CrossWords MinistryThe Servant of the LordWhen Jesus came to earth, He came as a servant. He was a servant who would suffer and die for our redemption, as Isaiah clearly predicted (Isaiah 52:13-53:12; Mark 10:45). Even after His resurrection and ascension to heaven, Jesus still serves those who are His. Hebrews 7:25 says that Christ lives to intercede for us. We need to follow our Master’s example, no matter how lacking in glamour it may seem. Just Jesus has taught us, the road to greatness is the road to servitude (Mt 23:11-12).

Jesus gives us clues about our partnership with Him by using agricultural metaphors to help us understand the process of making kingdom citizens.

CrossWords MinistryBecoming Like Christ - Laziness Idleness and DisciplineChristianity is not a lazy man’s religion. Laziness never produces success, especially within the kingdom of God. It only produces destruction, despair, and negativity--both in the spiritual and the physical realm. A sluggard has no place in the kingdom of God. For God calls laborers to work His vineyard. Christ was not a man of slothfulness. Neither were His apostles.

CrossWords MinistryHindrance to Your Progress - The HeartThe muscle known as the heart is considered to be the center of physical life. It is the focus of all the vital functions of the body. However, in the figurative sense, the heart has come to be known as the center of a person’s mental (intellectual and emotional) and spiritual life. It describes the person as a whole. In biblical language, the heart is closely connected to 7 aspects that make us human beings. Taking all this into consideration, it is important for us to know the nature of the heart. The Bible clearly teaches that the heart is...

CrossWords MinistryNew Testament Worshippers"Worship" sounds like a religious word. The truth is, atheists and agnostics also worship. Man is a creature built to worship. The things is, unless you do it in Spirit and in Truth, as Jesus says in John 4:24, your worship is in vain. Vain worship ends in bitterness, lack of peace, heightened worldly passions, and leaving you totally defeated. Jesus came to testify to the truth (John 18:37) to save you from yourself and from the evil influences around you.

CrossWords MinistryRelationships With One AnotherAll human beings are of the same family. Prejudice and entitlement tend to come from minds that reject this truth, that see us as evolved animals instead of creatures made in love and to love by a God who is LOVE. Without involving God, people grow to take care of themselves. It is a kind of "survival of the fittest" mentality we see expressed in God's creation. Although God may have put that instinct in animals, He surely made us to be different from them. He called us to form part of a family that transcends this earthly existence.

CrossWords MinistryIntimacy with God - Speaking to GodBeing in the Spirit
God wants intimacy with us just like any parent would like to have with their children. In order for intimacy to happen, those involved need to be willing to surrender to each other, to “give themselves up” in order to value the interests of the others. God showed us His willingness and desire to do this by having Jesus die for us while we were still His enemies (Rom 5:6-9). Now He calls us to die to self to be “in the spirit” in order to pursue intimacy with Him. In this lesson, we will...

CrossWords MinistrySmall But MightyBig Mindedness vs Small Mindedness
One of the ideas that permeate in our society is the idea that unless we've done something significantly recognizable, we are no one important, with insignificant influence. We will examine Miriam, Moses' sister, in this lesson, to see how a small, courageous act resulted in the salvation of a nation and mighty acts of God that still reverberate throughout human history.

CrossWords MinistryGod's Kindness Offers ReliefGod's Kindness offers relief when you feel you're stuck in a situation beyond your control. God's kindness helps you prevent "herd mentality". God's kindness helps you see yourself as God sees you, not as you see you or how you think others see you. God's kindness helps you wait and be patient. God's kindness often comes from other people whom you least expect. That's God's way of putting a smile on your face every day you look to Him. Let's study this kindness in Titus 2:11-14.

CrossWords MinistryOvercoming GiantsGod sent Goliath to the Israelite camp in 1 Samuel 17. The Israelites thought Goliath was there to stop them. David knew it was to glorify God. David didn't look to what he didn't have to overcome this giant. David trusted God had given him all he needed. As a shepherd, he knew any obstacle he encountered, like a lion or a bear, was not there to stop him but to strengthen his faith and his love for God. David's character shows us the template needed to defeat any seeming giant in our lives today.

Pandemic, social distancing, quarantine, face masks… all seem to be new vocabulary words for this current age, and who knows, words we will be using much more frequently from now on. But are they really new? Is the practice of social distancing something we invented now?

Before any other culture or peoples observed sanitary practices, Israel was given the "in" on it by God Himself, proving, once again, that the Bi...

CrossWords Ministry7 Minutes of Wisdom on Preparing Your Child for AdulthoodWhat gets in the way of proper adulting? The Heart. We confuse our "yes's" and our "no's". We lose integrity because we get too proud and manipulated by our passions. As parents we need to teach our children the difference between "yes" and "no" before they turn 1. We need to teach them to say "yes" and "no" with conviction and respect others when they say "yes" and "no". With this training we teach them to make correct choices and work as a team with others who may have differing opinions. All this promotes confidence and trust in God.

Accepting our human vulnerabilities is a major lesson Jesus illustrates with His life.
