Not Returning to Church After COVID-19?

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on July 29, 2020 by Steve DurkacJuly 30, 2020avatar

I have had at least three conversations in the past two weeks with individuals who have told me that when their church goes back to regular in-person worship services, they will not. All three of these people were from different congregations representing Southern Baptist, Pentecostal, and Nondenominational but all three cited a similar reason as to why they are not planning on returning their church. All three agreed that they are happy watching their pastor’s sermon online and that they … Continue reading →

Virus Fear and Our Want Of Safety

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on July 16, 2020 by Steve DurkacAugust 13, 2020avatar

A few months ago I was of the opinion that the COVID-19 pandemic was going to subside come summer, but today I am thinking differently. We are half way through July and the COVID culture is ramping up its influence upon our lives. The media is obsessed with reporting cases, exploiting stories of its spread, and contradicting medical professionals who dare to tear apart the narrative of the political opportunists. There is a growing sense of fear for a want … Continue reading →

Will COVID-19 Change American Church?

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on April 6, 2020 by Steve DurkacApril 6, 2020avatar

The COVID-19 crises is changing the ways we do life in America, and it is yet to be seen how much of those normal ways of doing life will return. I suspect a good deal of what was normal a few months ago will come back, but I also suspect a lot will not. I also suspect that it won’t return to feeling the same. I am not convinced that on the other side of this crises we’ll be dancing … Continue reading →

Revelation: Shortly Come to Pass?

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on March 31, 2020 by Steve DurkacAugust 13, 2020avatar

The book of Revelation spells out some details of the end time events that the Old Testament prophets proclaimed. What is interesting to me — in light of our current coronavirus crises —is the use of the phrase “shortly come to pass” used in it’s opening verse. Revelation 1:1 gives this introduction, “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it … Continue reading →

1 Samuel 17:11 and Fear in the Camp?

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on March 19, 2020 by Steve DurkacOctober 14, 2020avatar

You are familiar with the story of David and Goliath and today I want to point out the little known similarity to that account and our current coronovirus pandemic. It begins in 1 Samuel 17:11 where the Scriptures records that “Saul and all Israel…were dismayed, and greatly afraid.” The army of Israel and their King, Saul, were in fear over one soldier. For 40 days this pagan warrior intimidated God’s chosen because they were fixated on Goliath, not on their … Continue reading →

2 Timothy 1:7 and Spirit of Fear

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on March 18, 2020 by Steve DurkacAugust 13, 2020avatar

The Apostle Paul wrote these words to a fearful Timothy, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). I say fearful because Timothy was a young pastor who was dealing with some lack of confidence issues, criticism because his father was a Gentile, plus he had some false teachers stirring up trouble among the flock, and one could also deduce that he had struggles … Continue reading →

Coronavirus: Week One at CrossHope Chapel

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on March 17, 2020 by Steve DurkacMarch 17, 2020avatar

I know it’s not week one for the coronovirus, in fact I’ve read a lot of reports that this coronovirus was being detected in American physician offices as early as last February 2019. It’s kind of week one for us at CrossHope Chapel because it is new this week in affected us and our regular routines. Steph and I are back home and we had an enjoyable weekend at the beach where everyone went about their activities seemingly unaffected by … Continue reading →
