Her parents called her Lenya Lion because of her ferocious personality and hair that had been wild and mane-like since birth. But they never expected that five days before Christmas, their five-year-old daughter would suddenly go to heaven. This weekend at Crossroads, Pastor Daniel welcomes his friend, Pastor Levi Lusko, to share a powerful message birthed from the eye-opening truth of the power of hope that he and his family walked through in the midst of a path filled with pain, suffering, and loss. In keeping with Lenya’s legacy, this is not a message about grieving, but a manifesto for high-octane living and finding God's wild and wonderful calling on your life. Jesus wants you to look at the adventure of your life through His eyes – the eyes of a “Lion!"

Learning is essential to moving forward in life. From the moment you were born you began to learn, and God designed the process to continue throughout your life. But learning isn’t simply about gathering facts and information, it's a way for you to grow deeper in your understanding of God's kingdom.

In this message, discover how God will deepen you as you simply learn from the Scriptures.

As we continue our study in the book of Deuteronomy, we are once again looking back at where the children of Israel had been. In order for Moses to refresh their understanding of God’s laws, he first needed to remind them of the circumstances surrounding their recent history. As believers, we never want to live in the past, but understanding our past through the eyes of God is essential for correctly navigating our future.

Intimacy is the deepest level of human relationship. It is where we are embraced and loved as we are. It is the level at which we can let our guard down, love and be loved regardless of our imperfections. And we we all need it, and search desperately for it.

In this message, you will learn how God wants to meet you in stillness, solitude, silence and rest. Discover how your need for intimacy is satisfied in the most unexpected of places.

Every person has the hardwired need to feel connected, to be part of something bigger than themselves. Whether it's being awed by the vastness of creation, seeking ancient wisdom to follow, or embracing any philosophy that comes their way, people will search to find ways to satisfy that need for connection.

For Christians, prayer is the answer to that need. Join us this week as Pastor Daniel unpacks how prayer connects to you God, helps you focus your life upward and cultivates your love for Him.

One of the deepest needs a person has is to make meaning of their existence. Why I am here? What is this all about? Like children who continually ask “Why?” we find ourselves doing the same with the nagging questions that crop up over and over again throughout the phases of our life. These important questions are asked and answered in a myriad of ways and our lives become defined by the answers we get from the places we seek to satisfy our need for purpose.

As we continue our Art of Living series, Pastor Daniel will explore this human need for meaning. We will learn that ultimately everyone satisfies that need for meaning through the practice of worship and what and how we worship determines the definition of who we become.

As we begin to study the book of Deuteronomy, the last of Moses’ five books (collectively known as the “Pentateuch”), we realize that Moses is about to pass the baton of leadership to Joshua who will be guiding the generation that will enter the Promised Land. All of Moses’ contemporaries have died in the wilderness and it is this new generation that has been ordained to take the land. So Moses wants to give a refresher course in the ways and plans of God. As we embark on this new series that we are calling “Refresh,” we will find ourselves backing up and reviewing some of what has already transpired so that we don't miss the valuable lessons to be learned for the new venture ahead.
