When you are afraid | Bruce Garner by CrossPoint Church

God opposes the proud. King Nebuchadnezzar was proud. We often are proud. We have a good Father who always acts on our behalf. His timing and plans are perfect. But, there are times we trust in ourselves rather than in God. Nebuchadnezzar learned the hard way... which no one likes.  God is faithful and wants us to trust His timing and plans. Pastor Rick spoke this message at CrossPoint Church.

The Kingdom of God is not what you think | Bruce Garner by CrossPoint Church

Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego did not bow to Nebuchadnezzars idol. They trusted God for deliverance from the king whether or not they would be delivered from the furnace... but God did deliver them from the flames.  Daniel 3 is about our commitment to knowing and obeying God's Word, about trusting God's timing and plans and about God's presence being enough. Thank you Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego for showing us what is important in life. Pastor Rick shared this message to the CrossPoint Church.

Jesus is the Life of the Party | Bruce Garner by CrossPoint Church

Life, in many ways, is lived between two grips: a newborn grasping their parent's finger and our final moments reaching for the hand of a loved one.

Jesus & the Outsiders | Bruce Garner by CrossPoint Church

Jesus continues to teach His disciples right up to the cross. In our Scripture, Jesus tells us that loving God changes our giving and our perspective on suffering.

Jesus Tells the World Who He is | Bruce Garner by CrossPoint Church

Time is short for Jesus. He reminds the disciples and shares six truths for them to remember. Jesus wanted the disciples to focus on God's mercy, to submit to the government, to know that heaven and our heavenly bodies will be different, that they are to love God and others well and that they should practice what they preach. Jesus didn't tell them anything new... just reminded them of the important. Pastor Rick preached this message at CrossPoint Church.
