Crossroads - Weekend Messages

Peter was chosen by Jesus to be a leader in the church but Peter had a lot to learn before he could lead well. But that’s what Jesus does! He calls us just as we are and then transforms us into the men and women He’s created us to be. It’s been said before that God doesn’t call the qualified but He qualifies the called. Peter would go on to follow Jesus and change the world in the process. God is...

When Paul met Jesus, he not only had his life rocked by the power of the gospel, he also experienced a radical renewal of his social life. As he served, traveled, and ministered, he developed a few trusted friends that saw him through the most difficult seasons. More than ever, we need the same thing. According to a recent study, 67% of Americans feel lonelier than ever before. Because of the pand...

The pressure to believe and live in a particular way has never been greater than it is today. Regardless of what we believe, the news, social media, and the educational community tell us how we should live our lives. It’s easy to simply be swept along and go with the flow. Is that what any of us truly wants? God has something so much better for us! Discover the BIG game changer this week and learn...

Take a second and breathe in slowly, and breathe it out again. Rest. It’s so easy to feel like we can never really rest because life is constantly moving. And that’s why we love to imagine ourselves sitting on the beach with our toes in the sand after a long, stressful season of work. But when a vacation actually comes along, how many of us spend the vacation worrying about “having fun” and “resti...

In our life and the lives of those we are pouring into, God always has another restoration project in mind. And we get to be part of the process! He knows that things tend to deteriorate and fade away, often including our spiritual commitments and plans. The important things can often get forgotten as we fall into the slow slide of settling for less than God’s best. In this final message from our...

We want to be made well, of course. Believe it or not, we can grow so comfortable with our situation – when we have been living for so long being sick or hurting or broken – that it just feels “normal.” It's time to break out of the haze and step into the light! In this season of restoration, God wants to help us get off the mat (literally!) and walk into the life that we have been waiting for. Co...

The God of the Bible is covenantal, always committed to his people...and it is built on the foundation of the relationship. Have you found yourself trying to make a relationship work when it's clear the other person isn't committed to the relationship? It can be a heartbreaking experience and one that needs reconciliation in order to see rehabilitation. But once those two steps are taken, there is...

God is always telling his people, “Remember…” Why? As we remember our pasts, it gives the Lord an opportunity to heal us and teach us, and it serves as a reminder that although people can be unfaithful, God is always faithful. Looking back on God’s faithfulness is a source of hope for us in the here and now and a powerful expectation we can count on for the future.

Lots of things are important, but only a few things are eternal. In fact, the only eternal things are God, people, and God’s Word. In a world of constantly shifting values and priorities, the only way to make sure we have our priorities straight as followers of Jesus is to keep our sights set on the eternal things...when we do THAT, amazing things begin to happen in all the other important things...

When God moves in power, it has nothing to do with our own ideas of power structures and what they look like. In fact, when God moves in power, it has everything to do with elevating the powerless and meeting the needs of the marginalized and oppressed, so they can be free too. One of our most important callings as followers of Jesus is to carry on his work of caring for the oppressed––this was on...

We often forget that great endeavors involve even greater risk. This is true spiritually as well. Right as Nehemiah began his work of restoration, the opposition started immediately. And the greatest leaders respond to opposition with even greater resolve. We will see Nehemiah leading with passion and wisdom.

Before anything can change in our lives, we have to be willing, to be honest with ourselves: honest about our shortcomings, honest about the nature of our circumstances, honest about who we are and who God is, honest about what God is asking of us. The amazing story of Nehemiah hinges on his honesty and integrity––he was willing to acknowledge not only the amount of work it would take to rebuild J...

Hellen Keller once wrote, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” One of the key moments in life is when you realize the desires God has put in you are more important than the fear that shouts at you. Yes, the fear is real: the fear of failure, of what others think, of an unknown future…But deep down, you know you can’t remain dormant or passive. You need to step out in faith, trust...
