Crossroads Community Baptist Church - Sermons

In Acts 1:12–26, the disciples gather together prayerfulness to seek God's direction for their future following Jesus' ascension. Recognizing their need for guidance in selecting a replacement for Judas Iscariot, the disciples turn to God’s Word and Prayer as they seek to discern the will of God. What we see is that our response to the Gospel is to seek the Will of the Father in Gospel-cen...

This week we're starting a brand new sermon series through the book of Acts. The book of Acts recounts the beginnings of what becomes the global church of Jesus Christ, where the Gospel reaches people from every nation and tribe. In Acts 1:1-11, Pastor Teo helps us to see how we are a people commissioned by Jesus with one mission empowered by one Spirit.

On Christmas Eve, Pastor Nolan led us through Titus 2:11-14 where we see how the arrival of Jesus is the arrival of Salvation, where we’re sanctified by grace, sustained by hope, and redeemed for the work of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Joy is not simply momentary gladness. It’s not some fleeting feeling or emotional response. It is happiness that is deeply rooted in the promises of God. As Pastor Nolan preaches through Luke chapter 2, we’ll see how Jesus is the arrival of unspeakable joy, which encourages believers and followers of Jesus to embrace and share this joy with the world around them. In a deeply broken world - people...

In week 3 of our series, "The Arrival," Pastor Nolan preaches through 1 John 4:7-10, and we're looking at how the arrival of Jesus ushers in the arrival of love. Jesus is the arrival of a steadfast love that gives hope as an anchor through the storms (Hebrews 6:19), it’s love that covers a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8), and unconditional love amidst all kinds of brokenness (John 15...

This week we welcome Pastor Austin Segar, church planter and pastor of Greater Glory Church, being planted in Macomb County in the greater Detroit area. In week 2 of our series, The Arrival, Pastor Austin leads us through Isaiah 9:6-7 where we see that in a world marred by chaos, the arrival of Jesus marks the arrival of the only true and eternal peace.

The arrival of hope is found in the arrival of Jesus, who is the promised Messiah. The theme of Hope centers on the anticipation of Christ’s coming, both His birth and His promised return, offering salvation and restoration for all who call on the name of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Everybody’s looking for a little hope; find hope in God. To learn more about Crossroads, please visit www.crossroadsa2.o...

When we’re redeemed, we begin to view our work and rest as an act of faithful worship that brings honor and glory to God. Pastor Nolan will lead us through Genesis 1 and Matthew 25, and we'll see how we honor God when we work hard and faithfully as a means of serving others over ourselves. We'll also see when we rest, we demonstrate our trust of God knowing He is our provider.

The more deeply connected our identity is in Christ, the more we live and relate to other people in God-honoring ways. In this message, we look at Colossians 3, where the apostle Paul anchors us in the reality of our identity in Christ when we’re redeemed by Christ. Through Jesus, we are called to a higher standard of living that positions our relationships as reflective of His love and grace towa...

Pastor Doug continues in our series, Worship Redeemed, and he helps us to understand when we’re redeemed, it is our joy to worship God together. Worship is a whole-life response to the Gospel, which includes singing and prayer.

As we look at Matthew 6, we’ll see that Jesus is teaching about the difference between earthly treasures and heavenly treasures, and he wants his disciples to see that true wealth is found in our relationship with God rather than material possessions. In other words, Jesus is our treasure, and if we have him we truly have it all. In this message we'll see redeemed generosity links us to the he...

We are all worshippers at heart; yet, when we are redeemed by our faith and trust in Jesus, our worship is also redeemed. Who, what, and how we worship shifts from self-centered idolatry to Christ-centered exaltation. As Christians, we’re compelled by the grace and glory of God to live all of life as an offering of worship of the one true God (Romans 12:1-2). Ultimately, Christ is the perfect livi...

In this message, we look at Ephesians 4:11-16, and see how Paul emphasizes the importance of spiritual gifts and the role of the body of Christ in fostering unity and growth. We each have a unique role & function that contributes to the overall maturity of the church, which encourages believers to build each other up in love and truth. In other words, the Church flourishes when each member emb...

This morning we’re looking at Romans 10:13-15, where Paul reminds us that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, and He also emphasizes the necessity of preaching the Gospel. In other words, faith is not produced without hearing the message of Christ. Followers of Jesus are the conduit of salvation. Just how electricity can be harnessed and sent from one localized source to powe...

In this new series, we’re taking a look at our mission as a church and bringing in focus three key parts: know, go, grow. This week, Pastor Nolan leads us through Philippians 3:7-11 and we’ll see how our highest calling is to know and love God more than anything else, and it is in this pursuit that we discover our passion and purpose to make Him known.

“…deliver us from evil.” Trust in the Lord is sometimes easier said than done. We can be feel crippled by fear, suffering, and loneliness, which can make it difficult trust the sovereign goodness of God. Yet, we’ve seen God’s word and we’ve seen God’s work. He is faithful to fulfill all of His promises to us, never to forsake us. This morning Pastor Nolan reminds us yielding to God in prayer bolst...

Pastor Doug leads us in week 3 of our series Pray Like A Saint, and we're looking at the precious phrase, “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread…” Prayer gives us access to the heart of God, and we’re called to pray alongside the will of God. What does it mean to pray alongside the will of God? We can begin with the things God comma...

In week 2 of Pray Like A Saint, we're looking at the phrase “…and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors” of the Lord's Prayer and how that impacts our prayers. We are undoubtedly sinful people at times; perhaps more than we even think. Yet, we can be honest with ourselves, honest with each other, and (most importantly) honest with God. All throughout the Scriptures, es...

This week Pastor Nolan begins a new sermon series on prayer, leading us through the Lord's Prayer and helping us to understand prayer as a life-giving means of connecting to the heart and will of God. In our first message, we'll look at the phrase, “Our Father in Heaven, hollowed be your name.” We were created to praise and worship God, and knowing God is holy and perfect and mighty, our w...

Psalm 51 is a heartfelt expression of confession and repentance from a very broken King David after his grievous sin with Bathsheba, demonstrating deep sorrow for sin and a plea for God's mercy and renewal. Pastor Nolan preaches a powerful message where we’ll see true repentance leads to a renewed heart and mind. True repentance invites the transformational presence of God, which compels deepl...

Pastor Doug Keasal walks us through Psalm 143, where David expresses his deep anguish and search for God's guidance during a time of trouble, reflecting on his past experiences of God's faithfulness while pleading for deliverance from his adversaries and restoration of his spirit. This psalm invites us to bring our deepest fears and struggles to God, reminding us that in our moments of distress, w...

In week 2 of our series in Psalms, Pastor Teo Moreno preaches through Psalm 46. In this psalm, we see that God is the only one we can take shelter in and He will never let us down. So no matter what lies ahead, we can take refuge in God. We can trust in Him at all times. We can have peace in Him even when things are so chaotic around us.

Desperate for help, David seeks shelter in a cave, but turns to his shelter and fortress, the Living God. God’s faithfulness and mercy to David is our faithfulness and mercy in Christ Jesus. At the heart of the message we'll learn no matter what we face, Jesus is everything. Pastor Nolan brings a meaningful message through the preaching of Psalm 142.

In Luke 24, we witness the miraculous resurrection of Jesus, which proves Jesus does all that he says He’ll do. The disciples were deeply emboldened by the power of the resurrection that they were willing to die testifying to the Gospel and all they witnessed. That same resurrection power empowers us to live boldly for Him and share the hope of the Gospel with a hurting world. Pastor Nolan closes...

Closing out his account of the life and ministry of Jesus, Luke details the trial, crucifixion, and burial of Jesus. It captures the climax of the Gospel story where Jesus faces injustice, unimaginable suffering and death, yet points us to the profound hope and redemption that emerges from His sacrifice.
