CrossPoint Alliance Church Sermons

You kill pride in your life by beholding the humble King: Jesus. Humility keeps our minds and hearts open to and fixed on him.

A life of worship + justice demonstrates if our heart is aligned with God.

God can use the crises in our lives to wake us up to renewal through his presence.

Hosea tells the story of God's covenant love–love that is stronger than any sin, more persistent than any betrayal, and more faithful than any failure. 

Anxiety loses its grip when the kingdom of God shapes your life.

For Jesus, the topic of money is a discipleship issue because what we treasure most is what we grow to trust most.

As we learn to hunger physically, something else powerful happens: our lives become aligned with God's priorities. That's why the practice of fasting is so important.

Through the Lord's Prayer, we find forgiveness as freedom. Its focus is to bring transformation and deliverance of the heart.

God desires authentic prayer—prayer that is God-oriented and genuine.

Jesus rose to walk with you now—whatever you may be experiencing currently on your road of life. That is a reason to celebrate this Easter.

Through fasting, we simultaneously love God and our neighbor. 

Fasting isn't about punishing your body—it's about positioning your heart toward God and his purposes. And God's power is put on display at the intersection of fasting and prayer.

Fasting grows in you a deeper hunger for God—it is sacrificially surrendering your whole self in worship.

Fasting is one of the most powerful ways to bring our entire being into alignment with God. During these weeks leading up to Easter, we invite you to join our church-wide fast on Wednesdays.

The motivation and intention of your giving is what matters to Jesus—he invites you to move from me-centric giving to God-centric giving.

Jesus shows us how to love our enemies.

Your life is a living letter sent into the world to tell of Jesus. And God uses both your blessedness and brokenness to write that letter.

The people and causes that ignite your passion can highlight areas where God has gifted you and can reveal how God is calling you to serve.

If you are a follower of Jesus, God has given you natural and supernatural gifts to use for advancing his kingdom.

You were intentionally created by God to advance his kingdom. That's why you need to know your gifts, passions, and story.

Jesus says his way is different from the value system of this world. As his followers, we are called to reject rebellion, reaction, and retaliation against those who persecute us.

A life of integrity speaks louder than words.

Every follower of Jesus is challenged by Jesus' words on marriage and divorce, and we ought to commit ourselves to God's design when it comes to marriage: a covenant union of Jesus-like love that is established by God to reflect his image and fulfill his purposes as male and female.PLEASE NOTE: This week's talk explores verses from the Sermon on the Mount dealing with divorce and immorality, so parental guidance is recommended.

Jesus' vision of sexuality + power of the Holy Spirit + our cooperation = a transformed heartPLEASE NOTE: This week's talk explores verses from the Sermon on the Mount dealing with lust and adultery, so parental guidance is recommended.

Jesus calls us to embrace a kingdom ethic that values every human life as sacred. And the truest way of right living is not just outward obedience; it's wholeness of the human heart.

Jesus lived the life we could not live, so that we can live the life he lived.

Christmas reminds us that Jesus is the light we need.

You can give God praise by giving your heart, giving your worship, giving your time, and giving your resources.

Just as John the Baptist did, we can live from our identity in Jesus and we can live for God's mission.

Advent is a celebration of the coming king—that God has been faithful to come through with his ancient plan.

Through Jesus we come to know the truth that frees our souls, and we learn to trust by releasing our hearts to Jesus in an all-out, radical surrender to his love.

We “die to the flesh” by cultivating a posture of receptivity to the Holy Spirit's presence and meaning in us, and by giving up on our attempts to find presence and meaning apart from the Holy Spirit.

The world is an enemy of the soul because it normalizes and champions ways of life that are contrary to God's design.

The devil's end goal is death because there is no truth in him. Jesus calls us to identify lies and encounter truth.

Unbelief is belief in a lie. Followers of Jesus are called to identify any lies we are believing and to encounter the truth of Jesus.

Enemies of the soul work overtime—and all the time—against the work of the Holy Spirit within us. And because we live from the ideas that we believe, we must identify the lies we have come to believe.

You were made to have kingdom impact—that truth sits at the heart of Jesus' teachings about his followers being salt and light.

Jesus calls his followers to have the mind of a peacemaker while expecting the potential of persecution along the way. We can see conflict as an opportunity to glorify God, serve others, and spiritually grow.

When our hearts are satisfied in the righteousness of God, our lives overflow with the mercy of God.

Disciples of Jesus live with a holy longing for right relationships with God and others. 

If you believe Jesus is who he says, you will listen to what he has to say.

CrossPoint is a community helping people trust and fully follow Jesus. We respond to Jesus' call to be with him and to be sent out into the places where God wants us for the sake of his kingdom.

Encountering *all* of Jesus will transform *all* of you. An encounter with Jesus is deeply transformative—breaking down barriers, offering true fulfillment, reorienting our worship, and empowering us to share our faith courageously with others.

An encounter with the crucified Christ demands a response.

The fruit of genuine forgiveness is genuine love. When we encounter Jesus—without resisting God's presence and his grace—we encounter total forgiveness.

As we discover in John 5v1-16, it is never too late for Jesus to make you whole. What is true about encounters with Jesus in the Bible is still true for us today.

Fear and doubt fade in the presence of Jesus. When was the last time you were aware Jesus was with you?

What do you need Jesus to do in your life? He stands ready to meet your needs.

Jesus is loving, gentle, and inviting—even if it feels like your faith is small, you can encounter Jesus right where you are.(Please note: There are no sermon slides for this talk.)

What happens when you encounter Jesus? He interrupts your agenda, he humbles you, he transforms you, and he redefines your life's purpose.

Depending on Jesus' love—just like a child—is how we follow him and step into the kingdom of God.
