59 and Thinking

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on October 2, 2021 by Steve DurkacOctober 2, 2021

Yesterday I turned 59 years old and I wasn’t feeling good about it. I took my 50th birthday hard, because I realized that 50 years of my life just filtered through my hands like grains of sand at the beach. Turning 59 was not as bad for me as when I turned 50, but I am wondering about my next birthday. I’m already thinking about my next birthday when I turn 60. I’m expecting that … Continue reading →

Matthew 25 and Being Ready

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on September 22, 2021 by Steve DurkacSeptember 22, 2021

Last Sunday at CrossHope Chapel we opened to the 25th chapter of Matthew and read two parables and an explanation of the separating of the saved from the unsaved at Jesus’ return. This chapter was a continuation of the same discourse found in Matthew 24 where Jesus was warning His disciples to be watch for the signs of the end and be ready for His return. In Matthew 25 Jesus uses two parables to show … Continue reading →

Signs of the End

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on September 14, 2021 by Steve DurkacSeptember 14, 2021

This past Sunday we opened to Matthew 24 and had a good discussion on the signs of the end as given by Jesus to His disciples. We saw that Jesus gave this discourse with the purpose stated in Matthew 24:42-44 that we would all “Therefore keep watch…So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him” (NIV). Jesus wants us to watch for … Continue reading →

Don’t Lose Heart

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

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 … Continue reading →

Matthew 24:34 and This Generation?

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on October 13, 2020 by Steve DurkacOctober 13, 2020

In Jesus’ discourse on the sign of the end times, He makes a statement that often raises a question about who is He talking about, that statement is Matthew 24:34. The verse says, “Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” Over the years of my ministry I have heard people ask, Did Jesus mean that the apostles were to see the second coming? or Were the … Continue reading →

Virus Fear and Our Want Of Safety

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on July 16, 2020 by Steve DurkacJuly 16, 2020

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 … Continue reading →

The Millennium: A Sequence of Events

Pastor Steve Durkac Posted on July 31, 2019 by Steve DurkacSeptember 14, 2022

If one looks at the sequence of events regarding the 1000 years of Revelation 20 through an Historicist view, these 17 points would explain its progression: Jesus returns for His as promised in John 14:1-3 and detailed in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18. The saints who have died in Christ will be resurrected. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17; 1 Corinthians 15:42-44. This is the first resurrection mentioned by Jesus in John 5:28-29. Then the saints who are alive will … Continue reading →
