Description
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.

Luke 15:16-17 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! We look at the prodigal son and instantly think of how he came back to his father. But I want to point out he didn’t get cleaned up after eating slop. How do we know? The Bible never mentions it. He didn’t prepare an excuse for leaving; ...
I remember as a child, my mother would listen to the radio constantly. And many times I would find comfort in the songs that played; they became a therapy for me. And there would be times where the antenna would have to be adjusted. And just like us, sometimes we get out of tune with the Father and the Holy Spirit, and we have to be retuned so we can be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. But we grieve. We find ourselves grieving and missing the portion that God has for us. Psalms 73:26 says, 'My f...
Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. Over the years, we have had a great divide among us, not just spiritually, but also in the flesh. But we have many who have been a part of the church, worked in the church, and in this realm, we couldn't do it without you. But I also want to bring this to your mind: we are not just a Sunday family. So many of you fill in the gaps for others with phone calls and daily check-ins. I often compliment on how ti...
We see that Jesus cries out and says, "Father, not my will be done, but yours." Now we have to understand that Jesus cries out of anguish and discomfort, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. How can we say that? Well, he was God in the flesh, understand, he was the Son of God in the flesh. So let me ask this: Have you ever hurt so bad, been under so much agony that you sweat drops as if it was blood? And that you cried out and said, "Father, not my will but yours be done"? I can’t do thi...
Finding Jesus Luke 2:41-52 This week's events were not political. They were not fueled by motives of political propaganda. It was fueled by evil and pure demonic. We can articulate that it was because of politics, but let's be real, it wasn't. It was because the gospel was preached, and if you say it was political, you need to examine your own heart because you have missed it. I'm not big on public figures, and you all know this. But there is no doubt in my heart and in my mind that he was sh...
We are a society of hurrying and getting things done. There as been times where maybe you’ve been getting ready to go on a trip and you’ve forgotten so many things that you have to go Back to the house and get the things you forgot. See we often find ourselves doing things that cause us to Go Back So this morning I want to say let’s go back Let’s go back to the basics let’s go back to when we knew if we could just get everything we knew we had to have. We have to go back But this morning I sa...
Hosea 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and rain righteousness upon you The meaning of Fallow Ground. Land Left unplowed uncultivated for a Season to allow it to rest And when it rest things grow in It that’s just natural. Jesus says in Matthew 13:7 that some of the seed fell among thorns and the thorns grew up and choked the seed out. Many times in life we are hearing th...
The moment that we can live out side the will of God for our lives and it not phase us. Or even call us to repentance something is wrong When we are no longer sensitive to the voice of the father calling us back When he says it’s his grace his mercy that calls us back to him He is the voice in the wilderness calling out to us by name The conviction of the Lord shows the intimate relationship and connection we have with him It’s not a design to make you feel...
The purpose and power of praise and worship Glorifies God: "Whoever offers praise glorifies Me," Psalm 50:23.Invites God's Presence: God "inhabits the praises of His people".Spiritual Warfare: Praise is a weapon against the enemy, causing confusion and releasing God's power to fight on our behalf.Accelerates Prayer Answers: Praise can accelerate answers to prayer.Encourages Miracles and Wins Battles: The example of Paul and Silas in prison in Acts 16 shows how their praise led to a supernatur...
One of the first sayings I heard when I became a Christian was that God is faithful. We sang about the faithfulness of God. Whenever someone would endure a trial, we’d remind them that God is faithful. Faithfulness is a characteristic of God that is often talked about, but I wonder if it’s completely understood. Because we are always communicating about God’s faithfulness in the affirmative—God is faithful—I thought it would be helpful to examine faithfulness from a different perspective: wha...
1 Samuel 16:7 Here's a breakdown of the verse's meaning: "Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature": This refers to not judging someone based on their physical appearance, such as their face or height. "for the LORD seeth not as man seeth": This highlights the difference between God's perspective and human perspective. Humans are ea...
In the moral sphere, every act of justice or charity involves putting ourselves in the other person's place and thus transcending our own competitive particularity. C. S. Lewis The alarming number of children in danger right here in the Southern states is alarming. Around the globe, an estimated 27 million people are exploited for labor, services,. Through force, fraud, and coercion, they are made to toil in fields and factories, in restaurants and residences. Traffickers prey o...
This morning, I ask you: will you go? In Isaiah 6:1-8, the prophet Isaiah begins his ministry after the Lord asks, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" Isaiah responds, "Here am I; send me." However, he then acknowledges his sinful nature, saying, "Woe unto me for I am a man of unclean lips." This realization breaks him, just as it did Job and Peter when they encountered God. We all sin, but God's grace, mercy, and love redeem us. So I ask, will you go? In order To Ask About Ava...
Walk By Faith 2 Corinthians 5:6-8 Paul's outline highlights the significance of trusting Christ and the eternal hope we have in Jesus. He provides valuable insights in this verse. (Read) Although 'walk by faith and not by sight' is a familiar concept, it can be scary and frustrating. Let's analyze the true meaning of faith. It means trusting God completely or having a strong belief based on spiritual understanding rather than proof. As humans, we want proof, making it hard to walk by faith...
‼️NEW SEASON‼️ Pastor Tom Crandall©️ Loving People To The Cross®️ This week, the Lord gave me instructions, as He does every week. His message was simple: feed my sheep. As I thought and prayed, I realized many are facing trials. He brought this message to me, and it flourished into something amazing. Today, I want to share this with you: your struggles are a message, your tests are a testimony, and the race isn’t over yet - keep running. Many are hanging by a thread, unsure if it’s attached ...
God's highest expression of love and kindness towards mankind is rooted in His eternal plan of redemption. Christ was appointed by the Father to fulfil His plan of salvation, and to secure it by the sacrifice of His righteous life through the spilling of His holy blood on Calvary's Tree. The Son of the Father came to earth as the sacrifice for sin because of God's great loving-kindness, His sweet tender-compassion, and His eternal goodness, grace, and mercy, toward the children of men. God t...
First i want to say this I love you all and if the shoe fits kick it off it’s not our shoe to wear. Over the years I often hear this well my opinion is this and I believe what this really mean is this.And I was listening to this preacher and he said! Stop taking everyone’s opinion and calling it the truth of the word of God. Start diving in and seeking Gods face get in tune with the Holy Spirit and Read your bible. This is the most Damaging thing among the body of Christ.The Division we face ...
Do They Want what You Have? James 2:14-24 Over the years I have heard and seen a lot of people whom are lost without Jesus and whom all say about the same. If those people go to church and act the way they do I don’t want no part of it. See in order to be a effective witness for Jesus we must walk and talk the life we claim we live on Sundays Church isn’t the only time we are to act as Christians Dads I have a question one I had to ask my self Does our family’s want what we have Do ...
As I began my day this morning, I took a moment to ponder the direction of my life. I asked myself: what am I striving for? Is my heart set on the fleeting pleasures of this world, or am I seeking a more meaningful connection with God? I am confident that when we prioritize our faith and align our pursuits with God's will, it will transform our lives and our relationship with Christ. We will experience a sense of freedom and joy that comes from living a life that is pleasing to God, and we wi...
The burden is heavy; it's uncomfortable. The pain and hurt you feel are real. The doubt in your mind that you'll never be good enough, and the voice that tells you that you're worthless, are all from the Enemy. I want you to listen this morning, if you never listen to anything else I say. For years, I carried the weight of things I couldn't change - the bridges I couldn't unburn, if you will. This morning, many of you are sitting here dealing with the same thing. I want you to take a minute, ...
