Cross Point Church Podcast

When was the last time you underestimated something? As we learn fromweek 11 of our series on the book of Acts, living a life of hypocrisy is more dangerous than we realize. The good news is that God is also much bigger and closer than we realize, and He holds the keys to freedom! Pastor James Savage unpacks the story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 4:32-5:11. While many assume this story is about...

When you hang around people long enough, you learn what they care about.  When Peter and John faced opposition in Acts 4, they didn’t ask God to remove their problems. They prayed for something even greater: boldness. Instead of choosing comfort, they asked for courage to keep following Jesus no matter the cost. What do your prayers reveal about what you truly want? In week 10 of our se...

Have you ever wished you could go back and rewrite a chapter of your life? In Acts 4, Peter finds himself standing before the same religious leaders connected to one of his greatest failures. Just weeks earlier, he denied even knowing Jesus. Now, under pressure once again, Peter responds with courage and conviction. What changed? This message explores how God redeems our failures, transforms our h...

Have you ever felt stuck in the same cycle, making the same mistakes, or carrying the same struggles no matter how hard you try to change? In week eight of our Acts series, Here for Good, Pastor Dwan Hill explores Peter’s message following the miraculous healing of a man who had never walked before. While the crowd focused on the miracle, Peter pointed them to something even deeper: the powe...

In week six of our journey through Acts, we encounter a moment where Peter and John meet a man who had spent his entire life waiting for someone to help him. What follows is a powerful reminder that God often works through ordinary people who are willing to make themselves available. Many of us focus on what we lack: time, resources, influence, confidence, or experience. But Acts 3:1-10 challenges...

Peter didn’t know how people would respond to his first sermon, but thanks to the Holy Spirit, it made quite an impact! In Acts 2:37-47, he finishes preaching the first sermon in church history, and the response is IMMEDIATE. Thousands of people are convicted, repent, and put their trust in Jesus. But this moment isn’t just about a crowd making a decision. It’s about what happens...

Are you afraid of saying the wrong thing when talking about Jesus? Many of us overthink sharing our faith because we feel unqualified, nervous, or unsure of what to say. But in Acts 2:13-36, we see Peter preach the very first sermon in church history, not through perfect preparation or confidence in himself, but through the power of the Holy Spirit. In week five of our study through the book of Ac...

Have you ever wished God would just make things clearer? Most of us want certainty before we take a step forward, but faith rarely works that way. In Acts 2:1-12, the followers of Jesus are waiting, uncertain, and without clarity when suddenly the Holy Spirit moves in a way they never expected. In week four of our series through the book of Acts, Pastor Kevin Queen explores why God often gives us...

In this powerful Mother’s Day conversation, we hear from one of Cross Point’s resilient moms, worship leader Cheryl Stark. Cheryl talks to Rea Queen sharing her story of grief, motherhood, fear, loss, and ultimately discovering the faithfulness of God through every season.  This conversation speaks to anyone who has wrestled with anxiety, grief, disappointment, fear, or the feeling that...

Have you ever felt stuck trying to make the  right  decision? Whether it’s about your future, relationships, or something weighing on you right now; how do you know which way to go? In Acts 1:12–26, the disciples face a major decision. But before they act, they pray, seek God’s Word, and move forward together in faith. What if the way they made decisions is *exactly* what we’ve been miss...

What do you do when God asks you to trust Him… but nothing makes sense? In Acts 1:4–8, Jesus gives His disciples a confusing and even dangerous command: go back to Jerusalem, the very place that just crucified Him, and wait. No plan. No explanation. Just trust. In week two of our journey through the book of Acts, Pastor James Savage unpacks a tension we all feel: we often want clarity, but Jesus i...

What is keeping you stuck right now? So many of us want more from life; more purpose, more meaning, more fulfillment – but we often stay where it feels safe. The problem? Comfort can quietly keep us stagnant. When we let our flesh or feelings lead, we end up empty, wondering why nothing is changing. In this message, Pastor Kevin Queen walks through Acts 1:1–3 to kick off a brand-new, year-lo...

Have you ever been let down by someone you really trusted? That kind of pain does not just hurt in the moment. It can shape how you see every relationship moving forward. It can make it hard to trust people again, even when you want to. Walking through Proverbs 18:13 and other key Scriptures, Dr. Henry Cloud unpacks a powerful truth. Trust is not optional. Trust fuels every part of life and every...

In this episode of the Anything’s Possible Podcast, Pastor Kevin Queen, Pastor Josh Reed, and New Testament scholars Dr. Adam Winn and Dr. Jim Miller unpack the surprising ending of Mark 16. As they explore the final verses of Mark’s Gospel, the conversation tackles one of the most debated questions in Scripture: Did Mark really end at verse eight? And if so, what does that mean for our faith, our...

Have you ever felt like you’ve messed up too much… gone too far… or disqualified yourself from God’s grace? Easter tells a different story.  Pastor Kevin Queen unpacks Mark 16 where we don’t just see an empty tomb; we see a personal invitation! When the angel says, “Go tell the disciples  and Peter ,” it’s a powerful reminder that even the one who failed Jesus wasn’t written off. He was...

Have you ever taken an awareness test? It’s possible to be looking right at something, and still miss it. In Mark 15:16–47, we see a sobering moment surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus. The very people carrying out His death didn’t fully realize who He was until it was too late. Their awareness came after the fact, but what about ours? Pastor Kevin Queen walks through this passage and invites us...

Have you ever felt the tension of wanting to do what’s right… but also wanting to be accepted? In Mark 15:1–15, we see Pontius Pilate caught in that exact struggle. Faced with the truth about Jesus, Pilate chooses to please the crowd instead; releasing a guilty man and sending an innocent Savior to the cross. In week 44 of our journey through the Gospel of Mark, Pastor Dustin Aagaard walks through...

Have you ever felt the sting of betrayal or the weight of loneliness? In Mark 14:43–72, we see some of the most painful moments in Jesus’ final hours. Judas betrays Him with a kiss, Peter denies even knowing Him, and the rest of the disciples scatter. Yet even in the face of betrayal, abandonment, and false accusations, Jesus responds with grace, courage, and unwavering love. In week 43 of our jou...

When life doesn’t turn out the way we hoped, what do we do with the disappointment? It’s easy to become bitter, discouraged, or even begin to question God. But what if disappointment isn’t the end of the story? In Mark 14:26–42, Pastor Dustin Aagaard walks through Jesus’ moment in the Garden of Gethsemane, where even Jesus experienced deep sorrow and disappointment. His closest friends fell asleep...

What if one of the most common questions about Christianity is also one of the most misunderstood? In Mark 14:12–25, we step into one of the most significant nights in history; a private dinner that changed everything. What Jesus said and did in that room still shapes millions of lives today.  In this message we will discover that Baptism is not about earning salvation. It’s about obedience....

In week 40 of our series through the Gospel of Mark, Pastor Laurel Bunker walks us through Mark 14:1–11 and the powerful story of a woman who boldly poured out her most valuable possession at the feet of Jesus. While others criticized her, Jesus honored her. What looked wasteful to some was beautiful worship to Him. How are you worshipping Jesus? Are you holding anything back or are you willing to...

Wars. Disasters. Politics. Cultural instability. When the world feels unpredictable, it’s easy to feel anxious, distracted, or spiritually unprepared. In Week 39 of our yearlong journey through the Gospel of Mark, Pastor Kevin walks through Mark 13, where Jesus speaks directly into this tension. While no one knows the timing of His return, Jesus makes one thing clear: we don’t have to live in fear...

In week 38 of our journey through the Gospel of Mark, Pastor Kevin Queen teaches from Mark 12:35–44 and invites us to reflect on a powerful question:  How are we magnifying Jesus with our lives? We’re all focused on something; our worries, our pain, our success, our opinions, or our hopes for the future. And what we focus on is what we magnify. In this message, we see how Jesus calls us to li...

When was the last time you audited your own heart? As we enter the Awaken season, this message invites us to pause and take stock of where we’re at. When life gets heavy, it reveals what we’re truly plugged into. What we love, trust, and run to in moments of pressure often exposes the condition of our hearts. In Mark 12:28–34, Jesus names the greatest commandment: to love God with our whole...

We all reach moments where avoiding the question is no longer an option. In Mark 12, Jesus tells a parable that forces one unavoidable decision into the open:  What are we going to do about Him? In week 35 of our journey through the Gospel of Mark, Pastor James Savage breaks down the parable of the tenants and exposes a tension we all live with – the desire to control our own lives. Thi...
