crossroads

You have such immense value that God gave His life for yours. You are Jesus' legacy.

A weed is just a plant that grows out of place. Some things that aren't strictly sinful hold us back. What's growing in your soil? 

Gardens must be watered regularly. Nurture your faith. Set spiritual goals. Seek God deliberately, directly. And do it daily.

Plants need good soil to grow. Do you surround yourself with good things spiritually, socially, and within yourself?

Jesus is the light of the world. Like plants, we need exposure to the Light to live. And we need it directly from Him, constantly.

God is a gardener. He wants to see us grow and flourish. We were each planted with a purpose: to blossom into a unique image of God.

Jesus offers us eternal life, and life to the fullest now. Today, we heard from several people whose lives have been changed by His love.

Herod treated Jesus like a genie. Pilate bent to peer pressure from the crowd, which was led astray by the emotion of the moment.

Even the best of us can turn against God by asserting ourselves over Him. Is God an obstacle to your agenda?

Jesus could forgive His murderers from the cross because the path to peace is surrender to God. Are you holding something from Him?

We find peace in God's calling. As we surrender our identity, God reveals our purpose. As we obey, we find peace and blessing.

For true peace, we must give our identity to God. We must give up the image we made up for the one God intended.

People once covered their heads in ashes in repentance. We don't have forever to turn from sin. Ash Wednesday is just one more chance.

"My peace I give to you." -Jesus, John 19:27 Jesus isn't talking about peaceful circumstances. He means wholeness and peace with God.

The greatest love story of all time is of God's love for us. Jesus proved it by laying down His life for us (John 15:13).

Do we keep the greatest expressions of our love for romance? What if we loved everyone recklessly? What would we give of ourselves?

Love changes us; it's supposed to. It is meant to bring our character closer to God's. Are you guided by love, or something else?

At Crossroads, we take care of the people here, and we reach out to those who aren't. We follow God as He reaches out to the world.

Crossroads is here to teach who God is and how to live because we want to multiply believers, followers, leaders, and churches.

Crossroads is about connecting. God has given His mission to us: to reconcile the world - to reconnect us - to Himself.

Without vision, we lose focus. We miss out on our God-given purpose. That's why we have sought out our vision at Crossroads.

The new year is a great time to examine your life and make changes. Where is God leading you? What is He telling you to change?

If you're looking for love, you're really looking for God. He loved us before we loved Him. He will never give up on us.

We miss joy when we hold our lives back from God, or only pretend to worship Him. Joy comes from following and worshipping God.

The hope of Christmas is that God knows what we're doing, what we feel, where He's taking us. He wants to do the impossible in us.
