Cross Point Church Podcast

In the last week of our “About Time” series, Pastor Kevin wraps up our study of Jacob in Genesis.  God took Jacob back to the place of his greatest regret in order to heal him, because hidden wounds are the ones that never heal.  Jacob’s story reminds us that God uses broken people, because the true hero of the story is God’s grace. 

We live in a culture that tells us waiting time is wasted time; we resist boredom at all costs. In week four of “About Time”, Pastor Kevin teaches about how God uses waiting to deepen Jacob’s trust. The work that God does within us while we wait is just as important as whatever we are waiting for – even when we are waiting, God is working. 

We all have unmet expectations in our lives that lead to us feeling disappointed. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the regrets of our past, but an encounter with God can transform our disappointments to something new. Even when we are not looking for God, He is looking for us – He is not disinterested in our disappointment. 

In week two of About Time, Pastor Kevin teaches how to fight against the lie that we should be further in life by a certain time. Instead, we want our time to matter for what matters most. 

In a world where busyness can seem the normality, we rush from task to task, often filling our lives with the urgent, rather than the important. Is this the legacy we want to leave, or can we realign our lives with a greater purpose?  In this series we’re unpacking the story of Jacob; a biblical hero whose final obituary stood in sharp contrast to the realities of his earlier years.  In...

What you believe shapes how you see the world. 2000 years ago, eternity was changed when Jesus stepped out of the garden tomb. We read the story of Easter that we may believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that by believing, we may have life in His name. Together, we celebrate Easter. Do you believe? 

In our last week of Words to Live By, Pastor Kevin teaches us the final phrase that all people want to hear, “thank you”.  In this message, we study a story in the Bible where gratitude proceeds a miracle. Let’s not miss the miracles by taking things for granted.  Our God notices a grateful heart. 

In week three of Words to Live By, David Nasser shared a powerful message about how choosing to forgive is an opportunity for you to allow love to prosper by letting go. It’s time to release the things that hold you back from true celebration and joy.

At the end of our lives, there are four phrases that we all long to hear. In week two of Words to Live By, Pastor Kevin shared about the second phrase… “I’m sorry”.  We don’t apologize to others to be made right with God, we apologize because we have been made right with God – even when we don’t deserve it. 

At the end of our lives, there are four phrases that everyone wants to hear, the first being “I love you.” In the first weeks of our “Words to Live By” series, Pastor James talks about making love a priority in our lives today, not just at the end of our lives. 

In the last week of our Awaken series, Pastor Kevin shares how Jesus flipped the rules that the world had written about acceptance. The natural tendency of any group is to turn focus inward, focusing on the “insiders” and ignoring the “outsiders. Jesus’ life shows us that His supernatural tendency is to bring the outsiders in, and in turn, calls us to do the same.

As we read through the book of Acts, we see examples of the apostles being set free from imprisonment in the darkest parts of the night when it seemed like all was lost. In week three of Awaken, Pastor Kevin shares how we can find freedom in the pits of despair. When the night seems darkest, prayer is your weapon and your song is your strength.
