In our message this week, we see that God makes a covenant with Noah, all humanity, and every living creature—promising never again to destroy the earth by flood. The rainbow becomes His sign of mercy and faithfulness, a reminder that even after judgment, God offers hope. His promises are everlasting. Jesus is the fulfillment of that mercy—for everyone. In Him, God’s faithfulness takes on flesh an...

As we continue our message series in Genesis, we catch up with Noah just after he steps off the ark. Imagine the trauma he and his family carried after a year of floodwaters, destruction, and isolation. Where do you even begin to process all of that? Noah’s first response was to build an altar and give thanks to God. Worship and praise may not be our instinctive response after hard seasons—but it...

This past Sunday marked a special moment at CrossWalk Church as Staff Minister Phil Bischoff is officially installed as the new leader of our Midtown campus. Although Phil has been a faithful part of the CrossWalk ministry for many years, this is a new beginning—a new chapter for him, his family, and the Midtown community. We see a similar turning point in Genesis 9, where Noah steps onto dry land...

God is holy. He is completely good. He won't supress the truth. He can't sit by and let sin and death reign. God means what he says about the dangers of unchecked wickedness. God is patient. He waited 120 years before sending the flood. He is patient with me in my struggles. God is a rescuer. God provided Noah with the ark. He provides all of us with Christ, our ultimate rescuer. God keeps...

Some people think the account of The Flood in the Bible is a myth. Others think it's a description of a mean and angry God. As we continue our message series in Genesis, and we will go through the account of The Flood. We will see how The Flood is part of God's story of rescue, renewal, and redemption from sin. Did you know that that New Testament has several passages about The Flood? Jesu...

What do you do with a world that’s broken beyond repair? As we continue our message series in Genesis, the scene we encounter isn’t pretty. God is so fed up with humanity that he informs Noah: “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth." - Genesis 6:13 So… what does God do when He sees a...

What breaks your heart? Maybe it’s seeing animals mistreated or neglected. Maybe it’s the images of police and protestors clashing in the streets of LA. Or perhaps it’s something more personal—broken relationships, injustice, or unrest in your own community. As we continue our Genesis message series, we come face-to-face with what breaks God’s heart. Genesis 6:5 paints a sobering picture: “Every i...

"Our Father in heaven"... That's the opening line of The Lord's Prayer--the prayer Jesus taught us to pray. What comes to your mind as you say that opening line? Do you think about your own dad--both the good and bad? Do you think about how God views us, his children? Do you breeze past that line or have you never really thought about what is means that God is not only our God, b...

Do you know the difference between forgiveness and consequences? Here’s a little story to illustrate: A pastor is driving down the road — and speeding. He gets pulled over by a police officer, who lets him know he was going 12 mph over the speed limit. The pastor replies, “I’m so sorry. I wasn’t paying attention and didn’t realize how fast I was going. Would you please forgive me?” The officer ret...

Can you believe it’s been 20 years, or more than 1,000 Sundays of setting up and tearing down? God is on the move at CrossWalk — and we’re excited to share that we’re on track to break ground on our new campus by September 1, 2025! But we’re not waiting to celebrate. This special "Moving Forward" celebration is more than a milestone. It’s the start of something we’ve prayed for, waited f...

As Memorial Day approaches, we pause to remember and honor those who gave their lives in service to our country. It’s a time for deep reflection on the sacrifices made by men and women who died defending the freedoms we so often take for granted. What inspires someone to lay down their life in service? While the answer is personal to each individual, common threads often include: - Love of country...

Are You Healthy? This can be a loaded question. There are lots of factors that go into good health. And, who or what gets to decide if you're healthy or not? Your doctor? The scale? The mirror? Your blood test results? God is concerned about your physical health. But, it doesn't stop there. He's just as concerned about your mental and emotional health as well. And...one more area. Our connection t...

Moms lead and love their children day in and day out in countless ways. They deserve to be recognized! And, this Sunday we're going to talk about family - the most important family there is - God's family. God has some very important things to say to leaders in His family. And, you'll see that his words don't just apply to the leaders, but to everyone. Discover what it means to be...

In this message, we lean into a trustworthy saying from the Apostle Paul in Titus 3. Paul doesn’t shy away from truth. He reminds us of how lost and enslaved we once were — driven by passions, deceived, and stuck. But then, he turns the corner with these powerful words: “But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, He saved us…” (Titus 3:4-5) That’s the heart of the message: God does...

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:5-6 📖 The sermon entitled "Who Are You?" was preached by Guest Pastor Mark Wagner at CrossWalk Church, in part of the “Trustworthy: Reliable Truths for a Truly Great Life" message series. CrossWalk Church - Sunday Worship...

Good Friday and Easter are not only the climax of Jesus' life, they are the climax of the history of mankind. From the moment God promised Adam and Eve a Savior, all mankind waited with anticipation for God's rescue plan to unfold. Stand in amazement of the power of God as Jesus rises from the dead. Resurrection Sunday '25 CrossWalk Church Worship Playlist: - "Glorious Day" b...

In the world of sports, we love debating this question, "who’s the greatest of all time? - Is it Michael or LeBron? (Clearly Jordan…) - Tiger or Jack? - Ruth or Bonds? - Brady or Montana? - Gretzky or Ovechkin? - Messi, Pelé, or Ronaldo? - Ali or Tyson? These debates are fun because they force us to define greatness—and greatness is often loud, flashy, and dominant. But as we celebrate Palm S...

Practicing for emergencies helps prevent panic. When danger strikes, knowing what to do can save lives. This week at CrossWalk Church, we’re looking at Genesis 3, where Adam and Eve faced a crisis. They did exactly what God told them not to do. And instead of turning to Him, they hid, blamed, and rationalized their sin. What should we do in a sin emergency? Hear God’s plan for our spiritual rescue...

Have you ever played "Two Truths and a Lie?" It’s a game where someone shares two truths and one lie, and you have to figure out which is which. This week at CrossWalk Church, we’re diving into Genesis 3, where Adam and Eve faced a bigger challenge: who’s telling the truth—God or the serpent? The answer may not be as obvious as you think. Explore what happens when you chose truth over de...

Do you enjoy being alone? There’s something peaceful about escaping on a solo hike, just you and the open trail. If you want company, maybe you bring your dog—no complaints, no questions, no frustration. Just quiet solitude. And it’s good. But sometimes, being alone isn’t good. When facing challenges you don’t know how to fix, do you withdraw? Isolate? Simple things—like answering a call or sendin...

Having something or someone as part of my life means there are other parts of my life where they are not a part of it. Genesis 2:7 says, "Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being."We weren't created to have our Creator be part of our lives, but the center of it. Why is it vital to keep God as the...

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. - Genesis 1:31a, NIV. How do you know when something is complete? Imagine Michelangelo sculpting David—how did he decide that one more chisel stroke would be too much? Or Leonardo da Vinci painting the Mona Lisa—when did he know that adding another brushstroke would take away from its perfection? This Sunday at CrossWalk Church, we continue our j...

This week at CrossWalk Church, we’ll look at the final days of creation—you could call it God’s staging day.- We’ll see how He creatively fills space in the sky and the universe.- We’ll explore the special touches He adds to the waters and the air.- We’ll witness how He thoughtfully filled the world to engage all of our senses. And here’s the best part—He did it all because He loves you. Experienc...

Have you ever heard someone say, "A place for everything and everything in its place."?There is something undeniably calming about having things neat and in order. How about you? Do you appreciate structure and order, or does life sometimes feel a little messy? In our message this week we’ll explore the intentional, structured mind of God—clearly seen in everything He created. From the formation o...
