Crossroads - Weekend Messages

As we continue our series unpacking the Miracles of Jesus, today’s message will reveal His radical response to desperate faith. We learn that it’s not the size of our faith that moves mountains but the intention behind Who our faith is in. When we put our faith and trust in Jesus, we recognize that He restores what is broken, His love knows no end, and even our smallest step of sincerely seeking H...

One of the most famous miracles of Jesus is the feeding of the 5,000. It is the only miracle that all four of the Gospels speak of. There are soo many reasons for this. Maybe most provocatively, it’s because the children of Israel still rejoiced in God’s feeding the multitudes in the wilderness with the bread of heaven. And now, in Jesus, a new and greater Moses was here. As we explore this amazin...

Jesus is many things. Preacher. Prophet. Savior. Lord. Yes, all of these things. But Jesus is also a miracle worker. There are soo many miracles contained within the Gospels. So as we begin our Miracles of Jesus series, it seems right to start at Jesus’ very first miracle, the transformation of water into wine in Cana of Galilee.

Here we are. Another year. But 2025 is a very, very special year for the Crossroads family. Why? Because our church family turns 50 years old this year. On October 5, 1975, Crossroads humbly began at Columbia River High School. And what God has done!!! We will be celebrating throughout this entire year as we embark on a Year of Legacy.

The new year often brings hope for so many. This is because we all want a fair shot at a new beginning. Unfortunately, a new calendar date doesn't always equal new habits and healthier life choices. Jesus offers a more accurate reality. The Gospel is unique in providing the fresh start we all want because it gives us a brand-new life. The only way to truly start over is by exploring the life-givin...

It’s Christmas Eve! It is time to celebrate and stand in awe of the most important birth in history. Every child that is born is a gift. Every parent is in awe of the blessing of a new life entering the world. But the birth of Jesus is completely and utterly unique. Why? Because Jesus is Emmanuel, which means “God with us.” Together we will look at the response of a man named Simeon to the birth o...

There may not be a more exciting time than the last few days before Christmas. In our contemporary culture, especially for children, there is soo much excitement. We are right there, on the threshold, of something beautiful. To put this idea into the account of the birth of Jesus, the impending birth of the Messiah was a tectonic shift in everything. The coming of God’s Son would change the entire...

The Christmas season is trademarked with flashing lights, frosty weather, too many sweets, and lots of joy. If we aren’t careful, we can fill our schedules with to-do’s and have-to’s, as opposed to making room for what’s most important. When we look at the birth of Jesus, we see that God can use the most unique circumstances to bring forth His divine purposes. This Advent season, let's choose to i...

The advent season, in the life of the people of God, is all about waiting. We are awaiting the celebration of the birth of Jesus. Let’s be honest, most people despise waiting. There is a reason that one of the characteristics of the fruit of the Spirit is patience. Biblical patience isn’t only about us waiting, but also how we behave as we wait. Since we are embracing this Unique Season, it is a p...

As a husband of almost 19 years, I find lists from my wife extremely helpful. I sometimes wish everything had a comprehensive list of to-dos to help me stay focused and on task. Often, I find myself searching the scriptures for a list of steps to take to follow after Jesus. While Jesus calls us deeper into a more relational approach, His younger half-brother, James, provides us with a helpful inve...

In a world where complaining permeates our conversations, our culture, and our hearts, we can use gratitude as both the healing antidote to what ails us and the weapon that empowers us. But this is not a surface-level “put on a happy face and pretend everything is fine” type of gratitude. This is a gratitude that takes cultivation, long suffering, and surrender; only then can it become a deep well...

Life is full of seasons. Just as the weather changes from season to season, so do our lives. In each season, there are unique blessings and also unique challenges. The key is to learn to trust God in each season. This weekend, we are beginning a brand-new series that will lead us from before Thanksgiving until New Years, as we will look at the uniqueness of the end of the calendar year.

One of the driving passions in the life of Paul the apostle was to bring the gospel of Jesus to Rome. Through all of his journeys, this had been his focus. What is even more extraordinary was that Paul, in writing to the church in Rome, was hoping to use Rome as a jumping-off point to bring the gospel into Spain. At last, here in the final chapter in the book of Acts, Paul arrives in Rome. His tri...
