Poetic Pastor Series (Videos)
Posted by Sterling
- Jesus: His Life, Death, and Resurrection: Video Link
- Gifts of the Father (The Gifts of Jesus and the Holy Spirit): Video Link
I'm going to start working on the next one on Creation/New Creation. Perhaps in a few months, it should be ready.
On another note, I'm going to get a Calendar added for our services and events, hopefully in the next week. The first three months of 2024, I've done 42 services, so we'll see what April holds!
Our Vision: Glorify Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!
Posted by Sterling
Cross Allegiance has been around a long time (it was technically EncouragedLife back in 2003, then rebranded to Cross Allegiance when I went off to Seminary and then started our YouTube outreach), but I want to share some of the vision for this ministry in the mid-term:
- Cross Allegiance will focus on implementing a TV station that can play on Smart TVs, Mobile Devices, and Computers. This will be free of charge to all who download.
- On-demand videos will also be available via our Website (here) and YouTube channel
- The setup for this ministry will be rooted in a building that will double as a TV Studio as well as Local Church on weekends. The hope is to have a constant 'burnt offering' before the LORD!
God has provided me a good amount of funds to start, so much of the plan is to fund this out of my own pocket. I will hope to file formal incorporation papers and then 501c3 paperwork for Cross Allegiance in 2024 in case anyone else wants to support and be tax-exempt (but this will be in-progress for a while). If not, no worries. I'm eager to preach, pastor, pray, and evangelize!
March, March, March...
Posted by Sterling
More of a follow-up post from the January/February service schedule. March will probably be a bit lighter than January/February unless I get more bookings at other great local churches. You can use our Booking Form to do that! If not, that will give me more time to set up a studio to get some video recording done in the meantime. I taught the midweek Bible Study pretty heavily in January and February, and also preached at a few of the Worship Nights on Fridays (and programmed and ran the Trivia Nights, as well), so this schedule may fill in with some of those involvements, as well.

Jesus is Alive and Well!
Posted by Sterling
I'm reminded of old-school evangelism on Yahoo Chat. For a while, my screenname on there was JesusIsAliveAndWell. God did some amazing things, even through Yahoo Chat. What has He done in your life as of late? Are you actively seeing Him do amazing things in and through you? Do you feel overwhelmed with gratitude and joy, or do you feel lacking? Regardless of your current state, there's always room to be intentional about being ON TRACK! Following Jesus is not about dead ritual, and our Savior is most definitely not dead, but Risen!
Jesus is truly Alive and Well. He is seated at the Right Hand of the Father in Glory. He will return in power. He desires for you to draw near to Him, and to see Him do the miraculous in your life. Need Prayer? Let us know! Want to share a Praise Report? Feel free! We're definitely interested in encouraging you in your walk with the LORD and seeing Him do wonders through our willingness.
Romans Series
Posted by Sterling
If you haven't been to our Twitter or Facebook outreaches lately, we're doing a series on Romans. Each portion is 140 characters or less, and hopefully the series is a blessing to many. Once it's all finished, there will likely be 500 or more Tweets through the book of Romans. Feel free to retweet, share, etc. to get the Word out! A few are listed here:
God provided Jesus as a sacrifice for us "when we were yet without strength" -- in our own power, we cannot achieve salvation (Romans 5:6)
Without faith in Jesus, we stand condemned (see John 3:18). With faith in Jesus, there is now no condemnation (see Romans 8:1).
Stay tuned! As always, if you have a Prayer Request, send it our way and we will gladly pray for the matter at hand. If you want to help out with Cross Allegiance in any way, let us know. We definitely are praying for workers to spread the love of Jesus. God bless you!

While we've moved to a hybrid in-person and online approach on Sundays, if you want to catch up on prior Tuesday webcasts, here you go:
Outreach Images (Work-In-Progress)
Posted by Sterling
I've been working on a few new sections to the website, and hopefully this will be a very helpful addition. On our Facebook and Twitter outreaches, we put out evangelistic pictures for people to see and share. You can now view these images all in one spot, but again, I'm still working on it! Each image has author, website, and license information, and an option to download either a smaller or full-sized image.
For a sneak peek, check here: Outreach Images (Work-in-Progress)
Need Prayer?
Submit a Prayer Request!
Cross Allegiance is a ministry focused on spreading the good news (Gospel) of Jesus Christ in various creative ways, involving our everyday talents to illustrate His character as revealed in God's Word. We believe that all people need to put their faith in Jesus for forgiveness of sins and the inheritance of eternal life in Heaven. If you don't know Jesus yet, please consider that seriously. God loves you too much to ignore, and it's worth every bit of the sacrifice involved to follow Jesus in this life. Sow to the Spirit, and reap eternal life! Walk with Him through life -- you will never be the same, and you will never regret it. Know Jesus? Great! Let's seek revival through personal holiness, devotion to the Word and prayer, and most importantly, a deep love for God and others.
