Crossroads - Weekend Messages

The Greatest Teacher of all time – Jesus - taught us the point of life is love. We always love people and even things in our life, but there’s a right and a wrong movement to our love. The right kind of love moves upward to God, inward to ourselves, and outward to other people. Somehow it doesn't always work out that way. So one of the greatest things we can do for our life and relationships is le...

The Israelites have been gearing up for battle for a while now -- 40 years, in fact. And we’ve been ready and waiting, too, as we’ve followed their journey. Well, it’s finally time for the first battle in the Promised Land: the famed battle of Jericho. But the battle for Jericho isn’t like any battle you’ve ever seen because God has a crazy plan to defeat a previously undefeatable city and honor t...

We all have those days where we just drag a little bit. In fact, some days you might feel like you need your own motivational speaker just to keep going -- (but that’s expensive). Thankfully, God himself gives us the keys to living successful lives, and when we learn those keys and choose to live the way he suggests, he promises to help us every step of the way. Join us this weekend, and listen in...

In Joshua 5, we find the children of Israel now securely within the Promised Land, but still with some battles ahead. Yet, before the battle of Jericho, there were some final preparations that needed to be made. As is always the case, the things that God values are vastly different than what we, as humans, value.

Sometimes when we are in the middle of a miracle, we can’t always see it. Yet, each and every day at Crossroads, the lost are being reached in a way that they can understand, lives are being transformed, and the work of God’s kingdom is happening. Join us this weekend for our mid-year vision message as we look at the tremendous things God is doing at Crossroads and get a glimpse of what is up ahea...

Everyone loves great preaching. But preaching with great love is the best! Jesus taught many things and in many ways, but one of His "go-to" sermons is best known as the Beatitudes recorded in Luke 6. Let's take a look together at the 11 verses that make up one of the most famous teachings in the Bible.

Our mission is to simply respond to Jesus, but what does that look like practically? Keeping it simple, we respond with service and praise. Because Jesus is real and showed us that serving others was the greatest demonstration of faith and love, we respond to Him by serving others. When done by the leading of God’s Spirit, the result is that praise rises in our hearts.

Memories are powerful reminders of the goodness and faithfulness of God. When the children of Israel crossed the Jordan River, God had them erect memorial stones so that they would always remember His work and ways. The Lord knows that without these memorials, we, too, are prone to forget how mightily He has worked in our lives over the years.

This life is messy, and, unfortunately, it can also be painful. But this life is not the whole story. The Scriptures encourage us to press on and speak unequivocally of an eternal life that awaits the people of God. So, no matter what we struggle with or the trials we face on this side of eternity, we are guaranteed a beautiful future in our forever home!

Crossing over the Jordan River into the Promised Land is the great climactic event of the book of Joshua. We will look at this monumental step for the children of Israel in Chapter 3 and encounter the Lord Himself all over this event.

Fasting is one of the great spiritual practices spoken of in the Bible. And for many, fasting is elusive and challenging. It was regularly practiced in both the times of the prophet Isaiah, as well as in Jesus's time. Yet, unfortunately for many people, they completely missed the point of what God intended when He told us to fast. As we look at Isaiah 58 together, we will see that fasting was actu...

The word “Gospel” means “good news,” and it's really the greatest news of all times, which is why God began to share it long before Jesus actually walked on the earth. God’s plan of salvation through His Son was declared through the words of the prophets that began the echoes of a future time. Isaiah 61 is a remarkable example of this foretelling of the good news that would affect all of humanity....

Rahab is one of the Bible’s most unique and interesting characters. It is easy to underestimate how mightily she was used by the Lord. We will learn that she is an essential part of God’s story to humanity. Although not an Israelite, God uses her to help Joshua escape death, and she ultimately becomes a part of Jesus’s family tree.

Don’t you just love it when you receive an invitation to a special event? Just the fact that someone wants us to be part of what they are doing makes us feel so appreciated and full of joy. How much more should we feel special when we realize that God Himself, the Creator and Sustainer of all things, is inviting each one of us into the grand adventure of life in the Spirit. You are invited to join...

Our new series, “Conquest,” opens up the book of Joshua in a powerful way. We get a behind-the-scenes look at how the Lord takes a moment to encourage Joshua in his new role as the leader of Israel right as he is about to take his first steps. Although Joshua had already been set apart as the new leader of the children of Israel, we see God still needs to exhort him to be strong and realize that t...

One of the most powerful prophecies that point directly to Jesus is the amazing account in Isaiah 53. The prophet Isaiah shared the exact story of Jesus’s crucifixion long before it happened. This week’s study will absolutely blow your mind as we see the prophet’s words in the Old Testament play out vividly in the New Testament account of the cross. We will hear God’s voice echoing through time an...

We all have a story. But when Jesus invades our lives, He makes our story His Story. That is absolutely what happened in the life of Pastor Daniel Fusco. Using the story of the prodigal son as a backdrop, Pastor Daniel will share the story of how Jesus became personal in his own life.

There is nothing more beautiful than when God’s voice echoes from the past into the future. It is that moment in time when we can see the fruition of the work that the Lord planned before time began. The Book of Isaiah beautifully reveals the scenario that unfolds when God arrives and the most amazing things happen - transformational things. Join us for this first message of comfort and hope in ou...

We often hear in Christian circles that God’s Word is truth. But if we are going to be perfectly honest, how do we know we can really trust the Bible? How can we know who Jesus really is? How can we know spiritual truth at all? These are not the questions just of skeptics. They can be common and oftentimes honest uncertainties on those searching for answers. Yet to find those answers, these questi...

Words mean things and are far more powerful than we often realize. They convey messages in every context in which we use them, including the way we interact with God. Have you ever thought about that? In his epistle to the early church, James gives us great insight concerning how we can express ourselves well. Join us for an intriguing look at what the Bible says about the words we speak and the i...

In this week’s message from the series My Story/His Story, we will hear the story of a pastor’s kid who walked the stereotypical path of bad choices and rebellion. Despite his best efforts to deny Christ and run from Him, God had a different plan for his life. You will find encouragement as you hear his story about how God pursued him in spite of himself and won his heart completely.

In our final message in the Truth and Lies series, we will explore some essential truths regarding what life really is all about. We will find that this is one of the most central questions we need to settle because it is ground zero for so many other matters in life. If we get this right, then many of the other issues we face will easily fall into place. That’s why it is so important that you joi...

Everything with a beginning comes to some form of end. It’s the way it is. In the same way, life on earth will one day come to an end. And while we may not get a “heads up” on the ending of many things, we can know the end of this life. In fact, the end of life as we know it has been prophesied and explained long before our generation even emerged. The beauty of knowing how things end is that we c...

Jesus knows our story even when we are unaware of His story. At some point we meet him intimately, and it is then that we realize He had His hand on our life long before we ever knew Him personally. Jesus then invites us to be part of His story and partner with Him to share the good news that He is real.

The greatest news in the world is that Jesus is real. He really lived, died and rose again. And because He did, salvation is available to everyone. But not everyone is open to that truth. There are those who doubt it. Yet the reality is that Jesus wants to share his life with us… and not just some of us either, but all of us! That is the truth about salvation and the reason you don’t want to miss...
