Don’t Lose Heart

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on January 6, 2021 by Steve DurkacJanuary 6, 2021avatar

The disciples had lost their confidence that their Master was going to rise to prominence in the land, and that meant their hope of being exulted with Him was fading. Jesus was talking about dying, and within a few days He would. The mood among the band of followers was turning grim. The opposition of the pharisees and the elite class seemed to have gained a following of their own against the One who claimed to be the Messiah. This … 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 →

The End is Near

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on October 15, 2019 by Steve DurkacAugust 13, 2020avatar

The marque sign outside of the United Methodist Church in Tuscaloosa, Alabama read: The End is Near!! Just Kidding We Don’t Know. That signed humored me because in my understanding of Christianity, the only way a church would not know that the end is near is if it does not open, read, or teach the Bible. The theme of the end as near is a very prominent one in the Bible, especially the New Testament, so it is simply fake … Continue reading →

10 Effects of Sin in Genesis 3

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on September 8, 2019 by Steve DurkacAugust 17, 2020avatar

This morning at CrossHope Chapel as we looked at Genesis 3, I had mentioned that I didn’t cover something that I had noted to bring out in our study discussion, and that was 10 effects of sin on humanity specifically mentioned in this chapter. So, here are 10 Effects of Sin in Genesis 3: Sin caused separation between Christ and Man. (Genesis 3:8) Sin brought fear into our lives. (Genesis 3:10) Sin brought shame into our lives. (Genesis 3:10) Sin … Continue reading →

Globalism? Maranatha!

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on January 15, 2019 by Steve DurkacAugust 13, 2020avatar

The early followers of Jesus, who faced trials, persecution, and uncertainty about their future, took heart encouraging one another with an Aramaic greeting, “Maranatha!“ Maranatha means “the Lord is coming!” or “come, Lord Jesus” as in Revelation 22:20 “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!” (ESV). At CrossHope Chapel Bible Church we share in the encouragement of knowing the Lord is coming back, especially as current events remind us that our “redemption is drawing near“ (Luke 21:28). I recently viewed an hour … Continue reading →

The Return of Christ

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on February 16, 2017 by Steve DurkacAugust 13, 2020avatar

What should be our attitude toward the return of Jesus and our rapture from the wrath of earth’s judgement? Well here are five Bible verses and my thoughts about that… 1 Thessalonians 1:10 – We are to eagerly be waiting and looking for our Lord’s return. As a child I remember days of anticipation in our house as my mom and my siblings waited for my dad to arrive home from work so we could all pile up the station wagon … Continue reading →
