Crossroads - Weekend Messages

God places a high priority on family. He designed people to live in family units, so how a household functions matters to Him. Every family is unique, but there are very important attributes that every family should be aware of. In this message from Deuteronomy 21, learn what God had in mind when it comes to getting along with your kinfolk.

Reflecting back on 2016, God has done some amazing things in and through our Crossroads family of faith. And we know the best is yet to come. Before you head into a crazy-busy fall season, learn what Jesus means when He tells His people to shine!

We live in a broken world and one of the consequences of that reality is conflict. It is unfortunately inevitable. But God expects His people to handle their disagreements differently than those who do not know or seek to follow Him. In Deuteronomy 20 we are given some godly guidelines for resolving conflict that the children of Israel would eventually face. These principles are timeless and still...

It is an exhilarating experience to watch what God is up to in the Crossroads family. At the beginning of 2106, we sensed that the Lord was telling us that this was our year to shine. So far, that has been an amazing reality for us. But God isn’t done yet. If you want to know what the Lord is showing us for our future ventures of faith, we will be sharing a mid-year vision update this weekend!

This week in our final message in the series “Little is the New Big,” we find the most gigantic treasure in the smallest book of the entire Bible - 3 John. Tucked away in the 14 verses of this tiny book is an invaluable perspective into God’s heart towards us as well as a glimpse of the way He desires us to walk through this life in order to make the most impact. Don’t miss this extraordinary conc...

One of the more comforting realities thread throughout Scripture is the recurring theme that God is a safe place for us. As we delve into the concept of the cities of refuge in Deuteronomy 19 we discover the startling reality that God has always desired for us to know that He is a safe haven for His children. Join us for this eye-opening study that will confirm God’s unchanging and unwavering hear...

If there is one thing that we consistently hear and see in Scripture is that God has a heart for the downtrodden and discouraged. Join us this weekend as we examine some really big news pertaining to those who find themselves in this category of “broken-hearted.”

It is commonly said, “everything rises and falls on leadership.” That’s why God wanted to make sure that the priests and Levites of Israel were set apart for Him so that His people had good and Godly leaders. Join us for a message that couldn’t be timelier for us today.

All families have feuds. God’s family is no exception. Throughout Scripture we follow the longstanding dispute between Jacob and Esau, twin brothers who just couldn’t get along. Their disagreement continued on as a legacy between the nations of Edom and Israel-Judah. Our study joins the prophet Obadiah as he speaks a prophecy over the descendants of Edom. In this little book, we find a very import...

If you've been around churches for very long, you know God’s signature move is transforming lives and turning those people into agents of change for Jesus. In this powerful end to the book of Philemon, learn how God's sometimes "crazy" plans bring amazing hope to a dark and dying world.

Nobody is immune to the pain and frustration of broken relationships, and that's why this weekend’s message is so helpful, no matter where you are in life. This message from Philemon will show you a masterful approach for mending relationships so you can bring reconciliation into life's messy situations.

As Moses continues to recapitulate the law, he drills down on the three pilgrim feasts, which were designed to have all the able bodied males in attendance three times a year at the Tabernacle, and later the Temple. As we look at this area of Scripture, we will find that each one of these feasts focuses our attention on the Lord and His provision, foreshadowing God’s ultimate provision in Jesus.

A famous song asked, “I want to know what love is. I want you to show me.” Two thousand years ago God showed the world what love truly is, and this week's message from 2 John explains how love works. This Sunday we learn how God created truth and love to work together, and why they are so powerfully intertwined...it will give you a whole new outlook on what love is!

As part of the “Family of God, we should be “chips off the old block.” The children of God need to act like the children of God. As we continue looking at Family Life, Deuteronomy 15 takes us through more areas of normal family dynamics that will give us an idea of what it looks like to navigate these things in real time. Join us as we look at the attitude God wants us to have in regards to genero...

Juxtaposition requires a contrast, which for a believer would be in the difference between those who walk with God and those who do not. Yet, even within the church there exists a more subtle difference between those who live a pretense of simply responding to Jesus and those who are truly walking in that reality. As the old saying goes, “you are either a saint or you ain’t!” As we close out Jude,...

As part of the “Family of God, we should be “chips off the old block.” The children of God need to act like the children of God.

It would be awesome if everything in your walk with Jesus was easy, joyful and lovely, but that’s not always reality. This message on the book of Jude tackles the tension between what you want your faith to look like and what it really is, and shows you how to fight and contend for your faith like never before.

The book of 1 John presents somewhat of a “love/hate” relationship for us as believers. The author was known as the “Apostle of Love” yet we find his approach to be more “tough love” than “fluff love.” He says things that challenge us to the core and encourage us to go deeper than ever in our walk with Jesus. Join us as we take a fresh look at what it means to “Walk in the Light” from the loving h...

You are on your own personal journey, but you're also part of a much larger narrative - the story of humanity. That story began all the way back in the Garden of Eden, with Adam and Eve. This message explores how mankind's journey of faith originated and reveals surprising truths about your own walk with Jesus.

God is passionate that His people worship no other God, but people are easily influenced, and peer pressure is a very real thing. In this message we find out God’s take on negative influences that take us away from Him. This eye-opening message drives home the point that when it comes to life’s choices, the best course of action is simply, “Don’t mess around.”

Our second series in the book of Deuteronomy is called “Blueprints,” and it begins with instruction on worship. We will discover why as we make our way through the second telling of the law to the generation entering the Promised Land. In looking at the sanctuary and the sacrifices, we will realize that the reason for such specific instruction on worship is because it is foundational in our relati...

Everybody wants to be free regardless of how that’s defined. Whether it’s free from an addictive behavior, a horrible job, a crippling debt, a debilitating illness, or something else, nobody likes to feel like they’re a slave to anyone. We want to be free, but how do we get there? In one of the most powerful little statements in the Bible, Jesus tells us.
