Worship and allegiance to God while acknowledging out Christian obligation to submit and pray for government. How can Christ followers be salt and light as Americans without falling into the two equal and opposite traps? Patriotism becomes idolatry or indifference toward engaging and influencing culture by assuming our full freedoms. (Prayer for Nation)
Why is God so concerned over marital promises? What is really at stake when we fail to recognize the sacredness of holy matrimony, the special union between a man and a woman?
Humans fall into coveting because we have a sin nature that is self-centered and justifies entitlement. Christians most often struggle with coveting out of a distorted view of God and a misunderstanding regarding identity as our perfect Father. We comply with this commandment when by faith we chose to believe in God's perfect parenting skills and righteous benevolence toward His children.
From Genesis to Revelation, every time God mentions human sexuality it is clear that our sexuality is to be exclusively tied to purity. But how do we define "purity?" Chris Campbell explores this topic from a biblical point of view. Also, join us as we celebrate with the Brooks family as Tom and Jill renew their vows.
What is the roll of a Christian man? Pastor Chris Campbell explores this question and it's implications. Afterword, Pastor Chris Eads joins him to answer questions from the congregation.
What God has chosen not to tell us and why.

Because of the imperfection of the church, many believers treat the local church like their local restaurant. They come and go based on their appetite. But God calls his people together to be a family, not a buffet (Acts 2:42). There is a power in collectively coming together, striving to move towards an understanding of holiness. Not because we have to, but because we get to. Join us as we celebrate our 5-year anniversary and, both pastors Chris Eads and Chris Campbell, explore the characteristics CrossCurrent strives for.
Join us as we examine the unexpected, yet purposeful, journey God has taken us on as a church over the last five years as we come up to our 5 year anniversary.

Skeptics have lost hope that organized religion has any value. Believers are suffering discouragement with the local church, being bored, disenchanted, and unsatisfied. Most people want more from God, but can't absorb another Sunday of lifeless ritual or another split of petty divisiveness among the people who are supposed to be called brothers. Join us as we explore what to do with the messy and broken, the fractured and flawed, beautiful and glorious thing called the church.

In one way or another, and at some point or another, every living human being receives a specific message from this world. The message is this: It is unsafe to be unaccepted. At the core of our human spirits, many of us struggle with the fear of being unnacepted by others. Today, guest speaker Greg Genter takes a look, with us, at what the Bible has to say about facing this fear in our lives, and finding the salvation and freedom that is ours when we let Jesus re-write our life story!
When Jesus rose from the dead and returned to the Father, it was a scary moment of transition for His followers who had given so much to walk with him for those three years. Now, He had one last chance to lay the most important instructions on them. Join us as we conclude our year-long study of the life and teachings of Jesus, and explore the most important conversations Jesus had with his people, and see what they might mean for us today!
If we are truly hungry for authentic spirituality, we need to realize that it is not a spectator sport. Simply going to church, and sitting in rows, observing what happens on stage is not authentic spirituality. Rather, it is only a catalyst. This morning we will be challenged by a guest speaker, David Nicotra, to step into, with all we are, a life lived in Christ, authentically, spiritually. (Introduction by Chris Eads)
We're heard the concept of Jesus as Lord. Earlier in our Jesus Experiment series, we took several weeks to explore the idea of Jesus as Lord, and our call to commit ourselves to living out the will of God. Beyond the responsibility to yield ourselves to commitment and obedience to Jesus, there is an active role that Jesus takes in providing leadership and oversight to all the aspects of our lives. In scriptures, Jesus is called Lord, Judge, King, and the Head of the Church. It becomes so much easier to yield ourselves to God's will when we understand the active role Jesus provides in leading us. We will discover a new comfort and strength to our daily lives when we see Him in these roles, and we partner with the energy and efforts that He exerts on our behalf.
We've all heard that Jesus died to take care of our sins. It's the most central and powerful truth of the Christ-story. But what if we understood much more deeply what that really means to us today? Beyond taking care of the penalty of sins, Jesus stands positioned and active to mediate each issue in your life, to intercede over your circumstances, and to be the safest person in the world to take your troubles and hurts to. What if we could discover the trust and practice of going to Jesus as our priest, who will care for and love over our issues?
Jesus is identified in the scriptures as The Head of the Church. To a culture that is skeptical of organized religion, this should seem like good news to us. At the head of the real Church is not some group of political, power-hungry leaders. There is no scandal, no self-aggrandizing, no empire-building going on at the helm of the authentic Church. But that said, Jesus as the authentic head of His Body—of which you and I are a part—does call for some specific commitment and participation from each of us. We will explore what it means for us to step up to Jesus' expectations of our life in the Body of Christ.
In the Gospel of John, Jesus is identified as The Word. Perhaps a confusing concept to us, it was a revolutionary and inspiring thought to Jesus' followers that gave them great comfort and perspective. We think of the Word as the Bible. And it is. But more than a collection of books, the Word of God is a living reality of the heart of God for us right now. We will explore what it means to connect ourselves to the Word, to live within both the actual scriptures, and the heart of Jesus as the Word alive today!
We think of experiences in terms of the progression of time. In other words, what is happening now happens first, and then what happens next comes next. We don't see what's next. We often fear what's next. We wonder what choices to make now to create a better outcome for what's next. And, the worst part of it all is when we cannot control what's next. There is an incredibly powerful reality to the fact that Jesus is right now in the present moment you live. But He is also simultaneously at the end of your issue, at the end of your trial, and even at the end of your life. Jesus is walking with you in the middle of your immediate moments, but is also living with you at the victory and solution of your troubles. The reality that Jesus lives beyond time can give us amazing hope that He is in fact sovereign over our days, and is a valid and victorious help to our immediate circumstances. Join us as Chris Eads explores the current, interactive, presence of Jesus in our lives.
How do you know if your parenting is ultimately leading to success? How will our kids be when they leave the house? Where will they go to college? Who will they marry? This sermon, "Playing For The End Game," addresses these questions, that all parents ask. Beyond this, whether you are single, married without children, or married with children, this message will apply to you. Join us as Chris Campbell brings us a message that celebrates Father's Day and explores how to pass on a good legacy.
Time, commitment, energy and focus: We live in a culture and pace of life that makes those words seem wearisome and overwhelming. The reality that healthy and vibrant spirituality takes time, commitment, energy and focus leads many of us to a defeated, discouraged place with our spiritual lives. We know we're supposed to do something with this Jesus thing, but just the very fact that we are supposed to do in a world where we're already doing too much makes us draw back, drop our heads, and give up trying anything. But hang on a minute...Jesus did not come to put more burden on us. He does not aim to make us work our way to heaven. So what do we do with Jesus, right here, right now? In this series, we will take a look at how radically simple life in Jesus is, and how simple the "do" in Jesus is - a simple set of life choices that will pour life into you, not take life from you!

To live in the fullness of our relationship with God, we need to understand seeking God as the means to dwelling in our rights and benefits as a child of God, thriving in the security of that relationship, basking in the goodness of His closeness, and benefiting from His transforming nature. If that sounds a little too warm and mushy for the masculine or the harder-edged soul, look at it from a more aggressive perspective. Dwelling close to God means being deeply connected to the most significant and transformative presence in the universe. The most powerful ''William Wallace'' of the universe is the Lord Almighty, the maker of heaven and earth. Dwelling close to Him is to live at the absolute point of the sword of all Strength and Power.
