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.

And what do ancient prophecies written hundreds of years […] The post How can we find hope to hold on to? | Kevin Queen | Easter 2025 | April 19 & 20 appeared first on Cross Point Church.

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.

Pastor Rick taught this lesson to CrossPoint Church.

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.

In week two of our “On Map on Mission” series, Pastor Kevin gave us an anecdote to picture the people closest to us in our lives – those who would be sitting in the front row if we were to gather everyone in an auditorium.

What to bring to Jesus if you're hopeless | Bruce Garner by CrossPoint Church

The Pastor and the Flock | Fred Williams by CrossPoint Church

After spending almost three years with Jesus, Peter finally gets it. He declares Jesus King, the Messiah, Israel's anointed one. But Peter quickly falls off the pedestal by reprimanding Jesus, who had embraced God's plan for his life. Wow, disobedience means shifting our allegiance to Satan rather than to God. Then Jesus tells the crowds that His disciples must be selfless, expect suffering, and obey the King. Pastor Rick shared this message with the CrossPoint Church.

Why is Jesus good news | Bruce Garner by CrossPoint Church

Pastor Blake teaches from Mark 8:11-26 where we find Jesus talking about hard and soft hearts. Hard hearts are blind to Christ.

Pastor Blake Peterson taught this lesson to the CrossPoint Church.
