CrossPoint Church: Messages

Pastor Bruce Garner // This Sunday, we will look at a few things many Christians believe that are… just… not… TRUE. Like memes on the internet, bad biblical ideas can spread quickly and make a very big difference to your spiritual life. But the TRUTH is transformational for this life and the next. Can’t wait to tell you all about it!

Pastor Bruce Garner // The question I am asked most often is “How do I know if I should…?” People ask this question a thousand different ways, but what they really want to know is WHAT DOES GOD WANT ME TO DO? (About jobs, parents, kids, dating, marriage, etc.) Well, good news! God has NOT left us without guidance! There are very specific answers in His Word about what He wants us to do. If you rea...

Pastor Bruce Garner // WHAT IS HEAVEN LIKE? When I asked you for your tough questions about the Bible and everyday life, I never anticipated one this pleasant: What is HEAVEN like? THAT is a great question, and I can’t wait to answer it! I hope you’ll join me this weekend in a Sunday service: 9:00a, 10:30a or 5:30p. A clear view of heaven can change your life on earth!

Pastor Bruce Garner // YA JUST GOTTA BELIEVE, RIGHT? When faced with tough questions, Christians sometimes say, “You just gotta have faith.” And people who DON'T believe say that’s not nearly good enough. Is there good, reasonable EVIDENCE to believe in God? To trust Him? That’s the topic this Sunday!

Pastor Bruce Garner // Your questions have been amazing, and we will start with the only one I was asked repeatedly: How do I forgive people who hurt me? It’s a big question and your joy is at stake in the answer. An unforgiving attitude can ruin your life. Come hear the wisdom of Scripture and some of the real life experiences of people who responded to great hurt with even greater forgiveness.

Pastor Bruce Garner // As we wrap up our “Jesus vs. Trouble” series this weekend, we will come to one of my very favorite moments in the life of Jesus. If you’ve ever wondered whether Jesus was making your life tougher than it has to be, come stand beside the disciples and watch Him work. What He taught them will help you. I know this because it has helped me.

Pastor Bruce Garner // JESUS VS. TROUBLE That’s been the theme in our return to Luke’s gospel. But what about when you’re DESPERATE? When you’ve nearly given up hope and ashamed? When life is on the line? That’s what Jesus deals with next in one of the most pressure-packed encounters of His life. Come worship with us, and if you have a friend in need of hope, invite them to come with you!

Pastor Bruce Garner // Last weekend we heard His frightened disciples shout at Jesus in fear in the midst of a deadly storm. Have you been there? I have. Now, faithful Luke, the physician/investigator who gave us the gospel that bears his name tells us what happened when they arrived safely at the other shore. A human storm awaits them: a demon possessed man in terrible anguish confronts Jesus. Wh...

Pastor Bruce Garner // We return to the gospel of Luke to see Jesus get in trouble - and DEAL with it. What He did and what He taught His disciples can change your life.

Pastor Bruce Garner // The news on TV is as bad as ever, but we have GOOD NEWS to tell the world! Jesus crushed death by rising from the grave. The final, most feared enemy is defeated. Invite your friends to remember the death and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus at CrossPoint this year!

Pastor Bruce Garner // We’ve all seen it, and lot of us have done it: six people are out for dinner and they’re all staring straight down, their faces illuminated by their cell phones. They’re together, but alone. News moves at the speed of social media. At least we think it’s news. Millions of people take turns screaming that it’s really “fake news." And your kid/spouse/friend won’t put the phone...

Pastor Bruce Garner // The biblical proverbs can teach us to navigate the tough stuff in life. Even social media. Really! Twitter is up to the second, but wisdom is timeless. If you feel like “modern life” is ruining YOUR life, seek wisdom! I can’t wait to share this and more with you in this series.

Pastor Bruce Garner // I’m always pretty fired up about teaching the Bible - but I’m REALLY excited to revisit the wise, wonderful Proverbs in a second look at a series we are calling “WISDUMB.” You see, the biblical proverbs put you at a crossroads and let you observe life as it REALLY IS. Then you’re invited to make a choice. The choice will either be wise… or dumb. Like you, I’ve done both! Thi...

Ray Comfort - Living Waters // Evangelist, author, and apologetics expert is our guest this weekend in all worship services: invite your friends and family!

Pastor Cecil Maxey // That’s the big idea in all services this weekend. A lot of people will waste their precious life, but you don’t have to be one of them!

Guest Speaker: Pastor Matt Loehr // This weekend we will hear from Matt Loehr, who partners with Love and Respect, which is the best marriage seminar I’ve ever experienced. I’m delighted we can have Matt invest in every couple at CrossPoint. Matt is going to tell us “How To Fix Your Spouse” WITH his wife present! This should be interesting! I cannot encourage you strongly enough to be here and inv...

Pastor Bruce Garner // Beginning with the scandalous fall of Harvey Weinstein, our culture has been both revealed and shaken by the #MeToo movement. As Christians, we cannot afford to be ignorant, indifferent or silent. This weekend, I’ll prayerfully try to shed some biblical light on the issues that are screaming from the headlines. This is a great weekend to invite someone to church. Justice; me...

Pastor Bruce Garner // This weekend we come to the end of our “Growing Up” series, and the last step and proof of spiritual maturity is one seldom explored, easily ignored, and often left to the “professionals.” Don’t do it! Ponder these words from Jesus, and I’ll see you this weekend!

Pastor Bruce Garner // Yup. We got it backwards. I’ll explain this weekend, straight from the Bible. I hope you’ll join us!

Pastor Bruce Garner // I don’t know too many Christians who aren’t dissatisfied with their prayer life at least sometimes. That includes me! As we continue the “Growing Up” series, this week we will learn to pray from Jesus Himself! *How do I know what to pray for? *I kind of feel bad that I pray lot mostly when I’m in trouble *How can I know what God wants me to do *But I get distracted!

Pastor Jim Gane // Here’s the deal: The key to growing is NOT trying harder. God have you grace to TRAIN you to grow up and be godly. THAT’S the journey we are all on at CrossPoint! This weekend we begin a series called GROWING UP. We will dive into the basic elements of spiritual growth, beginning with hearing God through His Word. It ALL begins there. I hope you’ll join us on Saturday at 5:30p o...

Pastor Bruce Garner // God’s grace is one of the biggest ideas in the Bible! I love it. Need it. Depend on it. But WHY does God give us grace? The answer is the key to becoming the person God redeemed you to be. Let’s worship together this weekend and discover the difference that grace can make to us as individuals and as a church family.

Pastor Bruce Garner // I’ll be teaching something you’ve probably heard little about, even if you’ve been following Jesus for a long time. There’s a good reason for that, but this is one of those topics where ignorance is NOT bliss. Before we gather, ponder how you would complete this sentence: "Because God loves me, He will...”

Pastor Bruce Garner // I am excited! It’s nearly time for us to celebrate together! Have you invited your friends and family?
