Once we are taken captive by the holiness of God He opens the door to freedom from the world.
The enemy within might be the most obstinate of all. The ancient practice of fasting can help us battle this enemy.
The end of freedom is not self-indulgence but rather Jesus expressing himself through each of us and our unique wiring so that we love and live for God and others.
Crossroads ministry partners and friends Justin with Chi Alpha and Chris with T.E.AM share their stories.

The oldest enemy is powerful but Jesus is more powerful. The devil has and will win many battles but Jesus has won the war. Through Jesus, we have access to the power to fight and win the daily battles.
We must be intentional about developing the skills necessary to love God and love others
Jesus makes it really easy for us when He said love God and love others. Why do we still struggle with missing the point?
Jesus makes the impossible possible as He goes ahead of us to flip things upside down and inside out.
The ongoing process of Identifying and living out of our core values eliminates hypocrisy allowing us to glorify God, grow his kingdom, and live a flourishing life as the person Jesus created us to be.

True human flourishing is found In Humility and Obedience. Humanity's fullest expression of the Image of God is found in Humility and Obedience. God's greatest glory is found in Humility and Obedience
Paul and the Philippians were bound together by the Spirit of Jesus Christ and their prayers for each other, we can be too.
Paul and the Philippians were brought and held Together by the messes of life and the mission of Jesus.
The Brilliance of everything that Jesus did, won, settled, redeemed, released, forgave, and healed through his cross and resurrection is yours as you daily accept the invitation to life with Him.
God has no favorites, all fall short of his glory but that does not keep him from extending his image-protecting love to a thousand generations.
Like Jesus we must never separate the practice of the presence of God from the practice of the presence of people.
Baptism is a tangible expression and reminder of our trust in Jesus that is meant for our good and His Glory.
God works in us and through us when we POSITION ourselves ‘face to face’ with Him, in a POSTURE of humility.
God works in us and through us when we POSITION ourselves ‘face to face’ with Him, in a POSTURE of humility.
The practice of Godly rhythms is key to developing an ongoing, life-giving, conversational relationship with Jesus
Never has the function of the church been more important. Never has the form of the church needed to be more flexible
Tom Kay, Leanne Pethrick, Ben Wang, Matt & Kate Rescsanszky, and Scott & Kathie Taylor share about the importance of praying together.
Jesus' birth is one facet of his brilliance. His brilliance is dependent upon this one facet.
It isn't just biblical heroes that trade their uncertainty for the certainty of God. Today we hear from 3 Crossroaders who did just that
Pastor Tom talks with our friends Dr Mike and Scott about the importance of understanding our families or origin
A high view of God says God is for us, with us, and in control even when it might not feel like it
No human sensibility or worldly obstacle can stand in the way of God fulfilling a promise He has made.
The New Testament encourages us to pursue maturity. For too long the church has neglected a large component of maturity - emotional health.
To pour out our lives on behalf of others in our given contexts, with our unique gifts, talents, and experiences is the best response to the life of Jesus poured out for us.
To pour out our lives on behalf of others in our given contexts, with our unique gifts, talents, and experiences is the best response to the life of Jesus poured our for us.
The new family you receive is one of the greatest gifts and responsibilities that comes with a relationship with Jesus.
Engaging the bible should point you to Jesus Christ. Engaging Jesus Christ should point you to the Bible.
What's Next? To grow in our understanding and experience of Jesus so that His love flows out of us back to God and to others.
Our joy in and for each other even when, especially when we are not at our best will change the trajectory of lives and the lives of those around us.
Joy is relational. It is founded upon a relationship with Jesus that was so important to him that not even death could keep Him from you.
When we live like people who trust in the hope and resurrection of the dead we bring life to those around us.
Sacrificially loving others is how we experience and express the new life found in Jesus.
Sacrificially loving others is how we experience and express the new life found in Jesus.
Fulfilling your God-given purpose to give everything that you are to God and others is the best thing for God, others, and you.
The anchors of our past and the obstacles of our future are no match for the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit.
God calls us to care enough for the people around us to share the most important truth we know….Jesus.
There is nothing more important when it comes to sharing Jesus than the necessity AND agreement of our words AND actions.
God's eternal plan of salvation tells us that the problem of our sin is not greater than our importance to Him.
Jesus is the ultimate assurance that, In His perfect timing, God keeps his word and blesses those who take Him at his word.
Grace is God's goodness offered to all without exception through faith in Jesus so that we might joyfully live with Him and like Him forever.
Boldness comes as we experience God's faithfulness Humility comes as we experience God's transcendence
God wants you with Him in His kingdom. And not only because He promised, but because He's excited to have you.
Prayer is not just a means to communicate with God. Prayer is an acknowledgment of Who and What God is.
If we keep God as the central, organizing relationship in our lives we bring His peace and a non-anxious presence with us where ever we go.
We have many reasons to celebrate the work of God's grace. Not the least of which is adversity cannot stop it.
Sometimes the Holy Spirit has to break through barriers in us before He breaks barriers through us.
Jesus is always at work. One of the many reasons we keep our fixed eyes on Jesus is to know where He is at work and how we might join him in that work.
Jesus provides this prayer so that we might pray more! More often, More persistently, More confidently, More faithfully, More expectantly.
God reveals Himself through His Word to everyone, and that’s how we recognize His Spirit.
Through the HOLY SPIRIT, the same POWER given to Stephen for ministry LIVES in US. Believe and Act on this truth DAILY.
Hope in God allows us to do that which we could not do under our own power. Hope provides strength, power and endurance.
Jesus is the reason for Trust and Thankfulness. Prayer is the expression of our Trust and Thankfulness.
Community that is empowered by the Holy Spirit is authentic. We must constantly test our motives before God as we are moved to love others.
The personal experience of Jesus compels us to obedience and an uncontrollable desire to share Him with others.
When the people of God submit to the work of the Holy Spirit barriers are broken....and people are drawn to Jesus.
Grace is not a soft fluffy esoteric idea. It is a powerful gift that comes with and from following Jesus. It empowers us to live life to the full.
Approaching Jesus in awe, humility, and reverence unleashes His Divine potential on our behalf to face any fear.
Regardless of our circumstances the unbelievable victory of Jesus cannot be taken away - Jesus is still free from the grave
it’s important to worship in both spirit and in truth. You can agree with all the truth in the Bible, and yet, never be moved in your heart and spirit by God’s love for you. On the flip side, you can have the most emotional experience, and yet, without truth, your faith cannot weather the storm.
The more we experience the goodness of God the more God reveals Himself to others through their experience of us.
Recounting God stories, in scripture and in our lives, celebrates God in a way that not only worships Him, but points us toward the future with confidence and hope.
The way of Jesus is paved with questions. The way of Jesus is not easy but on it, you find provision, protection and intimacy
Honoring God with our bodies is not about earning God's presence with us. God's presence with us creates the opportunity for all that we do to become Honoring to Him.
Knowing who we are and what we are called to do is the best filter for the things we allow to occupy our time.
The power of the Holy Spirit at work in us, allows us to leave behind our biggest regrets, push forward through our greatest fears, and chase after the desire of our hearts.
True Freedom happens when we allow Jesus to be and do what the bible tells us He is and does.
Whether our burden is fear, anger, pain, questions, self-reliance, the desire to know and be known, or the pressure to figure out our identity, Jesus will take it all and give us Himself. With Him comes a new identity that is unshakeable.
God most wants us to understand how much he loves us; then He wants us to act as a channel of that love to others. This truth requires action because LOVE is revealed through ACTION.
It is because God is perfectly perfect that He can be both incomprehensible and personally knowable.
To make disciples you have to be a disciple. To be a disciple you have to make disciples
It is not what you lack that is causing you to feel lost and incomplete. It is what you have that causes your discontent.
In mercy, we pursue those who have wronged us or are struggling in the same way that Jesus pursues us.
A life that desires Jesus first is a life that stands firm in the midst of the waves and chaos
Your problems are not a sign of how God feels about you. Your problems are a sign of what He wants to do through you, for you and in you.
Each time Jesus says "Follow Me," He is extending an invitation to Himself and his mission.
When confronted with the truth of who Jesus is and what he did we must respond. Our response dictates what our gate/way will look like and ultimately our destination.
When we grab onto the love of Jesus and our identity in Him we can let go of revenge and retaliation.
Seeking forgiveness is not easy but it is absolutely necessary if we are to truly Love God and Love Others.
Jesus is calling us to trade the checklist religion for a relationship with the God of the Universe.
The more you respond to Jesus the more Jesus you get. The more Jesus you get the more Jesus will ask you to respond
Pastor Tom answers questions that were submitted by our community throughout the last 9 weeks
Hypocrisy ends when [INSERT YOUR NAME HERE] dies to self and chooses to become more like Jesus, every day.
Christianity is a claim to exclusivity but it is not alone. It is the responsibility of the believer to handle this exclusive claim to the truth with all the grace that Jesus shows and makes available to them.
Sex has been mishandled by both culture and the church. It is a gift from God that is both, so much more than we make it and not all that we make it out to be at the same time. Sex like all other gifts from God, is supposed to draw people to Him.
When it comes to the concept of Hell the only way to understand it is through the lens of the perfect character of the God of the Bible.
What is the Bible? Is it trustworthy? Is it a good book or something more? What should I do with it? Wherever we are in our journey with God, these questions often nag at us, demanding answers. These are excellent, important questions, and they do have answers!
The change in the life of the eyewitnesses to the resurrection of Jesus is both evidence of the resurrection and encouragement that change is possible for you and me.
The question of evil and suffering that faces mankind is answered that by the evil and suffering endured by Jesus Christ for mankind.
Christianity is open to and encourages honest thought and questions. Honest thought and questions will lead you closer to Christianity.
Prayer is real and it works. Prayer recognizes not only our need of God but also Gods ability and desire to meet those needs.
Wisdom is humility expressing itself in prayer. Prayer recognizes not only our need for God but also his ability and desire to meet those needs.
A personal encounter with Jesus is eternity altering. Jesus calls us to play a significant role in someone else's encounter.
We have been given the gift of community. True community is discovered in the middle of both the messes of life and the mission of Jesus.
To grow in worship, we need to intentionally develop thoughts about and toward Jesus that are true. We need to cultivate feelings about and toward Jesus that are stronger than anything else.
looking UP means studying your Bible, praying, giving and worshipping. Worship is responding to the greatness and glory of God in everything we think, say, and do, both personally and as the church.
When we discover the reality of God and the reality of our own ID we discover our purpose...Love God and Love Others.
Throughout the Christmas story as well as the rest of the Bible angels pop. Definitely UNEXPECTED. Who are they? What do they do? How does the spiritual world effect us today?
Prior to the first Christmas God's people suffered and waited. In the suffering and waiting their expectations of the coming Messiah were altered. Then Jesus is born and everything about Him is unexpected. We still suffer from the same altered expectations today. Jesus will not always be the god we want or expect Him to be but He is always the God we need Him to be.
The shepherds and wise men were unexpected guests at the birth of Jesus Christ. They represent an invitation to us all. For those that don't yet know him, the unexpected guests are an open-armed invitation to the family of God; for those that do know him they are an invitation to join Jesus in his work of glorifying God and growing His kingdom.
The role God gives us in HIS story will always stretch us in a way that requires us to rely on HIM and HIS people in humility. If we could accomplish it on our own, it wouldn’t be God’s Story.
The unexpected family of Jesus should give us hope and encourage us even in the midst of the most trying circumstances.....God keeps his promises.
We are, in large part, the product of the words spoken to us, at us and about us. Therefore, we each hold incredible power over those around us.
God's greatest gifts to us are a new heart for Him and the bible which teaches us how to use that new heart.
God is completely trustworthy -- no matter what is going on around us. That is the reason for joy.
Rich Joy, Heidi Joy, Natalie Samuelson, Brian Kuchmas, Perry & Donna Romano, Tom & Gail Kay, Russ Joy, Kathy & Felix Reyes share stories from the past 25 years
Regular and intentional rest, in and with God, is not only a gift to us but also displays our trust in Him.
