In God Did Pt. II, Pastors David and Lydia Osborne continue SZN 2: Revival Through Reason with a compelling look at Romans 5:5–11. This message centers on the overwhelming love of God—a love that was poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, revealed on the cross, and restores our friendship with Him. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us, not to make us simply “better,” but to make us His. Pastor David and Pastor Lydia remind us that God's love is not only universal, but deeply personal, offering us more than religion—He offers relationship. Through this divine love, our joy is made whole, our faith is strengthened, and our hearts are awakened to the beauty of being known and loved by God. Because God did, we can now truly live.
What if placing a Bible on someone's doorstep could change the course of their eternity?This week at Cross Points Church, Pastor David has a powerful message about what it means to be a watchman—a person positioned by God to sound the alarm and share hope. He challenges us to live out the Gospel—not just in word, but in action. Whether you feel like it or not, your obedience to share the good news matters. Someone's eternity could hang in the balance.To learn more about Cross Points, check out our website:http://crosspointschurch.comTo stay up to date, check out our social media:Instagram: @crosspointskcFacebook: Cross Points ChurchYoutube: CrossPointsKCTwitter: @crosspointskc
Pastor David shared from Hebrews 10:19-25, about the priority of our Sunday community.
The commendation for being a fellow laborer is invalid if we do not commit ourselves to any activity sanctioned by Jesus for his disciples. We must exert ourselves in the things Scripture exhorts us in with gospel sweat. Listen to Pastor David's exhortation to do the work for more.
In this episode, Pastor David Maestas explores Joshua 21–22, where the tribes of Israel receive their promised inheritance and begin to settle into the land. But when the eastern tribes build an altar near the Jordan, it sparks fear and misunderstanding among the others, almost leading to civil war. What was meant as a symbol of unity is mistaken for rebellion, revealing how quick we can be to assume the worst without seeking understanding. Pastor David uses this story to reflect on how we often build “scarecrows”—false threats based on fear, insecurity, or assumptions. Instead of confronting one another in humility and grace, we react in suspicion. This message challenges us to approach conflict with a desire for clarity and reconciliation, reminding us that peace requires communication, trust, and a willingness to see beyond appearances.

What happens when a near-death experience reshapes everything you thought you knew about leadership, purpose, and faith?
Pastor David preaches out of Luke 17:1–3, where Jesus warns His disciples that stumbling blocks are inevitable, but woe to the one through whom they come. Jesus calls His followers to self-examination and vigilance, urging them not to hinder the “little ones” from entering the kingdom but to reflect His mercy through humility and gospel-shaped hospitality.
In his powerful kickoff to SZN 2, Revival Through Reason, Pastor David Osborne delivers a faith-building message titled God Did, rooted in Romans 5:1–4. With bold declarations and deep biblical insight, Pastor David reminds us that everything we are, everything we've endured, and everything we hope for is possible because God did the work through Jesus Christ. From the tribulations that shape our endurance, to the character refined through trials, to the hope that rises from the fire—this message challenges us to reflect on the "why" behind our revival. No matter the circumstance, we can live, thrive, and move forward because God Did!

Her actions saved lives—and changed hearts.Grace isn't passive—it's bold. It goes first. It absorbs offense. It chooses peace. And it calls out the best in others when they're at their worst.To learn more about Cross Points, check out our website:http://crosspointschurch.comTo stay up to date, check out our social media:Instagram: @crosspointskcFacebook: Cross Points ChurchYoutube: CrossPointsKCTwitter: @crosspointskc
