CrossPoint Church: Messages

Pastor Bruce Garner // THIS weekend, we will look at Christians under intense pressure to walk away from Jesus held on to Him instead. Believe it or not, it has everything to do with Christmas! Contemporary followers of Jesus face the same kinds of temptations and pressure, but the best decision of our lives will be to entrust ourselves to Jesus. Come get some fuel for your faith this weekend!

Pastor Bruce Garner // Christmas celebrates the birth of the Person of Jesus, and our activities, gatherings, and parties are meant to deepen our relationships with people, not strain them in the pursuit of “perfect” memories. Pray to enjoy and give peace in your relationships every day this season.

Pastor Bruce Garner // Last weekend we learned about gratitude, and I suggested a simple, effective practice: at the end of each day, write down three things you are grateful for, and then pray to God to give Him thanks. I’ve received some amazing messages this week telling me about your adventures in gratitude! Let’s keep going!

Pastor Bruce Garner // “Count your blessings, name them one by one.” That’s what the old hymn advises, and it’s great counsel. I hope you’ll bring your friends and family to worship this weekend. Bring your burdens; go home grateful. What could be better than that?

Pastor Jim Gane // I am so grateful for what God is doing in our church family! Last weekend we had more people in worship than ever, and your kindness, generosity and service to our church family and community is a beautiful thing to behold. Thank you! A healthy church family has a lot of life and activity. Check this out!

Pastor Bruce Garner // My pastor used to say there will be two big surprises in heaven: Who is there; and who is not. How can you know for sure? The question matters so much that Jesus answered it in detail in the gospel of Luke. I hope you’ll join us this weekend in worship. Bring a friend! They may be the next to find eternal life!

Pastor Bruce Garner // Jesus said that everyone would know that we were His disciples by our… LOVE. Whew! What a humbling standard! This weekend, we will meet two kinds of people that showed up to dinner with Jesus. One was admired; the other, despised. And what followed was one of the most important lessons on love that Jesus ever taught. If you want to grow as a follower of Jesus (and grow in lo...

Pastor Bruce Garner // The root of every heartbreak is unmet expectations. And if you have a personal relationship with Jesus, you will bring expectations into it! You may not even be sure of what they are… until they are not met. Then what? This weekend you’ll meet different people in the gospel of Luke who wrestled with this problem. One of them was a man JESUS called the greatest man ever. I ho...

Pastor Bruce Garner // We will look to the God who made the world and all that is in it this weekend. I can’t imagine a more urgent topic. And there is HOPE and HEALING. If you have friends and family asking hard questions, INVITE them this weekend: Saturday at 5:30p, or Sunday morning at 9:00 or 10:30a!

Pastor Bruce Garner // This weekend I asked for your questions in the aftermath of the crimes committed in Las Vegas. Thank you for the response - I just finished sorting through a lot of important, difficult questions you asked. I’ll try to give you biblical answers in our next worship services. It’s a great time to bring your friends and family who may have questions of their own!

Pastor Bruce Garner // AMAZE JESUS?! HOW? It’s true. It happens, and you can do it. Join us this weekend on Saturday at 5:30p or Sunday mornings at 9:00 or 10:30a to find out how as we keep walking with Jesus in the gospel of Luke.

Pastor Bruce Garner // I spent fifteen minutes at Barnes and Noble looking through the self-improvement section. Interesting stuff - much of it useful. Plus two titles with serious swear words in the title. I’m a lifelong reader of the genre, but that was new! That section will ALWAYS have great sales because we all want to become good people. But how did JESUS say that happens? I wanted to tackle...

Missionary Laverne Rodgers // This weekend we return to the gospel of Luke and hear Jesus tackle a vital question: How can you tell what kind of person you are becoming? In an age filled with Christian pretenders, can you tell the difference between a genuine follower of Jesus and a fake? School’s back in - let’s all get back together and worship and grow together!

Pastor Bruce Garner // Suffering opens the door for both growth AND disaster. Last week, we focused on God’s provision for our anxieties. Now, we’ll talk about how to stay in the fight and WIN when you are suffering. Come worship Saturday at 5:30p or Sunday at 9:00a or 10:30a.

Pastor Bruce Garner // Anxiety is the curse of our age. What does the God who made us and loves us say about it? Is there hope? I hope you’ll worship with us this weekend as we explore a passage of Scripture that has given me hope since I was a college kid. There is no one on earth who cannot benefit from what God promises!

We can endure almost anything if we know it’s going to end well. This weekend, I want to tell you the end of THE story from the book of Revelation. I promise you’ll be encouraged, and you may even be surprised how issues in today’s headlines are addressed by this telling of “future history.”

We live in the age of fear. Our screens are filled with the news of hatred, crimes and threats. In our relationships, we live in dread of the opinion of others, and millions of people have grown accustomed to life with an ever present tension in the pit of their stomach. This weekend, I’ll share a single, pithy proverb from the Bible that tells us how to live in a culture soaked in fear. If you li...

Video audio has been cut out. CrossPoint kids and students are nearing the end of their summer camps! Please keep praying. Due to their location, the camps are nearly a "cone of silence" but I've heard some GOOD reports already. You'll be blessed by what happens when they all get home!

He Restores My Soul 08.06.17 by CrossPoint Church

This weekend, beginning with the 5:30p Saturday service, we will return to the vital idea of passing on our love for God to the next generation. I will share the SINGLE most important factor in raising kids to love God. It's a lesson I was taught when my children were young, and so far, it has made all the difference.

Your response to last weekend’s message about the next generation has been very encouraging! Some of you have followed up with questions and tried to share it with others. Unfortunately, we had technical problems and none of the recordings are useful. That has never happened, but it may be for the best! I am heeding the advice of others and on the weekend of July 29th & 30th, I am going to recap t...

Our good friend Kent is a premier biblical communicator. He is a professor at Biola University and travels the world with CrossTalk Global teaching pastors with little access to formal education how to powerfully share the truth of God’s Word. You won’t want to miss hearing from him!

In our weekend worship services, we've reached the Parent Chair in the Table Talk series! Every single Christian can reach it. It's God's design, and He provides the resources! I hope you'll join me Saturday at 5:30p or Sunday at 9:00a or 10:30a. "We proclaim Him, warning and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ." Colossians 1:28

In our weekend worship services we’ve reached the Young Adult Chair in the Table Talk series! This is the stage where a Christian becomes focused on God and others first. It’s a powerful time in the life of anyone following Jesus and we can all reach it! I hope you’ll join me Saturdayat 5:30p or Sunday at 9:00 or 10:30a.
