Crossroads Community Church with Daniel Fusco (video)

God’s plans are always so much bigger than our own. Case in point: when the children of Israel thought they were defeated by their own sin and circumstances, God had something else in mind. He was still fulfilling his promise to his people. Join us for a study in Joshua 8 and learn how God gives you another chance, especially when you feel defeated.

Our world is constantly calling us to “love ourselves.” Believe it or not, Jesus calls us to the same thing--but in a different way than our culture teaches. When we learn what loving God looks like, it naturally leads us to love others the way we love ourselves. We are all trying to figure out what self-love should look like according to Jesus spirituality, so join us this Sunday to explore and grow in this powerful reality.

We are what we love, and the kind of love that forms our identities has a specific order and orientation to it. If something in our life feels off, it's probably because our love is misaligned. How do we let God's love shape who we are? Join us as we learn more about upward living, the way God designed it.

The Greatest Teacher of all time – Jesus - taught us the point of life is love. We always love people and even things in our life, but there’s a right and a wrong movement to our love. The right kind of love moves upward to God, inward to ourselves, and outward to other people. Somehow it doesn't always work out that way. So one of the greatest things we can do for our life and relationships is learn how to love. Join us on the journey this Sunday!

Every action has a consequence. But sometimes it’s not easy for us to anticipate what the outcome of our choices will be and things don’t go as expected. After the children of Israel experienced the miraculous victory at Jericho, they assumed the next battle, Ai, would be a non-issue. But when one family in the camp disobeyed God, they experienced an unexpected and crushing defeat. Join us as we follow Joshua and the Israelites into the conquest of the Promised Land.

Since we only get one shot at today, how can we max out every moment? Jesus offers a simple answer: love God with everything you have, and love your neighbor as yourself. In this, God's greatest commandment, there's order and artistry, a specific design for a life so satisfying and joyful it's beyond our wildest imaginings. That life is a movement, starting with our upward orientation (to God), then inward (to our own identities), and outward (to a broken world). Join us this weekend as we explore the beginning of this beautiful progression.

The Israelites have been gearing up for battle for a while now -- 40 years, in fact. And we’ve been ready and waiting, too, as we’ve followed their journey. Well, it’s finally time for the first battle in the Promised Land: the famed battle of Jericho. But the battle for Jericho isn’t like any battle you’ve ever seen because God has a crazy plan to defeat a previously undefeatable city and honor the obedience of his children, all at the same time. If you’ve ever felt like your back is against a wall, things aren’t going the way you want, and you need God to move mountains, you don’t want to miss this fresh take on a famous story … you won’t regret it or forget it or forget it.

In Joshua 5, we find the children of Israel now securely within the Promised Land, but still with some battles ahead. Yet, before the battle of Jericho, there were some final preparations that needed to be made. As is always the case, the things that God values are vastly different than what we, as humans, value.

Sometimes when we are in the middle of a miracle, we can’t always see it. Yet, each and every day at Crossroads, the lost are being reached in a way that they can understand, lives are being transformed, and the work of God’s kingdom is happening. Join us this weekend for our mid-year vision message as we look at the tremendous things God is doing at Crossroads and get a glimpse of what is up ahead because He ain’t done yet!

Our mission is to simply respond to Jesus, but what does that look like practically? Keeping it simple, we respond with service and praise. Because Jesus is real and showed us that serving others was the greatest demonstration of faith and love, we respond to Him by serving others. When done by the leading of God’s Spirit, the result is that praise rises in our hearts.
