We’re continuing our Sunday School Superheroes series, where we’ve explored Moses and Daniel. Today, we dive into the life of Samson—set apart by God for a purpose, yet entangled in pride and compromise.

Samson’s story reminds us that God’s calling requires obedience. Though his choices led to destruction, his greatest moment of strength came not from his power but from his surrender to God.

No matter our past mistakes, God’s grace is still at work. Samson’s redemption foreshadows Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice—offering us the chance to turn back and walk in God’s purpose.

Good morning, church! Today, we continue our Sunday School Superheroes series with Daniel—a young man who stood firm in his faith despite intense pressure. Though he's not named in Hebrews 11, he’s among the "prophets" who stood as heroes of faith.

Daniel’s story teaches us to stand firm in faith despite trials. Hebrews 12:1-2 urges us to fix our eyes on Jesus and throw off anything that hinders us.

1. DETERMINED NOT TO DEFILE (Daniel 1:8)

Daniel chose obedience before the test came. Biblical convictions must be set in advance.

👉 Psalm 119:11: "I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you."

2. AFTER EVERYTHING—STAND (Daniel 3:17-18)

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to bow. Faith stands firm, no matter the cost.

👉 Ephesians 6:13: "After you have done everything, to stand."

3. THERE'S A FRIEND IN THE FIRE

God was with them in the furnace. Trials refine us, but we’re never alone.

4. DEVELOP HABITS THAT MAKE HEROES

Daniel’s daily habits—prayer, faithfulness, and integrity—prepared him for the lion’s den. Spiritual disciplines create unshakable faith.

👉 Daniel 6:10: "He went home to his upstairs room… and three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed."

Conclusion

Stand firm, trust God, and develop habits that make heroes of faith!

In this episode of the Crosspoint Podcast, we kick off our Sunday School Superstars series with the story of Moses – From Bondage to Freedom (Hebrews 12:1-2). Moses' life shows us that God can turn crises into callings, detours into divine appointments, and weaknesses into His workshop for transformation. From his miraculous rescue as a baby to leading Israel out of Egypt, Moses' journey reflects our own struggles and God's power to redeem. Ultimately, his story points to the true hero—Jesus—who brings ultimate freedom. Tune in as we unpack these powerful lessons and encourage you to trust God’s purpose in your life!

Today, we dive into Mark 7:24-30, where a desperate mother’s faith moves Jesus to heal her daughter. Though initially turned away, her persistence, humility, and belief in Jesus’ power lead to a miracle.

Three marks of great faith:

1. Come to Jesus first – She sought Him above all else.
2. Be persistent – She didn’t give up despite obstacles.
3. Stay humble – She trusted in Jesus’ goodness.

Great faith honors God, and He honors great faith! Let’s trust Him boldly. See you next time!

Join us for this week’s episode of the Crosspoint Church podcast as Worship Pastor Lovensky Levasseur delivers a powerful message on what it truly means to worship God in a way that pleases Him.

In Are We Loving God the Way He Wants to Be Loved?, Pastor Lovensky challenges us to examine whether our worship aligns with God’s desires or simply reflects our own preferences. Drawing from Genesis 4, Hebrews 11, and other key scriptures, he explores the importance of offering God our best—not just what is convenient or comfortable. Through personal stories, biblical examples, and a call to deeper surrender, this message will inspire you to worship in a way that moves the heart of God.

Listen in and be encouraged to build a biblical culture of worship—one that is holy, set apart, and centered on what God values most.

In part two of our Above and Beyond sermon series, Pastor Dan Pattengill reminds us that God’s power isn’t just available to us—it’s already within us through the Holy Spirit. Focusing on Ephesians 3:14-21, he highlights three key points:

1. The Power Source is Personal: God’s relationship with us is intimate and intentional.
2. The Power is Already Present: The Holy Spirit equips us for all we’re called to do.
3. The Power Has a Purpose: We are empowered to live as bold witnesses for Christ.

Be encouraged to access the strength within you and embrace the “more” God has planned for your life!
