At CrossWinds, we believe that Jesus Christ, as our representative and substitute, shed His blood on the cross as the perfect, all-sufficient sacrifice for our sins. His atoning death and victorious resurrection constitute the only ground for salvation. Dive into what this reality with us this morning.

Jesus is universally recognized as a great moral example, an insightful teacher, and a defender of the poor. The question of Jesus being fully God divides the world. The Jehovah's Witnesses say that Jesus never claimed to be God. Buddhism teaches that Jesus was not God but an enlightened man like Buddha. Islam teaches that Jesus was a prophet of God, but not the Son of God. Which is true? Join us...

AW Tozer once wrote, "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." It is not enough for us to believe in God—we must have the right beliefs about God. But what are they? Join us this Sunday at CrossWinds Church in Spencer as we consider the answer from the Bible.

Is the Bible worthy of our trust? Many consider the Bible an old fantasy book akin to Harry Potter. It is historical fiction, not grounded in reality. College professors also sow doubt in tender minds claiming the Bible is riddled with errors. Is this the truth? Join us as we examine logical and historical reasons we can trust the Bible.

Anthony David, who plays for the Mavericks, went through growing pains. In 18 months, he grew 8 inches making him the most sought-after high school athlete his senior year. His growth spurt had rewards, but it brought the challenge forcing him to relearn his game. Similarly, church growth has challenges and rewards. In this study, we learn how to face growth successfully.

As a church, we are reaching our community with Jesus. What kind of reactions should we expect? How can we be more effective when we speak about Jesus? What do we need to remember when in an awkward situation under pressure? These are some of the important questions we will answer in this study.

A recent trend in college is students using AI to write their papers. The problem is that the work isn't their work. They are portraying themselves to be better writers than they are. This is called posing. In Acts 5, we see how God feels about posing and why it is corrosive to our lives.

This week, President Trump met with the leader of South Africa. He showed him a video of black South Africans calling for the death of white farmers. It was racial conflict at its worst. Conflict fills the news and our homes. The last place we want conflict is the church. Join us as we learn how God creates unity but we are to maintain it.

Join us this morning as we dive into what it means to have our identities defined by Christ rather than the world gleaning in on 1 Peter 2:4-10.

When trials come, we long to escape them. We see them as holding us back. The Bible has a different picture. God's word tells us how God uses trials to build us up, not tear us down. In this study, we also look at how to be persecuted for Jesus and handle it well.

Have we developed a myopic vision of the gospel that can't see Jesus beyond our community? For mission Sunday, we explore God's vision for reaching the nations with the good news of Jesus. We also examine the book of Philippians to move beyond traditional mission support into gospel partnerships.

The first 300 years of church history saw ten major persecutions against Christians. In many parts of the world, physical suffering still comes with following Jesus. Today, Satan prefers to attack the ego instead of the body. Join us as we learn why we should expect suffering and how to handle it well.

At Easter, Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. What is the big deal? How does Jesus' resurrection from the dead change everyday life? Join us to find out the answer.

Christians gather to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus. Why is Jesus' death good news for us? What did it accomplish that we could not have done? Join us as we examine Jesus' death and what in love He accomplished for us.

How does God treat us when we have failed miserably? In Acts 3, Peter tells us how Jesus came not to cross out our sins but to wipe them away. Join us as we learn how to have a fresh start in life.

Today, there is a longing to get back to the basics. People are cooking with cast iron instead of Tephlon. They are looking for organically grown produce. While progress is good, there is a place for getting back to the basics, the way God created things to be. The same is true in the church. In the busyness of the modern church, it is good for us to make sure we haven’t forgotten the basics of th...

How do we tell people about Jesus? What are the most important things for us to say and for others to know? In this passage, Peter preached the first sermon about Jesus. He gives us a template to follow when telling others about Jesus.

What are the most important birthdays in the world? The birth of Jesus would be the most important, but right behind it is the birth of the church. In this study, we examine the coming of the Holy Spirit and if we should expect to speak foreign languages through the power of the Holy Spirit today.

How do we make tough decisions in a complex world? As we learn more about the church’s birth, we see how Jesus leads His church from heaven when His people face tough decisions on earth. These verses help all of us learn to make right decisions in difficult times.

Acts is the story of how the risen Lord Jesus worked through His apostles to reach the world with the good news of Jesus. How did Jesus prepare the apostles for this awesome task? Join us as we learn how Jesus equips us to reach people with Jesus.

Acts is the story of how the church went from a handful of believers hiding in Jerusalem to conquering the world in 30 years. It is the story of how God uses ordinary people to reach the world and save lives. Join us as we learn how God takes our weak witness and transforms it to reach people and save lives.

When I ignore offering, does it matter? Does my giving to God affect the king of income God gives me? When I see something on the Internet and dive deep into something my eyes shouldn't see. Does it matter? After all, it is private. Things in my private life don't impact my public life… or do they? Join us as we look at Haggai and learn why obedience matters to God.
