There are moments in Scripture that stop us in our tracks, not because they are confusing, but because they are overwhelming in beauty and weight. Revelation 5 is one of those moments. It pulls back the curtain on heaven and shows us what is truly at the center of reality.   In this message, Pastor Steve leads us into the throne room where the fate of the world hangs in the balance and no one seem...

Many Christians feel overwhelmed by complexity. Faith can start to feel like a system to manage rather than a life to live. In Acts 2, Scripture gives us a surprisingly simple picture of what the church looked like when the Spirit first formed it. Ordinary people devoted themselves to the teaching of Jesus, shared life together, prayed with dependence, and lived with open hands.   In this message,...

Do you know that feeling when everything finally settles down—the crisis passes, the argument resolves, the anxiety lifts—and you think, "Okay, maybe now I can breathe"? And then three days later, there it is again. Different problem, same darkness. Different fear, same weight. We glimpse peace, but it never seems to last. After enough cycles, even the peaceful moments feel haunted by whatever's c...

Ever feel like you're just... ordinary? Like your life doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things? You're not alone. Mary felt that way too—a teenage girl in a forgotten town with a completely mapped-out, unremarkable future. But then God showed up. In this message, we discover that God doesn't wait around for impressive résumés or remarkable people. He breaks into ordinary lives with ext...

Every believer knows the sound of the inner critic. It tells you that you are too small, too inexperienced, too broken, or too tired for what God has called you to do. In this message from 1 Timothy 6:11 through 16, Pastor Steve shows how God speaks a stronger word than the voice inside us. Paul calls Timothy a man of God at a moment when Timothy likely felt anything but strong. That single name b...

The gospel does far more than save us. It reshapes the way we work, the way we pursue godliness, and the way we think about wealth. In this message, Pastor Steve walks through one of the most practical and confronting passages in 1 Timothy. Paul speaks directly into places where our hearts are most tender, like our jobs, our ambitions, our longings for control, and our quiet battles with compariso...

What does it mean to lead in a way that honors God? In 1 Timothy 5:17–25, Paul gives practical wisdom for how the church should honor faithful leaders, confront sin in leadership, and discern character with patience and care.   In this message, Pastor Steve addresses the hard questions people often ask about church leadership. Should pastors be paid? What happens when a leader fails? How should ac...

What does godliness look like in real life? In this message from 1 Timothy 5, Pastor Steve shows that faith is not limited to quiet moments of prayer or worship. True godliness shows up in how we speak to one another, care for our families, and live with compassion in everyday life.   Paul calls the church to be a household where people treat each other like family. Older men are honored as father...

How do you train for godliness? In 1 Timothy 4:1–16, Paul shows that spiritual health is not built by willpower but by grace. Pastor Steve unpacks God’s plan for a healthy soul through three rhythms that mirror our physical life: exercise, rest, and nutrition.   This message exposes counterfeit forms of spirituality that look impressive but leave the soul empty, and it reminds us that true godline...

The church in Ephesus stood in the shadow of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Temple of Artemis. It was massive, beautiful, and filled with idols. Yet Paul reminded Timothy that the true wonder of the world was not made of stone but of people.   In this message, Gene Coleman, an elder at CrossPointe, teaches from 1 Timothy 3:14–16, showing that the church is the household of God,...

When people think of deacons, they often picture board meetings or budget spreadsheets. But in Scripture, deacons are not administrators of an organization. They are lead servants who reflect the heart of Jesus.   In this message from 1 Timothy 3:8–13, Pastor Steve shows how the gospel shapes every part of the church, including those called to serve. Deacons are not secondary leaders but living pi...

Trust in church leaders has been shaken in our generation, leaving many people wounded and wary of returning. In this message from 1 Timothy 3:1–8, Pastor Steve shows how the Gospel offers a better way. God’s design for leadership is not built on charisma or success but on character that has been shaped by grace.   This passage lifts the curtain on what kind of men God calls to guide His people—me...

Few passages in the New Testament are as debated as 1 Timothy 2:8–15. Paul speaks about men raising holy hands in prayer, women adorning themselves with godliness rather than appearance, and even the hard line about women not teaching or having authority over men. These verses have sparked centuries of discussion, confusion, and sometimes division.   In this sermon, Pastor Steve leans in with humi...

What powers the mission of the church? It is not strategy, programs, or polished leadership. It is prayer. In 1 Timothy 2, Paul urges the church to be a praying people, lifting up petitions, intercessions, and thanksgiving for all people, even leaders and enemies.   In this message, Pastor Steve calls us back to the heart of the mission: prayer that fuels gospel proclamation. Prayer reminds us tha...

When life feels heavy and faith feels weary, where do you turn? In 1 Timothy 1, Paul doesn’t give Timothy a list of tasks—he shares his testimony. Paul reminds us that mercy changes everything. It rewrote his story from blasphemer to believer, from persecutor to preacher.   In this message, Pastor Steve shows that when mercy rewrites your story, gratitude becomes the song of your life and the stre...

Many people today say, “I love Jesus, but I don’t trust the church.” And let’s be honest—sometimes they have good reasons. From scandals to power grabs, churches can lose sight of who they are meant to be. But what if the problem isn’t with the idea of the church itself, but with forgetting its foundation?   In this first message from the House of God series, Pastor Steve reminds us that when the...

Every wedding points to something greater. Beneath the music, the feast, and the vows is a longing for a love that lasts and a joy that never ends. Revelation 19 gives us a glimpse of that ultimate wedding: the marriage supper of the Lamb.   In this message, Stephen Bean (elder at CrossPointe) reminds us that the Bible’s story ends not with despair, but with a feast. A Bride made ready. A Groom wh...

It’s possible to sit at the Lord’s Table with bread and cup in hand—and still miss Jesus. That was the danger in Corinth, where communion became more about status and division than about grace. And if we’re honest, it can be our danger too.   In this message, Pastor Steve shows how the Lord’s Supper is not just ritual but relationship—an invitation into fellowship with Christ Himself. Communion is...

What made the early church so powerful that 3,000 people were saved in a single day? In this heartfelt message, retired pastor Jim Fox takes us back to the very first Pentecost and reveals the four pillars that transformed ordinary believers into world-changers. From the apostles' teaching to fellowship, from breaking bread together to devoted prayer, discover how these simple practices created a...

Sometimes failure feels final. You work hard, do all the right things, and still end up with empty hands. That’s where Peter found himself—haunted by his denial of Jesus, unsure if he still belonged. But in John 21, Jesus shows up on the shore with a fire, breakfast, and a question that changes everything.   In this message, Pastor Steve shows how Jesus meets us in our surrender, not our success....

We all hit moments when the joy dries up—when life feels more like obligation than celebration. Maybe it’s a quiet ache, a relationship gone cold, or the creeping sense that what once satisfied no longer does. In John 2, Jesus shows up at a wedding that’s running out of wine, and with it, joy, honor, and hope.   In this message, Pastor Steve reveals the beauty behind Jesus’ first miracle—not just...

We all long for belonging—for a place at the table where we’re wanted, welcomed, and known. But in a world of distractions, deadlines, and self-made religion, it’s easy to miss the most important invitation of all.   In this message, Pastor Steve shares the parable of the wedding banquet—a story Jesus told not to entertain us, but to wake us up. This is a feast prepared by a Father who doesn’t wan...

What do you do when it feels like your prayers are hitting the ceiling? When silence stretches long and the waiting wears you down, it’s tempting to assume God isn’t listening. But in Luke 18, Jesus tells a story that speaks directly to the ache of unanswered prayer.   In this message, Pastor Steve reminds us that prayer isn’t about nagging God into submission—it’s about holding onto His heart whe...

Most of us walk around with quiet pressure in our souls—the need to appear put-together, to be “good enough,” to prove we’re worthy of love. But in Luke 18, Jesus tells a story that lovingly exposes this tendency.   In this message, Pastor Steve invites us to see ourselves clearly: not as people who need a little polishing, but as people who need mercy. The parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Coll...

When was the last time you forgave someone from your heart—not because they deserved it, but because you remembered the mercy God gave you? In this honest and powerful message, Pastor Steve leads us through Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant and invites us to confront the subtle pride that clings to our own record while holding others hostage to theirs.   We all crave grace, but extending i...
