The Crossing Church Sermons

God is seen in how we love one another. We can be assured of who we are being we experience intimacy with God's Spirit who lives in us, because we believe in who Jesus is and what Jesus has done and because we enjoy being loved by God and sharing His love with others.

God is love, God lives in us and so we love others as evidence and assurance that we are His. Those who are easy to love and those who are hard. Our motivation to love those who hard to love is seen in what Jesus had to do to show God's love for us.

Truth and right doctrine matter. Not everything said or taught is from God. If from God - we can fully embrace. If not from God - we can fully reject. But in all things - don't just believe - but test first.

Condemning hearts can crush us and we need the assurance of the presence of God's Spirit. Confident hearts can be a blessing but squandered if we don't turn the blessing into sharing the blessing with others.

Our faith is rooted in the reality of the physical resurrection of Jesus. Come and examine the evidence and celebrate the reality with us this Easter

What kind of evidence do we have to build confidence that we've received a faith handed down and we don't practice blind faith? The essential question that must first be answered is - is it all true? If it isn't - it means nothing. If it is all true - it means everything.

Unlike our enemy and his offspring who hate, divide and seek to destroy in death - we should love one another and share the life and love we've been given through our eternal life in Christ Jesus.

While sin in our lives should never be dismissed as insignificant, our identity doesn't flow from what we do, but from what Christ has done.

As God's children, we've been adopted and lavished with His love; we are incomprehensible to the world; we will one day mysteriously be made like Jesus; and thus we live with a lifestyle of hope and purity.

The return of Jesus is a sure thing coming and so how can we live now not afraid but eagerly anticipating and ready for His return because we can honestly deal with our sins now.

There will be those who walk away from Jesus and our faith because they never really belonged. Be warned about them. But be encouraged as those that remain! By God's grace we have been given everything in Jesus and our new life in Him.

Considering the image of God inherent in all humans, how does that guide how we love and care for others of all ethnicities.

As we treasure the Word for what it is, we will reap the blessings of being changed in supernatural ways through the Word

Jesus and His presence in our lives is the inexhaustible and indestructible joy that no one can take away from us

Today we learn from the life of Simeon and Anna how faith in God gives hope through all of life's circumstances

Knowing God is an intimacy with God that only His people experience and is related to our obedience to His commands and walking as He walked and experiencing the fullness of His love.

As God's people we have been given a freedom from sin and a remedy for sin through Jesus that we enjoy and we share with everyone
