Crossroads - Weekend Messages

There is something so powerful about watching God work. Whether we find ourselves in awe of a brilliant sunset or overwhelmed holding a newborn child, God’s handiwork is glorious. God is always creative and creating. We see a powerful version of this as we watch God’s work during the formative years of the church of Jesus Christ. We are excited to begin our journey through the Acts of the Apostles...

It’s a brand new year! We often use a new calendar year to begin new habits and rhythms to become the people Jesus created us to be. The same is true here at Crossroads. We love to explore the new things that Jesus has for us as we enter a new year. We are excited to share the unique things that Jesus has for us in this weekend’s vision message as we continue to simply respond to Jesus together!

Christmas is all about the presence of God. For many people, God seems distant and unapproachable. We might think that our issues and problems are not worth God’s time and energy. Yet, the good news of Jesus Christ tells us the exact opposite is true. God is not distant. God has come down to earth. Not only is God approachable, but He took the first step by joining us at street level where we live...

We live in a culture that loves displays of power. Whether it is a strong nation flexing its power or a tremendous athlete accomplishing something spectacular, we are enamored with power. But in Christ, God has displayed power in a very unique way. Rather than making an ostentatious display of power, God works in power through the gospel of Jesus. As we continue to prepare our hearts for Christmas...

It’s been said that life without purpose is pointless. Purpose is what gives meaning to our lives. This meaning leads us into action as we move through the world. Since we each have only one life to live on this side of eternity, it is so important that we live with purpose. It is God’s will that our purpose for ourselves aligns with God’s purpose for our lives. God’s word teaches us some amazing...

There are countless definitions for the word 'peace' but when we look at the biblical definition of peace, it means the absence of war. When Jesus was born, the angels didn’t just sing about peace, they proclaimed it upon the earth. As Jesus lived, ministered, and taught, His followers uncovered that the peace promised with this King runs counter-culturally. His peace causes the weary soul to rejo...

God has always been calling people. God knows that humanity is prone to wander from the God who created us, loves us, and wants to work in our lives in beautiful ways. God is always seeking people who are willing to journey through life following Him. As we begin our Christmas series “Down to Earth,” we will start by looking at the people of God and how God touches people through other people.

Jesus said that we are more blessed to give than to receive. But for many people, we actually think the opposite. We desire things and make little room in our lives for generosity. And we wonder why things don’t make us happy. As we close out our series in the book of Philippians, we see the great joy of generosity.

As followers of Jesus, we must constantly be reminded… of everything! We must be reminded that life on this side of eternity is temporary. We must be reminded who we are. Even if we live a good and long life, a hundred years is quite short in comparison to eternity with God. There is a longing in the soul of the Christian for our forever home. That home is heaven, where there is fullness of joy an...

As we continue our study in the book of Philippians, today we uncover how pursuing Christlikeness was not only one of the most defining elements of spiritual growth for the Apostle Paul, but it was the main passion of his life. Though our world offers many ways to receive an external reward, followers of Jesus know that true fulfillment can only be found in Christ. May this message awaken an abili...

We love to say that “life is messy and Jesus is real.” We don’t love that life is messy though. It is just the truest thing we can say about life. It’s messy. But what makes it beautiful is that Jesus shows up, in the midst of it all, and leads us into Gods’ best for our lives. As we follow Jesus, we come to know Him more and more. This knowing of Jesus fills our lives to overflowing with joy.

Friendship is the highest form of relationship. The healthiest marriages have friendship as their bedrock. Many of us are searching for close intimate relationships, and yet we struggle to be the type of friend for which we are seeking. As we look at Paul’s letter to the Philippians, we discover potent examples of meaningful friendships and, ultimately, uncover the beautiful love we have in our fr...

Rarely do people think or talk about obedience as a path to joy. Yet, when the authorities in our lives truly know and lead us into what is best for us, obedience absolutely produces joy, because when we walk in God’s best for our lives, joy is a beautiful fruit.
