Crossroads Christian Church Podcast

Phil Heller 08/13/2023 God is always providing along the way. We are called to be people of obedience, trusting in God’s provision before we even see it and seeking to be extensions of God’s provision for others.

Phil Heller 08/06/2023 We are uniquely created in God’s image as well as uniquely called to His purpose. What He wants to do and accomplish through each one of us is a calling from Him alone. We cant DO what he wants until we have put ourselves in positions to hear from Him about it.

Phil Heller 07/30/2023 Being with others in harmony is essential to following Jesus. We are each created to fit uniquely into the body (whether we see eye to eye on everything or not). Having been created in God's image, everyone can bring value and contribution to each relationship.

Phil Heller 07/23/2023 We were created to be in union with God. Part of embracing the person God is forming us to be is being truthful and vulnerable with others about how we have deviated from who He says we are.

Phil Heller 07/16/2023 We aren’t called to be the judge for others, but to know the truth from Scripture and obey it. Then we can help others understand and obey, We must practice patience with ourselves and others along the way.

Chris Chaudoin 07/09/2023 Part of loving selflessly, like Jesus does, is submitting to others and willingly surrendering our own desires and interests for the sake of others. It is not easy and it does not come naturally. But this is who we were designed to be.

Andrew Bondurant 07/02/2023 We have been set free for a purpose, and a key component of that is serving others. Serving others is not just an action we check off of a list so we can move on. It’s a lifestyle of serving and loving others the way Jesus does.

Andrew Bondurant 06/25/2023 We all want to be shown grace, but being gracious sure doesn't come easy! In a world in which "cancelling" someone is valued much more highly than cancelling their debt, how do we, as followers of Christ, set ourselves apart? God's forgiveness should motivate us to be forgiving. As we walk in forgiveness, we are distinctly marked as reflections of Jesus. Forgiveness a vital aspect of the love we must have for one another. The entire world will know we are Christians by the love we have for one another.

Phil Heller 06/18/2023 As we learn to be with one another, we want to be people that take the long view… we are all works in progress who have all received grace/forbearance from God. So we want to take this persistent, patient view as we walk alongside others.

Phil Heller 06/11/2023 Criticism, harshness, and impatience are the norm. We can give “hearts and flowers” superficially, and we can always see the negative. But, as followers of Jesus, we should look for ways to sincerely encourage one another. Encouragement is counter-cultural; people take notice!
