Crossroads - Weekend Messages

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.

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.

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.

Who am I really? What is this life all about? How shall I live?
These are life’s most haunting questions. And everyone is asking them in their own way, even if not out loud. The Bible gives us time-tested insights on the human condition. And Jesus invites us to follow him on a journey of discovering the answers to our questions with Him. The Art of Living is a topical series based on Jesus’ Greatest Commandment. Join us as we walk with Jesus through His Word and learn the art of living harmoniously together in a chaotic world.
