Crosswind Church

Peace is something a lot of people go without these days. Life is busy and the calendar is filled, keeping us moving from one thing to the next. Usually this lack of peace comes in words like "tired" and "stressed". When the prophet Isaiah spoke of the coming Messiah, one of the titles given to Jesus was The Prince of Peace. Through all the business and chaos of life, He is the one we must look to...

Jesus came to earth, not just to make a way to heaven, but to change things. He came especially for the poor, the prisoner, the blind, the oppressed. Today, we often call them the “Disenfranchised.” As Christians, we are called to bring change to their lives!

As Christians we are people who believe in the Prince of Peace. An important question to ask ourselves is, what we’re going to bring to the table: hatred and fear or grace and love? That is the question for the Church today. As followers of Jesus, it is our duty to show the world what "peace" really means. From the beginning, the issue of race was central to that message of peace.

In this life, God has given each of us three resources: Time, Talent, and Treasure. Where we invest these resources determines where our heart will be. The best investment we can make is to put our resources towards heavenly things. This means that if we want our resources to grow, we have to give them away!

It's hard sometimes to see the end from the beginning. We live in a culture of instant gratification, so when we talk about long term investment, it can be hard to wrap our minds around it. When it comes to our time, talent, and treasure, the Bible is clear, we are work towards the long-term investment. Our eyes should be fixed on the eternal hope of Heaven and not the things of this world.

By worldly standards we look at someone's financial health in terms of how much they have saved, how much they have to spend, how much their investments are worth, etc. This determines their net worth. Jesus tells us Matthew, however, that we are to lay up treasures in Heaven and in doing so, we need to expand our understanding of financial value.

In the story of Lazarus, we see a side of Jesus that no other story shows us. In the midst of death and grief, Jesus enters in and allows himself to grieve with the people. We find that we have a savior that not only feels and understands the pain of loss, He has the power to overcome death itself!

In the story of the blind man being healed we find that the tables get turned on us! We are the ones who are blind. Our sinful nature makes us spiritually blind to the Truth, but in Jesus, we find the Light of the World and our sight is restored!

One of the guarantees in life is that we will go through storms. There a moments when we find ourselves lost in the dark, out at sea, and the entire world seems bent on destroying us. When the storms blows and waters rage, we need to remember that we serve a God who walks on the water! Jesus finds us in the midst of the storm, calling us to not be afraid.

Life can be overwhelming. We face seemingly insurmountable problems and difficulties sometimes and we feel powerless. What Jesus shows us in his miracle of feeding the 5,000 is that no problem is too big, no person is too weak, and no hunger is too deep when you add Him to the equation!

We have all had days or weeks when we've thought that we could go no further. Everybody knows what its like to be at the end of their rope.

We often talk about our Christianity being a "faith walk" because our faith is journey. It's never in an instant that one becomes a Christian and is immediately strong, has perfect faith, and understands all the ways of God. With Him, faith is a constant journey, taking our life on expected roads and pit stops, all to help us grow and become more like Jesus.

In John's Gospel, the sign miracles are the ones that point the heart to who Jesus really is. The first sign miracle in John's Gospel is when Jesus turned water to wine. When we look at this wedding celebration we see four distinct gifts that Jesus brings us!
