Crossroads - Weekend Messages

Unfortunately, there are many things in life that get overlooked. We often miss deadlines, forget to pay bills, and even neglect to take care of ourselves. In the busyness and relentlessness of our journeys, important things can fall by the wayside. This also happens in our spiritual lives. In the closing of our On Demand series in Psalms, Pastor Daniel is going to remind us of some things that we...

Music has a way of calming the soul and uplifting our spirits. Think about your favorite songs from middle school and high school. What do those songs have to say about who you were at that moment in time? Psalms 16 is the soundtrack for King David, detailing deep fears and insecurities while at the same containing profound truths about the character of God. Join us as we continue in our On Demand...

We love our technology don’t we? We love it when we have powerful Wi-Fi, when our dishwashers and appliances work well, and when our cars start right up. We’re used to it and we’ve come to expect it. But how much more powerful are the promises we have in the Lord? Promises of provision, protection, peace, and most of all His presence.. Eventually your technology will fail you and leave you disconn...

To be known is to be clearly recognized and understood. There are seasons in our lives when we can be in a crowded room and still feel unknown and misunderstood. Psalms 139 teaches us that no matter where we are, there is a God who intricately knows us. There is no place we can go, there is no thought we can have, there is no struggle that we face that God doesn’t intricately see and know. May the...

Sometimes as we read the scriptures, we run across something that at first glance appears impossible to accomplish. In addition, if it really appears to be unreasonable, it can even filter into our perception of God’s heart for us. As we unpack this Psalm of David we will gain new insights as to what it means to ‘praise the Lord at all times’.

Everywhere you look, right is wrong, wrong is right, and it feels like evil is winning…and it keeps getting worse! Believe it or not, this problem is as old as time. In the Bible, David felt it, Asaph felt it, and Jacob did too. It makes us want to give up…but there’s hope. Psalm 13 and Psalm 73 give us the keys to not just endure another day, but to thrive in whatever circumstances we’re in.

It has been said: “Trust is like a paycheck; you earn it slowly and spend it quickly.” For many of us, trust is something we place a high value on, and yet we don’t know how best to build it nor how to be generous with it. When we fail to manage trust, we create an environment where suspicion underpins every relationship we have. In Psalm 118, we discover the reason we have to trust in the LORD as...

We all love having our favorite things “on demand.” Unlike at previous times, when you could only watch a program if you happened to be sitting in front of the TV at the show’s airing time or could only hear a song if it happened to be playing on the radio, today everything is at our fingertips. This is also true of God’s favorite songs. We have an entire book called “Psalms” that have the songs o...

We have taken a slow and insightful journey, one verse at a time, through Psalm 23 in our “Wild” series. We have explored each idea, on its own, to learn and be transformed. But sometimes, we can be so enamored with a specific tree that we actually miss the entire forest. To make sure that that doesn’t happen, we will take one more pass through Psalm 23 as a whole to see the big ideas that Jesus h...

So much of life is experienced in a specific place. Think of the home that you grew up in, or the town that you live in now. We all have a unique sense of place. And given our unique personalities and preferences, we all love different places. Some people love the city while others love rural settings. Some love quiet while others like loud. What is so beautiful is that Jesus invites each of us to...

Everyone loves a good dinner party. An experienced host tends to be intentional about the many details that need to come together to ensure comfort, care & provision for their guests. As we continue reading through Psalms 23 today, we uncover a few surprises that take place for David as his Good Shepherd leads him to a dinner table. The details of this dinner come together in such an unprecedented...

Most people do not like life when it is scary. Full with fears, doubts and uncertainty, life can be the most perplexing when we find ourselves in the valleys of life. Unfortunately, we will all have those experiences. Jesus knows us and knows how hard those seasons can be. And yet, He promises to be with us, even when it is the most painful. Do not miss this special message of hope!

Our lives, whether we like it or not, contain all sorts of experiences. From the greatest victories to the most stunning defeats, from things we cannot wait to happen again to things we would never wish on our worst enemies. In that sense, life is like a journey into the wild. Life is full of everything. Thank God we have a Good Shepherd who will lead us through it all. We are excited to begin our...

Our Passover Communion Celebration is a special part of Easter Week at Crossroads. Together as a church family, we will look back at God’s deliverance of the children of Israel, reflect on Jesus’ Last Supper with his disciples, and consider our own experience as we join Jesus as his people on mission.

Who is God? Why am I here? These are the big questions. And how we answer those questions have far-reaching consequences for who we are and how we live our life. When we believe in Jesus, our life is transformed. This Palm Sunday, we will explore the basis of belief. This basis is the very personality of God.

No one likes to be in a battle, let alone a full-scale war. But if the conflict is inevitable, you want to have resources and weapons at your disposal to win the conflict. We often don’t think of prayer as a weapon, but it is. And it’s a mighty weapon at that. Join us for the close of our Into the Deep series on prayer as we look at Warfare Prayer.

Prayer has often been compared to a friendly conversation with a loving God. While this approach is fruitful and important in the life of a believer, prayer is also, by definition, a cry for help when all seems lost. In Isaiah 38, we find a prideful ruler confronted by insurmountable odds crying out to God for help. May we use his example to fuel the embers of our prayer life in a message entitled...

The importance of the church being a house of prayer, according to Jesus (Mark 11:15-19).

Have you ever felt stuck? Like you are on the precipice of something new? Have you ever known that something needs to change? When that happens you know that you need a breakthrough. And not just any breakthrough either. You need to breakthrough to God’s heart and will. We will explore Breakthrough Prayer as we look at the the life of the Prophet Daniel.

As we continue our “into the deep” series, today will uncover practical steps; or what I like to call “the 3 B’s”, of praying Bold Prayers. We see that the apostles' response to intense persecution was the catalyst that God used to bring unity, boldness & a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit to His Church. I pray that after today’s message you, too, will feel empowered to pray bold prayers & live...

There is only one place in the Gospels that the disciples asked Jesus to teach them something. They asked Him to teach them how to pray. I am so happy that they asked this question. Why? Because Jesus answered it and taught the disciples how to pray. We have so much we can learn about prayer from Jesus’ profound response.

What an amazing journey we have had together. It has taken us over a year's time but we have journeyed to the end of the Revelation of Jesus. We have seen fresh insights into who Jesus is and what He is all about. And as we bring this journey to a close, there are a series of exhortations that we do not want to miss. Because God loves us enough to share them with us.

Our God is a God of redemption. God takes what is wrong and makes it right again. God takes what is old and broken down and makes all things new. In the final few chapters of Book of Revelation, we see the Lord remaking the world. We see our God restoring and rebuilding a world that has been scared by sin.

It is unfortunate that we live in a broken and sinful world. We are so used to evil that we can often hear of something horrible and not even think much about it. We are so habituated to the effects of sin that we forget that God created everything good and right. One of the most profound effects of Jesus’ return is that everything that is wrong will be made right again. And that is absolutely glo...
