Sermons from Crossroads
In the final message of the Courageous series, we're challenged to move beyond convenience and into real connection. Casual faith won't carry you—but courageous commitment will change you.
In a divided world, unity is a bold and beautiful choice. In this message, discover how the communion table calls us to something greater — to walk arm in arm even when we don't see eye to eye. It's time to reclaim the Church's courageous mission: to be one.
From death valleys to divine beauty - this message is for anyone waiting on God to bring life from dry ground. “God never wastes a tear, a trial, or a hidden seed. What feels buried might actually be planted.” Share this message with someone who needs hope!
Nobody wants to be WEIRD. But Jesus was a guy who talked and taught about things in a WEIRD way. So, what does your life look like? Would you say you are NORMAL or a little WEIRD? Join us for the second week of our series, “Courage” where look at the importance of being WEIRD. Yes, you heard that right!
One of the Bibles best known stories is David and Goliath. But is there something from David's life that stands out more importantly than this story? Could there be something that we can learn from the life of David that many of us are missing? Join us as we kick-off our new series.
Easter is like no other day that we celebrate, because Easter is a day that touches every other day that you live, and this day impacts the days after you die. We know the story, but what does that story mean for us today?
We have a God who takes the biggest failures of our lives and he REDEEMS and RESTORES to us the years that the locust have eaten. Join us as we look at the first communion meal and what it means in the life of a follower of Jesus.
Everyone is hurting. Everyone is living with pain. Everyone is wounded. When you're going through a season of brokenness, you need a God who has the power to restore. Join us in our lead up to Easter 2025.
There's a characteristic that God wants to grow in all of us and we're talking about something that is harder and harder to embrace in our culture today…TRUTH. God wants to develop His truthfulness in those who follow him, but TRUTH has had a rough few years. Join us for the conclusion of our series, “Imma Be!”
Our character determines what we do. That is the very reason that God is more concerned with who we are becoming instead of what we are doing. Join us as we look at another characteristic of God that he wants to grow in us…LOVE. How can we be more loving? Let's Go!
Much of the Christian life can be consumed with what we DO, but God is far more concerned with who we are becoming, than the decisions we're making. Join us as we ask and answer the question, “Who does God want me to be?”
“When hurry increases, compassion always decreases!” That statement is the catalyst for adding one more week to our ABANDONED series. What was supposed to be finished last weekend, continues today with a look at the “busy” life.
There is a desire within all of us to make a difference in this world. Join us as we close out our ABANDONED series as we look at the idols of accomplishment, success, and achievement.
With in each of us is a deep sense of love and belonging. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, be loved and to belong. When those needs are not met, we break, fall apart, numb, ache, hurt others, and get sick. So many of us are addicted to approval and when we don't get approval, our lives spiral out of control. Join us for week two of ABANDONED.
Our culture has some many false beliefs when it comes to something that was really important to God…the soul. Join us as we kick-off our series ABANDONED with a look at the importance of the internal instead of the external. We're going into the deep end of the pool!
“The things that got you to where you are will not get you to the next level.” Join us as we closeout our first six weeks of 2025 as we look at the last of six important topics…PRIORITIES. What are your priorities in 2025? Maybe we can help you make some that will make a difference this year.
Everyone wants to. be happy, but people define happiness differently. Join us as we go to scripture to look at GRATITUDE…something we all desire our life to be defined by. We all wanted to be people full of GRATITUDE.
It goes without saying that we all want to experience growth in 2025. Ask anyone, they will say, “Yes. I want to get to the end of the year and see a difference in my life!” Join us as we continue looking at another topic that is important to reaping an amazing harvest in our lives in 2025.
Join us as we look at the very familiar story of the life of Moses and how he was guilty of limiting thoughts that ultimately impaired his courage. We promise…you will not have looked at the life of Moses in the way that you're about to look at it. Get ready!
“I don't like change!” That's a statement that most of us could buy into. But change is part of life. There will be change! Look at the mirror and you change from one day to the next. So, how can we process change in 2025?
We all want 2025 to be better than 2024, right? Sadly, most of will not experience a better 2025 simply because we don't do things differently. Join us as we look at an often overlooked story found in the New Testament. Allow this story to bring insight and growth to your new year.
“Immanuel…God with us!” That phrase changes everything. Join us as we celebrate Christmas Eve at Crossroads!
In the next few weeks you will open a present and think, “I didn't ask for this! It's not what I wanted!” The Christmas story confronts that very statement. Join us as we look at the account of Matthew and the birth of Jesus.
Most of us view Christmas as people around a fire, a tree, opening presents, and sipping hot chocolate. Really? Have you ever read the first Christmas story? It was a time of trial and hardship….nothing like you think it was. Join us as we continue on our journey. “This Is Christmas!”
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, and it can be the most challenging at the same time. Join us as we countdown the days to Christmas with some thoughts from Matthew Capers 1 & 2… “This Is Christmas!”
We started Crossroads with the idea that the local church could change the world. But over time, it seems that we have allowed that vision to be robbed from us. Join us as we continue to look at HOPE and what it means for the world.
When it comes to HOPE, many people have given up! Alert! That is Satan's plan…to get you to give up, but hear us out…there is always HOPE. Join us as we look deeper into this amazing virtue.
There are two kinds of HOPE. There's that HOPE when you're hoping for something, and then there's that HOPE that you put in someone. But the testimony of scripture is that there is just ONE Man that we place our HOPE in. Join us as we dive in.
Join us as our special guest Deneen Goeke brings a message from John Chapter 5.
It's the time tested story of good and evil. Yes, that really is something. While most people seem to dismiss it, it's as real as the nose on your face. Join us as we dive into the last question in this installment of our series, “Questions”. And be prepared for something that totally rocked our service (it was not planned).
Nobody wants to talk about HELL! It's the truth. Honestly, most churches avoid the subject of HELL! But what does the Bible say? More importantly, what did Jesus have to say about HELL? That's probably the most important place to go…so join us?
"What happens to people who never hear about Jesus?" That question is on the minds of many people. It's actually a question that can present the image of an unloving, uncaring God...if you don't know the true answer to that question. Join us as we explore and see how the Bible answers that question.
We've all been impacted (directly or indirectly) by someone who has taken their own life and committed suicide. So, what does the Bible say about suicide? Is it sin? Is it the unforgivable sin? What happens to people who commit suicide? Join us as we dive into the scriptures for an answer.
We all have questions about God, Jesus, Heaven, Faith, and life...and we want answers to those questions. So, what would happen if we sought to find biblical answers to the questions we're all wrestling with? Join us as we do a "double take" on a question that we have previously looked at.
Football season is here! No matter the time you are pulling for, there is a powerful lesson for all of us found in one simple thing that we see happen at football games. Join us as we conclude our Summer Road Trip with a look at someone who had a road trip of their own. Let's Go!
We all desire to be happy. That is one thing that is common to everyone walking this earth. But why are some people not happy? Why are people who seem to have everything, struggling? We dive into that very topic on this week in our Summer Road Trip
We've heard references made to parables most of our lives. The problem is that most of us have misunderstood the importance of the parables and what they mean to our lives. Our Road Trip continues around The Sea of Galilee, as we listen to Jesus use a parable in a very interesting setting.
"Don't be afraid!" Jesus said it at least fifteen times in the gospels. Why? Was his focus on fear? Or could it be that his focus might have been more on trust? Join us as we continue our Summer Road Trip with a stop at The Sea of Galilee.
What's in your heart right now that you're asking God for? What are you praying for? What are you believing for? We're continuing our look at the words of Jesus, "You are the salt of the earth," where today we're talking about the faith of a difference maker.
"You are the salt of the earth!" Those were the words of Jesus. It was his way of saying that you are a difference maker in this world. Now. We're taking the idea of a difference maker and we're going to look at what it means to live that life. We're connecting those words to some other words that Jesus said in The Sermon on The Mount. Here we go...
God created you to be a difference maker...You are the salt of the earth. Join us on our Summer Road Trip as we continue to look at the words of Jesus that challenge all of us to be a better follower. "You are the salt of the earth."
We all want to leave this earth knowing we left it better because of our lives. Actually, Jesus said something about that. Join us as we head to the lowest place on earth to get a real understanding of the words of Jesus and how those words apply to our lives.
One of the basic claims of Christianity is that God speaks to people. We see it all throughout scripture. Join us on our Summer Road trip as we pull of the road to take a break before our next destination and we ask the question, "How do I hear God speak to me?"
We've finally reached the place of Daniel's last stand! Most of us are fully aware of this story, but could it be that this story is so much more than we ever thought? Join us in our last day in Babylon.
We belong to the Kingdom of God, but like Daniel and is friends, we live in the empire of Babylon where the Spirit of Babylon is at work in and through the nations of the world. Join us as we continue through the Book of Daniel.
God has given us the Book of Daniel as a manual to survive in a culture that is moving further and further from God. And one of the best known stories from the life of Daniel is about the fiery furnace. That's where we're headed today. It's getting hot... Let's Go!
How often have you dreamed and wondered what that dream could mean? It's happened to all of us! It also happened in the story of Daniel. Join us for week two of our "Summer Road Trip" as we look at how Daniel gets out of tough spot and how that might give us insight into handling stuff in our own lives today.
Our culture is changing and the change that we see happening can tend to shake the most faithful follower of Jesus. So, how can scripture teach us to handle the quickly changing culture of our world? Join us as we begin our 2024 Summer Road Trip, starting in Babylon. Here we go!
Signs, wonders, and miracles should be part of the live of those who follow God. Just look in the Bible and that's what you see. The Red Sea parted, the blind had their sight restored, the lame would walk and leprosy was healed. Why are we so suspect of the supernatural? Join Randy as we conclude our "Throwback" series.
What's important about the blood of Christ? What is significant about the blood of Christ? We need to understand the power of the blood of Jesus, so we're throwing it back and looking at something foundational to our faith.
What's the most important question that someone could ask you? That alone can probably suggest lots of responses, but there is one question that ranks about all the others! Join us as we look to dive deep into finding the answer to life's most important question. This is week one of our series, "Throwback~"
