CrossPointe Church Podcast

Matthew’s genealogy places scandal at the center of salvation history to show that God’s redeeming work reaches into our worst places. Using Tamar, Rahab, and Bathsheba, PT traces how redemption buys back dignity, interrupts cycles, re-anchors identity, and rewrites destiny. His sermon calls the church to protective action, honest confession, courageous repair, and radical welcome so the manger’s...

Matthew's genealogy reminds us that, like family traditions, we also inherit cycles of both blessing and brokenness. This powerful lineage shows God deliberately choosing imperfect people. God intentionally uses everyday individuals like us to reach others like us.

This sermon, “Somebody’s Watching You! (Part 2),” challenges parents and the church family to live authentic, visible faith so our children—and our community—see Christ-shaped lives in action. Using David’s example of stewardship and Jesus’ teaching about priorities, PT calls us from ownership to management of God’s resources, inviting a lifestyle of first-fruit generosity that models faith for th...

PT addresses the themes of legalism and compassion from Luke 14:1-6, where Jesus heals a man with leprosy on the Sabbath. This interaction with the Pharisees highlights the conflict between strict adherence to man-made rules and the higher calling of love and mercy that Jesus represents. Through this narrative, we are encouraged to prioritize Scripture's true intent over rigid tradition.

In his sermon "When Fallen Angels Attack," PT explores Jesus' journey to Jerusalem, focusing on His transformative acts of confronting, controlling, and casting out demons, as illustrated in Luke 13:10-17. These interventions highlight Jesus' power over spiritual oppression and His holistic approach to healing, which encompasses physical, spiritual, emotional, and social restoration. 

The passage from Luke 12 shows Jesus continuing His journey to Jerusalem and teaching the importance of our heart towards people and possessions. Let’s explore what we should do to be prepared and prepare others to be ready for Jesus.

The Legalism Lie, unpacks Luke chapter 11 to contrast Jesus’ kingdom of righteousness, peace and joy with religious legalism that prioritizes externals, burdens people with extra rules, and blocks sinners from Christ. Jesus calls people out, offers grace, and invites repentance from religion to relationship.

Luke 10 shows how Jesus taught His followers to have joy through the difficulty of ministering to others! In today’s sermon, Pastor Tracy tells us how we can have joy and avoid slipping into a slump.

So much in our lives happens unexpectedly, and our path can often feel uncharted. This Sunday, Luke 9 will help us to discover that Jesus always has a plan, even when your path seems uncharted.

Life often feels overwhelming, whether it's from personal challenges or unexpected news. In Luke 8, we witness Jesus navigate two desperate situations back-to-back: a chronically ill woman seeking a quiet miracle, and a frantic father whose daughter has just died. Despite these interruptions, Jesus never loses his focus on the individuals who approach him with faith. Their encounters provide valua...

You can't turn on the news without seeing another tragic event taking place in our world. What is happening to cause such a rise in evil acts? Pastor Tracy looks at how evil has taken a foothold on our world and how we can overcome it.

Living isolated from others is not what God has planned for any of us. Life is meant to be shared in community. At CrossPointe we believe circles are better than rows.

It's time to get off the bleachers and into the game at CrossPointe! God didn't call us to be spectators but participators. Use your talents and skills for his kingdom!

How would you describe the Christ followers in your life? How would they describe you? Would one of those descriptors be an “angry” or a “kind” Christian? If so, what level, and what’s our next step. In today’s message, Pastor Tracy helps use identify our next step.

Ever wonder if miracles are real? And if so, why don't they happen all the time? These are big questions for people, whether they're Christian or not. So, let's dive into what James had to say to the believers who are suffering, cheerful or sick.

Pain and suffering are the things that many unbelievers struggle with when it comes to the existence of God. Why does God seem silent so many times in our world? Pastor Tracy breaks this down to help us understand that the solution to pain and suffering in this life, isn't found in this life.

A factor of our faith is how we steward what God has blessed us with. Traditionally, those with more resources tend to have more opportunities to spend it. While those with fewer resources and fewer opportunities tend to focus more on helping others. This week Pastor Tracy explains the impact of spending our time and money to help others discover, develop and do life with Jesus.

We all have our own plans. What happens when our life plans don't go how we anticipated? What's out of our control is never out of God's hands.

Conflict and desires can create tension in our lives, even within the church. In James 4:1-10, the half-brother of Jesus, addresses the struggles faced in the first-century church. He reveals that the root of conflict often lies in the simple truth that we don't get what we want. So how should we respond to the question, “What do you want”?

Another factor of our faith should be to consider if our behavior is bringing heaven down or hell up. Those lines can be blurred as if we compromise following Jesus. In today’s message Pastor Tracy shares the importance of focusing on living in a way that honors God.

Do you struggle to control your tongue? Do you think before you speak? In this message Pastor Tracy dives into how our tongues can become out of control when the Holy Spirit isn't in control of our lives.

A factor of our faith is how we respond to other people. We often create biases in our minds that hinder how we show and share our faith in Jesus. In today’s sermon, Pastor Tracy shares the directions of James in how to navigate those situations

Our faith without application is not useful to us or beneficial to others. In today’s message, we look at how James explains the importance of putting our faith in action.

Our habits profoundly shape not just ourselves, but also those around us. James 1:22-25 urges us to be doers of the Word, not just hearers, so that we truly live out what we learn. So, are we actively applying God's truth to create a lasting and powerful impact?

Many things can get us upset or deliver an emotional response. So what does James, the brother of Jesus, tell us about how to respond. Let’s talk about it
