Crossroads Message Audio Podcast

Pastor Epi Garcia continues our study through the book of Romans by exploring one of the most hope-filled chapters in Scripture: Romans 8. After Paul's honest struggle with sin in Romans 7, Romans 8 begins with the incredible promise: "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." In this message, Pastor Epi explains what it truly means to be free from guilt, empowered...

Have you ever found yourself doing the very thing you don't want to do? You're not alone. In Romans 7:14–25, the Apostle Paul opens up about a struggle every believer faces—the battle between our desire to follow God and the reality of our sinful nature. Even after years of following Jesus, Paul admits that the struggle with sin is real. Yet his honesty points us to a powerful truth: our hope is n...

What is the purpose of God’s Law, and how does it relate to the freedom we have in Christ? In this message from Romans 7:1-13, Pastor Epi unpacks Paul’s powerful illustration of marriage to explain what it means to be released from the Law and united to Jesus through faith. While the Law is holy, righteous, and good, it was never meant to save us. Instead, it reveals our need for a Savior and poin...

What are you devoted to? As we continue our Devoted series through the book of Romans, we explore what it means to move from slavery to sin into a life devoted to Christ. Pastor Jon Eastlick unpacks Paul's teaching on obedience, righteousness, holiness, and the life-changing freedom found in Jesus. Discover how your daily choices shape your character, your direction, and ultimately your destiny.

In Romans 6:1-14, we're reminded that freedom is much more than forgiveness—it's freedom from the power of sin itself. Through faith in Jesus, believers are no longer enslaved to their old way of life but are made new through His death and resurrection. Using powerful illustrations from Braveheart, Lazarus' resurrection, and Paul's teaching to the Roman church, this message challenges us to stop m...

What do you do when the race gets hard, and you're tempted to slow down, step back, or quit altogether? In this encouraging message from Philippians 1, guest speaker Chris Owen reminds us that our confidence is not found in our circumstances, our preferences, or even our own strength—it is found in Jesus Christ, the One who began a good work in us and promises to bring it to completion.

Death doesn’t get the final word. In this powerful message from Romans 5, we explore how sin entered the world through Adam, how death spread to all humanity, and how Jesus—the “last Adam”—brought grace, hope, and eternal life through His sacrifice on the cross. Through personal stories, biblical teaching, and practical encouragement, this sermon reminds us that no one is beyond the grace of God.

What if your struggles, failures, and even your worst moments weren’t the end of your story? In Romans 5, we’re reminded of one powerful truth: “But God…” This message explores the overwhelming love and grace of God — a love poured out not for perfect people, but for sinners, enemies, and the weak. Through Jesus, we are justified by faith, reconciled to God, and invited into a life marked by peace...

What does it really mean to have peace? In Romans 5, we discover that peace isn’t just the absence of problems—it’s a gift rooted in what Jesus has already done for us. In this message, we explore three powerful truths every believer can live in: Peace — We have peace with God and can experience peace from God Privilege — We’ve been given access, authority, and assignment Problems — God uses trial...

What are you really trusting in—your effort, your routines, your comfort, or God? In this message from Romans 4, we explore how Paul dismantles legalism and reminds us that righteousness has never been earned through works, tradition, or performance. It has always been received through faith. Looking at the life of Abraham, we see what it means to trust an extraordinary God even when circumstances...

What actually counts to God? Is it effort, consistency, perfection, or something else? In this message from Romans 4, Pastor Eppie walks through the life of Abraham to reveal the truth that we are made right with God through faith—not by works. Through powerful biblical examples like Abraham, Peter walking on water, the widow’s offering, and the father who cried, “I believe; help my unbelief,” thi...

In Romans 4, we’re reminded that we are made right with God not by what we do—but by faith in what Jesus has already done. But what does that kind of grace actually look like in real life? In this message, we turn to the story of David and Mephibosheth in 2 Samuel 9 to see a powerful picture of God’s grace in action. Mephibosheth was broken, hiding, and expecting judgment—but instead, he received...

After weeks of hard truth in Romans—reminding us that all have fallen short—we’re pointed back to the good news: we are justified by faith alone, through God’s grace. Not by our works, not by our effort, but by what Christ has already done. This message unpacks what it really means to live a life marked by humility, grace, and faith that expresses itself through love. It’s a call to stop striving,...

In this powerful Easter message, Pastor Eppie shares the story of Mary Magdalene and the life-changing reality of the empty tomb. Through Mary’s journey—from brokenness and spiritual darkness to freedom, hope, and restored purpose—we’re reminded that Jesus meets us right where we are. Even in our grief, doubt, and pain, He is present… calling us by name. If you’ve ever felt lost, overlooked, or fa...

They cried “Hosanna,” but missed the point. In Romans 3:21–26, discover how Jesus didn’t just come to fix circumstances—He came to save us from sin and make us righteous through His grace.

In Romans 3:1–20, Paul confronts some of the most common (and dangerous) ways we think about God, sin, and ourselves. What happens when our logic is off? What if the way we’re thinking is actually leading us away from truth? Pastor Chris walks through how “backwards thinking” distorts our understanding of God’s faithfulness, minimizes the seriousness of sin, and causes us to rely on ourselves inst...

In Romans 2:25–29, Paul confronts a dangerous form of spiritual deception—trusting in religious symbols and traditions instead of a transformed heart. In this message, we explore the origin and meaning of circumcision in God’s covenant with Abraham and how it eventually became a source of false security for many in Israel. Paul reminds us that true faith isn’t about outward signs, religious activi...

In Romans 2:17–24, Paul confronts a powerful spiritual danger: knowing God’s truth without truly living it. In this message, we explore how Israel was chosen to represent God to the world, how the law revealed God’s holiness and pointed to Christ, and how pride and legalism distorted that calling over time. Paul’s warning to the religious Jews is also a warning for us today. It’s possible to know...

In Romans 2, Paul shifts from addressing the openly rebellious sinner to confronting the “moral” person — the one who believes they’re good enough without Christ. In this message, we unpack one of the most humbling truths in Scripture: being a good person isn’t enough. Whether religious or irreligious, pagan or moralist, Paul makes it clear — apart from Jesus, we all stand guilty before a holy God...

Are we living in a post-Christian culture? And if so, how should believers respond? In this message from Epistle to the Romans 1:16–32, we confront one of the most sobering passages in Scripture. The Apostle Paul describes a culture that has exchanged the truth of God for a lie — suppressing truth, worshiping creation over the Creator, and experiencing the consequences of that exchange. But this i...

What does it really mean to call God “Father”? In this message from Romans 1:8–15, Pastor Abby challenges us to examine the kind of relationship we truly have with God. Is He distant? Is He formal? Or is He Abba — our Father? As Paul writes to a divided church made up of Jews and Gentiles, we see something powerful: a transformed life reflects the heart of God. Paul models humility, deep affection...

What does it truly mean to belong to Jesus—and what might be holding you back from answering His call? In this message from Romans 1:1–7, Pastor Epi launches a verse-by-verse journey through the book of Romans, helping us understand the gospel through its original context and timeless truth. Paul introduces himself not as a religious superstar, but as a bondservant of Christ—freely surrendered, fu...

In this powerful and deeply personal message, Pastor Rich shares his final sermon to the Crossroads family, centering on five life-shaping words he never wants the church to forget: Favor, Righteousness, Truth, Revelation, and Grace. Rooted in Scripture and decades of pastoral ministry, this message is a call to remain anchored in the grace of Jesus Christ—no matter the season, transition, or chal...

What if the greatest spiritual growth of your life is directly connected to the people you walk with? This sermon invites you to reflect on who you’re connected to and how godly relationships can shape your faith in 2026 and beyond.

In Week 3 of our Acts 29 series, Pastor John teaches from Acts 2:42–47, showing us that prayer isn’t just something we do—it’s how we live. Just like breathing, prayer is meant to be continual, life-giving, and deeply connected to our relationship with God. In this message, we explore why we pray, how we pray, and how Jesus modeled a life of prayer. From the Lord’s Prayer to praying without ceasin...
