Crossroads - Weekend Messages

Love is what we all want most - none of us will argue with that. Whether we’re looking for someone else’s love, wishing we knew how to love ourselves better, or longing for a deeper experience of God’s love, our lives revolve around love in so many ways. At the same time, we don’t always have a clear picture of what love should be like, or how we can find satisfaction for the deepest desires we en...

We all have the same response when we find something new that we love: we want to tell someone else! That's because we were created to praise what we find beautiful. We automatically praise new restaurants, musicians, athletes, business leaders, lovers - but ultimately all our hearts long to be connected to a greater beauty, found only in God himself. Join us for this Sunday's message, as we seek...

Sometimes the choices we want to make in life don’t line up with the decisions that are the most loving for the people in our lives. That’s why sacrifice is what transforms our “nice thoughts” into real love. If we want to be the best people we can be, we have to choose to love each other, even when it’s hard, and we have to realize that love will always be greater than our liberty. Join us this S...

Sometimes the hardest people to get along with are the ones we’re most similar to, right? It’s almost like there’s an invisible competition we sense within ourselves with the people we’re most alike, especially when our opinions clash. Without realizing it, we can put ourselves in a position of judgment over others who don’t believe the same things we do. We’ve all been there - so join us for this...

Every day of our lives is a series of choices, and the quality of our lives depends on the kinds of choices we make and the priorities we set up in our lives - so we have to make sure we’ve kept the main things, the main things. When we prioritize our lives in the way God designed us to, we move from optimizing on the margins, to entering the full and abundant life Jesus promises us! Join us this...

There are two subjects many of us grew up knowing you just don’t talk about at the dinner table: religion and politics. But that seems crazy when you think about how essential those two things are for everything we do in life! In our present society where most people end up polarized about some political issue, it’s especially important to know what Jesus has to say about politics. Join us this Su...

We’ve all been on the receiving end of people who say one thing but do another - it’s never fun. Unfortunately, sometimes we’re those people too. That’s why actions speak so much louder than words - behavior opens a window into who someone truly is and whether or not we can trust them. If we want to be people of consistency, who love others the right way, who others can trust, then we have to weig...

When you love something or someone, you don’t want to just experience it yourself - you want everyone else to experience that thing or know that person too! You want to experience it at full volume. As we pick up where we left off in Romans, the apostle Paul shows us a practical way to experience life fully and abundantly. Join us this Sunday for the start of our new series Amplify, and find out h...

Imagine what our world might look like if Christians became known for remarkable love, as well as life-giving truth. In our rush to speak truth to today’s cultural issues, it’s all too easy for us to focus on proving our points rather than extending God’s grace. But when we seek only to love but never proclaim a better way, we short-circuit God’s plan. As followers of Jesus, we need to be known fo...

All of life is a series of “yes” and “no” decisions...At every moment, a “no” to one thing is a “yes” to another. Imagine if we only said “yes” to the right things - how much simpler would life be? Because none of us ever has everything perfectly figured out, that’s not actually possible. But when we line our lives up with Jesus and agree with what he says about how we should make decisions, we en...

Walking with Jesus can feel like hard work...and it can be. But so often we over-complicate what it means to just walk, step-by-step, with the Lord. That’s why at Crossroads we love to say that we are “simply responding to Jesus.” As a church family, we want to embrace simplicity with an elegant consistency, to grow in faith over the long haul, without losing our childlike sense of keeping things...

Our joy is never complete unless it’s shared. When we experience something that brings us joy, we want to share it with others - whether it’s a new restaurant, a new relationship or a new job. We all want to belong, to experience the kind of community that only comes from sharing experiences...in the same way, when we walk with Jesus, we should naturally be excited to share about who he is.

Belief and trust are very different things… We can believe a chair is capable of holding us, but until we actually sit in it and prove it, we’re not actually trusting what we say is true. And trust is hard! We encounter so many beautiful and painful things in life, and so often life gives us reasons not to trust the words of others. Jesus is not only the most trustworthy person we’ll ever meet, he...
