What does God want us to want? And what does He want us to leave behind? Wrapping up RESOLUTE with this message from Chad Everett leaves us longing to go 'all in' and walk out the powerful truth of saying YES to God and His best for our lives. Burn your boats, barbecue your ox, and jump in to an amazing life in Christ.

Christianity is different from other religions in that God is trying to reach his followers, not vice versa. He sent his son Jesus to connect with all humanity. At Christmas, we celebrate by giving gifts. Discover Jesus, the greatest gift ever. Find out what it means to unwrap God's best for your life, not just at Christmas, but the whole year through.

RESOLUTE: "Marked by firm determination, bold & steady" Find out what this looked like in Ruth, and what it looks like for us today. Pastor Chad Everett challenges us to ask God these 2 questions: "What do you want me to want?" AND "What do you want me to leave behind?" Moving into God's best for our lives means becoming RESOLUTE. Discover how in this dynamic message.

Trusting God is a deliberate decision we make everyday. Trust is an attitude. Experience a new level of trust by discovering what God's word has to say. Chris Pollard, Youth Pastor at Crossroads Bible Church, shares personal challenges & victories in this encouraging message.

The 7th and final in the series of Inside Out Living. Like a seed, what is ALREADY in you is EVERYTHING you need for every situation & circumstance that life throws at you. Just break forth into the power of God on the inside of you by the power of Jesus & enjoy freedom!

Being internally defined by Jesus brings strength & stability to every area of life. Walking by what God has deposited on the inside of us at salvation is the only way to live an overcoming life. Everything we need is on the inside of us. God already prepared it for us as His sons & daughters, we just have to partake. Sow the good seed of the word in your heart & watch change happen from the insid...

Part FIVE of what it looks like to live from the inside-out. Beyond the importance of being a believer, there is more to growing up & bringing the intentions of heaven to earth. Let's grow up together as a people living in the freedom Jesus intends for us. Listen to find out how to live a better life on earth by using what God has made available to us.

Even though we are conditioned to believe our 5 senses, our outer man is not qualified to validate inner man truths. Tap into the inner truth, for the inner man power of Jesus is the solution for all of our outer man problems. Listen to hear how the hope on the inside outweighs the afflictions on the outside as we continue this powerful series.

Your outward self & your inner self are two different things. Don't be fooled into using your five senses to prove your inward man is being renewed. It's a supernatural truth whether your senses recognize it or not. It's time to kick out wrong thinking that says your outward is perishing and your inward self isn't being renewed. That's a LIE! Apply God's truth to turn feeling into believing.

Today your inner man is what God wants to draw on to change you from the inside out. When we ask God about our feelings, instead of just trying to work them out for ourselves - we realize there are things that God never intended us to feel. Be hooked on what God says about you! Jesus' words are life to you. When we have God on the inside, what's on the outside - doesn't stand a chance!

Pastor Chad Everett, in his series, "Inside-Out Living," reminds us that God has created us to live from the inside out. Too many times we are bombarded with too many pressures on the outside, and we assume the solutions also come from the outside and that if we'll get some external relief, we'll feel better. God doesn't want us to live that way. God doesn't want us to live a reactive life, but wa...

God has given you grace - the means, the opportunity and legal power - everything you need to accomplish your purpose. Your accomplishments in the earth are to gain a platform of influence for your real purpose and that is to impact people's lives for the kingdom of God. Jesus held nothing back when He gave you everything you needed.

Another exciting week in the series "Who Am I? & Why Am I Here?" Pastor Chad Everett focuses on two questions in light of finding purpose and fulfillment in your life - 1) Where do I fit? and 2) What is my function? Remembering that your purpose is not what you do, but who you become - God has a place and function for you to fit and it's unique and valuable.

We continue to pursue our purpose and ask the question - "Why Am I Here?" in Part 8 of "Who Am I? & Why Am I Here?" Everything we are doing in life - we all have the same general assignment from God - to open people's eyes and turn them from light to darkness, and from the power of Satan to the power of God. God gives us everything we need to do what He's assigned us to do. He's given each one of...

Pastor Chad Everett gets real and personal in Part 7 of "Who Am I? & Why Am I Here?" And gives us the big picture when it comes to our purpose as sons and daughters of God, and standing firmly planted as our purpose is tested and opposed.

Your purpose is NOT a singular event, job or assignment. It's NOT a singular thing that you DO. If our purpose is something we do - we'll look at our value based on our success. Pastor Chad Everett challenges us in "Who Am I & Why Am I Here? Part 6 - that our purpose is about the someone we become, and not on what we do!

Sometimes in life we can be barricaded in by a lie that we're believing. In Part 5 of Pastor Chad Everett's sermon - "Who Am I & Why Am I Here" - we'll learn how to pass the "familiarity test" and remove the barriers and limitations put into our lives that God didn't intent for us to have. We can all suffer from familiarity blindness. We just can't keep it from holding us back from stepping into "...

You are unique! In Part 4 of "Who Am I? & Why Am I Here?" we're going to discover how to pass the comparison test. There are over 7 billion people on the earth today, and you're not just unique among them - you're unique among every single other human being that's ever been or ever will be created. There has never been your combination of DNA ever! Don't waste that one thing that makes you unique...

If we're going to know who we are in Christ, we're going to have to pass the Popularity Test! People are shielded from freedom because of fear and worry about what other people think about them. Where do you get your approval from? Another person? Does it really matter what people think about you? It's time to come into agreement with what the Father says about you!

If someone were to ask you - "What is Crossroads about?" Would you know what to say? Pastor Chad Everett continues with Part 2 of "Who Am I? & Why Am I Here?" and focuses on the vision of Crossroads, and breaks it down into two simple words - "Who" & "Why." We are all about helping people find out who (identity) they are in Christ, and why (purpose) they were born.

Most problems in people's lives can be boiled down to two issues - not knowing who they are and not knowing why they are. In Pastor Chad Everett's sermon, "Who Am I? & Why Am I Here?" he begins to share the importance of vision for every person's life. The "Who you really are," can only be found in your vertical relationship with God. The "Why you are," is found in our horizontal relationship with...

What isn't measuring up in your life? Chris Pollard, Youth Pastor, encourages us through his sermon, "When It Doesn't Measure Up," as he explores the story of Hannah. Persistence is a key value in life. It's the key to unlocking God's promises. Go for that thing you're believing God for. #ItsGoingToHappen

You get one shot. Don't be a sideliner just sitting and watching life go by. Get in the game. Embrace life. Your life is supremely valuable, and meant to glorify God and delight in Him forever. It does require a posture of surrender. Trust Him! He will make your path straight. #icandothat

In Blake Bradley's "The Mind of Christ Part 2," he encourages us that when life gets tough and hard, we can start to blame God and believe a lie about the character and nature of God - BUT He's a good dad, and He's with us in and through the waiting and the pressing, as we put on the mind of Christ.

The final sermon in the series, "Fixer Upper," Pastor Chad Everett talks about two final gates, each with its own application. The East Gate -where Jesus will return - is all about finishing strong, and The Inspection Gate is when Jesus will gather all believers and reward each one for doing what God has asked them to do in this life. Jesus is REAL, and He's REALLY coming back. Be ready!
