Crossroads - Weekend Messages

Who am I really? What is this life all about? How shall I live? These are life’s most haunting questions. And everyone is asking them in their own way, even if not out loud. The Bible gives us time-tested insights on the human condition. And Jesus invites us to follow him on a journey of discovering the answers to our questions with Him. The Art of Living is a topical series based on Jesus’ Greate...

The book of Proverbs is full of snippets of wisdom that guide us as we make our plans and look towards the future. As summer winds down and we ramp up for another exciting year of ministry at Crossroads, we'll celebrate where we have been during our past year, and what God has for us as we move into 2016. Don't miss this special conclusion to #GodsTweets this Sunday!

We live in a soundbite culture. It's no wonder why Twitter has become so popular - everyone is busy, time is valuable and we're trained to focus on little bits of information, where less is more. The book of Proverbs is like a collection of soundbites, bite-sized but with depth and wisdom meant to be unpacked. In this message from #GodsTweets, we hear some of God's soundbites from Proverbs 18.

As the book of Numbers draws to a close, chapters 33 and 34 offer a beautiful moment of pause and reflection - moments the Bible calls "Selah." After looking back to where the children of Israel had been, we continue our series by joining them in looking forward to what God has in store... for them and for us!

God has mastered the art of saying much with few words. If He had a Twitter account, it would be the Book of Proverbs, which is why we call this series #GodsTweets. This message from Proverbs 27 is full of amazing one- liners...God ’s own little truth bombs that hit us right between the eyes and change our lives!

As the book of Numbers draws to a close, Numbers 33 & 34 comprise a beautiful little moment of pause. The Bible calls those moments of pause, “Selah.” Numbers 33 takes a look back to where the children of Israel had been. Numbers 34 will take a look ahead to where the children of Israel are going. As we join them in their reflection on the journey, we will find ourselves being encouraged to look b...

Everyone loves to be positive and have a sunny outlook on life, but some things just plain need to be avoided. You can't put a positive spin on everything, there are certain things that you need to just plain run from. In this message in our #GodsTweets series from the Book of Proverbs, Pastor Daniel gives you the boundaries God has laid out to keep you healthy and happy over the course of your li...

Pastor Daniel’s pastor, John Henry Corcoran, was instrumental in Pastor Daniel’s discipleship and calling to the pastoral ministry, and he brings a special message from the Book of Philippians called “Change Your Mind.” In this message, you will be challenged to have the mind of Christ and to think in line with what our Bible tells us, in a way that makes perfect sense.

The children of Israel are on the east side of the Jordan River. Once they cross the Jordan, they will be in the Promised Land. But a few of the tribes desire to live on the east side of the River. Numbers 32 is about the unity of the people of God in the midst of their diversity.

#GodsTweets is all about God’s wisdom. The book of Proverbs is God’s amazing Twitter profile. Pearls of wisdom shared with profound brevity. Proverbs 10 begins a section that is full of God’s one-liners. Anyone who has ears to hear and a heart open for instruction will learn and grow. In this weekend’s message, Pastor Daniel will be encouraging us to Consider the Contrasts. Every decision has an o...

Sin has consequences. This reality is true for individuals, tribes and nations. Numbers 31 picks up the story line from Numbers 25. The children of Israel sinned against the Lord by committing idolatry at Baal Peor. This happened because of the influence of the Midianites and the advice of Balaam the prophet. God asks the children of Israel to exact vengeance for Him.

Known as performance-enhancing drugs, steroids promote growth and healing in the body. In the wrong hands they can be used for illegal and unethical purposes, but when used in the right ways they are essential to healing and restoration. Sometimes we need something like that to jumpstart our our spiritual growth. In this message from Proverbs 3:1-12 you will be amazed to discover how God's spiritu...

In times of crisis, people turn to God in prayer. In ancient Israel, their prayers often took the form of vows. But what happened when a woman who had taken a vow got married? Or divorced? Numbers 30 takes an interesting look at how these vows functioned within the lives of the children of Israel.

The book of Proverbs is all about wisdom. God’s desire is that His children be wise. And God has ensured that wisdom is available to us at every juncture. In this passage from the book of Proverbs, we will learn all sorts of amazing things about wisdom!

As the children of Israel continue their preparation to enter the Promised Land, we see a recapitulation of all the offerings: daily, Sabbath, monthly, as well as all the special festivals. All of these point to Jesus, who is the fulfillment of the sacrificial system!

In 2006 Twitter took the social media world by storm. A sea of one-liners appeared as everyone from movie stars to pro athletes to teens and their parents realized they could communicate whatever they wanted – but it had to be said in 140 characters or less. God already had that idea thousands of years ago. We know it as the Book of Proverbs! It's a timeless book filled with brief but powerful gem...

In our crazy lives, all of us want to find clarity. It's one thing to talk about the importance of focus, but it's another thing to achieve it. In ​H​is first public message found in the book of John, Jesus gives us the 411 on focus, and it's amazing how simple but powerful his words are. At the end of the day, if we can focus and stay focused, we will enjoy what matters most in our lives...listen...

As we come to the end of this powerful series in Esther, we are excited to look back at her story. What lessons have we learned and what truths have we uncovered? As we close this amazing book, the remarkable truths we have uncovered will come to light in a fresh way.

This chapter is all about succession. First, it deals with the case of the succession of the land of a father who had no sons. Second, it deals with the next leader of the children of Israel. God had already prepared Joshua to succeed Moses in leading the children of Israel.

The book of Esther has taught us much about God's desire to use us where we are. Now the story really comes to a head: it's the day of reckoning. Will God's people be destroyed? Or will they overcome? What does that mean for us today? This message teaches us all about God's deliverance.

As we begin our final series in the book of Numbers called, “Preparation,” we see that the children of Israel are now on the edge of the Promised Land. Between the end of Numbers and the entire book of Deuteronomy, the children of Israel are receiving their final instructions before they can take the land that God had promised them. But first, it was important to know who was in their company. So...

Solomon says, "a word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver." But many times it's easier to say the wrong thing than the right thing. You wish you could take back something you said, right after the words left your mouth. Wanna see that change? God shoots straight with everyone in his Word, and this message will help you find the keys to positive communication and become a pers...

God’s timing is, well, God’s timing...not our timing. One of the greatest struggles in life is that God’s timetable is different than ours. It's hard to trust Him. But the eyes of faith tell us that God’s timing is always perfect. In Esther 6-7, Haman concocted a plan to destroy the Jewish people, but God had another plan. And in divine irony, God demonstrated that His timing is perfect. God has a...

King Balak could not get the prophet Balaam to curse the children of Israel. But Balaam ended up giving Balak some counsel on how to tempt the children of Israel to fail. As we close out our Wilderness series, watch what happens and the dire consequences of rebellion.
