The hope we have during Advent season (and all the time) is knowing that God is with us. Pastor Micah preaches at King's Cross Church.
The peace we have during Advent (and all the time) is rooted in our identity in Christ. Pastor Micah preaches at King's Cross Church.
The love we receive from Christ will be fully experienced at His second advent. Pastor Micah preaches at King's Cross Church.
This great Christmas verse should be understood as connected to the prophecy of the virgin birth and helps to confirm the New Testament's insistence that Jesus is the child who was born of virgin to save us and our pitiful world.But this is no mere spiritual reality; it is the ground of our confidence that Christ's government and peace will increase until all of His enemies have been put beneath His feet. The One who was born in Bethlehem is the King of this world.The Text: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this” (Is. 9:6-7).King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

The doctrine of the virgin birth is one of the key doctrines of the Christian faith. Chesterton says that the Creed is like a key that unlocks the world, and as with any key, every ridge and angle matters. The virgin birth is not merely “another cool miracle,” like the healings of blind men or walking on water. The virgin birth is central to our salvation.The Text: “…Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us…” (Mt. 1:18-25)King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

As we begin this Advent season preparing for Christmas, the plan is to look at five Old Testament prophecies that were fulfilled in the birth of Jesus Christ.This week we look at Jacob's blessing of his son Judah (sometime around 2000 B.C.), foretelling that God would raise up kings in the tribe of Judah, until all people have been gathered before one king of Judah.The Text: “The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be” (Gen. 49:8-12).King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

In the first century just after Jesus ascended into heaven, the unbelieving Jews murdered Stephen, and Saul of Tarsus was breathing threats against the Christians in every city. The temptation to go dark was great. The Christians were hated, lied about, and mistreated. It would have felt very justified to bitterly hate those Jewish zealots (and their Roman collaborators), and to have done so would be to join their carnal, devilish ways.But God has determined to conquer this dark world with His grace. That means mercy for the wicked. God justifies the ungodly. God's plan was to save the leader of that violence and evil. True grace has a backbone, but it is a radical, humiliating grace. This is the wisdom of God and the ground of all Christian gratitude.The Text: “From whence come wars and fightings among you? Come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain…” (Js. 4:1-10)King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

We live in the ruins of a great civilization that was built in many ways by faithful men and women, who kept their marriage vows. Nevertheless in fallen world, sin will wreak havoc, and we need to know what to do when sin happens. The fundamental duty is confession of sin and forgiveness, but marriage is a public covenant and therefore sometimes there are public ramifications for certain sins.The Text: “The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?...” (Mt. 19:3-9)King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

In Colonial America it was common for sermons to be preached around elections reminding God's people of the biblical duties of magistrates, citizens, and the biblical blueprint for civil government.Today's message is focused on the duty of citizens to be a certain kind of people, and for men in particular to practice being dangerously good.The Text: “… Then said he unto them, ‘But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one…” (Lk. 22:35-38)King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

After salvation, the choice of who you marry will likely be the next most significant decision in your life. Marriage is a nuclear reactor – where new immortal souls are being brought into existence, and therefore it is good and right to guard its formation carefully.This law concerning vows applies in a number of different directions, but since marriage includes covenant vows, it certainly applies there.The Text: “…If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her youth; And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand…” (Num. 30:1-5).King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

The Resurrection is the defining point of history, affecting all of creation and resulting in our promised resurrection. Pastor Micah preaches at King's Cross Church.
The work of Christ must be proclaimed to all nations! Pastor Micah preaches at King's Cross Church.
God, in His infinite wisdom, made men and women different. These differences inform our roles and duties, especially in marriage, where they complement each other. Scripture clearly teaches that wives are to submit to their husbands (Eph. 5:22, Col. 3:18). This call to submission is not demeaning or oppressive, but is a genuine glory and a necessary part of a thriving marriage and family.

While we reject all “health and wealth gospels,” as though Jesus were a mechanical vending machine for worldly wealth and power, we fully affirm the personal and covenantal nature of the world, which includes blessings and curses both in this life and in the life to come (Mk. 10:29-30).Sometimes God sends hardships to His people for their sanctification, and those hardships are working for us an “exceeding and eternal weight of glory” (2 Cor. 4:17). Sometimes He gives the wicked great wealth, yet without His blessing, they do not have ability to truly enjoy it (Eccl. 5:19-6:3). However, sometimes God's people turn to idols and become debt slaves and are taken out of the fight, but we are called to freedom and dominion.The Text: “…The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them. And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.” (Dt. 28:1-14).King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

Liberty is not the freedom to do whatever you want. Humanistic lusts always end in tyranny, slavery, and destruction. Liberty is the freedom to obey God, to live according to His law under His blessing. Liberty is doing what you were made for.Therefore, the foundational governments that God has established of family, church, and state are the foundational checks and balances that limit human tyranny and truly set men free.The Text: “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation” (Rom. 13:1-2).King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

Many Christians say they prefer smaller churches, and in God's providence, there are many smaller, thriving churches. But it's worth checking your preferences against God's word. Are your preferences aligned with biblical priorities? Or are you making your preferences into biblical priorities?Our church and community have grown significantly over the last few years, and while it is understandable to miss seeing certain friends, we want to make sure that we are processing this growth like believing Christians. So this is a message on big church blessings.The Texts: “And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness” (Gen. 15:5-6)“For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls” (Acts 2:39-41).“After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; and cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb” (Rev. 7:9-10).King's Cross Church is a member congregation of the CREC in Moscow, ID.

In this episode of Knowledgecast, Jack has a conversation with Tim Cash, lead pastor of The Cross Church in Loganville, GA. Before stepping into ministry, Tim spent years as a professional baseball player with the Houston Astros and LA Dodgers, followed by over two decades discipling athletes and leaders through Unlimited Potential, Inc.Tim shares stories from the ballfield—striking out Bo Jackson, dropping the ball on his very first pitch—and how those moments became metaphors for life. He reflects on mentoring figures like John Smoltz, Terry Pendleton, and Jeff Foxworthy, and why he ultimately left sports ministry to shepherd a local church.Together, Jack and Tim explore the four questions that shape every worldview (origin, meaning, morality, destiny), the four longings of the human heart (love, acceptance, worth, and significance/security), and the dangers of comparison in leadership. Tim reminds us that “we were born originals—don't die a copy.” This is a powerful conversation on identity, calling, and why true success isn't measured by applause, but by character and faith.

Join Us for Worship: Sundays at 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM https://www.flourishinggrace.org/plan-your-visit In Luke 12:22–34, Jesus speaks directly to one of the most pressing struggles of our time: anxiety. His words are not distant, theoretical, or dismissive. They are intimate, practical, and filled with the promise of God's care. Pastor Brent Van Sickle, from King's Cross Church, reminds us that our Savior does not ignore the burdens we carry. He understands the weight of our worry and calls us to lift our eyes beyond ourselves and place our trust in the Father who delights to give us His kingdom. Jesus points to ravens and lilies—ordinary parts of creation—to show how much more valuable His people are in the Father's sight. If God feeds the birds and clothes the grass of the field, how much more will He provide for His children? Anxiety, He explains, is unproductive, wasted energy, and misplaced effort because it flows from the world's mindset of scarcity and self-dependence. Instead, He calls us to seek His kingdom first, knowing that all these things will be added to us. This passage is not a command to “stop worrying” and then be left alone to wrestle in silence. Instead, it is an invitation to see the character of a God who is not distant but near, who names His people “little flock” and promises His good pleasure is to give us the kingdom. It is a reminder that trust is formed not in striving for control, but in surrendering to the shepherd who leads His sheep to green pastures. Pastor Brent shares how anxiety is not only a mental or emotional struggle but also one that impacts our entire being—our health, our relationships, our ability to live on mission. Yet Jesus offers a way forward: turning our eyes from fear to faith, from possessions to generosity, and from scarcity to abundance in Him. True freedom from worry comes not by clinging tighter to control but by releasing it to the One who holds our lives in His hands. This message also reminds us that generosity is a pathway away from anxiety. Jesus teaches that where our treasure is, there our hearts will be also. When we cling to our possessions, worry only multiplies. But when we hold our resources with open hands and invest in the kingdom of God, we experience the peace that comes from aligning our hearts with His purposes. At its core, Luke 12:22–34 reveals a God who is a Father, a Shepherd, and a King—who cares deeply, provides faithfully, and delights to give His children what they truly need. Whether you are weighed down by financial pressures, fearful about the future, or burdened by personal struggles, Jesus' words offer hope: fear not, for your Father knows you, sees you, and will never leave you without His care. So, the invitation is clear: lay down your anxieties, seek first His kingdom, and trust the God who delights to give. The question remains: where is your treasure, and where is your heart? Will you trust Jesus with your life today?

This past Sunday, I had the privilege and responsibility of preaching at Cross Church Springdale and Pinnacle Hills, two of our three current campuses in Northwest Arkansas. In 2026, we will open our fourth campus in Farmington, Arkansas, near Fayetteville. On Sunday, July 13, I will be preaching at our Cross Church Fayetteville Campus. Some of you may not know this, but I pastored Cross Church for almost thirty-three years, until God called me to Nashville in mid-2019. After spending three years in Nashville serving and providing leadership for the Southern Baptist Convention, we returned to Northwest Arkansas and based ourselves here to continue doing ministry until the Lord directs our next step in a new way. Whatever God does with us, we give him praise and glory. Preaching this past Sunday at Cross Church Springdale and Pinnacle Hills Campuses, I was reminded of the mighty work God has been doing and continues to do among and through the Cross Church people. What a church! Yesterday, we witnessed people coming to Jesus Christ, including some adults. I had the privilege after the services, while greeting people as they left, to lead a 30-year-old man to Jesus Christ. He had never been in a church before. He came seeking, and I could tell he was searching. Within minutes, he was giving his life to Jesus Christ. He was so ready to meet Christ, and God entered his life. With people all around, God accomplished a major work in this man's life. Jeana and I remained in that area of our incredible campus until 1:05 PM, about fifty minutes after the final worship service ended. We met and greeted many people, which is what we love to do because God consistently opens doors for ministry and sometimes for evangelism, which we experienced yesterday as well. Praise to God.
