Cross and Crown Sermon Audio

God's holiness demands reverence but also ignites joy. In this week's sermon, Brad Andrews showed us from 2 Samuel that you can't approach God casually. Yet when we humble ourselves and come through Christ's sacrifice, godly fear doesn't kill worship; it fuels it. Link below 

Are you spiritually asleep while real threats move in? In this weeks sermon, Pastor Brad Andrews explored 2 Samuel 4, and discovered a powerful truth: faithfulness isn't about one heroic moment—it's about ordinary obedience in the day-to-day.

In the fog of life's battles, it's easy to lose sight of what truly matters. This past Sunday, Brad Andrews showed us from 2 Sam. 3:1-39 what it looks like to pursue influence, greatness, & justice in ways that honor God rather than ourselves. Will we walk in step with the King?

God guides the humble, not the hurried or the haughty. This past Sunday, Pastor Brad Andrews showed us from 2 Samuel 2:1-32 that the spiritually mature listen before they act, but that the spiritually immature rush ahead of God. Are you running ahead of God or walking with Him?

God's purposes advance even through painful providences. From 2 Samuel 1, Pastor Brad Andrews showed us how, in David's grief, faithfulness didn't mean pretending loss wasn't loss. We can grieve honestly while trusting confidently b/c sorrow and hope are never at odds with God.

Acts chapter 12 presents us with a profound paradox that challenges our understanding of faith and divine sovereignty. We encounter two apostles, both faithful servants of Christ, yet facing dramatically different outcomes. James is executed by the sword, while Peter miraculously escapes from prison through angelic intervention. This stark contrast forces us to confront an uncomfortable truth: fai...

Building community with like-minded believers is good, but it should stretch our vision out toward those we might overlook rather than shrink it. Listen in as Brad Andrews shows us from Acts 10 that we often confuse our preferences & comfort with God's actual mission in the world.

Whether you're depleted and despondent or faithful but exhausted, Jesus has the same message: you never outgrow depending on Him. Listen in as Brad Andrews shows us that your need is the very place God chooses to display his power - to meet you with his mercy and might. #Acts9

Saul thought he was defending God's honor until Jesus confronted his sin, converted him, and gave him a new mission: to preach the same Christ he was persecuting against. The result? Backlash. Opposition. We should expect no less when we do the same. Will we press on like Saul?

Speaking God's truth will provoke resistance. In a sermon on the story of Stephen in Acts 6-7, Brad Andrews showed us a man who boldly exposed spiritual rebellion, and it ultimately cost him everything. Are we willing to pay the same price for truth - even when it’s costly?

A church that refuses order produces chaos. A church that fears resistance breeds compromise. Lead Pastor Brad Andrews shows us a better way for a local church from Acts 6:1-7: delegate wisely and stand firmly. When we do, even enemies become converts - and God gets the glory!

When the apostles faced imprisonment, beatings, and threats for proclaiming Jesus, they didn't back down. They chose obedience to God over comfort, safety, or approval. Their bold witness turned Jerusalem upside down and changed the world. Today, we face our own battles—not always with governments, but often with our own fears. Fear of awkward conversations. Fear of losing friendships. Fear of wha...

Acts 4–5 shows two paths for stewardship in the church: Spirit-born generosity & Spirit-exposed hypocrisy. One life opens its hands & stewards God’s gifts freely. The other plays religious games before a holy God. Which path will mark your life: generosity that honors Christ or pretense that provokes His judgment?

What does a Spirit-filled church actually look like? This profound exploration of Acts 2:42-47 takes us beyond the surface-level understanding of church attendance and into the heart of what it means to be a community transformed by the Holy Spirit. We discover four essential marks that defined the first church and should define ours today: submission to God's Word, genuine fellowship, true worshi...

The message confronts us with uncomfortable questions: Are we merely enjoying the benefits of following Jesus, or are we actively participating in His mission? Do our prayers stretch beyond our own needs? Do our resources reach beyond our comfort zones? The ascension of Jesus isn't just a historical footnote—it's the cornerstone of our gospel courage. Because Jesus now reigns at the Father's right...

What does it really mean to be empowered by the Holy Spirit? This exploration of Acts 1:4-8 challenges us to reconsider everything we thought we knew about spiritual power. We discover that the promise of the Holy Spirit isn't about becoming 'super Christians' or climbing some spiritual ladder—it's about being equipped for the mission God has given us.

This week we started our new series through the book of Acts. As we begin, Acts chapter 1 invites us into a transformative understanding of what it means to be witnesses of Christ's kingdom. We discover that the book of Acts isn't merely a historical account of the early church—it's a living blueprint for our own participation in God's ongoing mission.
