CrossPointe Church

The church in Ephesus stood in the shadow of one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, the Temple of Artemis. It was massive, beautiful, and filled with idols. Yet Paul reminded Timothy that the true wonder of the world was not made of stone but of people.

In this message, Gene Coleman, an elder at CrossPointe, teaches from 1 Timothy 3:14–16, showing that the church is the household of God, the gathering of the living God, and the pillar and foundation of the truth. The world may build temples of pride and self-worship, but God is building a family that displays His truth through godly conduct, gospel identity, and the mystery of Christ.

When people think of deacons, they often picture board meetings or budget spreadsheets. But in Scripture, deacons are not administrators of an organization. They are lead servants who reflect the heart of Jesus.

In this message from 1 Timothy 3:8–13, Pastor Steve shows how the gospel shapes every part of the church, including those called to serve. Deacons are not secondary leaders but living pictures of the gospel in action. Their work joins the proclamation of the Word with the demonstration of mercy. This passage reminds us that when the church is filled with servants shaped by grace, the gospel is both heard and experienced.

Trust in church leaders has been shaken in our generation, leaving many people wounded and wary of returning. In this message from 1 Timothy 3:1–8, Pastor Steve shows how the Gospel offers a better way. God’s design for leadership is not built on charisma or success but on character that has been shaped by grace.

This passage lifts the curtain on what kind of men God calls to guide His people—men who lead with humility, steadiness, and care. The call to shepherd God’s people is weighty, but when the Gospel shapes a leader’s heart, it also brings healing to a hurting church.

Few passages in the New Testament are as debated as 1 Timothy 2:8–15. Paul speaks about men raising holy hands in prayer, women adorning themselves with godliness rather than appearance, and even the hard line about women not teaching or having authority over men. These verses have sparked centuries of discussion, confusion, and sometimes division.

In this sermon, Pastor Steve leans in with humility and clarity, showing that God’s design is not oppressive but life-giving. The church is called to be a peculiar people who reflect God’s wisdom and beauty in a culture that prizes power, appearance, and self-promotion. This is a passage that may make you pause, but it also holds surprising hope.

What powers the mission of the church? It is not strategy, programs, or polished leadership. It is prayer. In 1 Timothy 2, Paul urges the church to be a praying people, lifting up petitions, intercessions, and thanksgiving for all people, even leaders and enemies.

In this message, Pastor Steve calls us back to the heart of the mission: prayer that fuels gospel proclamation. Prayer reminds us that salvation belongs to God, that Jesus is the one mediator, and that His desire is for all people to be saved. If you have ever wondered where to begin in living on mission, this is it: on your knees, asking God to do what only He can do.

When life feels heavy and faith feels weary, where do you turn? In 1 Timothy 1, Paul doesn’t give Timothy a list of tasks—he shares his testimony. Paul reminds us that mercy changes everything. It rewrote his story from blasphemer to believer, from persecutor to preacher.

In this message, Pastor Steve shows that when mercy rewrites your story, gratitude becomes the song of your life and the strength for your fight. If you’re tired, discouraged, or simply in need of hope, this is a reminder that God’s mercy is greater than your past and stronger than your weakness.

Many people today say, “I love Jesus, but I don’t trust the church.” And let’s be honest—sometimes they have good reasons. From scandals to power grabs, churches can lose sight of who they are meant to be. But what if the problem isn’t with the idea of the church itself, but with forgetting its foundation?

In this first message from the House of God series, Pastor Steve reminds us that when the Gospel is clear, love is the result. The church isn’t meant to be a corporation or a performance—it’s a family built on grace, truth, and the good news of Jesus. This sermon is a call to strip away the distractions and recover what God intended His church to be.

Every wedding points to something greater. Beneath the music, the feast, and the vows is a longing for a love that lasts and a joy that never ends. Revelation 19 gives us a glimpse of that ultimate wedding: the marriage supper of the Lamb.

In this message, Stephen Bean (elder at CrossPointe) reminds us that the Bible’s story ends not with despair, but with a feast. A Bride made ready. A Groom who has prepared a place. And an invitation that changes everything. If you’ve ever felt the ache of longing, loss, or waiting, this sermon offers a vision of the day when hope will not disappoint and joy will never run out.

It’s possible to sit at the Lord’s Table with bread and cup in hand—and still miss Jesus. That was the danger in Corinth, where communion became more about status and division than about grace. And if we’re honest, it can be our danger too.

In this message, Pastor Steve shows how the Lord’s Supper is not just ritual but relationship—an invitation into fellowship with Christ Himself. Communion is the masterpiece of God’s grace, the story of redemption stretching from Passover to the cross to the day when we will drink anew with Jesus in His kingdom. This sermon is a call to slow down, to see what’s in our hands, and not to miss the masterpiece.

What made the early church so powerful that 3,000 people were saved in a single day? In this heartfelt message, retired pastor Jim Fox takes us back to the very first Pentecost and reveals the four pillars that transformed ordinary believers into world-changers. From the apostles' teaching to fellowship, from breaking bread together to devoted prayer, discover how these simple practices created a community so compelling that "the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." Jim's personal stories and practical wisdom will challenge you to move beyond surface-level Christianity into the kind of authentic fellowship that changes lives. If you've ever wondered what real Christian community looks like, this message will inspire you to invite someone to your table and experience the life-changing power of biblical fellowship.
