We believe that oneness defines the kind of Biblical love that we are supposed to have in a Christian marriage, it’s the oneness with Jesus Christ that leads to oneness with each other that builds strong marriages. Marriage isn’t a human construct, it’s God’s creation. God’s word says His thoughts are higher than ours therefor one must understand that God knows how to create and design things to w...

We are heading into a season that is centered around the infamous holiday - Valentines Day. This Valentines Day there will be 9 million marriage proposals. If you were to ask, does this holiday really matter to people? A survey would argue that almost 80% of Americans say that it’s important to celebrate this Holiday. Our culture has become so used to superficial friendships and relationships, our...

Vision leads us to God’s purpose. As we close out our series on vision, this isn’t going to be a normal sermon, this is more of an update on some of what God has been doing. We will discuss a little more God’s vision for Crossroads Community church

Vision is seeing something before it happens, vision in the context of church and being a Christ follower is seeing the way that God see’s. And God has big vision, He had big vision when He calls a shepherd boy to be a giant slayer and king. God had a big vision when His vision entailed turning a symbol of death (the cross)- turned into a symbol of hope and victory through faith in His son Jesus C...

Welcome to the continuation of our series that focuses on vision. In our world today we often mark great leaders with the compliment “they are a visionary.” More often than not there is a common understanding as to what exactly that compliment means when it is given to a leader, the common understanding and assumption is that the person was able to see something before others did, they had a menta...

If you’re new with us and you’re trying to figure out what Crossroads Community Church- also known as C3, is all about, this is the perfect series for you. I look at this series as kinda like dating. Dating is all about discovering the other person, this series is a lot about who we are. If you regularly attend here then this series is a reminder, we are more than programs, we are more than fun ac...

Evangelism- an introvert’s kryptonite, but it doesn’t have to be! Too often we pawn this off as to not feeling called. Jesus commanded all of His disciples to go into all the world. The difficult reality is that the mission field can be found right in our own neighborhood or workplace. Listen as we hear some truths about ourselves and how to minister to those around us. Mentorship is often an over...

Preparation and having a plan are typically beneficial in most areas of your life. Finances are no exception to this. Our mindset must become one of stewardship- how can we best utilize what God has given us? Cody walks through how everything from budgeting to planning for financial hardship. The tongue hold far more power than we naturally think. Listen as we learn what it takes to best control i...

This is the start of our very first men’s conference here at C3! Before moving on to listening to the everyday topics that impact us as men, we must realize our desperation and reliance on the Lord. Prayer and worship are such a vital part of our walk with the Lord. Our conflicts seen through fleshly eyes here on earth are often time manifestations of spiritual battles being fought in the spiritua...

This is a sermon series where we reflect and give thanks for all that God has done and look forward to what God will continue to do here in and through C3. When we talk about vision, we aren’t talking about what we want to see, our plans, our will, our ways. When we say the word “vision”, what we are specifically referring to is seeing what God sees. Please join us as Pastor Donnie teaches from Jo...

This Christmas, don’t miss some of the gifts that God has given you. Of course we know that the biggest and greatest gift He has ever given is salvation through His son Jesus Christ. But did you know that He’s given you gifts not just for eternity but gifts for here on earth? To survive, yes we need food, shelter and water. But, what do we need to thrive in life? In order to thrive in life, we nee...

Over the past few weeks we, as a church, have been in this series titled “The Songs of Christmas”. Throughout this series we have made it a point to dive into the history of various Christmas songs and we have made it an even bigger point to talk about their Biblical meaning. A common theme within Christmas Carols is the theme of “wonder”. This theme of wonder is either referenced specifically or...

The song that we are focusing on today- Joy to the world. Is somewhat similar to the theme of silent night. It’s one of those Christmas songs that has kind of an ironic theme to it. Joy to the world wasn’t originally intended to become a Christmas song, Consider that As one of the most joyous of all Christmas hymns, this carol omits references to shepherds, angelic choruses, and wise men. That’s b...

Every year these songs are on our lips, they get stuck in our heads. Does anyone realize what we’re singing? The Gospel saturated songs that surround the season? Hark the Herold angels sing Hark means listen, Herold means messengers, combine that and the song title could also go like this – “listen to the angelic messengers sing!” This song has many themes included in it that we could study today....

Every year we hear Christmas songs in the stores, on our favorite movies and tv series, we often play them over and over during the fulfillment of our holiday traditions, and we sing them in church. Do we know the meaning behind some of the most famous Christmas songs in our culture? Do we understand the Biblical and theological meaning of the lyrics? That’s what this sermon series is about. Study...

We have to ask ourselves the question when talking about gratitude, if I had a job moment in my life and everything was stripped away, what would I think of God? Would I pin all of my problems on Him or would I look to Him as the solution? The goal today is to discuss Biblical truths that are deeper than things and materials, truths that are above circumstances. They are the biblical truths that s...

During this series we have spent the past few weeks discussing the importance of attitude and how your attitude is often a sign of your future. This week we are focusing on the gratitude side of the topic. In a negative, cynical, critical society, with so many heart breaking things influencing our culture, where do we begin with gratitude? Please join us as Pastor Donnie teaches on Gratitude from...

When you have a bad attitude it’s going to keep you from seeing and experiencing God’s future for your life. Today we will discuss the attitude of the Israelites in the book of Exodus. God had promises of using Israel, of leading them, blessing them, protecting them, establishing a holy covenant with them. Using them as an example for other nations as to what the one true God looks like and how be...

Attitude deeply impacts the trajectory of ones life, it will either put them on a pathway towards a better life or put them on a pathway to a frustrating life.

Today we would like to discuss The need for Spirit filled believer’s, the anointing and the power.
