CrossHope Chapel Posted on July 20, 2019 by Pastor Steve DurkacJuly 20, 2019avatar

When we look at the Creation account in Genesis 1 we find nine times that the phrase “God said” is used to describe the creation process. You will also see that after the record declares that “God said” to whatever … Continue reading →

True Worshipers

CrossHope Chapel Posted on May 15, 2016 by Pastor Steve DurkacApril 2, 2017avatar

John 4:1-45 was a big chunk of teaching and afterwards I found myself wishing I had invested more time on Jesus’ words “true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth” (John 4:23, ESV). I have been feeling that … Continue reading →

Water to Wine

CrossHope Chapel Posted on April 4, 2016 by Pastor Steve DurkacApril 2, 2017avatar

I’m still thinking about John 2:1-12 and yesterday’s teaching time, because I’m taking comfort in knowing that Jesus turned water to wine. It’s amazing when you consider that Jesus created something out of nothing. He took impure water from an … Continue reading →

2 Thessalonians 2:3 & The Rapture

CrossHope Chapel Posted on April 2, 2016 by Pastor Steve DurkacApril 2, 2017avatar

Q: If the Anti-Christ is to be revealed first, before the church is raptured, wouldn’t that favor the post-tribulation position? A: My answer is No. In fact, the verse in question is 2 Thessalonians 2:3 and it actually builds a higher pile … Continue reading →

Muslims & Christian God?

CrossHope Chapel Posted on December 28, 2015 by Pastor Steve DurkacApril 2, 2017avatar

Do Muslims and Christians believe in the same God? No. The main difference is Jesus. Jesus is God, and is called the Son of God. Jesus is mentioned in the Koran, but only as a prophet, not as God. In the … Continue reading →

Why Evil?

CrossHope Chapel Posted on August 19, 2015 by Pastor Steve DurkacDecember 20, 2017avatar
