Ministers and Ministries, in the Indiana-Kentucky Synod, to our pulpit. Dan is also a Partner in Mission at Cross of Grace and it is a blessing to hear from different voices over the course of the summer while Pastor Cogan is away on Family Leave.
Weeds, Wheat, God's Work and Ours Pastor Mark Havel Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 [Jesus] put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven may compared to somebody who sowed good seed in his field, but while everybody was asleep an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away, so that when the plants grew and put forth grain, the weeds appeared as well. So the slaves said to the…
Still Sowing After All These Years Pastor Teri Ditslear We are blessed to have a series of guest preachers join us this summer to share sermons while Pastor Cogan is away on family leave. This is a great way to hear from a variety of voices while we have the opportunity. It’s also a meaningful way to give Pastor Mark a break from doing all of the preaching, all of the time. This Sunday’s guest was…
Unburdened for Mission Pastor Mark Havel Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30 [Jesus said,] “But to what shall I compare this generation? They are like children in the market places, calling, ‘We played he flute for you and you would not dance. We wailed and you did not mourn.’ For John came neither eating nor drinking and they said, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking and they said,…
Cool Water and K.I.S.S. Evangelism Pastor Mark Havel Matthew 10:40-42 [Jesus said,] “Whoever welcomes you welcomes me and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. Whoever welcomes a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. Whoever welcomes a righteous person in the name of a righteous person shall receive the reward of the righteous. And whoever gives even a cup…
Like Father, Like Son Pastor Mark Havel Matthew 10:24-39 “A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a slave above the master; it is enough for the disciple to be like the teacher, and the slave like the master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household! “So have no fear of them; for nothing is covered up that will not be uncovered,…
"Going to Jesus" Pastor Kirk Havel We are blessed to have a series of guest preachers join us this summer to share sermons while Pastor Cogan is away on family leave. This is a great way to hear from a variety of voices while we have the opportunity. It’s also a meaningful way to give Pastor Mark a break from doing all of the preaching, all of the time. Pastor Kirk Havel, Pastor Mark’s father, was…
