Crosspoint Baptist Church Sermons

Luke 22:47-62 Have for ever experienced betrayal by a friend? It could be said that betrayal is just part of the human experience. However, it doesn't make it any easier knowing that does it? Betrayal hurts. No one understood betrayal better than Jesus. So, how did Jesus handle betrayal? And how should we respond when we are betrayed? Listen this week as we find answers to those questions and cont...

1 Cor 15:1-28 The resurrection is an event that stands at the center of Christianity. If the resurrection never happened, we are the most pitiable of people according to the apostle Paul. If Jesus is not alive, our hope is in vain. So, how can we be sure of this event? What hope do we really have that Jesus rose from the dead? Listen this week as we consider those important questions and more.

Mark 11:1-11 When we think of Palm Sunday we probably think of those who were waving palm branches and saying "hosanna!" How does Jesus go from being welcomed into Jerusalem being hailed as King to being hung on a cross 5 days later? Listen this week as we consider their motives, and perhaps even our motives at times.

Luke 22:35-46 Have you ever been tempted to quit something before? Perhaps it wasn't something particularly important, or maybe it was. But you know that feeling is only amplified in response to the difficulty that lies before you. In our passage today we find Jesus anticipating the greatest horror imaginable - becoming sin and bearing the wrath of God. So, how did He deal with this temptation, an...

Luke 22:20-34 Have you ever made a promise to do something only to find out later that you could not keep that promise? Maybe it was something trivial. However, you likely haven't made any promises to die for someone recently. That's exactly what we see Peter promise to Jesus at the last supper. What should we say about Peter's desire to be faithful? And how should we view our own responsibility t...

Luke 22:1-22 When you think of the last supper, do you think about all the good Jesus would do at the cross? You might look at the cross and just see all the pain and sadness Jesus would endure. However, there was a joy ahead of Him that perhaps only He could see. So, what was He about to accomplish? And what would His accomplishment mean for you and I today? We seek to answer those questions this...

Luke 21:20-38 When we look at the prophecies in the Bible, particularly ones by Jesus, there can be a lot of confusion or perhaps even anxiety at times. What do we do with these prophecies? And how should we respond to them? Should we be worried that the world could end at any time? Our response will really depend upon our perspective. So, what should our perspective be? Listen this week as we con...

Luke 21:5-19 Having the right perspective can be a very important quality. Take, for example, the second coming of Jesus. If you knew when Jesus was returning, do you think that would impact how you live? Well, we may not know the exact day but we certainly know what the outcome of that day will be. Jesus will return and be victorious over sin and evil. So what does that mean for your life? We con...

Luke 20:39-21:4 If we would ask a group a people "Who is Jesus?" we would probably get a number of different answers. Perhaps the recent superbowl ad campaign would be the most obvious example of one such opinion which could be summarized with, "Jesus understands what we experience in life." Was this really His only intent in coming to earth? What did Jesus really say about Himself? We examine tho...

2 Cor 3 Do you realize that if you are a child of God you have instant access to God Himself? Listen this week as we consider that truth with Pastor Caleb.

2 Cor 5:14-21 Have you ever spilled something on a valuable item and stained it? You know that feeling of dread as you watch the liquid soak into the material. Stains are often permanent. However, we're told that we have actually been permanently affected, or "stained," by sin. So, what hope is there that we could ever be recovered or cleaned? That hope is not in us. It is found in Jesus Christ. L...

Luke 20:19-38 Competition is something we see all over the place. We see it in sports, politics, and even our work place. However, there are some competitions that just aren't worth having. Can you imagine a child challenging Michael Jordan to a basketball game? It would hardly be a competition. In the same way we see the Pharisees challenging Jesus. Let's just say, it was hardly a competition. Yo...

Luke 19:45-20:18 Today we are going to look at authority. We understand that authority has different realms. To have authority in one realm does not necessarily permit authority in another realm. A medical doctor may have authority to walk into an operating room, but not the White House. Jesus on the other hand has authority over all realms. So, how did people respond to Jesus' authority? We look...

Luke 19:28-44 We are not likely to understand what it's like to have a king. In America we have leaders, but they do not function as the kings of old did. There was great expectation for a king during Jesus' time. What would this King be like though? And how should He be treated? We'll look at how the people responded to Jesus. However, how should we respond to this King? Listen this week as we co...

Luke 19:11-27 Have you ever found yourself impatiently waiting on something? Perhaps it was something trivial like waiting for previews to end before the start of a movie. However, in Jesus' day the people were waiting for something much more important - The coming Kingdom. Waiting can be hard. So what do we do while we wait? Jesus is coming back. Will you be ready?

Luke 19:1-10 In Luke chapter 18 we saw a blind man seek out the Lord Jesus. This week we see a tax collector seek Him. Listen as we consider the differences in these two accounts. Have you been changed by the Savior?

John 1:14-16 Jesus has come! However, contrary to how the world views Him, He came with a greater purpose than simply showing us how to be kind. He came to bring light light and life. So, if Jesus is the light of the world what does really that mean for you? Listen this week as we conclude our special Christmas series.

John 1:9-13 We're all experienced things that are comparable or similar to something else. Perhaps it's knockoff Coke or generic Oreos. It looks pretty good until you taste it. Then you quickly realize it's not the real thing. There are many things in life that we mistakenly think will bring us happiness or joy, but there is only one place where we will find true joy. Listen this week as we consid...

John 1:6-8 Have you ever found yourself wishing for light? Perhaps you experienced hurricane Sandy and know what it was like to lose electricity for nearly a week or more for some. You know what it's like to have the electricity and lights come back on, and the excitement that goes with that. Today we read about the promise of light, the Lord Jesus. Listen as we consider the hope that is found in...

John 1:1-5 Light is something that most of us probably associate with Christmas. Whether it's Christmas lights, candles, or star decorations we really see symbols of light all around us this time of year. Of course we know that light is not appreciated without darkness. So, what did it mean for Jesus to be given the title, "Light of the World?" What darkness did He bring light to? Listen this week...

Luke 18:35-43 Have you ever been without your sight, or had it altered in some way? It can be a disconcerting feeling. In our passage today we see a man that has no physical sight, but he sees something in the Lord Jesus and has a faith that pleases God. Do you have that kind of faith? Listen this week as we look at how Jesus deals with those who may lack physical vision, but have spiritual vision...

Col 3:12-17 We sure do put a lot of time and work into thanksgiving dinner. We'll spend hours in the kitchen preparing sides, setting the table, and cleaning the house. However, do you prepare your heart to thank God? That's really what thanksgiving is all about, right? So, how will you prepare for thanksgiving? And more importantly, how does God want you to prepare? Listen this week as we seek to...

Luke 18:31-34 When we know something bad is going to happen, it changes the way we feel and act. We might even try to avoid it if possible. When we look at the Lord Jesus anticipating His death we don't see Him filled with fear. He certainly wanted the cup of God's wrath to pass from Him, but He was willing to obey God above all else. So, what did it mean for Jesus to know he was going to die and...

Luke 18:9-30 When we think of those who will be in Heaven perhaps we would all have different opinions. We tend to grade evil on a scale that is somewhat inconsistent and varies by circumstance. So, who will be in heaven? And perhaps more importantly, who won't be in heaven? Listen this week as Jesus warns about the kind of person that will not be in heaven.

Luke 18:1-8 Sometimes when we pray we may feel like we are in the darkness. Perhaps there is a circumstance when there is no hope or we feel like God is silent. How do we think about our circumstances? And more importantly, how do we think about prayer during these trials? Jesus helps us to understand these difficult questions in our passage today. Listen as we take a look at the parable of the pe...
