Have you ever noticed how tightly we hold onto the things we think we need?

We grasp for control when life feels uncertain. We grasp for success, security, relationships, approval, or recognition, believing that if we can just hold on tightly enough, everything will work out.

The truth is, we've all become pretty good at grasping.

In this message we'll meet a man whose story begins with a grasp. As Jacob is born, he reaches out and grabs his brother's heel. It becomes a picture of his entire life—and, if we're honest, a picture of ours as well.

But here's the beautiful surprise of Genesis 25: before Jacob ever reached out to grab, God had already reached out to him with grace.

That's the heart of this week's message: God's Grip of Grace.

We'll discover that while we spend so much of our lives trying to grab what we think we need, God invites us to rest in what He has already promised to give. His grace doesn't begin with our effort, our performance, or our worthiness. It begins with His love.

Join us as we discover the comfort of knowing that our hope doesn't rest on the strength of our grip on God, but on the certainty of His grip of grace on us.

The sermon entitled "Chosen By Grace" was preached by Pastor Dan Solofra at Crosswalk Church as part of the "Hitchhiking with The Prophets God's Grip of Grace - Jacob" message series.

What would you do if God asked you to surrender the very thing you he had promised you?

What if God asked you to surrender the one thing you couldn’t live without?

In Genesis 22, Abraham receives a command that seems to contradict everything God had promised since the call to go: offering Isaac, the very son through whom God's promises would come.

It's a test that seems impossible. Yet Abraham walks forward in obedience, trusting that God's power and faithfulness reach beyond what he can see.

Discover what this unforgettable account reveals about faith when the stakes couldn't be higher and God’s faithfulness.

We've all experienced the disappointment of a broken promise.

Maybe it was a promise from a parent, a friend, a spouse, a company, or a leader. Sometimes the promises were made with good intentions, but life got in the way. Other times they were simply forgotten or abandoned. Whatever the reason, broken promises leave behind frustration, hurt, and uncertainty.

The truth is, after enough broken promises, we begin to wonder if anyone can really be trusted.

That's what makes this week's message so powerful.

In Genesis 18 and Genesis 21, Abraham and Sarah are still waiting for a promise God made decades earlier. They have grown old. Their circumstances seem impossible. Sarah laughs at the idea that God's promise could still come true.

But God is different.

What God promises, He delivers.

What God says, He does.

When God makes a promise, He keeps it.

In this message we'll explore the incredible history of a promise made and a promise kept—and discover why God's faithfulness gives us confidence even when life feels uncertain and the waiting feels long.

We've all heard the fairy tale ending: "And they lived happily ever after."

But real life doesn't work that way.

What happens when God's promises seem delayed? When you've prayed and waited... and waited... and waited some more? What happens when God's timeline doesn't match yours?

In Genesis 16, Abram and Sarai find themselves in that exact place. God had made a promise, but years later it still hadn't happened.

Instead of waiting, they took matters into their own hands. What followed was pain, conflict, regret, and consequences that reached far beyond what they imagined.

Yet Genesis 16 is not just a story about human failure. It's a story about God's relentless grace. Even when faith falters. Even when we make a mess of things. Even when we run away.

God pursues us.

In our Message we discover what happens when faith falters, why our self-made solutions never deliver what we hope, and how God's grace continues to find us right where we are.

The sermon entitled "When Faith Falters" was preached by Pastor Dan Solofra at Crosswalk Church as part of the "Hitchhiking with The Prophets" message series.

Ever feel like life is running on an expiration date?

Deadlines pass, opportunities disappear, prayers seem unanswered, and the clock never stops ticking.

That’s exactly where we will find Abram this week in Genesis 15—10 years after God made incredible promises, he is still childless, landless, and wondering if God will really come through.

This week we’re diving into the tension between God’s promises and God’s timing, and discovering why real faith is often forged in seasons of waiting, silence, and uncertainty.

If you’ve ever wrestled with questions like “God, are You still there?” or “Why hasn’t anything changed?” this message is for you.

Through Abram’s honest questions and God’s faithful response, we’ll discover that faith is not built on visible results, but on the character of a faithful God.

Explore what it means to remain “full of faith” even in seasons of uncertainty, silence, and waiting.

What if following God meant stepping away from comfort, certainty, and control?

In Hitchhiking with the Prophets we begin by walking alongside Abram in Genesis 12 as God calls him to leave everything familiar behind and go to a place he has never seen.

No map.

No guarantees.

Just a promise - “Go…and I will show you".

And honestly, that’s where faith often gets uncomfortable for us. Why? Because most of us desire clarity before we obey and do.

We want God to explain the destination before we take the first step. But Abram’s story reminds us that faith is not about having all the answers — it’s about trusting the God who leads.

Over the next 3 months this series will take us on a journey through the lives of Abraham, Jacob, and Joseph — ordinary people navigating uncertainty, messy situations, failures, suffering, and waiting…all while discovering and experiencing the steady faithfulness of God.

So if your life feels uncertain, unsettled, or stretched right now, this is a series you won’t want to miss!

Have you ever had a moment where you just couldn’t see it?

You couldn’t see what God was doing…You couldn’t see how it would work out…You couldn’t see how any of it could be a blessing.

And yet, God makes a promise:

👉 “I will bless you.”

In our Promise Land series, we’ll explore what it means to trust that God has a plan—even when it doesn’t feel like it… even when we can’t see it.

At our Phoenix campus, we’ll gather for our final service—a time to give thanks for all God has done and to trust Him with what’s next.

At our Laveen campus, we’ll celebrate Confirmation Sunday—a powerful reminder of faith being strengthened and lives rooted in Christ.

It’s both an ending and a beginning. . . and all of it is part of God’s plan.

If you’ve been struggling to see God’s blessing in your life…If you’re wondering what He’s doing - This message is for you.

When life gets hard, we all go looking for help.

Sometimes we look to ourselves.

Sometimes we turn to other people.

Sometimes we reach for anything that might give us a sense of control or relief.

But if we’re honest, those places don’t always come through the way we hope.

In our Promise Land series, we’re looking at a powerful promise from God: “I will help you.”

Here’s the good news: God is never absent, never unreliable, and never too busy.

He is present, faithful, and ready to help—not someday, but right now, in your time of need.

The sermon entitled "I Promise to Help You" was preached by Pastor Dan Solofra at Crosswalk Church as part of the "Promise Land" message series.

Have you ever found yourself asking:

👉 “Why is this happening?”

👉 “Is there any purpose in this?”

Maybe you’re dealing with stress, a relationship that’s hard, or a season that just won’t let up.

And honestly… it can feel like none of it makes sense.

In our message we’re talking about a powerful idea:

👉 What if this isn’t wasted?

God assures us that he can take even the most difficult parts of our lives—and use them for something good.

Not that everything is easy or enjoyable…but that it can still have purpose.

Have you ever had one of those moments where the only honest words you have left are:

“I’m tired…

I’m done…

I just can’t do this anymore”?

Maybe it’s the pressure at work.

A relationship that feels like it’s falling apart.

A season of stress, pain, or uncertainty that just won’t let up.

In our message, we’re continuing our Promise Land series with a promise we don’t always expect: God doesn’t promise to take everything away… He promises to give you what you need.

We’ll look at how even the Apostle Paul reached a point of desperation—and how God met him there, not with escape, but with something better: grace that is truly enough.

So If you’ve ever wondered: “God, do I really have what I need to get through this?” this message is for you.

Join us as we discover how God meets us in our weakest moments—and why that might be exactly where His strength shows up the most.
