Cross Community Church

In this Sunday's sermon, Pastor Scott walks through Hebrews 10:19–25, reminding us of the incredible blessings we share together because of Christ. Through His finished work, we have confidence to draw near to God, a clean conscience, a sure hope, and a church family that encourages one another in love and good works. This message challenges us to hold fast to our confession and remain committ...

Pastor Kole's Farewell As Pastor Kole closes this chapter of ministry at Cross Community Church, he leaves us with the same encouragement Paul gave the Ephesian church in Acts 20:32: depend on God and His Word. While pastors may come and go, God's faithfulness never changes. His Word continues to build His people, sustain His church, and point us to the eternal inheritance found in Christ....

What happens when an ordinary person encounters the extraordinary holiness of God? In Isaiah 6, the prophet receives a life-changing vision of the Lord seated on His throne, high and lifted up. Confronted by God's greatness, holiness, and grace, Isaiah's response is simple yet powerful: “Here I am! Send me.” In this message, Pastor Kole Thomas walks through three truths that moved Isaiah t...

What makes the New Covenant better than the Old? In Hebrews 8:6–13, we see that Jesus is the mediator of a better covenant founded on better promises. While the Old Covenant revealed God’s holy standard, it could not change the human heart, provide a perfect priest, or fully remove sin. But through Christ, God accomplishes what the law could never do. In this message, we explore three incredible p...

Should Christians obey the Ten Commandments? In this message, we examine the purpose of God's law and how it relates to believers under the New Covenant. Far from being outdated or burdensome, the Ten Commandments reveal our need for Christ, point us toward a life of obedience, and help us understand what it means to truly love God and love others.

Who are you, really? The world often defines us by our careers, relationships, accomplishments, failures, or even the struggles that have held us captive. But in Exodus 19, God gives His people a new identity after rescuing them from slavery, and through Jesus Christ, those same truths are applied to every believer today. In this message, Pastor Kole walks through Exodus 19 and 1 Peter 2 to show t...

In this message through Epistle to the Ephesians 2:1–10, we are reminded that the gospel truly is good news for us. Before Christ, we were spiritually dead in our sin and unable to save ourselves — but God, rich in mercy and love, made us alive through Jesus Christ. Salvation is not something we earn through good works, but a gift of grace received through faith. And in Christ, we are not only for...

In this sermon from Matthew 25:14–30, we are reminded that everything we have has been entrusted to us by Jesus, and one day we will stand before Him and give an account. Through the parable of the talents, we see the difference between faithful servants who worked for the glory of their Master and the servant who buried what he had been given out of fear and selfishness. This message challenges u...

In this message from Exodus 17–18, we see that God’s people prevail by God’s power as they labor together under the authority of His Word. Through Israel’s battle with Amalek and Jethro’s wise counsel to Moses, we are reminded that we were never meant to fight alone. This sermon explores what it means to depend on the Lord in seasons of weariness, proclaim His goodness in the middle of hardship, a...

In this message from Exodus 17:1–7, we are reminded of a powerful truth for the Christian life: don’t put Christ to the test. As Israel journeyed through the wilderness, their response to hardship revealed a lack of trust in God’s provision, protection, and presence. Through their failure, we are given a warning and an invitation. Instead of demanding from God, we are called to humbly ask in faith...

In Exodus 16, we see how God teaches His people to trust Him in the wilderness. After being delivered from Egypt, Israel quickly forgets God’s faithfulness and begins to grumble, yet God responds with grace by providing manna from heaven. This passage reminds us that God’s provision is supernatural, sufficient for each day, and a testimony of His faithfulness. It also challenges us to trust Him da...

In Set Free Part 12: Lessons in the Wilderness , we walk through Exodus 15:22–27 and see how God uses seasons of testing to shape His people. After the high of deliverance at the Red Sea, Israel quickly finds themselves in the wilderness, thirsty, frustrated, and grumbling. Yet in this moment, God is doing something deeper. He is not abandoning His people. He is teaching them. This passage reveals...

In this message from Exodus 13:17–15:2, we see that God often leads in unexpected ways so that we learn to trust His presence and power. His ways are always best because He is with us, even when the path feels uncertain. God’s glory is revealed as He delivers His people, reminding us that we don’t have to fight our own battles because He fights for us. And when we experience His deliverance, the r...

On this Resurrection Sunday, we look back to an unexpected place, the book of Exodus, to discover a powerful picture of the Gospel. In Exodus 12–13 , God delivers His people from slavery through the Passover, revealing a truth that still gives us hope today: God saves sinners through faith in a substitute sacrifice . In this message, we walk through the story of the first Passover and uncover how...

In this week’s message from our Set Free series, we walk through Exodus 11:1–10 and explore a powerful truth: Yahweh is God, and there is no other. As the final plague is announced, God is not only preparing to deliver His people, He is revealing His character in unmistakable ways. This passage highlights two key attributes of God: His justice and His mercy. We see that God is a righteous judge wh...

This week at Cross Community Church, Elder Pastor Brian Phillips brings the message “When Obedience Meets Opposition” as we continue in our Set Free series through the book of Exodus. The sermon walks through Exodus 5, 6, and part of chapter 7 as Moses and Aaron obey God’s command to confront Pharaoh and call for the release of the Israelites. In this passage, we see that faithful obedience does n...

In Exodus 3:11–4:31 we see how God works through imperfect people to accomplish His perfect plan. When God calls Moses to lead Israel out of Egypt, Moses responds with excuse after excuse. He questions his qualifications, his message, his influence, and even his ability to speak. Yet with each objection, God redirects Moses’ focus away from his weaknesses and toward the power and presence of the G...

In Part 5 of our Set Free series, we look at Exodus 2:23–3:10 and see God break His silence. After generations of slavery, Israel cries out under the weight of oppression. The question hangs in the air: Has God forgotten His people? This passage reminds us that He has not. God hears. God sees. God knows. Because of His unbreakable covenant promises, He moves to act. In three powerful scenes, we wa...

In Part 4 of our Set Free series, we look at Exodus 2:11 to 22 and see how God prepares a savior before He uses him. Israel is crushed under slavery, and Moses appears to be the perfect deliverer. Raised in Pharaoh’s household and positioned in power, we might expect him to step in and free God’s people. Instead, we find failure, rejection, and forty years in the wilderness. God shapes Moses throu...

Set Free Part 3: A Savior Is Born (Exodus 2:1–10) In the midst of Israel’s slavery, suffering, and fear, God was not absent. While Pharaoh ordered the death of Hebrew baby boys, God was quietly at work raising up a deliverer. In this message from Exodus 2:1–10, we walk through the birth of Moses and see how God’s providence unfolds behind the scenes through ordinary faith and unlikely people. From...

Set Free (Part 2): Yahweh, Not Pharaoh In Exodus 1:8–22, we see a powerful contrast between the fear of Pharaoh and the fear of God. As Pharaoh tightens his grip through oppression and violence, God reveals Himself as the only one truly worthy of fear. Through the faithful obedience of the Hebrew midwives, this passage shows how fearing the Lord leads to wisdom, courage, and blessing—even in the f...

In this opening message of our new series through the book of Exodus, we begin where the story begins. Exodus 1:1–7 serves as a powerful prologue that links God’s promises in Genesis to His redemptive work that is about to unfold. Far more than a list of names or historical details, this passage reveals the faithful and providential character of God. In Set Free Part 1, we explore how God sovereig...

Why do bad things happen? It is one of the biggest and most personal questions people ask, and one that often feels impossible to answer when suffering hits close to home. In this final message of the Big Questions, Bigger God series, we turn to Genesis 3 to see how the Bible does not just explain the origin of evil, but reveals God’s redemptive plan to overcome it. While Scripture does not give u...

Is Jesus truly God—or just a good moral teacher? In Week 2 of Big Questions, Bigger God , we tackle one of the most important questions anyone can ask: Is Jesus the true God? In this message, we walk through Scripture to see how Jesus not only claimed to be God through His teaching, but also demonstrated it through His actions, His miracles, and the fulfillment of prophecy. We examine why Jesus ac...

Why do Christians believe there is only one way to salvation? Isn’t that claim narrow, intolerant, or outdated? In this opening message of our Big Questions, Bigger God series, we address one of the most controversial questions of the Christian faith and answer it from the full counsel of Scripture. This message explores why salvation is found through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone by examining...
