How to Care for Your Spirit

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on June 1, 2023 by Steve DurkacJune 1, 2023

Today, we recognize the whole person as having three interactive dimensions of body, mind, and spirit. We care for the body through proper nutrition and exercise. We care for the mind through similar efforts that help keep us grounded in reality and social behavior. But what about the spirit? How do we care for our spirit? Well, it is the … Continue reading →

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on December 23, 2019 by Steve DurkacDecember 23, 2019

The Word of God is the foundation upon which the church operates and is the basis for which the church is governed, and here is a listing of what the Bible is…   Breathed out by God – 2 Timothy 3:16 Given by inspiration of the Holy Spirit – Acts 1:16; Hebrews 3:7; 2 Peter 1:21 Christ sanctioned – Matthew … Continue reading →

Meanwhile, Back At CrossHope Chapel

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on February 16, 2019 by Steve DurkacFebruary 16, 2019

In the morning, thousands of people will wake up and get ready to attend a church of their choice. Some will put on their best clothing, some will happily re-wear something from the day before, and some will be more concerned over their toddlers and children keeping their cloths clean at least until they are checked into their Sunday School … Continue reading →

2018 in Scripture

I wanted to share a thought with you about where we have been in 2018, as a church in the Scriptures. We have been in 3 John, 1 Corinthians, and 2 Corinthians. We have systematically and intentionally journeyed through 3 books of the Bible, a total of 30 chapters, and 2 writers…which is not a whole lot in the big … Continue reading →

More on Today’s Church

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on September 4, 2018 by Steve DurkacSeptember 4, 2018

A few weeks ago I posted on 2 Corinthians & God’s Word and got into a bit of a rant on my observations on the waywardness of today’s church with a trend away from preaching from the Bible. You can read about that at https://www.crosshopechapel.org/2-corinthians-gods-word/. Sunday I shared about a comment in our pastors’ Facebook Group from a new minister who … Continue reading →

2 Corinthians & God’s Word

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on August 13, 2018 by Steve DurkacAugust 13, 2018

Sunday was a good day in fellowship. It amazes me how God shows up even when we are few. That is the promise of Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them” (ESV), isn’t it? We finished our study through 1 Corinthians and next week we will be starting our study through 2 … Continue reading →

Why Watch for Prophecy?

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on July 5, 2018 by Steve DurkacJuly 5, 2018

I realize that some Christians don’t get very excited when it comes to sermons about the end-time events, books about tribulation timelines, or even Bible Prophecy Conferences. However, there are biblical reasons to watch and recognize the signs of our times, and I want to share with you seven of those reasons here: First, in Luke 21:25-28 Jesus makes mention … Continue reading →

3 Scriptures for Adoptees

I am an adoptee, and you can read my personal testimony to learn how that impacted my conversion and sustaining faith in Jesus Christ and His word. Here I wish to share 3 Scripture verses that I believe speak to the real significance of every individual who may be wrestling with their identity because of being an adopted child.   Jeremiah … Continue reading →

Fake Godliness

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on May 21, 2017 by Steve DurkacMay 21, 2017

Today at CrossHope Chapel we took a cross-reference jump from 2 Thessalonians 2:5 to 2 Timothy 3:1-5 and read this: “But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, … Continue reading →

This morning, as my Thursday custom is, I was studying for this Sunday’s teaching at CrossHope Chapel and sensed a need to share some thoughts on this verse: “And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as … Continue reading →

Sanctified by Truth

Chaplain Steve Durkac Posted on October 24, 2016 by Steve DurkacOctober 24, 2016

In yesterday’s teaching we looked at the four requests of Jesus in His prayer as recorded in John 17. We saw that Jesus prayed that He would be glorified, that we would be kept from Satan, that we would be sanctified, and that we would be one. We had some distractions to contend with yesterday, so I want to back … Continue reading →
