Crossroads - Weekend Messages

As we begin to bring the book of Leviticus to a close, we have a very serious chapter. God makes promises to the children of Israel. For those who obey, there will be blessings. For those who disobey, there will be curses. God places the outcome in the people’s hands, much as God does today. This chapter will have some rich insights for each of us!

The Holy Spirit, as He inspired the Apostle Paul to write the letter to the church in Corinth, is absolutely laying out a profound case for supremacy of love in the life of the follower of Jesus. We first saw that without love, nothing is of any value. Then we saw love defined. In this message, we are learning that, even with our understanding, there is way more growth that needs to take place. We...

It has been said that the Bible is about God, the people and the land. From Genesis to Revelation, we actually see these themes played out. There is a God who calls a people to Himself. And God places those people in a land by inheritance. Leviticus 25; deals with various aspects of these themes. Addressing concepts like Land Sabbaths, the Year of Jubilee and care for the poor, we see over and ove...

In one of the most commonly known biblical passages, Pastor Daniel will begin to unpack the love that is essential for our lives. 1 Corinthians 13 defines God's love for us in Jesus. As we define love, we see Jesus revealed in our own hearts and lives. God wants to reveal this love to us, in us, and through us. This is Part 2 of the Love Defined.

If there is one thing that the Holiness series has taught us, it is that God sees things differently than we do. When the Lord sets something apart for a special purpose, there is a commitment to seeing it utilized in that way and that way only. In Leviticus 24; we will see three things that are sacred and how the people are meant to set it apart.

When it comes to love, our English language uses one word that has many different meanings. How we define love will significantly help or harm our life. Get God's explanation of what love was always supposed to mean, as The Greatest continues.

This chapter is the holiday calendar for the children of Israel. Because of God’s presence among His people, celebration is not an option. God’s love, care, and provision should be continually celebrated and remembered. So Leviticus 23 is all about God’s people celebrating God’s working. In this second part of the message, Pastor Daniel will be focusing on the celebrations.

The simple truths of math teach us that if/when something is subtracted from something else, something new exists. As we embark on a new series through one of the most famous passages of Scripture, 1 Corinthians 13; we will begin by learning “The Mathematics of Love.”

This chapter is the holiday calendar for the children of Israel. Because of God’s presence among His people, celebration is not an option. God’s love, care and provision should be continually celebrated and remembered. So Leviticus 23 is all about God’s people celebrating God’s working.

In the only appropriate close to our This Just Got Real series, we look at the Holy Spirit in Acts 1. Before Jesus ascended into heaven, He promised the power of the Holy Spirit and then went home to send what He promised. What does it mean that His Spirit is with us and in us? It's a radical new reality, and once God's people get a hold of it, there's no stopping what God can do!

The focus in Leviticus 21-22 moves back to purpose and function of the priests. Because God is holy, the office of the priest must be holy as well. Not only that, but the office is of more importance than the individual who is fulfilling the office. Over and over again in these chapters, we see God’s design for the priests to be His representatives to the people and the people’s representative to...

The Resurrection may be finished, but Jesus isn't even close to finished yet. He invites each of us into His story to make history. It's know as the “Great Commission,” and this message breaks it down and explores all that Jesus offers us in His amazing invitation.

Leviticus 20 forms a natural appendix to the contents of Leviticus 18-19. Now we see the penalties that should be carried out if the behaviors discussed in Leviticus 18-19 were to transpire. With Leviticus’ continued emphasis on holiness, it would make sense that unholiness has consequences.

Jesus is resurrected from the dead. It's the death of death itself. And it literally changes everything. Many ask how? Why? For what? Learn more about why we celebrate Jesus with unending joy, because This Just Got Real.

Our Passover Communion Celebration has become an annual time of celebration for us here at Crossroads. We take some time during Holy Week to look back to God’s deliverance of the children of Israel from Egypt. Then we look towards Jesus’ Last Supper with his disciples. This was a Passover Seder in fulfillment. Finally we look to our present moment as we stand before the Lord as his people on missi...

Palm Sunday is a day when Christians traditionally celebrate Jesus being declared king by the Jews. Now we look deeper into that story and find that Jesus doesn't always do what we expect him to. In this case, you'll learn about a "Jesus throw down" that will change your life the same way it changed many others, thousands of years ago.

As we continue our series “Holiness” in the book of Leviticus, we come to a chapter that contains a variety of moral and ceremonial laws. Some of these laws are being restated again. Others we are hearing for the very first time. This chapter covers many different topics and situations. Indeed, it contains all sorts of truth. This is the second part of Pastor’s Daniel message on Leviticus 19.

This Just Got Real. And the reason it just got real is Jesus. It's totally Jesus’ fault! Who He is, what He did and what He's up to changes the world forever. Everyone who encounters Him is forever transformed. How does He meet us and what does it look like to simply respond to Him? Find out more in this powerful message about how He sees His people, the Church.

In its first four years, Village Church has grown from 50 to over 3,000 people. Their pastor, Mark Clark, visits Crossroads and shares about the simple story of the Prodigal Son from Luke 15. Jesus shows us how we are all 'lost' and even better, how to be found again. We will all find ourselves somewhere in this story, but often in unexpected ways that can change our lives forever.

Ecclesiastes shows that you only live once and without God, life would be more hopeless than you can imagine. In the final part of our #YOLO series, the Preacher of Ecclesiastes unveils the "best practices" for living.

"If only I would have...." is a phrase we know all too well. Recognizing we only live once, how nice would it be to discover bite-size nuggets of wisdom that would guide us around or through life's pitfalls? Eccelsiastes 10-11 gives us the wisdom we all long for.

How many of you remember the song “We Are The World?” In 1985 “USA for Africa” recorded the song and raised over $60 million for people on the African continent. You only live once, and we are all human together, sharing the circumstances and struggles of humanity. How do we live in unity with people around us, and experience the incredible life that God designed us for? #YOLO.

As we continue our Holiness series in the book of Leviticus, we continue to see God’s love and concern for His people. God is not looking for us to compartmentalize our faith. Instead God wants our faith to be completely integrated into our daily lives. One area that has always been a struggle for humanity is the area of sexual relations. God has very specific ideas about what is and isn’t holy wh...
