What does godliness look like in real life? In this message from 1 Timothy 5, Pastor Steve shows that faith is not limited to quiet moments of prayer or worship. True godliness shows up in how we speak to one another, care for our families, and live with compassion in everyday life.   Paul calls the church to be a household where people treat each other like family. Older men are honored as father...

How do you train for godliness? In 1 Timothy 4:1–16, Paul shows that spiritual health is not built by willpower but by grace. Pastor Steve unpacks God’s plan for a healthy soul through three rhythms that mirror our physical life: exercise, rest, and nutrition.   This message exposes counterfeit forms of spirituality that look impressive but leave the soul empty, and it reminds us that true godline...

The church in Ephesus stood in the shadow of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Temple of Artemis. It was massive, beautiful, and filled with idols. Yet Paul reminded Timothy that the true wonder of the world was not made of stone but of people.   In this message, Gene Coleman, an elder at CrossPointe, teaches from 1 Timothy 3:14–16, showing that the church is the household of God,...

When people think of deacons, they often picture board meetings or budget spreadsheets. But in Scripture, deacons are not administrators of an organization. They are lead servants who reflect the heart of Jesus.   In this message from 1 Timothy 3:8–13, Pastor Steve shows how the gospel shapes every part of the church, including those called to serve. Deacons are not secondary leaders but living pi...

Trust in church leaders has been shaken in our generation, leaving many people wounded and wary of returning. In this message from 1 Timothy 3:1–8, Pastor Steve shows how the Gospel offers a better way. God’s design for leadership is not built on charisma or success but on character that has been shaped by grace.   This passage lifts the curtain on what kind of men God calls to guide His people—me...

Few passages in the New Testament are as debated as 1 Timothy 2:8–15. Paul speaks about men raising holy hands in prayer, women adorning themselves with godliness rather than appearance, and even the hard line about women not teaching or having authority over men. These verses have sparked centuries of discussion, confusion, and sometimes division.   In this sermon, Pastor Steve leans in with humi...

What powers the mission of the church? It is not strategy, programs, or polished leadership. It is prayer. In 1 Timothy 2, Paul urges the church to be a praying people, lifting up petitions, intercessions, and thanksgiving for all people, even leaders and enemies.   In this message, Pastor Steve calls us back to the heart of the mission: prayer that fuels gospel proclamation. Prayer reminds us tha...

When life feels heavy and faith feels weary, where do you turn? In 1 Timothy 1, Paul doesn’t give Timothy a list of tasks—he shares his testimony. Paul reminds us that mercy changes everything. It rewrote his story from blasphemer to believer, from persecutor to preacher.   In this message, Pastor Steve shows that when mercy rewrites your story, gratitude becomes the song of your life and the stre...

Many people today say, “I love Jesus, but I don’t trust the church.” And let’s be honest—sometimes they have good reasons. From scandals to power grabs, churches can lose sight of who they are meant to be. But what if the problem isn’t with the idea of the church itself, but with forgetting its foundation?   In this first message from the House of God series, Pastor Steve reminds us that when the...

Every wedding points to something greater. Beneath the music, the feast, and the vows is a longing for a love that lasts and a joy that never ends. Revelation 19 gives us a glimpse of that ultimate wedding: the marriage supper of the Lamb.   In this message, Stephen Bean (elder at CrossPointe) reminds us that the Bible’s story ends not with despair, but with a feast. A Bride made ready. A Groom wh...

It’s possible to sit at the Lord’s Table with bread and cup in hand—and still miss Jesus. That was the danger in Corinth, where communion became more about status and division than about grace. And if we’re honest, it can be our danger too.   In this message, Pastor Steve shows how the Lord’s Supper is not just ritual but relationship—an invitation into fellowship with Christ Himself. Communion is...

What made the early church so powerful that 3,000 people were saved in a single day? In this heartfelt message, retired pastor Jim Fox takes us back to the very first Pentecost and reveals the four pillars that transformed ordinary believers into world-changers. From the apostles' teaching to fellowship, from breaking bread together to devoted prayer, discover how these simple practices created a...

Sometimes failure feels final. You work hard, do all the right things, and still end up with empty hands. That’s where Peter found himself—haunted by his denial of Jesus, unsure if he still belonged. But in John 21, Jesus shows up on the shore with a fire, breakfast, and a question that changes everything.   In this message, Pastor Steve shows how Jesus meets us in our surrender, not our success....

We all hit moments when the joy dries up—when life feels more like obligation than celebration. Maybe it’s a quiet ache, a relationship gone cold, or the creeping sense that what once satisfied no longer does. In John 2, Jesus shows up at a wedding that’s running out of wine, and with it, joy, honor, and hope.   In this message, Pastor Steve reveals the beauty behind Jesus’ first miracle—not just...

We all long for belonging—for a place at the table where we’re wanted, welcomed, and known. But in a world of distractions, deadlines, and self-made religion, it’s easy to miss the most important invitation of all.   In this message, Pastor Steve shares the parable of the wedding banquet—a story Jesus told not to entertain us, but to wake us up. This is a feast prepared by a Father who doesn’t wan...

What do you do when it feels like your prayers are hitting the ceiling? When silence stretches long and the waiting wears you down, it’s tempting to assume God isn’t listening. But in Luke 18, Jesus tells a story that speaks directly to the ache of unanswered prayer.   In this message, Pastor Steve reminds us that prayer isn’t about nagging God into submission—it’s about holding onto His heart whe...

Most of us walk around with quiet pressure in our souls—the need to appear put-together, to be “good enough,” to prove we’re worthy of love. But in Luke 18, Jesus tells a story that lovingly exposes this tendency.   In this message, Pastor Steve invites us to see ourselves clearly: not as people who need a little polishing, but as people who need mercy. The parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Coll...

When was the last time you forgave someone from your heart—not because they deserved it, but because you remembered the mercy God gave you? In this honest and powerful message, Pastor Steve leads us through Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant and invites us to confront the subtle pride that clings to our own record while holding others hostage to theirs.   We all crave grace, but extending i...

We’ve all been there—watching someone else get the thing we prayed for, waiting longer than we thought fair, or wondering if God sees us at all. In this parable from Matthew 20, Jesus speaks directly to the ache of comparison and the frustration of unmet expectations.   In this message, Stephen Bean reminds us that the kingdom of God doesn’t operate on fairness—it runs on grace. The Father isn’t s...

What kind of Father runs—shamefully, joyfully—to embrace a rebellious child who’s squandered everything? In this sermon, Pastor Steve brings us into the heart of the Gospel as seen through the parable of the prodigal son.   Whether you’ve wandered far from God or stayed close but cold-hearted, this story isn’t just about one son—it’s about two. And more importantly, it’s about a Father who bears s...

We’ve all asked it—What must I do to be saved? But when Jesus answers, it isn’t with a list or a lecture. He tells a story. A story about a broken man, a dusty road, and a love that crosses every boundary.   In this sermon from Luke 10, Stephen Bean takes us deep into the heart of the parable of the Good Samaritan—not as a moral checklist, but as a gospel story. The wounded man isn’t someone else....

It’s easy to write people off when they wander. We assume they’re too far gone, too broken, or simply not worth the effort. But Jesus tells a different story. In this tender and powerful message from Luke 15, Stephen Bean reminds us that the heart of the Father is not one of abandonment—but of pursuit.   God doesn’t sit back and wait for us to find our way home. He comes after us. He lifts us onto...

The Christian life is not a playground—it’s a battlefield. But we don’t fight alone or unarmed. In this final message from Ephesians, Pastor Steve unpacks the armor God gives His people—armor not fashioned by human hands, but forged in heaven.   When the spiritual war around us intensifies, we don’t need to panic. We need to stand. Clothed in truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the...

What if your job isn’t just about making a living, but about living out the Gospel? Whether you’re in a boardroom, a classroom, a kitchen, or a construction site, this message from Ephesians 6 reminds us that our work is not a detour from discipleship—it’s one of the places where our faith becomes most visible.   In this sermon, Pastor Steve invites us to see work not as a grind, but as a gift—an...

Parenting is more than a task—it’s a sacred calling. In this heartfelt and hope-filled message, Pastor Steve invites us to consider what it means to parent with the strength and wisdom only God can provide. Whether you’re in the thick of toddler tantrums or navigating the complexities of adult children, this sermon will both comfort and challenge you. Hear the grace that meets you in your wearines...
