Pastor Lynn preaches the message, "Dangerous Deliberation, Part 2." "Deliberation" is defined as "long and careful consideration; slow and careful movement or thought." When the Lord teaches us to obey Him, it is a layered process of change over time. The Lord addresses one area in our lives, and then another, building our spiritual muscles and changing us to be more like Him. This is called "spiritual growth, and maturity" or "sanctification." Pastor Lynn presents things that get in the way of our deliberation, calling out some of the excuses we make for why we choose not to obey Him fully. This message will have very practical applications to help us in our deliberations so that we can move towards maturity in our relationship with Christ!

Dangerous Women are women who are not afraid to listen to the Lord and follow His direction. Dangerous Women are not influenced by the voices around them and fearlessly do whatever Jesus speaks to them. Sunday, Pastor David addresses a prophetic message to the ladies of the church. Be sure to come expecting something to empower you. And men, there are some valuable spiritual lessons for you to learn.

This Sunday Pastor Lynn's message is entitled, "Dangerous Authority!" As a result of Christ's work and the indwelling Holy Spirit, God's children now have dangerous authority! We are dangerous to the enemy because of the authority Christ has delegated to us through the Holy Spirit. But...there are things we must do to walk in this authority effectively! We are no longer conformed to the image of this world, but rather we are transformed by the renewing of our minds so that we can know God's good, perfect, and pleasing will! Therefore, we do not wield the power and authority Christ has given to us like the world, but according to the Word of God! Listen and be challenged to daily walk in the dangerous authority that defeats the enemy! 

Pastor Lynn will speaks on "Dangerous Humility!" Did you know humility is dangerous to the enemy because when we are humble, we are like Christ! The only self description Jesus gives is that He is "gentle and humble" (Matthew 11:9). If we are to become like Christ we must grow in humility which is an enemy to human pride and self-sufficiency. Humility requires true submission to Christ in everything and this is our daily life challenge. James 4:6-7 says, "But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble. Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." Foundational to a life of authentic power and authority over the enemy, is demonstrating the humility of Christ in our lives every day. This message will challenge you!

Dangerous TruthWe live in a time when everyone has their own truth.  The Scriptures tell us that we need to know the truth so that it can set us free.   This Sunday Pastor David looks at the miracle of the resurrection and how it launched the church into the mission of speaking truth to the world.You will not want to miss this Sunday's message.

We want to raise up children who are strong in the things of the Lord. Today, Pastor David shares how we can make our children strong in their faith and love for the Lord.For those who do not have small children, you need to be here to learn how to speak faith into your nephews, nieces, grandchildren and others in your community.

Pastor Lynn preaches a word entitled, "Dangerous Belief!" The enemy may not attack your belief IN God, but he will certainly attack what you believe ABOUT God! This is what he did to Eve in the Garden of Eden--he convinced her God was not good! God was withholding something good from her. As a result, she decided to agree with the enemy's word rather than God's word. The enemy uses this very same tactic against God's children! When we believe God's word, about our lives and ourselves, even in the most painful, difficult, and confusing circumstances, we are dangerous to the enemy rather than his word being dangerous to us! So, what do you believe ABOUT God? What you believe ABOUT God is revealed through your words, attitudes, and actions. What you believe ABOUT God is also integrated into what you truly believe about yourself, as God's child! Allow the word to saturate you so you are transformed.

Sunday, March 30th, is our quarterly "Saturation Service". This special service is a time of worship, prophetic proclamation, and prayer. The theme for this service is "Worthy!" Jesus is our Lord, our Savior, our Deliverer, and our Healer! In Jesus, is everything we need to navigate every season of our lives. Philippians 2:9 says, "Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Revelation 4:11 proclaims, "“You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.” We are saturated in Christ's presence, declaring that He is worthy of all praise and honor!

Living in a time when doing your own things is paramount, God is calling His sons and daughters to fully obey His commands.  This Sunday we unpack the power of dangerously obeying God and His Word.

When you learn to listen  to the voice of the Lord you are a dangerous person.   You get to know what God wants, when He moves, and how you should follow His direction.   This Sunday we look into how to discern the voice of God as a believer and how to live out your life as a victorious believer.

This Sunday Pastor Lynn continues with part 2 of the message: "A Dangerous Mind: The Mind of Christ!" The Mind of Christ is dangerous to the enemy! 1 Corinthians 2:16 tells us we can have the Mind of Christ because the Holy Spirit dwells in us. But this requires surrender to the Holy Spirit and choosing to live full of the Holy Spirit every day! We cannot default to fleshly ways but rather must cultivate the fruit of the Spirit so that we choose the Mind of Christ. We also need to beware of falling into counterfeit traps that produce false ways of thinking!  This Sunday, Pastor Lynn continues her teaching on how to be dangerous to the enemy through living with the Mind of Christ, which is God's wisdom, rather than being ruled by the mind of the flesh, which is foolishness. When we live with Christ's Mind, we live as faith filled children who can fulfill our God-given destiny through our unwavering obedience. You do not want to miss this powerful message!!

A Dangerous Mind: The Mind of Christ! The Mind of Christ is dangerous to the enemy! 1 Corinthians chapters 1 and 2 reveal we can have the Mind of Christ because the Holy Spirit dwells in us. But this requires surrender to the Holy Spirit and choosing to live full of the Holy Spirit every day! The Mind of Christ is the Wisdom of God. These two cannot be separated! This Sunday, Pastor Lynn teaches on how to be dangerous to the enemy through living with the Mind of Christ, which is God's wisdom, rather than being ruled by the mind of the flesh, which is foolishness. When we live with Christ's Mind, we live as faith filled children who can fulfill our God-given destiny through our unwavering obedience. You do not want to miss this message!

While Pastors Lynn and David are in India, Pastor Robert Coffelt is our guest speaker. He is speaking on "The Trap of Legality!" Our self nature is constantly fighting for control. One deceptive way is through lists of rights and wrongs, do's and don'ts. They may seem to be the best path but they lead us away from the one thing: relationship with God. Falling into legalism is a counterfeit to true intimacy with Jesus. You do not want to miss this message!

Sunday, December 29th is the final Sunday service of the year! On this special service we celebrate our First Fruits offering that we give to the Lord in anticipation of the harvest He has for us in 2025. This is a saturation service with extended worship and a short time of teaching on "First Fruits" by Pastor Lynn. I guarantee this is a powerful time with the Lord as we are launched into 2025. You do not want to miss the last Sunday service of 2024! The Celebration of First Fruits: On Sun., Dec. 1st, Pastor Lynn challenged Crossroads to give a free-will sacrificial, First Fruits offering on Dec. 29th. The celebration of First Fruits comes from Deut. 26: 1-11. This was an offering given to the Lord from the first of the harvest, in anticipation for what was to come later.  This offering was freely given by the people, but it was also to be sacrificial. This free will offering was given in anticipation of what God would do in the future as He brought forth the harvest. The Celebration of First Fruits signified the recognition that EVERYTHING comes from the Lord and that God's people would never idolize the blessings, but would keep the Lord their “First Love” (Ex. 20:3; Matt. 22:37). The First Fruits celebration was always given on the Sun. after the Passover. Paul writes in 1 Cor. 15:20, “But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the First Fruits of those who have fallen asleep.” The First Fruit celebration foreshadowed the resurrection of Jesus on the Sunday following Passover. Christ's resurrection defeated sin, death, the curse and the grave; it revealed the new life His followers would have when they received His Holy Spirit. Jesus was the First Fruits of what was to come—our salvation and infilling of the Holy Spirit.  The First Fruit offering signifies our openness to Holy Spirit surrendered living. It shows our intentional surrender and sacrifice (Rom. 12:1-2). It confronts our fleshly tendencies (1 John 2:16). It is a way to deny ourselves (Matt. 16:24).  There will be a day when we are in the presence of the Lord and will go through the gates of pearl to walk on streets of gold. God's economy is so different from this fallen world. When we give a free-will offering it illustrates that we will not allow the spirit of materialism to rule us, but we will have dominion over it through the power of the Holy Spirit. It also signifies our faith in the Lord Jesus and the future harvest He has for our lives.  On Dec. 29th we will give a free will first fruit offering as part of our worship time. This will not be our tithe, but whatever the Lord has laid upon our hearts to give. Take time and pray about this free-will offering, then prepare to give it on Sun., Dec. 29th. If you give online (Zelle, Paypal, or in advance), write your name and the amount on a paper for this special service (use a giving envelope) and on Sun., Dec. 29th place that giving envelope into the specific First Fruits giving basket. During our service, we are going to do what Israel did during the First Fruits Celebration: we are going to WAVE our offerings before the Lord, unashamedly presenting our offerings of thanksgiving and praise to Him. Then, we are going to put our offerings into the baskets of the Priests (Pastors David and Lynn) who will then wave the First Fruits before the Lord. This will be a powerful time with the Lord. As you are considering what your First Fruits offering is going to be, allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you specifically regarding the meaning HE has behind your First Fruits offering. Write down what this First Fruits offering means for your life and future. What are you asking of Him as you go into 2025? During this special time, the Lord desires that you ask of Him because He surely wants you to expect a harvest! This is what First Fruits is all about—faith in what He can do! Remember, He has a harvest for you! All funds will go into a place of ministry (no funds are to go to the pastoral staff).

 This Sunday Pastor Lynn delivers the message:  The Challenge of Blessing and The Celebration of First Fruits. The Lord has given His children a way to surrender our blessings to Him so that we never serve or idolize them. The Lord provided Israel with a beautiful celebration of first fruits as a symbol of surrender and thanksgiving. This was to set them on a trajectory of loving the Lord their God first and foremost. Even in this fallen world, the Lord has designed His children to be blessed and to glorify Him with these blessings! The surrender of our human will and commitment to walk full of the Holy Spirit is foundational to being fruitful and multiplying for His glory, never allowing materialism to take hold of our lives. You may have a turkey coma, but do not be in a spiritual coma! You do not want to miss this powerful word on this first Sunday of the last month of 2024!

Believers are called to be connected to a community of faith, yet far too many are not.   This Sunday Pastor David addresses the need for a solid connection to a Christian community.  Your spiritual life is not to be lived in isolation, rather in a vibrant community of faith that provides healthy connectivity to others.   Listen and be encouraged by this message!

This Sunday Pastor Lynn preaches the message on "The Challenge of Blessing." Stories in scripture reveal that when God's children were blessed, they were challenged to remain faithful to Him in every area of their lives. What is it about humans that causes us to become distracted, distanced, or deceived so that we make our blessings the #1 priority in our lives rather than our Lord? As His children we are people of a new covenant--a covenant of Jesus' blood that was poured out for us. We have been redeemed by Jesus, that means we have been bought back out of slavery, and therefore 100% of who we are belongs to Jesus! We are never to allow the blessings of our lives to distract us from a close, obedient, and surrendered relationship with Christ. He is to remain #1 in everything! This Sunday is a challenging word, but one that will stoke the fire of passion for your first love, Jesus Christ! You do not want to miss this powerful message!

There are many ungodly philosophies in the world today that have seeped into the mindsets of Christans setting them up for deception and spiritual diseases. Pastor Lynn confronts one of these ungodly philosophies: spiritual homelessness. Jesus has called us to have accountable, consistent, godly relationships through belonging to a healthy, Christ-centered faith community. This is His design for His children so they are protected from false teachers, spiritual diseases, and spurred on to grow in their faith and relationship with Christ!

Stop Looking Backwards.As a believer, many times we are pulled backwards by our history, family, and old friends. The Lord is calling us to not look back once we have come to faith, but to move forward in our faith. Jesus addressed this matter inLuke 9:62.
