CrossWalk Church

Many of us live caught between yesterday’s pain and tomorrow’s worries. We try to hold everything together, only to feel more tired, anxious, and overwhelmed. In our message this week, we’ll talk about what it looks like to reset ourselves emotionally—not by trying harder, but by learning to trust the God who already knows our needs and cares for us deeply. Jesus reminds us that worry can’t add to...

We say our bodies are temples—but most days we treat them like afterthoughts. We push harder, sleep less, eat faster, scroll longer, and call it normal. Then we wonder why we’re exhausted, irritable, and spiritually dry. In our message, we’ll confront a hard truth our culture ignores: it’s nearly impossible to live a fruitful life when you’re running on empty. Jesus understood the power of rest. G...

Happy New Year from all of us at CrossWalk Church! It’s easy to drift when life gets busy—one day we look up and realize we’ve lost our spiritual focus. God never called us to drift; He called us to discipline our hearts and anchor our souls in Him. In our message, we’ll learn how spiritual discipline leads to spiritual direction—and how to reset our walk with God. The sermon entitled "Spiritual R...

As the new year approaches, we pray that reflecting on God's Word with a psalm written by Moses, leads you into the new year with resiliency. Happy New Year from all of us at CrossWalk Church! The sermon entitled "Resilient Reflection" was preached by Senior Pastor Tim Glende at CrossWalk Church as part of the "Resilient: Finding Joy in Difficult Times" message series. Cros...

Christmas is a beautiful opportunity to pause, reflect, and remember the hope we have because of Jesus—and it’s even better when it’s shared. Our prayer is that you experience the  peace, joy, and hope of Christmas  in a meaningful way. Merry Christmas from all of us at CrossWalk Church! CrossWalk Church - Sunday Worship: Laveen Campus: Cesar Chavez High School - 9am/11am Phoenix Campus: Camelback...

As we conclude our Resilient series through the book of Philippians, we arrive at a timely and hope-filled finale: Resilient Joy. Throughout this series, we’ve seen how God builds resilience through prayer, perspective, attitude, gratitude, confidence, maturity, and peace—not by our strength, but by His grace. In our message, we’ll discover how all of it comes together in a joy that doesn’t depend...

Ever feel like your peace has gone missing—like someone broke in and carried it off? Worry sneaks in. Fear slips through the cracks. Disagreements divide us. Thoughts overwhelm. Circumstances shake. And before we know it—our peace is gone. If you’re tired, anxious, or feeling “stolen from,” please don’t miss this message because God doesn’t just offer peace—He offers peace that guards, peace that...

We all like to think of ourselves as grown-ups—capable, independent, able to handle life on our own. But when it comes to our faith, are we really as mature as we think? In our message, we’re diving into Resilient Maturity, and we’ll confront one of the biggest spiritual lies we tend to believe: “I can do it by myself.” The truth? The first sign of spiritual maturity is admitting we still have gro...

We’re stepping into one of the most important truths in our Resilient series—where real confidence comes from. Let’s be honest: we love the "Little Engine That Could" mindset. We love self-help quotes. We put confidence in our abilities, our experience, our determination. But what happens when “I think I can” or “I am enough” isn’t enough? When life pushes harder than your strength can p...

Thanksgiving is only a few days away — and for a lot of us, the thought of being “thankful” feels more like pressure than joy. Maybe this year comes with an empty seat, a tight budget, strained relationships, or just the weight of life being…life. If that’s you, you’re not alone—and you’re exactly who this week’s message is for. In our message, we’re looking at Philippians 2 and discovering resili...

Are you more of a thermometer or a thermostat? A thermometer simply tells the temperature. If you live in Arizona, it might read 84 degrees in November — it reacts to what’s happening around it. But a thermostat? That’s different. A thermostat is connected to the HVAC unit. It doesn’t just reflect the temperature — it helps set it. Do you tend to act more like a thermometer than you'd like to...

When life gets hard how do you see it? Are you "a glass half-empty" or "half-full" kind of person? It’s all about perspective…how you see things! Life has a way of testing us — stretching our patience, shaking our joy, and challenging our strength. But what if joy isn’t about what’s happening around us… but about who’s living within us? In our message this week, we’ll discover the power of perspec...

Over the next eight weeks we'll be learning how to not only survive but thrive through life’s challenges — being Resilient. There are no quick fixes or silver bullets here. Only simple, powerful truths from God's Word that even a pastor can overlook in the busy-ness of everyday life. Take your first step toward spiritual health and resilience. Let’s learn together what it means to find our strengt...

We all have expectations. In life. In relationships. Even in faith. In our message, were diving into one of the most dramatic scenes in Scripture—Revelation 12—where a furious dragon wages war, a woman flees, angels fight, and a child brings victory. It sounds like something out of a fantasy movie, but it's more real than anything we see with our eyes. Too often, Christians are shocked by tria...

Have you ever had one of those weeks where it feels like everything is working against you? You try to stay positive, but the pressure keeps building. The truth is — you’re not just fighting stress, people, or circumstances. You’re in a spiritual battle. The Bible reminds us that our struggle “is not against flesh and blood” (Ephesians 6:12), but against unseen forces that try to pull us away from...

You probably don’t think much about enemies beyond bad drivers or rival sports teams. But what if your biggest threat isn’t what — or who — you can see? In our message, we’re diving into a spiritual reality that most people ignore, dismiss, or obsess over: supernatural enemies. The Bible says we’re in a battle — not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil. So who exactly are...

Have you ever wondered what’s really going on behind the scenes in your life? The Bible reminds us that the world is more than just what we see. As we launch a brand-new message series called "Supernatural", it’s all about the unseen realities and spiritual truths that often go unnoticed but have a real impact on our everyday lives. Over the next few weeks, we’ll explore everything from...

We come to the powerful conclusion of our "From Ruin to Restoration" message series. We’ve all experienced brokenness—in our friendships, marriages, families, and even our faith. And as we've walked through this series, we’ve seen the power of words like “I Was Wrong,” “I Am Sorry,” and “I Forgive You.” But there’s one more phrase... one final step... and it just might be the supergl...

As we look at Jesus’ parable in Matthew 18:21–35; Peter asks, “How many times should I forgive?”—and Jesus’ answer reminds us that forgiveness is a necessary step on our journey from Ruin to Restoration. But let’s be honest—forgiveness is not easy. It’s costly. It hurts. It feels unfair. Yet forgiveness is also God’s gift to us. Jesus took the full cost of our sin at the cross and gave us complete...

“I am sorry.” Three little words, yet probably some of the most overused—and misused—in the English language. Think of playing the board game "Sorry!" — when one sibling knocks another back to start, they grin and say, “Sorry!” But what they really mean is, “I’m not sorry at all—and, given the change, I’ll do it again.” Or think of teaching a three-year-old to say “sorry” after hitting a...

Ever had a relationship fall apart—and you didn’t know how to fix it? Maybe you’ve said the wrong thing… done the wrong thing… or maybe you just can’t admit that you were wrong at all. This week, we’re starting a new series called “Ruin to Restoration” — 12 words that can change your relationships, and maybe even your life. And we’re starting with three of the hardest words to say: “I was wrong.”...

Firsts are powerful. They're unforgettable. Whether it was your first job, first child, or your first time walking through the doors of Crosswalk, something about those “firsts” sticks with you. In our message, we’ll be looking at 1 Corinthians 9:19-23, where the Apostle Paul gives us a radical vision for what it means to reach people exactly where they are… even if it means giving up our own...

Sunday (08/24/25) was a special milestone for our church family as we celebrated the installation of our new pastor, Executive Pastor Tim Glende. Rooted in Jeremiah 23:23-29, today’s message reminds us that God is never far away, His Word carries power and truth, and He faithfully raises up shepherds to guide His people. Whether you’re part of our church community or just exploring faith, we invit...

On August 8, 2025 the New England Patriots unveiled a 12 foot bronze statue of Tom Brady. At the ceremony, Patriot's CEO Robert Kraft said, "There's a saying, 'People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But they will never forget how you made them feel.' For two decades, Tom Brady made the Patriots feel invincible," Do events like this ever make yo...

Every one of us comes from a family—and no two families are exactly alike. Each home has its own set of “house rules”—spoken or unspoken—that reflect what that family values: - We eat dinner together. - You made the mess, you clean it. - No screens until chores are done. - Use kind words. - Always tell the truth. - Be home before dark. What are (or were) some of your family’s rules? And what do th...
