CrossRoads Church - SoundSage

We are God’s vineyard, and we each have been given stewardship within that vineyard, stewardship of ourselves, of our gifts and abilities, and maybe even stewardship of others, our families or groups within the church family.

We must be faithful to the Owner and Builder of the vineyard built on the Cornerstone of Jesus Christ and faithfully submit to Him all the fruit that we bear.

View Details

All authority is given to Jesus. All authority over our minds, over our morals, over our attitudes, over our politics, over our mouths, over our keyboards, over our votes… Will we submit to Him?

View Details

The Temple once stood as a symbol of God’s presence among His people, but here it stood as a symbol of empty and lifeless religion. Jesus went to the Temple and looked around to see if he could find faith, and He found none.

When Jesus surveys His Church what will He see, what will He find? Full of people but empty of faith? Full of activity but empty of worship?

View Details

Alistair Begg said, “You’ll never know Jesus as a reality until you see Him as a necessity.”

That’s what blind Bartimaeus saw, he saw Jesus as a necessity first, and then saw Him as a reality. The same can be true of us, when we see Jesus as a necessity, we will see Him as a reality.

View Details

If we do not accept the kingdom of God on the same basis as children, weak, helpless, unimportant, we will never enter it. Childlike faith lays aside all thoughts of status and privilege, it redefines our definitions of significance. We are not accepted by Jesus because we are special, we are special because we are accepted by Jesus.

Marriages depend on softness of heart, on humility, on selflessness, service, on love. Marriages depend on humble dependence on God and recognition of the need for God’s intervention in the relationship. Simple, but not always easy.

View Details

Sin is a serious issue... everyone will be salted with fire, we just choose what kind of fire.

We are constantly faced with the choice or humility or pride, godly self-renunciation or fire of judgment, the purifying fire of the Holy Spirit, or the fire of condemnation and destruction, the fire of God’s altar or the fire of Gehenna.

View Details

Join us as we explore the good news of the mystery, the purpose of the mystery, and our response to the mystery of the Gospel.

View Details

Unity is not the same as unanimity, nor uniformity. We are not all the same, nor do we all always agree, but we can certainly unite under Jesus as Lord.

View Details

Sacrifice, service, and selflessness, these are the pillars of the Kingdom, humbly serving and welcoming as guests the least is how one truly becomes great in God’s Kingdom.

View Details

Real and actual fellowship with God our Father through faith in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, is the secret to power.

View Details

As the church, Jesus calls us to unity.

View Details

Peter confesses Jesus as the Christ, but doesn't understand that He is not only Messiah and King, He is also Priest.

View Details

Jesus is Prophet, Priest and King - do we recognize Him as such? The Holy Spirit is the lens that corrects our view.

View Details

Jesus has some specific questions for the disciples: What do you think? Is your heart hardened? Do you see beyond the surface? Do you remember what god has done?

View Details

Be mindful of asking for more before being thankful for what you already have. Look to what God has done. Look with compassion to the needs of those around you. Remember that Jesus has and will supply all our needs - we can trust Him.

Jesus Heals a Deaf-Mute.

Jesus is rejected at Nazareth. What does (or should) limit our view of Jesus?

View Details

Jesus is more powerful than what we fear. He can be trusted with everything we face.

Homework assignment: Think about your own fears. What are you honestly afraid of? Ask the Lord to show you, and then write them out and consider how Jesus' superior power can put your fears to rest.

View Details

Is what you stand to lose by truly following Jesus greater in your mind than what you stand to gain? Today we look at the healing of a demon-possessed man in the Gadarenes.

Homework: Write out your testimony - how Jesus, in His power, delivered or rescued you - and commit to share it with someone.

View Details

The disciples experience a powerful storm and begin to fear - first the storm, and then the One who calmed the seas. Fear demonstrates a lack of trust in Christ. If we are to trust Him, we must know what He says.

Homework: Write down your prayers. Do they express trust in Jesus?

View Details

As Christians, we are citizens of a better country, and serve a greater King. Through faith in Jesus, we are part of something magnificent. Don't take that for granted.

View Details

The course of large things can be changed by a small thing. The tongue can be used for evil, or for pouring forth glory to God and encouragement to others.

View Details

"It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search things out." (Proverbs 25:2) Approaching the parables requires willingness, diligence and zeal. This is the difference between a disciple and a fan of Jesus.

View Details

There are two kinds of people - those who believe Jesus, and those who don't. The Parable of the Soils shows the things that get in the way of believing wholeheartedly in Jesus, and is seen as the key to all of the other parables.

Peace between man & God has been purchased by Jesus. He is our Sabbath rest. It is a privilege and a benefit. There is no work for us to do to earn God's favor!

View Details

Jesus is not something you add onto your old way of doing things... the life He gives is entirely new. Jesus + nothing = everything.

View Details

Grace is on display as we see Jesus call Matthew the tax collector. When people think they have no need of help from God, they are in no position to be helped. Today we learn that salvation is rejecting our pride and accepting God's gift of grace.

View Details

There are three miracles in this passage - the healing of a paralytic, the mind reading of the Scribes, and the forgiveness of sins. Our greatest need is to be made right with God.

View Details

The friends of a paralytic man show us the importance of moving beyond simply existing in community. We are called to be family, and that means radical commitment to one another. Through persistent faith, we can bring our friends to Jesus.

View Details

Jesus did not have a typical approach to marketing. Instead of looking for the crowds, He spent time alone with His Father in prayer. The secret ingredient to the success of His ministry was yielding to the Father's will.

View Details

After teaching in thy synagogue, Jesus goes to Peter's home where He finds his mother-in-law sick with fever, and Jesus heals her. Relationship with Jesus invites Him into our homes. When we invite Jesus in, He meets our needs. Our greatest need is restored relationship with Father God - we should give Him access to everything, not just our Sunday mornings.

View Details

The authority of truth lies in God's Word. When we take heed to the authority of Jesus' word, others take notice. It has the power to change lives. The question is: "Are we yielded?" All power to live the Christian life comes from Him.

View Details

Jesus calls four men to be disciples by transforming their occupations from the mundane to the miraculous, giving them new meaning.

After the death of John the Baptist, Jesus begins His ministry. His message: the time is fulfilled, the kingdom of God is at hand – repent and believe in the gospel!

View Details

In this passage, Jesus faces Satan in the Wilderness. Pastor Heath provides a contrast between the first Adam's experience with temptation and that of Christ, the Second Adam.

View Details

Why was Jesus Baptized? Baptism symbolizes the work of the Holy Spirit. Listen as Pastor Heath explains the reason Jesus was baptized, and what that means for us.

Mixture of songs and Scripture from Palm Sunday to Good Friday.

View Details

"I am a creature of a day. I am a spirit come from God and returning to God. I want to know one thing: the way to heaven. God Himself has condescended to teach me in that way: he has written it down in a book. O, give me that book. At any price give me the book of God. Let me be a man of one Book." -John Wesley

View Details

Timothy had a wonderful heritage of faith in Christ and so can we even if it starts with us.

View Details

The apostle Paul was not just a great teacher, preacher, and writer, he was a model Christian, an example we would do well to follow.

View Details

In order to be protected against falling into error we must be well acquainted with the truth.

Fighters train to fight so that they can win, Christians train to fight o that they can win over.

Far too often we, like Pharisees, focus on keeping the outside of our dishes clean while neglecting to clean the inside.

View Details

One of the sharpest weapons of the enemy is division within the church family. Paul gives Timothy some strategies in dealing with "word battles" within the church.

View Details

Paul gives his young protege three encouragements and a warning when it comes to suffering for Christ.

View Details

Modern Christianity looks like the feeling person's religion instead of the thinking person's religion. It is not all one or the other.

View Details

This sermon was given just days after the death of one of our Elder's wives and another Elder's mother. Their hope was set on Jesus Christ and they were confident of their resurrection at His return as is ours.

Pastor Heath outlines his planned sabbatical for the summer of 2019 as well as the cost of being a soldier, an athlete, and a farmer for Jesus.

Passing the torch for the Apostle Paul was not just about training new leaders it was about preserving the teaching of Christ.

View Details

Are we part of a "minimum church," or a "maximum church?"

View Details

Grace is God's greatest gift to mankind.

View Details

By the grace of God we are not left wondering what a life of faith in Jesus Christ should look like, we have been given a pattern of healthy doctrine to follow.

View Details

Timothy allowed fear to keep him from his responsibilities, will you?

View Details

The spirit of fear is not from God. The Spirit of power, love and self-control is.

View Details

God always answers prayer. The answer may be: yes, no, or, wait, but how do we handle the answers that we receive?

View Details

The ministry of the gospel to our families and the ministry of prayer are paramount for the Christian.

View Details

Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ are the highest good we could wish for anyone.

Good Elders are gatekeepers of sound doctrine from God's flock.

View Details

God's design for His church includes entrusting Elders with the stewardship of His household.

View Details

DON'T SKIP THE INTRODUCTION!

View Details

We are beginning our work on the letter to Titus, the second to last Epistle from the great Apostle Paul.

View Details

Everything that we do is devoted to the pursuit of building a kingdom, the simple question we must ask is: which kingdom?

View Details

Everything we have we have been given by God whether a little or a lot. We have been given it to use for God's glory and our good, and God alone gets to decide what that is.

View Details

Division in the church is an attack on the gospel.

View Details

Worshiping the Lord at work by our behavior and attitude is among the most genuine forms of worship.

View Details

The church belongs to the Lord, it is His invention and should be organized according to His design.

View Details

How we treat other people is based in large part on how we view them.

View Details

Salvation is a free gift from God, growth in godliness, however, takes effort.

View Details

Falsehood and false teaching are rampant in our world, even in the church. In order to combat false teaching we must know the truth.

View Details

1 Timothy 3:16 is a piece of an ancient hymn of the church, a simple song of faith.

View Details

Is the church as we know it an incidental organization designed by people or is it God's design for His children in the world?

View Details

The Lord did not leave His church devoid of direction for its organization, he provided Elders to look after spiritual needs and Deacons to look after physical needs.

View Details

The Lord Himself has provided guidelines for the oversight and management of His local church families. His plan is already blessed!

View Details

God the father desires all to be saved and is heartbroken when people reject Him. Christ's sacrifice was sufficient payment for the sins of all mankind but is only efficient for those who trust Him.

View Details

Prayer is among the most powerful gifts given to the Christian and it is given to every single one of them!

View Details

The Christian faith is a faith of remembering, remembering what we once were and remembering that we are now something totally different.

View Details

If the Law of Moses is not for making one righteous, what is it for?

View Details

Sometimes it's tempting to skip the salutations of the letters of the New Testament but they, like the rest of the letter, are worth our careful consideration.

View Details

1 Timothy is the first of Paul's "Pastoral Epistles."

View Details

What would happen if, just for a moment, we could see ourselves the way God sees us?

View Details

The new way of life for the Christian is not limited to activity within the four walls of a church building, it reaches into every relationship and orders our every interaction whether at home or at work.

View Details

Christianity is not just a list of things to not do, there is a lot we get to do too!

View Details

Everything about us, from outward behavior to inward attitudes should testify that we belong to Jesus.

View Details

Mortifying our members is putting to death what is earthly in us, including our earthly definitions of sexual relations and behaviors.

Through faith in Jesus Christ eternal life is not a distant destination in a far off heaven...

This week we will examine verses two and three of Charles Wesley's hymn, "Hark the Herald Angels Sing."

Another hymn by Charles Wesley, Hark the Herald Angels Sing is full of rich theology.

Advent is a season of longing, not for Christmas presents but for the only gift that truly satisfies, the gift of Jesus Himself.

The music of the Christmas season is one of its most defining attributes. Join us as we examine the rich theology and strong biblical doctrine of Charles Wesley's hymn, "Com Thou Long Expected Jesus."

The basic principles are the fundamental philosophical building blocks of any given society, the world has a set and the church has set.

In the conclusion of our series on the book of Philippians we will examine how WHY we give to the Lord's work is far more important than WHAT we give.

He who called us to it, will... drag us through it (if necessary!)

Our outlook determines our attitude, our attitude determines our actions...

Philippians 4:4-7 includes a conditional promise from God, IF we will do this, THEN God will do that...

Elder Jon Mangum brings a message from Philippians.

View Details

Every good recipe has a secret ingredient. The recipe for unity within the church is no different.

View Details

Being a disciple of Jesus Christ is not an individual pursuit, it is a team effort.

View Details

The apostle Paul was not a super hero but he did have the power of single-mindedness about his mission for the Lord, a power that is not unavailable to Christ followers.

View Details

There is a difference between things that are hard and things that are bad but God uses both to make His people more like Jesus and the advance the gospel.

View Details

All too often we reduce the church in our minds to just a system of rules and set events but the church really is so much more...

View Details

The Epistle to the Philippians though written from imprisonment is Paul's most joyful and thankful letter to the church.

Acts 2:42-47 reminds us of the lifestyle of the early church and how it serves as a model for the church today.

View Details

As the church across the globe celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Isaiah reminds us that it was God's plan all along.

View Details

Isaiah 53, the prophecy of the Suffering Servant is a clear description of Jesus' life and ministry written over seven hundred years before He was born in Bethlehem.

View Details

Over 700 years before Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the Prophet Isaiah predicted His entire life and ministry. Isaiah 52 and 53 describe it in detail.

View Details

The Armor of God is applied in our thinking and it must be put on before we can accurately get to the doing which is prayer.

View Details

The helmet of Salvation and the Sword of the Spirit are the final pieces of God's Armor available to followers of Christ to take up.

View Details

The most important aspect of the Roman shield, the picture Paul uses to describe our faith, is that it is massive!

View Details

Of the six individual pieces of the Armor of God, three are placed on the Christian at salvation, when they come to faith in Jesus Christ.

View Details

We often get confused as to who our enemy really is, what resources are available to us for the battle, and what our responsibilities are as Christians.

View Details

While slavery is still a huge problem in our times, the principles Paul discusses in Ephesians 6:5-9 have to do with how to worship while we are at work.

View Details

Paul's instruction to the church was to submit to one another out of reverence to Christ and got very specific about how to do that within the individual Christian household.

View Details

Biblical submission and love are the key ingredients to a marriage that glorifies God.

View Details

We tend to think that other people are what stand in the way of our happiness, and in a way, we're right.

View Details

Living as "children of light" as Paul describes Christians comes with instructions on living lives of personal holiness.

View Details

Jesus said, "You are the light of the world, a city on a hill cannot be hidden."

View Details

Contrary to popular opinion, God DOES in fact have standards for Christian behavior!
