Crosspoint Baptist Church Sermons

Gen 22:1-19 If you are a father and you have a son there is no doubt you can see the special relationship that exists between a father and a son. You likely would be willing to give your life for your son a thousand times over if his life was in jeopardy. So, as we look at the account of Abraham and his son Isaac, we begin to understand the great cost that was involved there. God stopped that sacr...

2 Tim 1:1-7 Mothers sure do alot for their families. We could think of their work around the home, their care for their family, etc. However, Christian mothers have something far greater to give to their children. They can give the gift of Christ. When you think about it though, God has given that responsibility to all of us. So, how are you giving Christ to your family? And what about your church...

Luke 12:22-34 If you or a loved one has struggled with anxiety, this week's message will be a tremendous help to you. Last week we learned about the foolishness of riches. The Lord has so much wisdom. Think about that this week as He instructs us about the cure for anxiety. He was not unaware of the mental and emotional challenges that plague many of us. It might seem uncompassionate to hear the w...

Luke 12:13-21 How do you think about money? Do you live and breathe to buy new things? Are you content? Or are you perhaps averse to any kind of possessions that exceed the absolute essentials? You might be asking yourself, "what would Jesus say about how I handle my money?" We look at that question this week.

Acts 2:22-39 We've all probably witnessed hopeless events before. You might think of a losing football team, a foregone trial, etc. Sometimes in a moment everything can change and it can shock everyone. We might something like, "it's not over til it's over!" This is exactly what happened after Jesus died. On the third day He would rise claiming victory over death! So, what does that mean for you a...

Mark 11:1-11 It's interesting how this day is called Palm Sunday. The palm is probably the least important element of the account we have in Mark 11. However, it does remind us of the kingship of Jesus. So, why are they treating Him like a king? And was He truly a king? Have you ever thought about what that means for your life? Pastor Sam answers those questions this week.

Luke 12:1-12 Last week we looked at the danger of hypocrisy and what it means for us spiritually. What are we to do to cure religious hypocrisy? This week we consider how Jesus answered that question.

Luke 11:33-54 You're probably heard people say things like, "I don't go to church because it is full of hypocrites." There can certainly be some truth to that. In some ways we all fail to be everything that we hope to be. However, Jesus had to address something worse than that. What would He say to someone who is claiming to be something that they are not? Find out this week as we hear how Jesus a...

Luke 11:29-32 Have you ever heard someone say something like, "I'm not as bad as ____" and you can fill in the blank. We tend to compare ourselves to people that are worse than us and think that we are not so bad. People in Jesus' day did the same thing. Wonder what Jesus had to say to them? Listen this week as we consider Jesus' words to His generation.

Luke 11:5-13  We learned about prayer last week. However, have you ever considered how faith is tied to prayer? Do you pray in faith? We consider that question this week as we continue our series in the gospel of Luke.

Luke 11:1-4  Prayer is one of those topics that probably comes up as an area of weakness for many Christians. Can you honestly say you enjoy prayer? Do you pray often? Do you actually know how to pray? Listen this week as we consider those questions and continue our study in the gospel of Luke.

There are plenty spheres of life where desperation is not an attractive quality. Think about dating or looking for a job. Not exactly the place you want to appear desperate! However, there are times when desperation is exactly the right emotion. Listen this week as we look at how Jesus encountered a desperate man.

Have you ever met someone and thought, "This is not likely someone to get saved?'' We might know theologically that this is not true. However, sometimes we just have a tendency to think like humans, and not like God. If you had met Simon Peter in the Bible you might have thought that he was one of these unlikely converts. Listen this week as we see how Jesus encountered this man.

From our youth we all naturally don't like authority. We can see this in childhood and all throughout the human life. Just consider the lawless behavior throughout the United States during so-called protests over The past few years. So what should we do when we are confronted with the authority of the Lord Jesus? Where did His authority come from? And should we listen to our own rebellious attitud...

There is no doubt that we can all see that the world is not doing better than it was in years past, particularly in the United States. There is more suicide, more mental illness, more wars, etc. However, we are wealthier than ever. Sexual liberty proponents have told of that we can be free now. So, you would think that we would be happier. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Listen this week as Je...

We have so much to be thankful for. Yet, it is easy to forget about these things. Let's be reminded today by the psalmist about the most important reason we should be thankful.

We have expectations for what a funeral for an important person would look like. Between the floral arrangements, the setting, the eulogies, the grave site, etc. We would expect something ornate and with pomp. However, would you believe that the most important person in all of history died a criminal's death with little recognition? This is exactly what the Lord Jesus experienced. Join us today as...

If we asked a group of people, "what is the greatest thing you can do for a child?'' we would probably get a bunch of different answers. However, if we asked God that question, what would He say? Listen this week as we honor the mothers God gave to us and receive instruction for how to guide the children in our lives.

You don't need to look far to see that there is sin in the world. However, it is also sad to say that we see sin in the church today. James says that we sin when our hearts are drawn away from their own desires. So, we don't need to look to the world to see sin. We see it in our own hearts. It's our human nature. However, Jesus was also human. This week we look at how He responded to temptation by...

No one can deny that John the Baptist was a unique person. Some people in his day would have probably said that he was just plain odd. However, he had a message to preach and it was of critical importance.

Any parent can relate to the idea that we tend to think our kids are the greatest. We celebrate their athletic abilities, their academic achievements sand their various charming characteristics. However, we know that they are not perfect. There was a child that was perfect though. It was the child Christ Jesus. Listen this week as we look at this perfect child.

Have you ever considered what the resurrection of Jesus Christ means for your life?

Have you ever been at a large event and struggled to see from a great distance? Perhaps a concert or a sports game. There's an excitement in the air that helps to make up for it though. That was the scene when Jesus entered into Jerusalem the week before his crucifixion. We can discuss their misplaced expectations, but there's still a question for you and I - Are you excited about the Lord Jesus?

God is on trial. An innocent man is condemned. Why would this ever be taking place. Please be reminded this week about the greatest truth in all of human history; that God stood in our place.

At some point in your life you've probably had the experience of meeting an important person or a celebrity. It's a strange experience to be in front of that person. There were two people we read about in Luke's gospel that were waiting for an important person. They were waiting to meet the Savior. This week we look at the preparations they made to meet Jesus. Are you ready to meet Jesus?
