Crossroads - Weekend Messages

Contrasts help us see. If you were to look at diamond rings, they are always displayed with a black background. The stone looks even more brilliant in contrast to the background. The same is true for everything else, seeing the contrasts brings out the brilliance. The Apostle Paul uses this technique to show the brilliance of the finished work of Jesus by contrasting it with the colossal failure of Adam.

Expectations ruin relationships. When someone doesn’t live up to what we expect of them, our disappointment can damage or break things...and this happens in our journeys with Jesus too. Sometimes our experience of God doesn’t match how we expected him to act in our lives...But God actually wants to move in our lives in ways that are better than what we expected - right here, right now. Join us Sunday for our next message, and learn with us about the expectation-defying experience Jesus offers us all freely!

Some of our most difficult circumstances are the ones that feel purposeless...Especially in our consumerist culture, it’s easy to feel like everything, even our relationships, have to serve some purpose -- making our lives better, easier, or more productive. But when it comes down to it, the only one who can breathe new purpose into the parts of our lives we thought were meaningless is Jesus. Join us Sunday for the next message in our Life in Tension series, and learn with us about how God loves to bring beauty from our messiest moments.

We live in a culture that’s highly spiritual - and not religious. But no matter where we’re coming from, we’re all still asking the same question: “What must I do to be saved?” All of us are looking for the one thing we can do to live the best lives possible now, and ensure we get the life we want in the future too. Jesus’s answer to the question everyone’s asking is beautifully simple...Join us Sunday for an amazing message about the one choice you can make that will change everything in your life.

Anybody who has spent the night with a loved one in the hospital knows just how unnerving the darkness can be….the later and darker it gets, the less hope we seem to have. And we all experience darkness in different ways. Though we might not know it at the time, God has amazing light to shine in our darkness if only we will look for it! Join us this Sunday for a message about how to find the way out of your darkest situations.

No matter how hard we try, sometimes it feels impossible to keep things in our lives from falling apart...And then it’s all too easy to blame ourselves for what goes wrong! In the midst of the messiness of life, we forget two simple words: “But God.” God loves to intervene in the worst situations - the ones that seem impossible to us - and bring amazing outcomes we never could have expected. Don’t miss this Sunday’s message about how God brings miraculous beauty out of a broken world!
