This is the network of the Cross Tribe. Now is our time. If you have been keeping in touch with the events over the last few years, months, weeks, days... you should know that there may be a limited amount of time left for us to share the Gospel... at least without worrying about being intimidated and vilified.

Most churches, houses of worship, have been closed during the China Virus pandemic, because of the need for social distancing. Like educational institutions from K-12 and college, the actual physical buildings being closed, churches and synagogues have also started going hi-tech, meaning, online. Lauren Green, in her report on America's News HQ, did an excellent job in explaining what churches and synagogues are doing to compensate for their doors being shut.
It is an excellent solution for the closings, and what can be done for those that can't go to their house of worship. Not just the various religions that are now doing it, but for you to be watching! I've been doing that for the last eight months, to be honest, for the reasons that are hard to explain, but I found it very enjoyable. My church has had "online preaching" for years, and I can see the sermons from the comfort of my home. I guess I can really say, Thanking the Lord for technology!
Here are several RELATED LINKS to youtube channels and links where we can get our spiritual fix:
Now, being that this is the first of the blogs that I am posting here, from Foundation Church Portland, let me introduce you to JJ McNown. JJ is a young man that I followed on Twitter one day, and then found his Fortis Media channel on youtube.com. In this post, you will see one of JJ McNown's preaching messages in the video below, during his time pastoring the church he founded, at just 22 years old.
The message is referring to Genesis 41, the story of the Pharoah's dreams, and how Joseph rose to power and saved Egypt, and the world, during the seven years of famine. Brothers and Sisters, in this message, JJ explains the meanings of this chapter, and how they relate to Jesus Christ. Not only that, but in this message, JJ also shows us how we can only be Saved through the Grace of God, through our Faith - a Gift of God - and not by our works, as said in Ephesians 2:6-10 (NIV):
"6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
Also referenced in this message is Zechariah 12:10 (NIV):
“And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son..."
There is a good reason that I chose this video, to be the first of the ministry videos that I will provide here on The Cross Tribe Network. Unfortunately, there are many of us who are Christian that may not have realized how important the Old Testament is in understanding His Grace, and His gift of offering His Son Jesus Christ for our Redemption, just as Zechariah prophesized.
