From the Pastor’s Desk
Posted by Edward R. Cross on October 9, 2026
What did Christ do when He made himself of no reputation? The verse names one act, and the King James defines its words. This study shows what that act was, what belongs to His manhood, how Mark 13:32 reads, and what mind Paul tells the believer to have.

Grace Greater Than Our Sin
The Christian life has plenty of ups and downs — disappointments, heartbreaks, and failures. Yet one thing never changes: the abiding presence of the Lord Jesus Christ.
In Romans 8, Paul gives us hope even after the struggles of Romans 7:
"For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son…" (Romans 8:29 KJV)
We all fail, but the Lord never abandons us. David proved that — a man after God’s own heart despite his many failures. Because of God’s sure mercies in Christ, we can keep on keeping on.
Even when we believe not, "yet he abideth faithful" (2 Timothy 2:13). God works all things together for good (Romans 8:28). He is never surprised.
The journey continues — grounded in the faithfulness of Christ.
