Crossroads Community Baptist Church - Sermons

Jesus is the Holy Son of God who was set apart to build the Kingdom of Heaven by drawing people, cleansing people, forgiving people, and transforming people. This morning, Pastor Nolan continues in the Gospel of Luke, preaching through Luke 5:1-32.

In Luke 4, God gives us everything we need to taste and see that Jesus Christ is the perfect priest, prophet and King. Christ has come to carry your burdens and bear your sin upon Himself.

In Week 7 of our series through the Gospel of Luke, we're looking at Luke 3:1-38, where we'll see the ministry of John the baptizer, a prophetic messenger who has been appointed to prepare the way for the Lord. He's preaches boldly and simply the message of Jesus, point us all to Jesus. In many ways, this is what we've been called to do to prepare the way for Jesus' second coming.

This morning we'll continue in our series through the book of Luke, and in Luke 2:22 -52 we'll see how the Father sends His one and only Son to earth, in a position, with a purpose, fueled by passion to Glorify the Father and bring good news to all. Jesus comes with a position, purpose, and passion.

On this Christmas Eve, Pastor Nolan preaches through Luke 2:1-21, and we'll see that our only hope for peace with God is through Jesus Christ.

Continuing in the book of Luke, this morning we'll look at Luke 1:57 -80 and we'll see the heart of the Father towards His people is mercy, which leads to our joy, hope, salvation and peace.

This morning Pastor Nolan will continue in our Advent sermon series through in the book of Luke, and we'll look at what has become known as "Mary's song." For Mary, becoming pregnant while betrothed to Joseph could have been a death sentence. However, in spite of all the things before her journey that could have caused fear and worry, she chose worship instead.

There are times when God moves us in unexpected ways, and calls us to do seemingly impossible things. The Lord is sovereign and faithful, and he is able to make impossible things possible. This week our guest speaker is Pastor Kevin Richardson, and he will preach through Luke 1:26 -38.

This morning on this first Sunday of Advent, we'll begin a new sermon series through the book of Luke, Born As A King, where we'll look at the incarnation of God, and the hope Jesus brings to all. In this first message we'll discover how our faith is both historical and biblical, and We can be certain God is who He says He is, and that He’ll do all that he says He’ll do.

To say, "Our God is love," is to say that God is loving in all His ways. His love doesn't cease when he's just, or wrathful. He doesn't lay aside one attribute in order to embody another attribute. Instead, His love is steadfast, transformational, intentional, and overwhelmingly good. There truly is no one like our God. Pastor Nolan preaches through 1 John 4:7-21 as he concludes our series, This I...

God is perfectly righteous in how he treats His creatures, which also means He is a God of perfect justice. The good news of God's justice is that while we are sinful and unholy people, God, himself, atoned for the sins of mankind in the crucifixion of Jesus. While the wages of sin is death, if our hope and faith is in Christ alone, we have salvation and everlasting life.

It's important for us to know that God is faithful because the faithfulness of God promises that God will never cease to be exactly who He is and who He’s always been. He is faithful to love, protect, provide which is reflected in His creation and through his promises. We can trust God for what he'll do, by remembering all He's done.

God's wisdom is higher than our wisdom, and we may not always understand why God does what he does. But, because God is good and faithful, we can trust in His wisdom always. Pastor Kevin Richardson continues in our series, This Is Our God, helping us to better understand the wisdom of God.

Looking deeper into goodness of God is to see that He is full of grace & mercy, which are two attributes often expressed together in the Scriptures. Our response to the grace and mercy of God is worship because God deserves it, humility because we don't deserve it, comfort because it's an amazing gift, and proclamation because it's the best news anyone will ever get.

We see God's goodness in his presence, provision, and promise, which compels us to praise him with our whole lives. This week, Pastor Nolan takes us through Psalm 34 as we look continue in our series, This Is Our God.

Our God is eternal, and in this message from the series, "This is Our God," we'll learn what that's good news for disciples of Jesus (and why that's bad news for those who aren't).

God's patience is counted as salvation to those who are, and will be, sons and daughters of the most high God. We're called to be patient as Christ is patient with people, situations and suffering.

In this episode, Pastor Doug begins our new sermon series, "This Is Our God," which will help us to know God on a deeper level. In this first message, we'll be looking closely at the holiness of God.

This morning Pastor Nolan will conclude our series, Made For Mission, with the final aspect of our mission - to grow together in Christ's love. We are made to grow in community. Our growth in Christ Jesus never stops if we pursue relationship with Christ in community with the body of Christ. We grow when we gather for the Glory of God; for the good and growth of His people, and for grace to th...

Continuing in our sermon series, Made For Mission, Pastor Nolan will lead us through the second part of our mission to "see lives transformed." In order to see lives transformed, we must be willing to those whose lives need to be transformed. We'll look at three ways God uses unlikely and undeserving people to build an extraordinary worshipping Kindgom to the glory of God forever.

In week 1 of our new sermon series, Made For Mission, we'll see that while we're called to lead others to saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, we are unable to do that if we don’t truly know Him first. Using Psalm 145 as our guide, Pastor Nolan will help us to understand 5 ways we can know God, and how we might practice knowing God in our daily lives.

In Jonah chapter 4, we'll see how Jonah is angry and outraged at God for saving Ninevah, so much so that he just wants to die. God, in mercy and love, holds a mirror to Jonah showing him this whole thing isn’t about him at all.  

In week 3 of our series in Jonah, Pastor Nolan will lead us through chapter 3 where Jonah is commissioned again by God to go to Ninevah and preach against their evil and wicked ways. We often love to give good news, but rarely do we like to give bad news. Ultimately, we can't really know how good the good news is until we know how bad the bad news is.

In week 2 of our series in the book of Jonah, Pastor Nolan preaches through chapter 2, where we'll see God's grace and mercy towards Jonah in the form of a fish and a storm leads Jonah towards repentance and thankfulness.
