Crossroads - Weekend Messages

At every moment of every day, Jesus is real, and lives with us at street level. As He folds us into His family of faith at Crossroads, we become His compassionate change agents. He is transforming us so that we can transform our community and our world. What does it mean to be transformed? As we gather this weekend, Pastor Daniel will unpack the reality of how Jesus changes us from the inside out.

God has just delivered the children of Israel from Egypt. Between the Passover event and the deliverance at the Red Sea, God moved powerfully in the lives of the children of Israel. As the narrative continues, God chooses to meet with Moses and the children of Israel at Mt. Sinai. Sinai is where God begins to share His heart for His people. God gives His law (i.e. the righteous requirements for living) at Sinai. In dramatic fashion, God meets with His people and explains to them what it means to live a godly life. The New Testament reveals to us that the law reveals our sinfulness and our need for a Savior. Thus, the law points to our need for salvation in Jesus. What an incredible reality!

We have been learning at Crossroads that "Because Jesus is real, we are a family of faith, fully-engaged, transforming our community and our world." That is God’s vision of us as His kids, and for our Crossroads community. We’ve heard that as we simply respond to Jesus, the Spirit of God is forming us into a family. That sounds well and good, but sometimes we wonder besides gathering together every week, what does that really mean for each of us? In the next message of our series, Pastor Daniel will dig in and focus on our role in the family of faith. We are one family, united but diverse. Each one of us has a specific gift and function, and our joy grows as we become “fully engaged” in the plans Jesus has for us.

When we realize that Jesus is real and we simply respond to Him, all sorts of things begin to happen in our lives. Our vision for our church flows out of this reality, and we have been talking about who Jesus is and what He has for us. This Sunday, Pastor Daniel will continue our journey through our church body's mission and vision, focusing on the reality that Jesus is Faithful. This is a special message, one that will help define what “church” really means. Bring friends and neighbors and join us as we seek Jesus together and watch our family of faith grow.

Jesus is real! We know it from the pages of scripture and from our collective experience as His people. He is there for us at street level, and we have experienced Him in a way that has changed our lives forever. Last week, as Pastor Daniel laid the foundation for our Crossroads family mission and vision, we looked at Jesus’ divinity. This week, we will focus on His humanity. And because Jesus is real and lived like you and me, we see how we can respond, and we are encouraged how we can live on mission for Him. See you Sunday!

Who is Jesus, really? Jesus of Nazareth is the most important figure in human history. Whether it's the dating of our calendars or the never ending controversies about Him, this Jewish teacher has been making waves for 2000 years. Was He a liar? Was He crazy? Or is He the Lord? When it comes to the subject of God and religion, Jesus is always hotly debated. As we enter a new chapter in the life of Crossroads, Pastor Daniel will begin a powerful new series, “Because Jesus is Real - We Respond.” We are going to meet Jesus at street level as our family of faith walks together through God's mission and vision for us as a church family.
