CrossPoint Fellowship Messages

Joseph had an immense amount of pressure on him when he found out that his betrothed was pregnant and not by him. He was a man of honor and wanted to divorce her quietly out of his love for Mary. Ultimately, he decided to stay as her husband at great personal cost and sacrifice because the truth of what's really going on is more important than the opinions of others. And, in your life, remember that obeying God is always going to be more important than following your traditions.

When God chose Mary to the mother of God’s Son, her reaction could have been one of fear and trepidation. Instead, she stepped up to the plate and accepted God’s charge for her with boldness and confidence. Sometimes the favor of the Lord shines on us in a way that it feels like it’s storming on us. But God’s word is always true and, when God’s will is made clear in life and we obey, nothing is impossible.

God wants to do the miraculous in your life. He certainly did so in Zechariah’s life. Though he and Elizabeth were past the years for childbearing, they had a son - John the Baptist. The Bible says that God granted this miracle to them because of their righteous living. But, because of Zechariah’s doubt, he was made to be mute until he was born. We must believe, not doubt, and get out of God’s way to see Him move mountains in our lives.

Here is our November "all worship and prayer" service before going into our next series. Worship and pray along with us as you listen!

Jesus said that, as we go, we should be making disciples of the people around us. Though the Church can definitely help, parents are therefore to be the main disciplers of their own children. What is is like to live your life on mission to tell others about Jesus. At CrossPoint, we want to equip your family, equip your students, and equip the church to do just that.

Your political beliefs should never get in the way of someone’s relationship - current or future - with Jesus Christ. Yet, Christians are sometimes known for praising their side of the political debate while insulting the other side. Yet, time changes minds and the things we believe politically today are possibly not what we believed years ago. Politics and nations are temporary but there is an eternal God who wants everyone to know Him. Christians need to think about what is important and eternal instead of focusing on the fleeting.

The original Old Testament law stated “and eye for an eye” so that punishments could not exceed the crime. But Jesus said that just because we can punish sin doesn’t mean that we always should. We deserve death for how we’ve offended God but instead He hands us forgiveness. We should therefore treat others in the same way we have been treated by God. Don’t give of yourself. Give of God.

Our character is not what we think about ourselves but rather how others perceive us. Are you someone that is known for being trustworthy, someone who can be taken at their word? Jesus encourages us to not make oaths and let our yes be yes and our no be no. Understanding the lesson and the purpose of this is imperative to being like Christ and set apart from the world.

What are the grounds for divorce according to the Bible? Biblical scholars agree in some ways and disagree in others, but Paul lays out his understanding of Scripture on the subject. We’re looking at several passages from both the Old Testament and the New Testament to learn what God has to say about when it is okay and not okay to divorce a spouse.
When we state our vows on our wedding day, we are entering a binding Godly contract to provide these things for one another.It’s important to note that just because divorce is an option, it doesn’t mean that it has to be the option. Divorce is the nuclear option.

As seekers of peace, we can’t afford to hate anyone. We aren’t allowed to hold grudges. We can’t afford as followers of Christ to let the wickedness in our hearts, endanger people's view of God. Today we discuss how to be vessels of forgiveness.
We are to settle matters quickly.It’s never too late.We have a responsibility to keep and promote peace.
