Crossroads - Weekend Messages

Love is what we all want most - none of us will argue with that. Whether we’re looking for someone else’s love, wishing we knew how to love ourselves better, or longing for a deeper experience of God’s love, our lives revolve around love in so many ways. At the same time, we don’t always have a clear picture of what love should be like, or how we can find satisfaction for the deepest desires we encounter in life. So join us this Sunday for a message all about love, as we redefine our understanding with the best definition of love out there: God’s.

We all have the same response when we find something new that we love: we want to tell someone else! That's because we were created to praise what we find beautiful. We automatically praise new restaurants, musicians, athletes, business leaders, lovers - but ultimately all our hearts long to be connected to a greater beauty, found only in God himself. Join us for this Sunday's message, as we seek the only one who will ultimately satisfy the deepest longings of our hearts.

Sometimes the choices we want to make in life don’t line up with the decisions that are the most loving for the people in our lives. That’s why sacrifice is what transforms our “nice thoughts” into real love. If we want to be the best people we can be, we have to choose to love each other, even when it’s hard, and we have to realize that love will always be greater than our liberty. Join us this Sunday as we learn together what it means to make all our decisions from a place of love.

Sometimes the hardest people to get along with are the ones we’re most similar to, right? It’s almost like there’s an invisible competition we sense within ourselves with the people we’re most alike, especially when our opinions clash. Without realizing it, we can put ourselves in a position of judgment over others who don’t believe the same things we do. We’ve all been there - so join us for this Sunday’s message as we take the journey together toward loving and accepting others we disagree with, just like Jesus does with us.

Every day of our lives is a series of choices, and the quality of our lives depends on the kinds of choices we make and the priorities we set up in our lives - so we have to make sure we’ve kept the main things, the main things. When we prioritize our lives in the way God designed us to, we move from optimizing on the margins, to entering the full and abundant life Jesus promises us! Join us this Sunday as we embrace the simplicity of the beautiful life God created us for.
