Regeneration: New Life in Christ
In this powerful message from John 3:1–21, Dr. Robert C. Crowder explores Jesus’ nighttime encounter with Nicodemus and the life-altering doctrine of regeneration. More than a moral improvement or a religious reform, regeneration is a supernatural, Spirit-wrought transformation that brings spiritual life to the spiritually dead. Without it, no one can see the kingdom of God. This sermon walks through the necessity, means, object, and result of the new birth, calling every listener to examine their heart and ask: “Have…
The Sounds of That Resurrection Morning
April 20, 2025. Easter. Dr. Crowder reflects on the sounds of the resurrection morning. Silence has a way of settling over a cemetery. If you’ve ever stood at the graveside of a loved one, you know that stillness.

This message confronts the sobering truth that all have sinned and fall short of God’s glory. Sin is not just about wrong actions—it is a condition that affects every human being, and its wage is death. Yet in the midst of condemnation,…
Creation: The Beginning of God’s Plan
March 16th, 2025. Creation is not just the starting point of the Bible—it is the foundation of everything we believe. Genesis 1:1 declares that God created the heavens and the earth, and John 1:1-3 reveals that Christ Himself was present in the beginning, bringing all things into existence.
