Pastor Jim Gane Sunday, March 6, 2022 How to Live Differently

Pastor Bruce Garner Sunday, February 27, 2022 Jesus said in Matthew 24 that two contrary things were indicators of the end: people’s love would grow cold and the gospel would be preached. So let’s love God and people. Let’s tell people the good news. And let’s remember that evil will not win in the end.

Pastor Bruce Garner Sunday, February 20, 2022 At the risk of being repetitive, the next passage in 1 Peter left me in awe AGAIN, just like the one from last Sunday. What God did to save us is even greater than we think! I can't wait to open the Bible again and show you what Peter says!

Pastor Bruce Garner Sunday, February 13, 2022 Whether you have been here for many years or a single week, if there is anything I or the congregation can do to serve you and your family, please let me know! As we continue to our journey through 1 Peter, we are coming to some of the most helpful, encouraging truths in the book. This week, Peter will tell us what to do when our faith in God is being...

Pastor Bruce Garner Sunday, February 6, 2022 Last Sunday we began a journey through 1 Peter, a letter from a pastor comforting scattered, suffering people. It could not be more timely in this strange age of loss, displacement, and unexpected troubles. As he begins his letter, before Peter addresses present suffering, he gives us a view of future glory. It has been there all along, but I was so ent...

Pastor Bruce Garner Sunday, January 30, 2022 Under pressure. Harassed. Mistreated. Have you felt that way recently? Christians in times more difficult that our own received a pastoral letter from Peter, the once-impetuous disciple of Jesus. His purpose was to tell them how to bear up under their difficulties. And he has much to teach them. Peter himself has suffered, and learned, and changed. What...

Pastor Bruce Garner Sunday, January 23, 2022 On Sunday, I will show you in the Bible a third and final habit for spiritual growth. Of the three, it is the one most neglected by Christians, particularly in the last year. Before we open the Bible together, I encourage you to read (or listen) to the book of Ephesians.

Pastor Bruce Garner Sunday, January 16, 2022 The only thing the disciples ever asked Jesus to teach them was how to pray. They saw Him praying, and must have known what it meant to Him. Should we do any less? If you worry that you don't pray for the right things, or that you are not being heard, or wonder if it really makes any difference, please join us for worship this Sunday at 9:00 or 10:30. I...

Pastor Bruce Garner Sunday, January 9, 2022 HOW TO GROW INTO THE PERSON GOD WANTS YOU TO BE Sunday, we will begin a four-week series explaining the basic principles of how God lovingly grows His children into the people He wants us to be. You can grow as much as you want! Every week, I'll provide practical tools and ideas you can put into use immediately.

Pastor Bruce Garner Sunday, January 2, 2022 We will be in Philippians 2, where we are told to “work out our own salvation.” That phrase has confused people, but its meaning is vitally important for you to live the life God has for you in the new year.

Pastor Bruce Garner Sunday, December 26, 2021 I am excited to tell you about the depth of the mercy and love of God from an ENTIRELY different place in the Bible. Jonah is not really a "fish story" and its message is as challenging and comforting as anything in all of Scripture!

Pastor Rob Lyons Sunday, December 19, 2021 Matthew 1:18–25 Jesus is GOD. Jesus is WITH US. Jesus is here to SAVE US.

Pastor Bruce Garner Sunday, December 12, 2021 As Christmas nears, I've been reading my Bible noticing how OFTEN the coming of Jesus to live among us is mentioned. Sometimes it's subtle, but once you see it, you notice it EVERYWHERE. Sunday, I'll show you from Paul's letter to Titus what a difference the arrival of Jesus should make in your everyday life. As I will try to tell you Sunday, the grace...

Bruce Garner Sunday, December 5, 2021 We are excited about deepening our love for Jesus this December and welcoming many of our friends, family, and neighbors to our services. By God’s grace, they will put their trust in Jesus and be saved! Let’s pray together and serve together to share the gospel.

Pastor Bruce Garner Sunday, November 28, 2021 I have been part of CrossPoint in some way since I was a college student, and I have never been more excited or grateful about what God is doing in our church family. People are coming to faith, growing to maturity, bringing friends to church, serving others... Wow! God is doing more than I can tell you and more than I can possibly know. My fellow past...

Pastor Byron Morales Sunday, November 21, 2021 Sunday we will take some time to reflect on the goodness of God and be grateful. An “attitude of gratitude” makes all the difference in the world!

Pastor Bruce Garner Sunday, November 14th, 2021 CULTIVATING WISDOM This Sunday we will conclude our series "God's Will and Wisdom" and I am EXCITED to open my Bible to Proverbs 1 with you! To grow wise, there are things you need to KNOW and things you need to DO. Proverbs 1 (the foundational chapter of the chief book dedicated to wisdom in the Bible) will tell us ALL of it. Want to enjoy God? Your...

Pastor Jim Gane November 7, 2021 On Sunday, we will continue our series on God’s will and wisdom. It has been exciting to meet new people every Sunday. If I can help you get connected or answer a question, please let me know. We are here to serve! God is blessing our church. Thank you for being part of what He is doing here.

Pastor Bruce Garner Sunday, October 31, 2021 HOW DO WE SETTLE THE CONTROVERSIAL QUESTIONS? That is the big question this Sunday as we continue our "God's Will and Wisdom" series. Read Romans 14 a few times before we gather on Sunday and invite a friend. I think we will ALL be both encouraged and challenged by what God's Word says.

Pastor Bruce Garner Sunday, October 24th, 2021 HOW CAN YOU KNOW WHAT GOD WANTS YOU TO DO? I have been asked more questions about morality, ethics, and how to know God's will in the last eighteen months than I have in the last several years combined. That's why on Sunday we are beginning a new four-week series about how to find God's will and discover His wisdom for any and every situation.

Pastor Bruce Garner Sunday, October 17th, 2021 On Sunday, we finally complete our journey around the table in God’s family and arrive at the Parent Chair. Who sits here? What does it take? What difference does it make? The answers to these questions change the course of human lives and help fill up heaven! My prayer and commitment is that we will ALL grow to the stature of Christ (Ephesians 4:13).

Pastor Bruce Garner, October 10th, 2021 I have been thrilled to hear so many good reports about last Sunday! We will try to keep the momentum going this weekend as we talk about what the Bible refers to as spiritual "Young Adults." Your "youth" is the season in the Christian life where you begin to make a difference in the world! EVERY stage of the Christian life has its joys, but spiritual Young...

Pastor Jim Gane Sunday, October 3rd, 2021 As we keep “moving around the table” toward spiritual maturity, this week we will consider the Child Chair. The Bible and experience both tell me that a surprising number of Christians will sit in this chair far longer than they should! However long you have been in church, I hope you’ll join us for worship this Sunday and listen carefully. When it comes t...

Pastor Rob Lyons Sunday, September 26th, 2021 THE INFANT CHAIR We expect the blessings to continue on Sunday, when we look at the first chair at God’s family table. Jesus said that we must be born again, and when we are, we are infants in God’s family! We are fully alive, and the cause of the family’s joy! Babies bring a lot of joy to families. They also give and need a lot of love. Whether you ar...

Pastor Bruce Garner // Sunday, September 2021 Table Talk is a series to explain the stages of spiritual growth found in the Bible, from unbelief to full maturity. Sunday, we will examine the Chair where we all begin: the Unbeliever. If you are NOT entirely sure if you have the forgiveness of your sins and eternal life, this is THE Sunday to listen carefully to what Jesus has to say to you. If you...
