Crossroads Sermons

Changes do not happen by thinking that you can just change scenery, nor do changes happen by just trying to change with our own strength, and much less do changes happen when we only have a superficial relationship with God. Jesus is the one who has opened the door to the Father's house. He is the one who invites those who have been far away and those who have thought they were close, to have a genuine relationship with the Father.

How can we grow in spiritual maturity and better relationships with others? God caused us to be born again through His Word; however, He never intended for us to remain spiritual children. Therefore, to grow spiritually and in our relationships, starting with God, we must be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.

Bitterness holds your soul in bondage and prevents God's blessings from flowing to you and through you. Forgiveness frees you to experience God's abundant grace and to become a channel of that grace even to those who hurt you.

It’s not God's will for marriage to end in divorce. While God allows divorce in limited circumstances, it’s not what He wants for any marriage. We must not separate what God has joined together, your marriage was designed by God to be a permanent lifelong commitment.

Most of the trouble we get into in marriage is due to our neglect to read and obey God's instructions. God designed marriage as an illustration to show Himself to us as the Provider, the Sustainer, and the Lord in our relationship with Him.

Pastor Josh finishes the “Leverage” series with his message this week. In this final sermon he calls us into action, to apply all that we’ve learned in this series and use it to further God’s kingdom. Let’s get in the game!

Continuing the “Leverage” series, Pastor Marcus teaches on prayer. No matter how long the wait, we trust fully that the Lord will answer our prayers in due time.

If love is the mark of a believer, people who know us should recognize that we are disciples of Christ. Because people who say they love God have love for people. There is no doubt that imitating Jesus includes loving others and loving leads us to serve others. This leads us to show the gospel, because the love we really know is the love we really show.

Pastor Josh teaches on discipleship in this week’s sermon in the “Leverage” series.

What kind of worship are we giving? And what kind of worship does God want from you and me? We worship a Living God, and the kind of worship we offer to God says a lot about the idea we have of God. It also says a lot about us. Every follower of Jesus should offer their whole life in worship and service to God, and allow their minds to be transformed to know and live by God's will.
