Crossroads - Weekend Messages

It’s been said that life without purpose is pointless. Purpose is what gives meaning to our lives. This meaning leads us into action as we move through the world. Since we each have only one life to live on this side of eternity, it is so important that we live with purpose. It is God’s will that our purpose for ourselves aligns with God’s purpose for our lives. God’s word teaches us some amazing things about the purpose of God.

There are countless definitions for the word 'peace' but when we look at the biblical definition of peace, it means the absence of war. When Jesus was born, the angels didn’t just sing about peace, they proclaimed it upon the earth. As Jesus lived, ministered, and taught, His followers uncovered that the peace promised with this King runs counter-culturally. His peace causes the weary soul to rejoice, His peace helps us overcome fear, His peace is a promised gift to all who call Him their Savior. Join us today as we look at the Peace of God and what it means for believers in Christ.

God has always been calling people. God knows that humanity is prone to wander from the God who created us, loves us, and wants to work in our lives in beautiful ways. God is always seeking people who are willing to journey through life following Him. As we begin our Christmas series “Down to Earth,” we will start by looking at the people of God and how God touches people through other people.

Jesus said that we are more blessed to give than to receive. But for many people, we actually think the opposite. We desire things and make little room in our lives for generosity. And we wonder why things don’t make us happy. As we close out our series in the book of Philippians, we see the great joy of generosity.

As followers of Jesus, we must constantly be reminded… of everything! We must be reminded that life on this side of eternity is temporary. We must be reminded who we are. Even if we live a good and long life, a hundred years is quite short in comparison to eternity with God. There is a longing in the soul of the Christian for our forever home. That home is heaven, where there is fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore. Join us as we explore the joy of remembrance.

As we continue our study in the book of Philippians, today we uncover how pursuing Christlikeness was not only one of the most defining elements of spiritual growth for the Apostle Paul, but it was the main passion of his life. Though our world offers many ways to receive an external reward, followers of Jesus know that true fulfillment can only be found in Christ. May this message awaken an ability within you to lay aside all distractions and find the joy of pressing forward with one singular focus: to pursue Christ and to know Him. 

We love to say that “life is messy and Jesus is real.” We don’t love that life is messy though. It is just the truest thing we can say about life. It’s messy. But what makes it beautiful is that Jesus shows up, in the midst of it all, and leads us into Gods’ best for our lives. As we follow Jesus, we come to know Him more and more. This knowing of Jesus fills our lives to overflowing with joy.

Fear is one of the most powerful and crippling things in a person’s life. So many people are controlled by their fears, and fears can lead to the lowest times in life. Join us for this powerful and insightful message on how "perfect love casts out all fear"! You don’t want to miss this one.

Friendship is the highest form of relationship. The healthiest marriages have friendship as their bedrock. Many of us are searching for close intimate relationships, and yet we struggle to be the type of friend for which we are seeking. As we look at Paul’s letter to the Philippians, we discover potent examples of meaningful friendships and, ultimately, uncover the beautiful love we have in our friendship with Jesus.
