CrossWalk - Cross Culture Church RDU

We’ve probably all found ourselves in situations where we had the opportunity to do something for God, but for whatever reason we didn’t do what we knew God wanted us to do.  This week, we continue "The Revelation" series and Pastor Clay tells us about the little church in Philadelphia who had every reason in the world to keep quiet and fly under the radar, but instead they chose to believe God and remain true to their calling to take the message of Jesus to their culture.

We’ve been working our way thru the opening chapters of the book of Revelation looking at the seven letters sent to the seven churches of Asia Minor. This week, we’re introduced to the church at Sardis, a church that had experienced a great amount of success in its earlier days and as a result, had a great reputation. Pastor Clay shows us today that Jesus wants more than for His church to have a good reputation. He wants results... and that often means getting out of the comfort zone.

This week we continue our series, The Revelation, as Pastor Clay takes us to chapter 2 verses 18 through 29 where we find the church at Thyatira. Jesus’ letter to the church there commended them for their love, faithfulness, and service, but it also included a stern warning, that there is a consequence for failing to deal with false theology and that if they don't deal with it, He will.

Compromise...it’s a word that fits well into our culture, but can Christians really do that?  Pergamum was a very religious city with temples and shrines and altars to a variety of gods. In a very real sense you and I face those same challenges today in our culture. The church in Pergamum that was struggling with the pressure to compromise. Today, Pastor Clay is taking us through Jesus' letter to the believers in Pergamum to help us see the importance of our theology.

Today we’re in the second chapter of the book of Revelation looking at Jesus’ letter to the church at Smyrna and His word of encouragement for the church. Fear doesn’t have to paralyze our spiritual lives, cripple our walk with Jesus or keep us from being used by Him to impact our world. Thanks for joining us as Pastor Clay shows us how to conquer our fear and live by faith.

This week, we’re diving in to Jesus’ messages to the seven churches of Asia Minor and the first church He addresses, the Ephesian church. They were standing strong in the face of persecution and standing for truth and doctrinal integrity but Jesus told them they had left their first love. Just exactly what did Jesus mean by that? Today as Pastor Clay answers that question, we'll learn what Jesus' warning means for the Church today.

Anytime something like this week's massive earthquake in Haiti happens, it’s easy to wonder where God is in all of it. The early church probably wondered the same thing at times. Christians had been suffering for their faith in Jesus Christ and it was about to get much worse. They needed to know that God was there. Today we continue our study entitled, The Revelation, and Pastor Clay is taking us to Revelation chapter 1 verses 9 - 20 where we find a description of Jesus Christ and a declaration from Him that would be encouragement to the Church then and an encouragement to us today.

Have you ever faced times in your life when you really needed to be reminded that God was in charge? Have you ever looked at your circumstances and wondered whether God would be able to bring you through them?  Today we continue our series entitled, The Revelation, and Pastor Clay is taking us to John's opening greeting in chapter 1, verses 4-8 of the book of Revelation. We hope you'll follow along in your Bible and that you find this study encouraging to you in your circumstances.

Today we begin a brand new series entitled, The Revelation, as Pastor Clay takes us on a systematic journey through the last book of the Bible. The book of Revelation has been around for two-thousand years and yet it seems to remain a mystery to so many people. Today's message is an introduction to The Book of Revelation that will help lay the groundwork for what we pray will be a profitable time of study for all of us.

Sometimes the reality of Christmas looks much different than what we thought it would be. The stargazers found in Matthew chapter 2 came in search of the One born King of the Jews and their search was, in some ways, not what they expected and in some ways, it was much more. Who would have ever thought that you would find a king in such a humble surroundings? Who could have guessed the outcome? This week, we're going to read the wonderful story of magi and discover why, they don't call them wise men for nothing.
