Crossroads Church - Deep Creek Lake, MD

This topic applies to everyone - you may have never struggled with anger or substance abuse, your speech may always be pleasant, you might not have even stolen or hated your brother, but you never hear of anyone that has not struggled with staying pure. We ALL need to pursue purity and in this message, we break down what that really means.

Traci Ketchem of Deeper Still of Mountaineer Country joins Pastor Dave to discuss the long-term effects an abortion has on both women and men, how we can love and support those who have had an abortion, and how Deeper Still retreats are helping to bring healing and restoration to families.

We often forget lots of things: someone's name, why we walked into the kitchen, why we called someone. We need ways to remember the important things in our life - we need a rock collection.

Keith Collins discusses our need for perseverance and endurance in our faith.

Pastor Dave and MD State Delegate Mike McKay discuss new developments in the Maryland political arena regarding abortion and how we can respond.

In part 3 of our series, we talk about finding joy in our relationships and we hear from 2 couples on how they specifically have kept their relationships fun!

In this special Mother's Day message, Pastor Dave speaks on one of the most powerful forces in this world - a mother's voice! Moms, how do you use your voice?

How you fight is the number one predictor of a relationship's success. So... how do you fight? Do you interpret everything said in a negative way? Do you assume the other person is out to get you without any evidence? Guest speaker Pastor Steve Felder explains how we can change how we fight immediately.

Most married couples go into marriage with great expectations, but zero preparations… as Pastor Dave kicks off this brand new series, we discuss healthy expectations for marriage.

"Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep..." For many of us, that may have been the first prayer we ever learned. In today's message, we study the last statement Jesus made from the cross - which sounds a lot like the prayer many of us used to pray before bed.

In previous statements that Jesus made from the cross, He uttered prayers, He has spoken to His mother and His friend, He quoted Scripture, and He fulfilled prophecies. But in today’s statement, He does something totally different. He makes a declaration that literally gives birth to a new way of life.

In the statement discussed in this message, it almost seems like something has gone dreadfully wrong in God's redemption plan. Did God really forsake Jesus on the cross?

In this message, we look at the fourth statement Jesus made while on the cross: two words in English, but only one word in Greek with huge implications. Was Jesus just thirsty when he said “I thirst” or was He saying something more?

While Jesus was on the cross, He suffered unimaginable pain, yet even in his suffering, he used his final breaths to make 7 incredible statements that still impact us today. Some of his statements were deeply theological, teaching huge Biblical truths like salvation and forgiveness. He made several statements like that, but the statement we look at today is a little different. On the surface, this...

What does it really mean to brave? Sometimes we're scared, nervous, or feel inadequate, but we really don't need to rely on our own skills or abilities at all. Adam Brenneman from Springs Warehouse Church joins us to discuss what true bravery is all about.

While Jesus is dying an excruciating death for the sins of the world, he takes the time to respond to one man. This man is dying... he has no time to do any good works, he has no time to be baptized, he has no time to join a church... but God is so much bigger than our man-made traditions. In this message, Pastor Dave examines the exchange between Jesus and the thief on the cross.

As we kick off this series examining seven statements that Jesus made on the cross during his final breaths, we begin by studying his first words from the cross: not a prayer asking God to ease His pain, but a prayer of forgiveness for others.

Some of us have things about our bodies that we want to change (now some of those changes are possible... but some not so much…). Others of us have some bad habits we’d like to break or maybe some good habits we’d like to establish. In this series, we've been looking at how we can practically rely on God's power to change us instead of our own willpower. As we close out this series, we l...
