CrossTrail Community Church: Sermon Podcast

Week 3: One of the biggest catalysts to having peace within is being gentle with the people around us so that our relationships are healthy and whole. Learn more about how to do that through this message by guest speaker and pastor Derek Koone.

Week 2: No matter what stressors we’re facing, we always can find peace through celebrating who God is and what he means to us. Worship is a cure for worry.

Week 1: Even when trouble is around us, we must not let it get in our hearts. The peace of God is ours as we learn to rest in Jesus’ comforting presence.

If this year is going to be what we hope, we will need God‘s favor, blessing and protection. Learn how to utilize these ancient spiritual practices to lay a solid foundation for the year ahead.

Week 5: Have you ever thought about how important truth really is? In this message from the Gospel of John, we see just how precious this gift is that Jesus has brought us.

Week 4: Of all the gifts God has given us, none is more impactful and far-reaching than his grace. Yet, its power is even greater than we realize when it truly takes root within us.

Week 3: While this topic tends to be neglected, we overwhelmingly see the awesome glory of God in Jesus’s arrival into this world, as well as anticipate what we will yet witness of it upon his return!

Week 2: The future often seems bleak, but Jesus’ coming has brought a profound hope that pieces through the darkness and cannot be extinguished.

Thank you for joining us this Christmas Season!

Week 4: Whether trying to live life on our own terms, control the outcomes, or even simply overestimating our understanding of how time’s should go, playing God causes us to miss the wonder of the true God.

Week 3: While we must all make some judgements in life, a hyper-judgmental spirit is both a burden to us and a detriment to others. Jesus shows us the way to judge people less and love them more.

Week 2: If you’ve been sweating on the religious treadmill feeling like your efforts are never enough to please God, you’re not alone. It’s time to lay that burden down and discover the freedom of trusting God’s grace.

Week 1: While religion tends to make pretenders who wear masks to appear better than we are, a real relationship with God is built on authenticity. In this message, we examine the motivations behind our tendency to hide our true selves, and the freedom found when we drop our masks.

Week 4: If the Bible is the Word of God, then our posture towards it and handling of it becomes vitally important. Most people get this wrong, but the right approach produces beautiful results.

Week 3: Many people question whether we be sure that the text of our modern Bibles is even true to the original documents. In this well-researched message, Pastor Chris Workman lays out the process by which the Bible has come down to us and explains why we can have confidence in the integrity of the text.

Week 2: If we look to Jesus as our role model, we would do well to carefully investigate how Jesus himself viewed the scriptures and to adopt his perspective. Pastor Chris Workman makes a strong case that if we reverence Jesus, we must respect the Bible.

Week 1: Is the Bible the Word of God? - To answer this important question, Pastor Chris Workman presents an overview of key pieces of objective evidence supporting the case for the Bible.

Week 7: It’s easy to start something. What’s hard is finishing. Yet this is a vital quality to develop if we are to attain the kind of life we hope for. This message will encourage you if you feel like quitting.

Week 6: Our fears and our aspirations both drive us to accumulate more and more, while Jesus teaches us that openhanded generosity sets us free to find contentment and the deeper joy of investing in the good of others.

Week 5: In a world of broken promises and easily discarded commitments, rewarding the trust that God and others put in us is essential to the kind of life and future we aspire to.

Week 4: Being consistent with the healthy practices we need most in life isn’t easy, but it is crucial to long-term growth. Need some motivation?

Week 3: No matter how devoted we are, we tend to overestimate our willpower. Temptation is coming, and if we don’t want to fall we must decide to be expecting it and prepared to resist. In this message, we learn how.

Week 2: It’s one thing to be religious and another to be devoted to Jesus Christ. In this message, we’re given a picture of devotion and how that decision clarifies so many other important decisions we must make in our pursuit of a fulfilling life.

Week 1: The way to a better life is through making better decisions. The Scriptures teach us how to overcome decision fatigue, decision paralysis, and the trap of making emotional decisions.

Week 9: Romans 8:37 assures us that in Christ we are “more than conquerors”! But before victory comes struggle. We must develop the mental toughness needed to take on whatever life dishes out.
