CrossPointe Church Podcast

Paul arrived in Ephesus and encountered disciples, he shared the message of Jesus, and performed extraordinary miracles that spread the gospel throughout Asia. As we review Paul’s experience in Ephesus, it reminds us we have a lot to celebrate and a lot to look forward to in spreading the gospel at CrossPointe.

In Acts 17, Paul sees people searching for God and brings them the truth about Jesus. That same purpose drives CrossPointe’s expansion: making room for more children, students, and families to find Him and grow in faith. Somebody helped make room for us; now we can help make room for others. Participation is an invitation, never a condition of belonging, and every one of us is called to pray honestly about being rich toward God. As we trust Him for provision, we’re invited to put generosity into practice through a willing, prayerful commitment above our tithe.

You can change churches and still carry the same chains. Through Acts 15, we examine Catholic teaching, church authority, and the fear that we haven’t done enough for God to accept us. But how do you recognize when something you’ve trusted to bring you closer to Jesus is keeping you from Him?

What if the life you’re trying to protect is connected to someone you’re called to reach? We all have reasons to hold back—especially when we’re tired, stretched, or disappointed. But Acts 14 confronts us with an uncomfortable question: What could it cost someone else if I never take my next step?

Everybody can’t be telling the truth when their stories about Jesus contradict each other. In “SOMEBODY IS LYING,”we put Islam, Mormonism, Catholicism, and our own beliefs under the same measuring line: What do they do with Jesus? As we unpack Acts 13 and examine the evidence surrounding His death, burial, and resurrection, one question gets personal: Is what you believe strong enough to trust with your eternity?

Life really boils down to the choices we make every day, and every single one of them brings consequences. In Acts 12, we get a front-row seat to this reality through the lives of three different men and how their decisions shaped their fates. It forces us to ask some tough questions: What do we actually do when it feels like our faith puts us in chains? And what does it look like to prove our faith, no matter how things turn out?

In Acts 11, the Gospel breaks through racial, cultural, religious, and personal boundaries as God welcomes people others had already rejected. But this message forces us to face an uncomfortable question: Are the boundaries we defend truly drawn by God—or are they lines Jesus came to tear down?

Acts 10 begins with a house God is already preparing, a man who is already searching, and a moment heaven is already arranging. Cornelius does not know Peter yet, and Peter does not know Cornelius—but God is working on both sides of the door. So here is the question we have to answer today: What happens when the house is ready, but the mission is still waiting on somebody’s YES?

Today we’re talking about one of the most dangerous places a person can live: absolutely sincere, deeply religious, and completely wrong. Saul was so certain God was on his side that he never considered he might actually be fighting Him—which raises a question every person in this room must answer: How can you know whether what you believe is truth, or merely a conviction you inherited and never questioned?

The events of Acts 8 highlight a disparity between belief and a transformed heart. Peter’s call for Simon to repent and seek forgiveness reveals that receiving the Spirit’s power requires not external actions or financial resources, but a transformed heart that abandons selfish ambition and yields completely to God’s authority.
