This Sunday, Pastor Vincent continued our powerful series “Why Are We Here?”, with a timely and transformative message: “Say Yes to Living in Harmony.”

Rooted in Ephesians 4 and other scriptures, today’s message walked us through what it means to truly live in unity as the body of Christ. In a world filled with division, Pv reminded us that harmony isn’t optional—it’s Kingdom culture.

Key Scriptures:

Ephesians 4:1-3

Ephesians 4:4

Matthew 18:15

Colossians 3:13

Ephesians 2:8

Key Takeaways:

God uses conflict not to destroy us—but to develop us.

Grace isn’t just what we receive—it’s what we extend.

Forgiveness isn’t something that’s earned—it’s something we freely give.

When we choose peace, forgiveness, and grace, we reflect Jesus and strengthen our witness.

Let’s be a church that promotes peace, extends grace, and chooses harmony in every relationship.

In today’s message, we explored what it truly means to reflect Jesus in our everyday lives. Rooted in Philippians 2, this powerful teaching reminds us that our purpose is not just about doing church, but being like Christ—through humility, service, and love.

K ey Takeaways:

We reflect Jesus best through the way we live.

Humility is the soil where loving others grows.

Serving is not just something we do—it’s an opportunity to be like Jesus.

When we choose to reflect Jesus, we say YES to a life of purpose, compassion, and kingdom impact.

💬 Be challenged. Be encouraged. And most of all—be moved to say YES to serving and reflecting Jesus in all you do.

Today, we honored mothers and every woman who leads with a nurturing, faith-filled heart — and we were reminded of a powerful truth: God uses the ordinary to accomplish the extraordinary.

💬 Key Scriptures:

1 Corinthians 1:26–29

Luke 2:38

2 Corinthians 5:17

📖 Main Takeaways:

God Chooses the Ordinary – From Mary to the disciples, God consistently chooses what the world sees as insignificant to display His glory.

Our Identity Is Found in Who We Follow – It's not about status, strength, or perfection, but our relationship with Jesus and our willingness to point others to Him.

Faithfulness in the Everyday – Like Mary, we’re called to say “yes” to God, even in the small moments — because our obedience can change the world.

🙌 Whether you’re a mom, a mentor, or someone walking out your faith in quiet ways — you matter. God has placed value on your life, and He wants to use your story to bring hope to others.

Why Are We Here? | Say Yes to What Matters Most | Cross Church Denton

Welcome to Cross Church Denton! In this powerful sermon series, Why Are We Here?, we explore the call of unity, mission, and focus through the teachings of Jesus. Each week, we dive into Scripture to say YES to what truly matters: UNITY, THE MISSION, FAMILY, and RESISTING DISTRACTIONS.

This week’s focus: "Say Yes to What Matters Most"

Let’s walk together in the vision of ONE — a church that is multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, and multi-generational, living in unity as Jesus prayed in John 17.

🗓 Series Breakdown:

- Say Yes to Unity (John 17:20–23)

- Say Yes to the Mission (Matthew 28:18–20)

- Say Yes to Resisting Distractions (Philippians 1:27)

- Say Yes to the Family (Colossians 1:17)

In today’s message at Cross Church Denton, we lean into the comforting and powerful words of Jesus from John 14:1-7:

"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

Where is Jesus going?

Jesus is preparing a place for us — He’s going to heaven to open the way so that we can one day be with Him forever. He didn't just tell us the way; He IS the Way.

As 2 Corinthians 5:4-5 reminds us, life here is temporary, and we long for our eternal home. God, in His love and mercy, gave us the Holy Spirit as a guarantee — a down payment — promising that what He has started, He will finish. Our future is secured in Him!

How do we get there?

➡️ Follow the Way – Trust Jesus and walk the path He has set before you.

➡️ Believe the Truth – Stand firm in the promises of God, knowing that His Word never fails.

➡️ Experience the Life – Live the abundant life Jesus came to give — a life filled with hope, peace, and purpose through a real relationship with Him.

Jesus' deepest desire is for us to know God personally.

To know Him is not just to know about Him — it’s to live in the fullness of His presence, power, and love.

To know God is to truly live.

This message is a reminder that you are not alone on this journey. Jesus has made the way. He is calling you into a deeper relationship with Himself — a life anchored in faith, rooted in truth, and bursting with the life only He can give.

🙏 If you’re searching for hope, longing for purpose, or ready to take the next step in your faith journey, this message is for you.

Stay connected with us at Cross Church Denton as we continue to live out our vision of "ONE" — where every nation, every generation, and every background is welcomed into the family of God.
