Crosspoint Baptist Church Sermons

2 Peter 1:5-7 Sanctification is one of those words that perhaps you've heard many times, but never completely understood. It's easy to reference and not really know what it looks like in your own life. However, if you've been a Christian for more than a few weeks you've probably come to understand that while there is great joy in following Jesus, it's not always easy. It takes hard work and persev...

Rev 3:14-22 This week we look at what Jesus calls the church that is "lukewarm." Perhaps you've heard of this term before as it applies to spiritual things. However, do you know what it means? And do you know what makes a church lukewarm toward Jesus? It takes some careful self-examination. Thankfully Jesus helps us to diagnose the problem and gives us the cure to being lukewarm. Listen this week...

We don't like to tell ourselves 'no,' do we? It's pretty natural for us to say 'yes' to ourselves because of our desire to please ourselves. Yet, Jesus' message was to take up your cross and follow Him. So, what does it look like to deny yourself, or to say 'no' to yourself. Listen this week as we learn about the spiritual discipline of saying 'no.'

Rev 3:7-13 What does it mean to be faithful? Well certainly we could think of being faithful to someone else in terms of their own will power. However, what Jesus is telling us is that a faithful church is faithful because of the One they serve, not because they try hard. So, would Jesus see you as one of His faithful ones?

2 Peter 1:1-4 As we begin this letter from Peter we get to witness the marvelous transformation that took place in Peter's life to take him from being a simple fisherman to becoming a godly man that is full of wisdom. Peter's desire for us is to know God and His truths in the most intimate way possible. But how do we do that? Do we just learn more information from the Bible? We answer those questi...

Rev 3:1-6 What does it mean to be dead? We could all probably come up with some different definitions. However, when it comes to the church there is only One person who can make the diagnosis of whether a church is alive or dead - the Lord Jesus. So, how is your church doing? And is there any coming back from death? Listen this week as we answer those questions and continue our study in the book o...

James 5:16-20 We conclude our study in the book of James by looking at more areas of our lives where we must direct our attention away from ourselves. We consider confessing our sins to each other, praying with a humble stance, and finally seeking those who are wandering.

Rev 2:18-29 This week we consider the church of Thyatira. This church was corrupt according to Jesus. What does a corrupt church look like? Don't we all struggle with sin in the church? And who is this Jezebel that is referenced? We consider those questions and much more this week as we continue our study in the book of Revelation.

James 5:12-15 As we approach the end of our study in James we see a number of ways that we can be tempted to turn inward. It is just so easy for us to be focused on self and James reminds us that real faith is not focused on self. It is humbly focused on God. Join as we see some ways that God call us to turn our eyes upon Him.

Rev 2:12-17 Compromise is usually a word we associate with a positive connotation. However, there are things that are so critical that we ought to never compromise. This week we look at a church that had compromised on things that they should have held fast. So, what is really important to God? We consider that this week as we continue our study in the book of Revelation.

James 5:7-12 This week we consider the virtue of patience. Patience is really something that we can all struggle with at different stages of our lives. It is not always natural for us to have great patience. And the more pressure that surrounds us, the more patience is required. But what does it really look like for a Christian to have patience? Are we talking about being patient while our food is...

Heb 9:11-28 Christ must die. That seems like such a strange thing to say. Why would God have to die? Wasn't there any other way? Listen this week as we answer those questions and remember His sacrifice.

James 5:1-6 What does it mean to be rich? Are you rich? And how do riches affect our affection for God? We consider that and more as we continue our study in the book of James.

Rev 2:8-11 Persecution, troubles, trials. These are some words that we probably don't want to hear. However, for the Christian they're undoubtedly unavoidable. Jesus spoke at length about these topics. So, it's important for us to think about these things and to consider how God wants us to respond to them. Listen this week as we continue our study in the book of revelation.

James 4:13-17 Did you buy anything this week? Did you make any plans to travel? Did you know that even mundane decisions can reflect whether you are a prideful person? Well God is looking to help us examine our own hearts as we consider the topic of pride this week. Join us as Pastor Andrew continues his study in the book of James.

Rev 2:1-7 Marriage is supposed to be a beautiful example of love and unity. A healthy marriage is a wonderful thing to see. Do you want to know what makes a marriage look ugly though? - A loveless marriage. Love is really the foundation for this God-given institution. Want to know what else desperately requires love? The church. What happens though when love is absent from the church? Today we'll...

James 4:11-12 When you think about other Christians, what are your feelings toward them? Or perhaps a better question is, what do you say about other Christians when they're not around? This week James is going to address the issue of gossip and slander. Listen as Pastor Andrew addresses the important issue of not speaking evil in the church.

Rev 1:1-20 If you have children you know what it's like to get your kids to listen to you. Sometimes they can simply become distracted, but other times they just don't pay attention to the counsel they receive. It doesn't stop at childhood though, does it? Many wives would attest to the desire for husbands who listen better! We really spend much of our lives learning how to listen. So, as we begin...

1 Tim 4:1-11 Discipline isn't a word most of us get excited to hear, is it? We usually associate it with doing things wrong and getting punished. However, God's Word tells us that there is joy in discipline for the Christian. How can that be? We consider that this week as Pastor Sam reminds us of this important truth.

Rom 8:1-11 Last week we thought about the internal battle that each Christian faces with the flesh. This week we consider how the Lord Jesus has already won that battle for us, and what He has given us to continue to battle the flesh - a new heart and the Spirit of God.

Rom 7:13-25 Have you ever thought about why it's so hard to keep the promises you make to yourself? Certainly the new year can remind you of that. What is it within us that wars against us (especially when it comes to spiritual things)? We consider that question today and also the solution to our struggles as Pastor Andrew begins a special 2-part series.

Luke 2:1-20 When we're young we often don't know which stories are worth telling. Children will tell stories about very ordinary events with the hopes that everyone will experience the same level of excitement as they have. In Luke 2 we really do hear a story that is worth telling, and worth spreading. So, what have you done with this glorious message?

Luke 1:39-56 Where does real joy come from? This time of year we might think of gifts, lights, experiences, etc. However, we all know that as soon as the lights come down and the wrapping paper gets thrown away that kind of joy goes away with it. So, where can we find real, lasting joy? We read in Luke's gospel that real joy comes through simple faith.

James 4:7-10 How do you think about getting to know and love God better? Do you get close to Him when you experience an intense emotion during a worship song? Or is when you finish your Bible-In-A-Year plan? What does the Bible really have to say about intimacy with God, and what might that reflect about your relationship with Him? We consider that and more as Pastor Andrew continues his study in...

Luke 1:26-38 A promise is a beautiful thing. And certainly it is even more beautiful when it comes true! There was a promise that God made thousands of years before He would fulfill it. But would His people be ready to see it when the time came? We consider Mary's response to God's promise as we continue our Christmas series this week.
