What is worship and why do we do it? Let's take a deeper look into the book of Isaiah for the answers to our questions.

Envy hides in plain sight — in comparison, social media, and quiet resentment over what others have. Discover why the Bible calls desire good but warns against envy, jealousy, and coveting, and how gratitude, trust in God's generosity, and genuine love for others replace envy with lasting contentment.

Greed limits our ability to love others with generosity. This morning, we'll look at two images of greed and how we can create generous hearts.

What can we learn about lust and love from the Bible? Is modern-day culture right in saying the Bible's ethic is outdated and irrelevant? Join us this Sunday at CrossWinds Church in Spencer as we consider the answer from the story of the Bible.

Anger isn't always sin—but how we handle it usually reveals our heart. Discover why God is rightly angry at evil, why our own anger so often goes wrong, and how the grace we've received in Christ frees us to forgive, bless our enemies, and trust God as the just judge.

What if your relationship with food (or any deep-seated craving) isn't actually a matter of physical appetite, but a condition of the heart? Join us this Sunday at CrossWinds Church in Spencer as we consider this vice through the lens of Scripture and how we can pursue a life like Jesus.

What is the sin of sloth? How can we rid our lives of it? Join us this Sunday at CrossWinds Church in Spencer as we consider what the Bible has to say about this "deadly sin."

Pride and humility aren't just personal struggles—they're universal spiritual laws that govern how God's kingdom actually works. In this message, we trace the principle of how those who exalt themselves are humbled and those who humble themselves are exalted. We look at Satan's rebellion, humanity's fall, and Jesus's stunning reversal. The God of the universe didn't grasp for glory. He emptied Himself. He served. He went to a cross. And then? He was exalted to the highest place in existence. That same law works in our lives right now. When we humble ourselves before God, when we serve others sacrificially, when we stop trying to lift ourselves up—that's when God lifts us. Real greatness isn't about being impressive. It's about wearing the apron of a servant.

We are all worshipers, whether we realize it or not; the question is whether we worship the true God or an idol. What is idolatry? How does the gospel confront idolatry? Join us this Sunday at CrossWinds Church in Spencer as we consider the answer from Acts 19.
