Crossroads - Weekend Messages

"Cause I got to have faith" was the chorus to George Michael's song Faith playing all over the radio in 1987. Nothing could be closer to the truth for God's people today. Everyday, we exercise faith without even realizing it. Faith that oncoming drivers stay in their lane, faith that the food we're about to eat is not poisoned, and so on. Yet, if we're honest with ourselves we often fail to have faith in God when things don't according to our plans. Our starting point with God is faith. It is basis of our relationship with God and the path to pleasing God. Join me Wednesday night as we explore the importance of faith in transforming our experience with God.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of the world on your shoulders, then you can appreciate the moment you feel that weight lift. The first Easter was like that. The church felt the tremendous tragedy of losing Jesus … then a beautiful new day dawned. If you could use a fresh outlook on life, join us this Easter as we celebrate the resurrection and find out why that event turns every day into a new day filled with hope and promise.

At different times, we all feel incomplete - because our failures and wounds leave stains and scars we don’t know how to heal from on our own. Jesus came to cleanse us in a way that transforms our lives. And when Jesus purifies us, he opens us up to a whole new way to be human. This way of Jesus is our route into all God’s goodness. If that’s the kind of change you’re longing for, you don’t want to miss this message!

Who doesn't want to know the very best master plan for their life? Would it surprise you to know that God has a specific and unique plan in mind for everyone? And it's not just any plan...it's a roadmap to the best possible life. How can you find it? Join us Wednesday to learn how to find the specific plans of God for your life!

In a world where efficiency and expediency are valued above everything else, kindness takes a back burner to getting things done. But whenever we experience an act of selfless kindness, the beauty it creates cultivates deep and meaningful connections. Do you sense a need to go deeper with people in your life who matter? Join us this Sunday to learn how rekindling kindness can bring blessing to your relationships.

Have you ever desired anything? Of course...everyone does. But unfortunately those desires can get you in trouble if you're not careful. Many religions teach that human desire is the beginning of life's problems. But Jesus challenged us that desire isn't the problem. The question is how can we cultivate a hunger for the right things, so God's best life for us comes to pass? Join us this Sunday to learn how.

Much of our lives are spent waiting for God to change our circumstances. Whether it’s “typical” waiting--heavy traffic, hunting for a new job, longing for a spouse--or the seasons when you encounter incomprehensible stress or painful grief. How do we maintain hope in God when we see no resolution to our suffering? Join us this Wednesday to learn how to trust Jesus even in the midst of our instant-gratification culture.

What defines you? For many, it's not something that has an easy answer. Our life choices are driven by the news, our families, or whatever promises the most success in our jobs and hobbies. But are these choices delivering the life we really want? Or are we making decisions based on a false reality and coming up empty? To find the person we were created to be, we need to make decisions based on truth, but how do we know what’s really true? Join us Sunday...you will be surprised to find out what truth really looks like in today's world.
