We're excited to start a new series called Different , exploring how the word "different" can be both positive and negative. Sometimes different means better, exceeding expectations, while other times it feels isolating. In a world that’s increasingly chaotic and overwhelming, we all crave something different—something better. Through this series, we’ll dive into 1 Peter, a letter w...

Welcome to the Monday Minute ! Today, we're diving into a key point from yesterday’s message. Proverbs says, "As a man thinks, so he is." Our thoughts shape our identity and how we live. In 1 Peter, he reminds believers—though they may feel scattered or persecuted—they are a royal nation, a holy priesthood. This identity isn’t just for others; it's for you too. So, what if this...

John Burke shares extraordinary near-death experiences (NDEs) from people he has interviewed around the world. These individuals were clinically dead—no heartbeat, no brain activity—yet were revived through medical intervention or miraculous means. Upon their return, they describe being more alive than ever, often in the presence of a God of light and love they never wanted to leave. Starting as a...

In this message from the series Is God Good? , Rusty George addresses the challenging question many people face: if God is good and great, why do bad things happen? He acknowledges that many of us grow up believing in certain versions of God that don’t hold up when we face real-life struggles, such as suffering or unanswered prayers. Rusty explores the false images of God, like the "Bodyguard...

Rusty George engages his audience with humor and relatable stories, discussing his football allegiances and his family's experiences with prayer, while addressing the deep questions people often have about God's nature. Through a series of anecdotes, he challenges common misconceptions of God, such as the "on-demand" God, the "boyfriend" God, and the "guilt"...

Damian Boyd opens with a powerful prayer, calling the congregation to surrender to God and listen for His voice. He intercedes specifically for those who are deeply wounded and wrestling with offense, asking God to bring healing and hope to their hearts. Damian highlights that being "unoffendable" is central to the Beatitudes, the culture of God's Kingdom, and the very essence of th...

In today's sermon, we explore the topic of "Church Hurt," addressing the all-too-common experience of feeling offended or let down by the church. Drawing from Philippians 4:2-3, where Paul addresses a conflict between two members of the early church, we examine how unresolved personal issues can escalate into community-wide drama. The key takeaway is that true Christian community is...

Clay Scroggins, a familiar face at Crossroads, shares his excitement about returning after a few months away and dives into the theme of being "Unoffendable." He humorously recounts a personal story of inadvertently taking a long nap on his kids' first day of school, leading to an amusing but slightly embarrassing encounter with the school principal. Clay explores how easily we get...

We have all been OFFENDED by someone or something. This message uses common mousetraps and bug zappers as metaphors to illustrate how easy it is to fall into life’s various "traps," such as consumerism, sweets, gossip, and digital distractions. Pastor Rusty recounts personal experiences, leading to a deeper discussion about the ultimate trap laid by the enemy: offense. Rusty urges listen...

In this engaging series, we explore the intersection of popular cinema and biblical truth, using films as a lens to uncover themes of redemption, courage, love, and sacrifice that resonate with Scripture. We’ll take a closer look at the transformative stories, such as Jesus Revolution , which chronicles the lives of young Greg Laurie, Lonnie Frisbee, and Chuck Smith during the 1960s counterculture...

In 1945, America's greatest generation returned from war, bringing with them a sense of victory and hope as Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were defeated. Among the returning soldiers were beloved baseball players like Musial, DiMaggio, and Williams, and life in the United States began to normalize. However, African American soldiers came home to find racism and segregation still entrenched i...

I’m Pastor Brian Mrazek, and I invite you to meet me and our team at The Hub in the lobby after the service to get connected.

We began this series by discussing the importance of serving within the church. If you're new, you might think this is a volunteer drive, but it's more than that. We're exploring how serving others is the best way to connect with God, improve your marriage, and enhance your work life. Just like jumping off a high dive can be scary at first but exhilarating once you take the plunge,...

Good morning, Crossroads! Today, I want to talk about shortcuts. We all love them, whether it's finding a quicker route using the Waze app or choosing the shortest line at Target. But sometimes shortcuts don't work out as planned, like my recent Chick-fil-A drive-thru mishap. This brings us to our topic: a biblical shortcut to connecting with God. In 1 Peter, we learn how to deepen our r...

Good morning, Crossroads, and happy Father's Day to all the dads here and online! It's great to see everyone. Today, we continue our series on discovering our true identity in Christ, exploring how we are more than the labels others place on us. Interestingly, Mother’s Day celebrations span the entire weekend, while Father’s Day often gets just a few hours. Dads, claim your day! We’re di...

In Todays sermon we hear Matt Harvey sharing about how Jesus calls us friends, offering us the ultimate love. Despite this, we often seek fulfillment elsewhere, appreciating His sacrifice but then living independently. My hope is that today’s message, grounded in John 15, helps you reconnect with Jesus. If you struggle to feel close to Him, remember that He is the true vine, and we are the branche...

We've all experienced being called the wrong name, whether at Starbucks or by a coworker. Despite my name being Rusty, I've been called Randy, Dusty, Rudy, and even Wesley. Often, it's not just the name but what people think about us that sticks. They might label us based on our past jobs, relationships, or personal struggles. Over time, these external labels can shape how we see ou...
