CrossTrail Community Church: Sermon Podcast

Week 8: In this episode we wrap up our study of different Psalms throughout the summer. Guest speaker Melanie Irizarry goes over Psalm, 118 and shares with us the importance of gratitude.

Week 7: Thank you for joining us as we continue our study through the book of Psalm!

Week 6: When all seems lost and God feels nowhere to found, Psalm 22 reminds us that reality is often not what it seems. Dark nights of the soul feel devastating, but hope can yet be found in God.

Week 5: We have an innate longing for home, which we spend our lives trying to find. Yet, while family is so important, home in the fullest and truest sense can only be found in God and in our future forever home. Let’s think about home together from Psalm 84.

Week 4: Are you weary from the heavy load you're carrying around? Wouldn't it be nice to lay it down? But who could you entrust it to? You've heard the twenty-third Psalm before, but maybe God wants to speak to your heart in a fresh way today through this inspired poem and invite you to a place of renewal deep down at your core.

Week 3: Special Guest Speaker Bill Finley guides through Psalm 51 to find Soul Healing and Hope

Week 2: Thank You for joining us as we continue our study of Psalms throughout the summer!

Week 1: Join us as we spend summer going through Psalms

Week 3: While the words that we speak have tremendous power, that power can be misused to cause immense destruction. How often do we regret something we said? In this message we consider the implications of the hurtful things we say and find help from God to stop the vicious cycle.

Week 2: While we tend to focus on what not to say, we have the power to speak life into people’s hearts and to heal wounds with our words. It’s vital for parents and important for all of us to utilize this God-given power every day.

Week 1: When we think about the course we hope our lives take, rarely do we consider the power of our words. Listen to this message about how our words shape our world either for good or bad.

We sometimes find ourselves in a season in which we are physically, emotionally and spiritually depleted. Burnout is a symptom of discouragement, and God wants to refresh and refuel us.

Week 5: Addiction comes in various forms, but it always wrecks your life. As powerful as it is, Jesus is the Higher Power who can free you from its chains.

Week 4: Temptation is always right around the corner waiting to lure us into a trap. But we don’t have to be victims. There are three beliefs and a three-part process that are key to defeating temptation, which Pastor Chris Workman unpacks in this message.

Week 3: Anger is an inevitable emotion, but how we handle it makes a huge difference in our life outcomes. We tend to handle it poorly, but through God’s help and guidance we can free ourselves from the tyranny of anger.

Loneliness can be as crippling as it is common. But Jesus doesn’t leave us to do life alone. Learn how to overcome loneliness through the God’s presence and the guidance given the Apostle Paul.

In this message, Pastor Chris Workman examines two contrasting biblical pictures of the kind of King that Jesus is and draws important applications.

Week 7: Faith proves to be the key to victory in the challenges and opportunities of life. It generates the power that enables you to take them on with courage.

Guest speaker Skip Vaccarello paints a broad-stroke picture of what Scripture says about Heaven that should give us an eternal perspective as we journey towards it.

Pastor Chris Workman discusses how faith gives you a singular focus on what is of greatest worth and enables you to get through the obstacles in your way.

Week 5: Faith gives us the vision to look beyond our own lifetime and invest in the future of the next generation.

Week 4: From the lives of Abraham and Sarah and their family, we find that faith enables us to look beyond what seems possible to what God has promised, and to make our choices in anticipation of the fulfillment.  100 Promises of God: https://www.openbible.info/topics/gods_promises

Week 3: From the life of Noah, we learn that faith prompts us to choose God over the world and to take righteousness seriously on our way to a new and better future.
