In this episode, David and Orah unpack the rise of meanness in our culture, inspired by David Brooks’ How America Got Mean (The Atlantic). They dive into why sadness often turns to outrage, how social media has made us “drunk on anger,” and what it looks like to be people of kindness and conviction in a divided world.

Every believer has two callings: one general and one specific. Our general calling is to love God, love people, pray, share the Good News, and worship. Our specific calling is where God has uniquely placed us: as teachers, creatives, builders, parents, business owners, missionaries, etc. Pastor David reminds us that our daily work isn’t just physical, but that it’s spiritual too. God has given eac...

Ever been labeled by your past? Called something that stuck, even when it shouldn’t have? In this powerful message, Pastor David unpacks how names and words shape our identity, and how sin tries to rename us with shame, failure, and fear. But the good news of the Gospel is this: Jesus gives you a new name. To learn more about Cross Points, check out our website:http://crosspointschurch.comTo stay...

What do you really desire from God? We’re called to reflect the glory of God to a dark and desperate world.

Your tastes change over time: whether it's foods you once found unappealing that's now one of your favorite things, or a hobby you thought wasn't for you that you now enjoy everyday; our tastes can change, and that includes our spiritual tastes. This week Pastor David talks about just that: how we need to cultivate our tastes, not for the world, but to be more in tune to the Gospel and...

God calls us to think beyond today, and to build a faith that outlives us. Today, we look through Psalm 145:4 and Psalm 22:30-31 to see how Scripture calls every generation to praise God’s mighty works and pass on spiritual wealth. Through the story of King David’s vision for the temple, the intentionality of Susanna Wesley, and even the legacy of families like the Rothschilds, we see a timeless t...

What are you living for? Everyone puts their hope in something, a new job, a relationship, stability, or just getting through the next deadline. But Hebrews reminds us that fragile hopes will always let us down. The question isn’t if you have hope; it’s whether your hope will hold when life presses in. In this message, Pastor Matt Shirley from Park City Church unpacks Hebrews 10:23–25 and 1 Thessa...

Life can feel like a grind; stress, criticism, and bad news pile up, leaving us starved for encouragement. But the Bible reminds us that encouragement isn’t optional—it’s a spiritual necessity. Hebrews 10:24–25 calls us to “spur one another on” and to keep meeting together, lifting each other up as the Day of Christ approaches. Pastor David shares how encouragement is more than a kind word. That e...

In Hebrews 10:25, we’re told to “not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Today’s message is all about the Holy Habit of meeting together — not for attendance’s sake, but for spiritual survival.

There’s a war happening, and it’s invisible. But make no mistake, it’s real. And it’s personal. The Bible says the devil prowls like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. But you weren’t made to be prey. You were made to stand. In this message, Pastor David dives deep into the schemes of the enemy—distraction, derailment, and destruction, and shows how believers can resist the devil and s...

There’s a war going on, and it’s not visible, but it’s very real. In Part 3 of The Invisible War, Pastor David Jones dives deep into the enemy’s strategy to distract your focus, derail your purpose, and destroy your calling. Using David’s fall in 2 Samuel 11 and 12 as a powerful example, we see how one moment of boredom led to compromise, cover-up, and ultimately collapse. But it didn’t end there....

There’s a battle raging, and it’s not just around you, it’s within you. In Part 2 of The Invisible War, Pastor David unpacks Satan’s Three-Step Strategy to take you out: Distract your focus, Derail your purpose, and Destroy your calling. Drawing from the life of David, this message reveals how comfort and distraction can slowly lead to sin and shame. But it doesn’t stop there, because our God is a...

In Part 1 of a new series The Invisible War, guest speaker Bo Gerken from Living Proof Church challenges us to walk in extreme faith, the kind of faith that trusts God in our weakness and forgives others freely, even when it doesn’t personally benefit us.
