CrossPoint Fellowship Messages

Passage: Revelation 19–22 After Babylon falls, heaven answers with worship and Jesus returns as the conquering King, not the sacrificial Lamb. The preacher walks through the wedding feast, the thousand-year reign, and the new heaven and new earth, then keeps pressing what that means for waiting on God, real worship, and telling people the truth. Key Takeaways: The martyrs had to wait, but justice...

Passage: Revelation 17–18 Babylon collapses, first as a false world religion and then as a world power that forgot God. John sees it after the seals, trumpets, and bowls, but it happens before that tribulation and clears the way for Jesus to come. The idea the preacher keeps underlining is that God’s people cannot trade his truth for something easier. Key Takeaways: Chapter 17 is a false religion...

Passage: Revelation 6–16 The Lamb opens the seals, and the trumpets and bowls pour out God’s wrath on a world that will not repent. The preacher wants those judgments heard as real events still ahead, in the three and a half years before Jesus comes. Then he presses what that means for sin, forgiveness, and how we love people. Key Takeaways: These events are literal and still future. They are not...

Passage: Revelation 4–5 John is caught up in the Spirit and sees the throne room of heaven—God on the throne, the elders and living creatures worshiping, and a sealed scroll no one is worthy to open. Only the Lion of Judah appears as the slain Lamb who lives, takes the scroll, and draws all creation into praise. This message reminds us that Revelation is meant to stir faith, not fear, and that wor...

Passage: Revelation 3 Jesus finishes the seven letters with Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea—and the accountability sharpens. One church looks alive but is dead, another has little strength yet stays true and faithful, and another is lukewarm, wealthy, and spiritually blind. This message calls us to drop the facade, stay steadfast, repent when conviction comes, and open the door while Christ is...

Passage: Revelation 2 Jesus writes to the churches of Asia—beginning with Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, and Thyatira—and shows that He knows their works, their struggles, and their compromises. These letters still speak to congregations and individuals today: keep love at the center, stay faithful under pressure, refuse cultural compromise, and deal with sin honestly. The call is clear—be the church,...

Passage: Revelation 1 Revelation opens by putting the exalted Christ at the center—not timelines, charts, or speculation. John receives a vision that unveils who Jesus is in glory, assures persecuted believers that God is in control, and points toward His visible return. This message calls us to faithful living now, because Christ reigns, He is coming, and we will give an account. Key Takeaways: R...

Passage: Job 42 In Job’s final chapter, he moves from hearing about God to seeing Him—and finally repents in dust and ashes. God forgives him, restores him, and even makes him the mediator for his friends. This message calls us to real repentance, faithful endurance in misfortune, and trust that every blessing is grace, not something God owes us. Key Takeaways: Repentance begins with the recogniti...

Passage: Job 38–41 After hearing from Job’s friends, Elihu, and Job himself, God finally speaks—out of the storm. He does not smite Job, though Job has accused Him of being wicked, unjust, and uncaring. Instead, God calls Job to brace himself like a man and confronts him with the majesty of creation. This message reminds us that we are in control of nothing, that our lives witness to who God is, a...

Passage: Job 32–35 After Job’s friends fall silent, Elihu finally speaks—angry at Job for justifying himself rather than God, and angry at the friends for condemning Job without proof. Through Elihu’s counsel we learn that wisdom is a gift from God, presence gives our words weight, assumption is the enemy of wise advice, and the path through suffering begins with honesty: is this our sin, or Satan...

Passage: Job 18–19 In Job 19, nothing around Job has improved—he is still sick, grieving, and sitting in the ashes—yet hope begins to speak louder than his pain. Bildad’s cruel certainty only deepens Job’s isolation, but Job anchors himself to one confession: “I know that my Redeemer lives.” This message calls us to refuse half-true theology, offer presence over explanations, and hold Christian ho...

Passage: Job 9:1-35; Job 16:1-22 These two passages show the need for a mediator between humanity and God. In many ways they point to Jesus. But this role can be held by loving mature believers who help remind us of who God is, and who we are called to be in the midst of the storm. Key Takeaways: We can't let our despair determine our view of God's character. This type of fair-weather fait...

In this episode, we dive into Job chapter 4 to examine the well-meaning but ultimately harmful advice of Job's friend, Eliphaz.

Key Takeaways: God should always be our first refuge and source of strength in times of trouble, as stated in Psalm 46...

In this raw and deeply personal message, we explore the heavy realities of Job chapters 1-3 to understand what "Godly Grievances" truly look like. We tackle the dangerous misconception that faith guarantees a painless life, and discover why honestly mourning our deepest losses is essential to healing and holding onto our hope in God. Key Takeaways: Satan is the afflicter, but God is the pr...

Welcome to the first episode of our new series, "Sackcloth and Ashes," a deep dive into the Book of Job. In this message, we explore Job Chapter 1 and the profound, often difficult reality of worshiping God when life falls apart. It is easy to praise God on the mountaintop when we are blessed beyond measure, but what happens when the storms hit? Through Job's story, we get a glimpse &#...

Passage: Genesis 1:27; Romans 1:19-21; Romans 9:20-23 Integrity and soullessness. AI can be a tool, but should never take the place of human touch or spiritual guidance. Key Takeaways: Anytime the soulless replaces the soul-filled, we have a problem. AI should never take the place of human touch or spiritual guidance. As image-bearers of God we share His creative attributes; AI is cold, mechanical...

Passage: Gen 2:18; Phil 1:6, Heb 3:13, Heb 10:25, John 15:13 Culture says you are the most important. Christianity says that others are the most important. The struggle between the two is very real. Key Takeaways: Stop fighting your design—you were created for fellowship, not solitude. Satan wants you isolated and alone; if he can get you there, he can break you. Partnership is where growth is sol...

Moral and ethical failures and the abuse of power destroy the trust people have in God. Don’t place your hope in man; it will only disappoint you. Key Takeaways: When you place your hope in a man, you will be...

Passage: Psalm 111:10, Romans 1:19-28; Lev 18, 20; James 1:15, Prov 14:12 Sexual sin has always been an issue of authority and identity. All sexual sin is against our own bodies and should be avoided. Sexual sins destroy our fellowship with God.

Passage: Psalm 111:10, Romans 1:19-28; Lev 18, 20; James 1:15, Prov 14:12 Sexual sin has always been an issue of authority and identity. All sexual sin is against our own bodies and should be avoided. Sexual sins destroy our fellowship with God.

Passage: Phil 3:8, 10; Heb 10:25 A technologically driven world leads to the idolatry of busyness. It also dissolves human connection. We can’t lose what makes us special: each other. Key Takeaways: Busyness has become our idol; if we aren’t producing or advancing, culture says we’re falling behind. The worst side effect of technological advancement is the destruction of human connection. Many thi...

Passage: 1 Peter 2:11 The focus on what divides us leads to division. Political, social, and academic infiltration causes disunity in the church. We must focus on what binds us together. Key Takeaways: Focusing on what divides us causes division; focus instead on what binds us together in Christ. Nothing outweighs the fact that we are brothers and sisters in Christ. Christians are to submit to gov...

Passage: Matt 4:4, Jn 2:14, Eph 6:17, Eph 4:13-14, 1 Cor 13:12 Lack of foundational knowledge leads to a shallow understanding of faith and an inability to connect Scripture to contemporary life. Key Takeaways: There is no substitute for knowing the Word of God—for our own protection and for discipling others. It is better to obey God’s Word than to satisfy human desires. All Scripture is God-brea...

Passage: 1 Peter 2:11-16; Romans 13; Matthew 28:18; Matthew 7:13-14; Gen 3 The matter of right and wrong is extremely important for Christians. What is our source of truth, and who do we look to as our authority? The answer should be God; culture wants to take this duty from Him.

Passage: Isaiah 54-55 Isaiah calls us to sing! The response to Christ’s work in His death and resurrection is praise. We must sing! We must worship! We must praise! Key Takeaways: Presently choose what's right for the promised glory to come. Avoid the service of self in favor of the service of the Savior. Idolatry takes the place of true worship when we worship God only for what He does for us...
