You are unique! In Part 4 of "Who Am I? & Why Am I Here?" we're going to discover how to pass the comparison test. There are over 7 billion people on the earth today, and you're not just unique among them - you're unique among every single other human being that's ever been or ever will be created. There has never been your combination of DNA ever! Don't waste that one thing that makes you unique - while trying to be like someone else.

If we're going to know who we are in Christ, we're going to have to pass the Popularity Test! People are shielded from freedom because of fear and worry about what other people think about them. Where do you get your approval from? Another person? Does it really matter what people think about you? It's time to come into agreement with what the Father says about you!

If someone were to ask you - "What is Crossroads about?" Would you know what to say? Pastor Chad Everett continues with Part 2 of "Who Am I? & Why Am I Here?" and focuses on the vision of Crossroads, and breaks it down into two simple words - "Who" & "Why." We are all about helping people find out who (identity) they are in Christ, and why (purpose) they were born.

Most problems in people's lives can be boiled down to two issues - not knowing who they are and not knowing why they are. In Pastor Chad Everett's sermon, "Who Am I? & Why Am I Here?" he begins to share the importance of vision for every person's life. The "Who you really are," can only be found in your vertical relationship with God. The "Why you are," is found in our horizontal relationship with people. Answering these questions, are essential to finding fulfillment in your life!

What isn't measuring up in your life? Chris Pollard, Youth Pastor, encourages us through his sermon, "When It Doesn't Measure Up," as he explores the story of Hannah. Persistence is a key value in life. It's the key to unlocking God's promises. Go for that thing you're believing God for. #ItsGoingToHappen

You get one shot. Don't be a sideliner just sitting and watching life go by. Get in the game. Embrace life. Your life is supremely valuable, and meant to glorify God and delight in Him forever. It does require a posture of surrender. Trust Him! He will make your path straight. #icandothat

In Blake Bradley's "The Mind of Christ Part 2," he encourages us that when life gets tough and hard, we can start to blame God and believe a lie about the character and nature of God - BUT He's a good dad, and He's with us in and through the waiting and the pressing, as we put on the mind of Christ.

The final sermon in the series, "Fixer Upper," Pastor Chad Everett talks about two final gates, each with its own application. The East Gate -where Jesus will return - is all about finishing strong, and The Inspection Gate is when Jesus will gather all believers and reward each one for doing what God has asked them to do in this life. Jesus is REAL, and He's REALLY coming back. Be ready!

When God asks us to do something, obstacles & opposition still come, as the enemy operates to steal from us - the mind starts swirling. It doesn't mean we've missed God. We have a part in what God has asked us to do through making choices and walking out in faith through the duration until it comes to past. It is through God's Word & His Presence that our minds are renewed to that of Christ.

Our walk with God requires continual growth, and God knows there's going to be opposition to our growth. In Pastor Chad Everett's sermon "Fixer Upper Part 8" - he explores the Water Gate and the Horse Gate in Nehemiah 3 to discover how God gave us ways to successfully grow in Him and how to fight for Him. Getting born again is just the beginning - then it's about understanding everything Jesus did for us on the cross. God wants us to keep developing.
