Colossians 3:10-14 | November 9, 2025 | Pastor Todd SmithIn this powerful exploration of Colossians 3:10-14, we discover what it truly means to dress ourselves spiritually. Just as we carefully choose our physical clothing each day, Scripture calls us to an intentional wardrobe change of the soul. The passage presents a radical transformation: we're not just being tweaked or improved, but renewed from the inside out, being conformed to the very image of God Himself. What makes this particularly profound is that Paul uses the aorist tense, indicating a once-and-for-all decision. This isn't about trying harder or doing better; it's about making a decisive commitment to put on Christ. The eight garments we're called to wear—compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, patience, bearing with one another, forgiveness, and love—aren't just nice suggestions for better behavior. They're the actual characteristics Jesus displayed during His earthly ministry. When we wear these spiritual clothes, we're literally putting on Christ Himself. The passage also reminds us that at the foot of the cross, all human barriers dissolve. Whether Jew or Gentile, educated or uneducated, slave or free, we all stand equal before God. This was revolutionary in Paul's time and remains countercultural today. The binding element that holds this entire spiritual wardrobe together is love—not sentimental feelings, but the deliberate choice to give someone what they need most when they deserve it least, at great personal cost to ourselves.To find out more about Crossroads Community Church or to connect with us, visit the following links:→ lifeatcrossroads.org→ facebook.com/lifeatcrossroadsTo give online: lifeatcrossroads.org/giveonline.CCLI License: 2915685CCS WorshipCast License: 9466GRANT OF LICENSE.

Colossians 3:5-9 | November 2, 2025 | Pastor Todd SmithThis powerful message from Colossians 3:5-9 confronts us with an uncomfortable but necessary truth: genuine faith requires radical transformation. The passage presents Christianity not as a mere belief system, but as an 'extreme makeover' of our entire being. We're challenged to 'put to death' and 'put off' the old patterns that once defined us—sexual immorality, greed, anger, malicious speech, and deception. What makes this teaching so compelling is its honest acknowledgment that while we've died to sin's penalty through Christ, sin's power still battles within us daily. The message doesn't shy away from specific sins that entangle believers, organizing them into three categories: perverted body (sexual sins), perverted heart (covetousness, anger, wrath, malice), and perverted tongue (slander, obscene talk, lying). Yet amid this sobering inventory of human brokenness, we find liberating hope: our past is truly past. When we confess and turn from sin, we're not defined by yesterday's failures. The call isn't to perfectionism but to daily, deliberate choices to kill sin before it kills us—to take off the 'dirty clothes' of our former life and prepare to wear the righteousness Christ offers.To find out more about Crossroads Community Church or to connect with us, visit the following links:→ lifeatcrossroads.org→ facebook.com/lifeatcrossroadsTo give online: lifeatcrossroads.org/giveonline.CCLI License: 2915685CCS WorshipCast License: 9466GRANT OF LICENSE.

Colossians 3:1-4 | October 26, 2025 | Pastor Todd SmithThis powerful message from Colossians 3:1-4 challenges us to shift our focus from the temporary to the eternal, from the 'now' to the 'then.' We're reminded that as Christ followers, we're called to be heavenly distracted—to seek the things above where Christ sits at the right hand of God, and to set our minds on eternal realities rather than earthly distractions. The sermon unpacks two foundational pleas and two transformative promises. First, we're commanded to seek continuously—with pesky persistence—the things that are above, not giving up despite life's billion distractions. Second, we're called to set our minds on heaven, to think heaven, to be so preoccupied with eternity that we pull into our driveways wondering what it will be like to walk streets of gold rather than rehearsing tomorrow's worries. The promises are equally stunning: our lives are hidden with Christ in God, safe and secure in the shelter of the Almighty, and when Christ appears in glory, we will appear with Him. This isn't just theological theory—it's the anchor that transforms how we live today. When we hold earthly things loosely and eternal things tightly, we find freedom from the tyranny of the immediate and discover the joy of living for what truly lasts.To find out more about Crossroads Community Church or to connect with us, visit the following links:→ lifeatcrossroads.org→ facebook.com/lifeatcrossroadsTo give online: lifeatcrossroads.org/giveonline.CCLI License: 2915685CCS WorshipCast License: 9466GRANT OF LICENSE.

Colossians 2:16-23 | October 19, 2025 | Pastor Todd SmithIn this powerful message, we're challenged to examine the difference between man-made religion and a genuine relationship with Christ. The sermon delves into Colossians 2, exposing the dangers of legalism, mysticism, and asceticism. We're reminded that these practices, while appearing spiritual, often lead to self-righteousness and pride rather than true godliness. The key takeaway is that our salvation and spiritual growth come from Christ alone, not from following rigid rules, seeking mystical experiences, or inflicting suffering on ourselves. As believers, we're called to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, understanding that He is the substance behind all religious shadows. This message encourages us to evaluate our own faith practices, ensuring we're not substituting religious activities for a living, breathing relationship with our Savior.To find out more about Crossroads Community Church or to connect with us, visit the following links:→ lifeatcrossroads.org→ facebook.com/lifeatcrossroadsTo give online: lifeatcrossroads.org/giveonline.CCLI License: 2915685CCS WorshipCast License: 9466GRANT OF LICENSE.

Colossians 2:11-15 | October 12, 2025 | Pastor Todd SmithIn this powerful message, we explore the transformative reality of being 'in Christ.' Drawing from Colossians 2:11-15, we discover three profound spiritual truths about our past in Christ: we've been spiritually circumcised, buried, and raised with Him. This isn't mere symbolism, but a deep spiritual reality that fundamentally changes who we are. The message challenges us to grasp the magnitude of this transformation - we're no longer slaves to sin, but alive in Christ! As we delve into our present realities in Christ, we're reminded that God has made us spiritually alive, forgiven all our sins, and given us victory over evil forces. The vivid imagery of our sins being 'nailed to the cross' serves as a powerful reminder of the complete forgiveness we have in Jesus. This message urges us to live in the freedom and victory that Christ has secured for us, encouraging a life of confident faith and joyful obedience.To find out more about Crossroads Community Church or to connect with us, visit the following links:→ lifeatcrossroads.org→ facebook.com/lifeatcrossroadsTo give online: lifeatcrossroads.org/giveonline.CCLI License: 2915685CCS WorshipCast License: 9466GRANT OF LICENSE.
