Sermons from The Crossing Church (TCCJAX) Jacksonville, FL

Paul explains that sin is not something we do, it is a part of our very nature.

Paul shows us that possessing God’s truth and knowing God’s truth are not sufficient for salvation. Rather, our obedience to God’s truth written on our hearts is what God will judge – the secrets of men.

We so often find ourselves consumed with the immorality in our lives and the lives of others, but this immorality is simply a symptom of a much deeper and profound problem – we’ve exchanged the worship of God for the worship of ourselves.

The Good News is that God has accomplished all that is necessary for our rescue. The gift of eternal life is secured not by our strength or works, but by His Son Jesus Christ.

We worship God by recognizing Him as the only one who can solve our deepest need, our sin infection.

We worship God by desiring His presence above all things. Recognizing that His presence is Heaven to us.

We worship God not just with songs and words, but with our very hearts. When we take refuge in God we declare our affection for Him and this is how we may worship Him.

God’s character gives us hope in every circumstance in life. Not just a vacuous hope in the sky, but a real tangible hope that as followers of Christ we can know every day.

Depression, grief, and sorrow are real feelings that God intends for us to feel. But these feelings should not cripple us or stagnate our faith – they should drive us into the presence of God in worship!
