This Sunday Pastor David continues our series entitled "It is Time to Grow Up." This week's message is it's "Time to Pick Up Your Towel."
We live in a day and age that everyone wants to be served; however, there are few that want to serve like Jesus Christ. We will look at the example Jesus gave to the church and how we can incorporate His example of servant hood into our daily lives.

This Sunday Pastor Lynn continues her message on how to address conflict, particularly when it feels personal! Conflict will happen in relationships and communities.
This is a part of being human and a byproduct of being different from one another. Paul writes about the Body of Christ, the Church: "We being many are one body in Christ" (Romans 12:5). In other words, we are different from one another, we have different vantage points and roles, but we are unified through Christ! However, in scripture we see that these differences can create conflict! At the same time scripture gives us clear directions on how to resolve conflict in a godly way. When we do this we become more mature and we honor Christ. We also increase in our love for one another and become closer, more unified, and glorify Him.
This Sunday Pastor Lynn talks about godly conflict and provides examples in scripture on how to address conflict in a way that honors Christ and builds up the community of faith. In order to be a safe, Christ-honoring community, we must learn to address conflict in a way that is in obedience to God's Word. John 13:35 Jesus said, “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.” When we can grow together through resolving conflict with one another we show Christ's love to the world around us!

Both the Old and New Testament teach us that joy is something from the Lord; however, far too many believers live joy-less lives. The Book of Romans tells us, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.” (Romans 15:13)
Joy is not just when things are going great, but in all situations and circumstance.
This Sunday we look at Scripture and learn how to live with the joy of the Lord so that we can enjoy the life that the Lord has given us.

Time to Grow Up: Being People of the Spirit
Pentecost Sunday is the day in the church calendar that celebrates the coming of the Holy Spirit to the church. As believers, many fail to recognize and embrace the power, authority and purpose of the Holy Spirit in their lives. This Sunday, we will look at the need to be People of the Spirit.
Jesus wants all of us to grow up. Christian maturity is one of His greatest desires for our lives. In fact, Hebrews 6:1 tells us, “let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity." God the Father intends for us to always pursue spiritual growth so that we may “be conformed to the image of His Son” (Romans 8:29).
One of the Lord’s greatest desires for Crossroads is to help grow in your personal spiritual maturity. But there’s a lot of confusion about what Christian maturity looks like. As Crossroads help your mature in your faith, it’s important that you are clear about what it means to become more like Jesus.
Maturity isn’t about age. You can be a Christian for 50 years and still not be mature.
Maturity isn’t about appearance. Some people may look spiritually mature, but they aren’t. Just because someone appears dignified, it doesn’t mean they are holy.
Maturity isn’t about achievement. You can accomplish much without being mature in your faith.
Maturity isn’t about academics. A seminary degree or a Bible college degree doesn’t make you spiritually mature.
You don’t get to be mature by comparing yourself to anyone else. You become mature by comparing yourself to the Word of God, to the life of Jesus Christ and to surrendering to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Crossroads is called as a community of faith to make "oaks of righteousness" (Isaiah 61:3). That means we help you grow deeper in your faith, deeper in your understanding of God's Word, and deeper in obedience to the Holy Spirit's voice.
This Sunday Pastor Lynn shares about belonging to a Godly faith community which is central to our maturity in Christ. One of the biggest lies the enemy sows into the minds of Christians is that they do not need a faith community.
This deception can arise from extreme individualism or pain in our past. The truth is we are not to be solitary believers but rather we are to belong to Christ's Body which is made up of other believers that are very different than we are!
The Lord Jesus chose to bring us together as one to cultivate Christ-likeness in us. Belonging to a faith community increases His love in us--the same love that He desires to be spread to the world through us.
Being a part of a diverse community is also part of the Holy Spirit's sanctifying work in our lives! We are challenged to be more like Jesus!
Listen and be encouraged by this word.
As believers we don't always see the connection between our actions and the current storms we are facing. Sometimes there's a time warp that takes place before finally you start to reap the consequences of our actions and our inner storm, whether it be in our marriage, family, finances, personal or work life.
Far too many times our storms are the result of neglect or poor choices. You're going to have to not just pray about it and blame the devil on it. You've actually got to own and take full responsibility. We only have power over the storm if we own responsibility.
This Sunday we address how to handle our storms of life. You don't want to miss this message.
This Sunday we have our wonderful guest speaker Pastor Robert Coffelt preaching on the subject-
"Our legacy's impact is eternal. This truth can help us focus on investing in that which will change lives for eternity."
Pastor Robert Coffelt has been here many times and delivered powerful messages to us. You do not want to miss this message!
Far too many Christians, far too many believers struggle with unforgiveness.
This Sunday Pastor David preaches on this subject to give you biblical guidelines on how to address areas of injustice in your life.

Since the beginning, the enemy has built sophisticated arguments that serve as intimidating idols in our world. These sophisticated arguments look like human reasonings, arguments and solutions without God’s truth as the standard or filter. Because of this, sophisticated arguments can be deceiving, intimidating and convincing to the Child of God who is not daily applying God's Word or living full of the Holy Spirit. As a result, these sophisticated arguments can lead into bondage thinking and belief systems.
Scripture tells us in order to live victoriously we must take every thought captive that sets itself up against the knowledge of God. 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 "For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
This Sunday Pastor Lynn challenges you on how to defeat the sophisticated enemy and live victoriously, being the influencer rather than the influenced! Too long have Christians lived intimidated, deceived or influenced by the enemy's sophisticated arguments, and this was never God's design for them!
The resurrection of Christ is not just a historical fact. It is an ever-increasing reality to the believer.
This Sunday, Pastor David continues the series “It Is
Time To Grow Up” by preaching a message entitled “Living in the Power of Christ’s Resurrection.” This message will challenge us to live in the fullness of what Christ Jesus’ death and was resurrection provided for us.

This Sunday Pastor Lynn shares PART 2 of a message entitled, "It's Time to Grow Up In Obedience!"
You are more powerful than you think, than you even allow yourself to be! When we serve the flesh rather than surrender to the Holy Spirit through our obedience, we are choosing powerlessness. Jesus made a covenant of love with us and our obedience is foundational to that covenant. Jesus said in John 14:15: "If you love me you will keep my commands." Too many times we say we love God but we choose to not obey Him or His Word. Central to our journey with the Lord is growing in obedience. This is how we become mature in our relationship with Him. It is time to put away childish things, including our excuses, and fully obey the Lord when He speaks to us.

This Sunday Pastor David shares a message entitled, "It's Time to Grow Up: Loving God's Word!"
For the Christian, the Bible is considered the "Word of God," and there is much to discover in it so that you can grow in your faith. The Bible is called the Word of God, meaning it can be considered a direct line of communication from the Lord, divinely inspired by the authors of the respective books.
Jesus Christ Himself is also called the Word of God. This concept is based on the truth that Jesus embodied God's message to humanity. According to the Gospel of John, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). This passage suggests that Jesus is not only a messenger of God's Word but that He is the very essence of that Word.
If you want to mature in your faith, there is no other way but to love God's Word. This message will challenge you to love Him and His Word more.

This Sunday Pastor David shares a message entitled, "Things That Get In The Way: Going It Alone!"
Have you ever heard someone say, “I can worship God on my own. I don't need other people!” I have. Even though this may be spoken with a deep conviction, it is not Biblical.
It raises the question: "Do we need to be involved with other Christians in a local church in order to effectively serve God? After all, salvation is an individual decision. Why afterwards must we involve other people? What’s wrong with flying solo?" This message will address those questions and show how the life of the believer was never intended to be a "Going It Alone Faith!"

This Sunday, our missions team returns and shares how the Lord impacted them greatly during their time overseas as well as how He is moving during a political shift. Most of the time of sharing happens offline, however the Lord also moved during the worship and exhortation time.
This Sunday, Crossroads Awakened Youth Ministry leads the service. They lead in worship, prayer, testimony and Pastor Nick delivers the message. In 1 Timothy 4:12 Paul told his young disciple Timothy, "Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity." Crossroads is all about training up the next generation to be passionate about the things of the Lord. This is a great opportunity for the church to gather and support the youth as they lead us in celebration of what the Lord is doing in their lives.Listen and be encouraged!
This Sunday we have a powerful message delivered by Pastor Robert Coffelt. Robert is no stranger to Crossroads and his preaching is always biblically solid and powerfully delivered.

This Sunday Pastor Lynn delivers the message, "Things That Get In The Way: Failure To Launch."
We have just ended our Daniel Fast and "I Thirst For You" Holy Spirit Conference, and the Lord has spoken to us. We have heard from the Lord and now it is time to apply what He has spoken to us. Our obedience is evidence of our faith in God's Word to us!
Many times people hear God speak to them but they fail to obey because they allow circumstances around them or even their own thought life to prevent it. Our obedience will be tested by the world and the enemy. According to Luke 4, during His time of testing , Jesus said to the enemy, "Man does not live by bread alone." The enemy was attempting to have Jesus turn to the physical realm first rather than turn to the Holy Spirit for His strength. Jesus' was quoting Deuteronomy 8:3 "Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word the proceeds from the mouth of God." Jesus was saying, "I find my sustenance from the Word of God first not the physical realm. I obey the Word of my Father first and do not succumb to the desires of the flesh." This is how we are to also live. Listen and be challenged by this word.
Are you obeying what God has told you?
Are you stepping out today to make the changes that will result in Holy Spirit transformation in your life?
As believers we are called to know who we are in Christ and what we are to do with our lives. However, far too many people who know the Lord lack the revelation of who they are in Christ and what they should be doing in this life.
In the message, we address your calling and commissioning from the Lord. It all begins with how you see yourself. If you have a distorted vision about who you are and what you are to do, the logical conclusion is confusion. However, that is never the will of the Lord for your life.
Listen and be challenged by this revelatory message about distorted vision and walk away with a clearer understanding of your calling.
This Sunday Pastor Lynn continues our series and shares the message entitled "Things That Get In The Way:
Spiritual Dryness!"
During this time of fasting we are going after any area of spiritual dryness in our lives. Spiritual dryness comes from unplowed ground--places we have not surrendered to the Holy Spirit. When we have unsurrendered areas, we become spiritual dry and, like Israel, turn to other things, other gods, idols, and even our flesh to fill us and empower us. But this is not God's will and it is dangerous because it can lead us down a path of separation and destruction. Hosea 10:12 says, "Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers his righteousness on you."
Let us take inventory of our lives during this time of fasting and submit ourselves to the Holy Spirit so that He can break up the unplowed spiritual ground in our lives. This will result in the fruit of righteousness--which is simply being like Jesus! And being like Jesus is powerful, abundant living!
This Sunday Pastor David continues our series and share the message entitled "Things That Get In The Way: Pride & Arrogance!"
Far too often in the Christian life we allow our pride and arrogance to derail our faith journey. In this message, Pastor David calls out these tandem killers that prevent a Spirit-filled life.

This Sunday Pastor Lynn continues our series and shares the second part of her previous message entitled, "Things That Get In The Way: Unlawful Dominion: Part Two!"
As a Christian who is filled with the Holy Spirit, the enemy has no right to any area of your life! Do you recognize when the enemy has access to an area of your life and is exercising unlawful dominion?
Christ has defeated the enemy and has been given all authority! Our dwelling place is in Him. He has given to us the keys of His Kingdom! Yet, many believers struggle with defeat and lack victory. This comes from unlawful dominion by the enemy.
This message is part two of a two part message. In part two of this message, Pastor Lynn breaks down ways in which the enemy tries to deceive us into allowing unlawful dominion and how we are to take back what the enemy has stolen through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Listen and be encouraged by this word to launch you into rightful dominion by the power of the Holy Spirit in 2024!
This Sunday Pastor David continues our series on "Things That Get In The Way: Only Seeing Jesus in the Manger and Not as the Risen Lord!"
As the year comes to an end, many celebrate Christmas and do not even think of the full life of Jesus Christ. Far too many believers focus on Jesus in the manger, but forget the rest of His life. Jesus lived, was crucified, went to the grave, was resurrected and ascended into heaven.
As a believer, you cannot separate Jesus from the entirety of His life.
This message challenges us to keep a biblical perspective on our Christmas celebration.

This Sunday Pastor David continues our series on "Things That Get In The Way: Eyes Closed To Things of the Lord!"
This is a continuation in our series and will address one's inability to see what the Lord is doing because they are not walking with the eyes of their hearts open to the things of the Lord.
Jesus wants you to have spiritual enlightenment, discernment, and unobstructed revelation of His plans and purposes for your life.
Listen and be encouraged by this Word!
This Sunday Pastor Lynn brings a message about getting rid of distorted thoughts and dirty filters.
For us to live in the fullness of the Holy Spirit we need to take every thought captive and bring it under submission to Christ. For us to be powerful believers that tear down strongholds we need the mind of Christ! This is daily and it is a process as we grow in the Lord! The world constantly bombards us with information and there are things we can consume--intentionally or unintentionally--that can contribute to distorted thoughts and mindsets that become poisonous to our Christian faith and walk.
Listen with an open heart and mind. This will be a challenging word for us all. We will respond to the message with a time of communion.
This week, we continue with our series, "Things That Get In The Way" with the message on "Spiritual Injustice".
Life has a way of throwing us curves. Often we allow difficult times to cause us to be hurt or offended by others. If we are not careful, this can cause a great deal of spiritual damage to our lives.
This message addresses how this injustice impacts our spiritual lives and our walk with the Lord.
Plan on listening and be challenged by this Word!
This Sunday, Pastor David continues our series of "Things That Get In The Way" with the topic of "Slothfhulness".
An all too common problem with believers - being lazy about developing their faith. Being slack in their dedication to knowing the Word of God. Being too chilled to grow spiritually.

This Sunday Pastor Lynn continues our series on "Things That Get In The Way: Spiritual Vacuum!"
As children of God we are to be filled with the Holy Spirit every day. This is what the Apostle Paul calls. "walking in the Spirit." When we fail to be filled with the Holy Spirit every day we open ourselves to a spiritual vacuum that can be filled by other things. This can quickly compromise us and expose us to being ruled by the flesh or by the powers of the world.
This is a timely message that will uncover the enemy's schemes against us. This message also challenges us to live a powerful Christian life that was given to us by Jesus who "disarmed the power and authorities" that stood against us (Colossians 2:14-15).
You do not want to miss this life changing message!
This Sunday Pastor Lynn continues our series on "Things That Get In The Way: Mismanaged and Misplaced Blessings!"
The Lord loves to bless His children; this is His nature. His blessings are never to be prioritized over the Lord. The greatest commandment is that we are to have no other gods before Him. The Lord provides tests in our lives to see where our heart's affections lie. He also has provided commandments for us to obey. God has given the community of Crossroads a word about His blessings upon us.
At the same time, He is also challenging us to unwavering obedience. As we move forward in this new season before us, the Holy Spirit is searching our hearts to make sure these blessings are not mismanaged or misplaced. We are never to choose the blessings we have been given by God to manage over obedience to Him and His Word!
You do not want to miss this challenging message.
This Sunday Pastor David continues our series on "Things That Get In The Way: Failure To Yield."
Learning to drive and walking with the Lord have a great deal in common. Both require you to learn the rules of the road. Failing to yield in driving is both dangerous and deadly. So too in the Christian faith. Those who refuse to yield to the Lord will inflict damage on others or themselves. I've seen far too many believers who want to do their own thing and not yield to the Lord. Failing to yield to God causes you to fall short of God's design for your life and your potential.
This message will challenge you to rise to the occasion!
This Sunday Pastor Lynn continues our series on "Things That Get In The Way: A Powerless Christian Life."
The Apostle Paul writes to Timothy in his final letter that in the last days people will have a "form of godliness but denying its power." Paul addresses this imitation, counterfeit power that some people fall for because they are following false teachers who encourage pride and gratification of the flesh.
When we choose to gratify and serve our flesh we are choosing powerlessness. Christ came to earth, died, and was resurrected so that we could have His power in us!
This power is the very same power that raised Christ from the dead (Ephesians 1:20). We are living in the last days and we do not want to fall into the enemy's trap of powerlessness!
Listen and be challenged by the Word of God that commands us to live a powerful life now!
This Sunday Pastor David continues our series on "Things That Get In The Way!" by speaking about "A Religious Spirit."
People who come to faith must live out their faith through a growing and dynamic relationship with Christ. If they don't, they adopt a religious spirit to replace the genuine passion for the things of the Lord. Addressing that spirit is essential for healthy growth and spiritual maturity.
Listen and be challenged by this word!
This Sunday Pastor Lynn continues our series on "Things That Get In The Way!" by speaking about "Spiritual Slumber."
In this world and culture that is calling out for our attention, there are many opportunities for spiritual complacency! There are many Christians who are in a spiritual coma which is dangerous; spiritual death is on the other side of this coma. The Holy Spirit is calling His children to increased awareness and responsiveness to His presence! Being in tune to the Spirit of God requires eliminating distractions and things that don't belong in our lives, prioritizing Him by nurturing our relationship with Him daily.
The Lord wants to do a great work in you and through you for such a time as this but it begins by your awareness and responsiveness to His presence! This Sunday you will be impacted by a challenging word! Are you spiritually distracted? Are you spiritually asleep? Are you spiritually dull because you have cultivated your appetite elsewhere? "Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you!" (Ephesians 5:14).
Listen and be strengthened with this word!
This Sunday Pastor David continues our series on "Things That Get In The Way!" by speaking about "Wrong Priorities."
When our priorities are wrong, it doesn’t matter how hard we work at them. It’s like swimming against the current. You put in all the work and effort but cannot get any return for your labor.
When we make the wrong things the priority, it skews all of our judgements and perspectives. On the other hand, having right priorities impacts all we do in a much more positive manner. This week's message will challenge all of us to put first things first.

This Sunday Pastor Lynn shares a message entitled,
"Things That Get In The Way!"
This Sunday Pastor Lynn addresses the obstacle of "Me! Myself! And I!" that is "self." One of our greatest challenges in our walk with Christ is getting out of our own way! Galatians 5:17 tells us that the sinful flesh wants to combat our spiritual man for control. Romans 8 expounds on this truth and says we have an obligation to living according to the Spirit! Every day we are to confront our sinful flesh and put command it to be in submission to Christ Jesus and His Lordship. This is what the Apostle Paul writes about in Romans 12:1 "...offer your bodies as a living sacrifice." When we do this we are submitting to the transformation by the Holy Spirit! Confronting the obstacle of self is a challenge, yet we have been given Holy Spirit power to do so. This message is a powerful word that will help you grow in your relationship with Christ!
This Sunday Pastor David shares a message entitled,
"Things That Get In The Way!"
This Sunday we begin a new sermon series that will address things in our lives that get in the way of how we serve the Lord and allow Him to operate in our lives. Far too many believers blame other things on why they are not growing deeper in their relationship with the Lord. This message will challenge you to confront those things that get in the way in order to take responsibility for your own spiritual growth and maturity.
This Sunday Pastor Lynn shares a message entitled,
"I Love When God Changes Me!"
Growth is central to God's purpose being fulfilled in our lives. But growth requires change! The truth is God's change brings disruption and many times we respond with groans of discomfort. God's change challenges the status quo of our lives, which really is our comfort zone. The Lord is bringing you into a new season--enlarging your territory--but with this comes uncomfortable, yet necessary change! Many times we pray for the change to be comfortable and according to our own design, but this is not God's way! Isaiah 43:19 "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland!"
This Sunday Pastor Lynn challenges you with a word about the purpose of God's Change in our lives and how it brings us into our God given destiny!
Plan on listening to the message!
This Sunday Pastor David shares a message entitled,
"I Love Generosity!"
As a believer, we are called to behave different than the world around us. In this message, you will learn the importance and power of being a person who is generous. Scripture tells us over and over that as a follower of Christ, generosity should flow from our lives.
Listen and be challenged to be an even more generous person.
This Sunday Pastor Lynn shares a message entitled,
"I Love the Confidence from God!"
Confidence is "the state of feeling certain about the truth of something." Every morning the flesh will fight for our agreement with it rather than confidence in God! The enemy attacks our confidence through challenging the truth of God's word to us! There are even things we do or think that can open the door to functioning in human confidence rather than the confidence from God! But to live a life of faith and dwell in Christ's promise of abundant life we must live in the confidence from God. Proverbs 3:26 says, "For the Lord will be your confidence. And will keep your foot from being caught." The Lord says to us, "I want to give you unwavering confidence from me!"
Listen and be challenged by this word!
This Sunday Pastor David shares a message entitled,
"I Love God's Peace!"
The understanding of who you are in Christ will affect you and impact your world. In a day and age of spiraling mental health issues, believers have a wonderful resource at their disposal. We have the power of God's Word, the ministry of the Holy Spirit and the Lord Jesus Himself, who is our Peace, interceding for us. This Sunday we will look at the power of God's Peace - the understanding of Shalom through the lenses of God's Word.
Listen and be encouraged by this word!
This Sunday Pastor Lynn shares a message entitled,
"I Love God's Laugh!"
Did you know that God laughs? Scripture uses this terminology to reveal that our God is not intimidated by the enemy, nor our circumstances, and He knows He is victorious. We have also been made to laugh and to live in the fullness of joy as we walk daily in His presence. This Sunday we learn about how God laughs, why God laughs, and how much He enjoys His children!

"I Love Forgiveness!"
Forgiveness is a key component in the life of a believer. Forgiveness is more about you than the other person. Jesus teaches us the power of forgiveness and how it should be used in our lives.

This Sunday Pastor Lynn shares a message entitled,
"I Love God's Design!"
Loving God's presence is loving God's design! God's design for humans is dwelling in His presence every day. Sin destroyed the capacity to receive what God had for us until Jesus made the way for us to once again dwell in His presence! When we dwell in His presence we flourish because the Holy Spirit governs every area of our lives!

The Lord has given us everything we need for victory in life. He has paid the price for our sin and given us His righteousness! What is righteousness? It is being realigned from crooked standards and being lined up according to God's perfect standards. When God sees us, He sees Christ's righteousness! Christ did for us what we couldn't do for ourselves and now we live with the effects of Christ's righteousness.
In this message, Pastor Lynn shares how the righteousness we have been given is a weapon against the enemy! And that Christ's righteousness is central to our identity as His children! We are powerful people because of the righteousness we have received! Listen and be challenged and empowered by this message.

The desire to please God is more than mere obedience. It includes being passionately in love with Jesus in such a way that you embrace your journey with Him--every part of it!
As children of God we must recognize that as we please God our light will shine brighter to the world around us. Because His Kingdom is within us, we bring it to others through our lives. Therefore, we must expect that there will be a clash between the Kingdom of God (Light) and the Kingdom of Darkness. The world will hate us because the light of Christ exposes the deeds in the darkness. At the same time, this is the mission of our lives--His Kingdom bringing freedom, healing, and God's love to others!
This Sunday Pastor Lynn challenges us not to merely obey the Lord, but passionately desire to please Him!

Some people love God but not His ways. They can even resent God's ways because they have not learned that His ways are central to His character. Moses understood in order to have success in his assignment he needed to know God's ways: "If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may know you and continue to find favor with you." (Exodus 33:13). This Sunday we will discover how God's ways are rooted in His character and His ways are contrary to the ways (and thoughts) of the world!

This Sunday Pastor Lynn shares a message entitled, "Baptism of Love."
Central to our Baptism in the Holy Spirit and Fire is the Baptism of Love. This is a fullness of the supernatural love of God that helps us to love Him, ourselves, and others. This Baptism of Love must be cultivated daily so that we can walk with power to love our families, friends, enemies and people who are very different than us.
This love is the greatest deterrent to prejudice, offense and hatred that can so easily creep into our fleshly thoughts and attitudes. The greatest power the Lord has given to us is His supernatural love! We discover this supernatural love as we walk in the fullness of His Holy Spirit. Truly what sets followers of Christ apart from the world is the supernatural love of God in and through our lives.

This Sunday Pastor David shares a message entitled "Loving Your Neighbor." In a time when anger, rage and hatred is far too common, believers are called to fulfill the Law of Christ and act lovings towards everyone. Throughout His ministry on earth, Jesus Christ showed His followers how to love others. Many of the Lord's major teachings were about loving our neighbors and in doing so, being vessels of Christ's grace and mercy.
This Sunday we will continue our series on "Love" by addressing the need to demonstrate our faith not just in words, but also in actions.
This Sunday Pastor Lynn shares a message entitled "Loving God--Getting Honest." As we launch our 21 days fast it is a time to respond to the Holy Spirit's cleansing stream. We want to dig a deeper well allowing the roots of faith in Jesus and love for Him to become stronger, stout, unflinching and unwavering. This begins with taking an inventory of our love for God! Matthew 22:37 tells us the greatest commandment is to "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." These three parts of our being is how Scripture chooses to describe loving God with ALL. Central to loving God with ALL requires our surrender to Him and His commands. This Sunday is a day to take inventory of our love for God and grow deeper by removing those things that resist surrender and thereby embracing His presence in the deepest parts of our lives. You do not want to miss the first Sunday of the Daniel Fast. This is going to be an incredibly powerful month!
Happy New Year!
We gather together and celebrate the goodness of the Lord with our church family! We also celebrate communion and learn about the incredible love the Lord has for us as His sons and daughters. Most people have heard John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Communion is the embodiment of that love. As we begin the New Year, we want to emphasize the power of God's love through investigating the power of the sacrament of holy communion in our daily lives.
Listen and be encouraged by this word and the fellowship of communion!

The Apostle Paul summarizes how believers are to live out their lives--by faith and not by sight! As Christians, our Lord continues to challenge us to walk by faith--increasing our faith in Him as we obey! This Sunday we learn faith lessons from the life of Moses--a man chosen by God to walk by faith and by doing so led the people of Israel out of their bondage and into their true identity thereby encountering God in a more intimate way! The truth is as we walk by faith we grow in intimacy and a deeper relationship with God!
Listen and be challenged by this word!
This Sunday Pastor David preaches on a very important topic: Jesus Christ is God! In our increasingly pluralistic and antagonistic culture, far too many believers think either Jesus was a created being, one of many ways to God, or only a moral teacher. The truth is Jesus Christ is God, has always existed, and is the only way to eternal life! If believers don't know who Jesus is, everything He has done for them is either discounted, not believed, or they live with confusion and uncertainty. Scripture tells us that everything that was made, both in heaven and on earth, was made through Christ. We also know that in Christ we live and move and have our being! It is vital that we know the one to whom we love and serve! We need to know the truth about Him according to the Word of God! Jesus said I have come that you might have life and life abundantly and central to abundant life is knowing Christ!

This Sunday, Pastor Lynn shares a message entitled, "I Believe God Rewards!" Scripture tells us in many places that God gives His children gifts and that He also rewards His children. Our reward has to do with our obedience regarding the gifts He has given to us. Hebrews 11:6 says, "But without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." We must believe that He rewards those who seek after Him! While on earth, Jesus spoke to His followers about receiving rewards for their obedience in this life and the next (Mark 10:29-30).

On the launch of our faith community's 21 days Daniel Fast, Pastor Lynn shares this important message, "People of the Kingdom are Devoted to God: Lessons from the life of Daniel." Daniel was a devoted follower of God. From the onset of his captivity in the Babylon kingdom, he resolved not to be defiled by the surrounding culture. Although Daniel faced many trials and testings, he remained a spiritual thermostat who influenced the leaders around him and served as a change agent for God's purposes. This Sunday, be encouraged by Daniel's life story and be challenged to remain devoted to God no matter what circumstances or trials we encounter.
As we get ready to start a New Year, Pastor David shares a powerful message about how to handle your finances with the Lord in mind. The message this Sunday is "People of the Kingdom Honor God With Their Wealth!" The Lord wants His children to know that He bestows favor and blessing upon them. This gives them the ability to produce wealth. Scripture speaks a great deal about this subject. Please listen to hear how the Lord wants you to manage and steward your finances in the coming year.
Pastor Lynn's message is "People of the Kingdom Embrace Divine Change--Lessons from the Life of Elijah." Elijah was used by God to advocate for change in the lives of those around him. Even though he was in the minority, he fearlessly obeyed God and as a result the hearts of the people turned back to the Lord. The Lord is raising up an Elijah generation with a passion for those who are far from God to return to Him. Listen and be challenged by this word on how God wants to use you to initiate change in others!

Listen and find the key to walking out your Christian life in the joy the Lord has for you.
This Sunday Pastor Lynn's message is "People of the Kingdom Embrace Divine Change, Part 2." This message will focus on lessons we can learn from the life of Moses. Did you know that God is in every part of your life? Even in your childhood He was at work forming you for your destiny? The Lord has a purpose for your mistakes and blunders--using them to direct you and draw you to Him! The life of Moses is a great example of this. Listen and be challenged to think differently about how God is present in your past and in your problems. His divine change begins with how we think about our lives!
This Sunday Pastor David shares the truth that People of the Kingdom are REAL! As a follower of Christ, you are called to be a person who reflects your Creator.

This Sunday Pastor Lynn shares the truth that People of the Kingdom Embrace Divine Change! There's been a shaking going on and in the midst of it the Lord is changing us!

Listen and be challenged by this word on Divine Change!

This Sunday Pastor Lynn shares how People of the Kingdom Are More Than Conquerors! As new creations in Christ we have His overcoming power. This doesn't mean there aren't challenges, battles, and storms, it simply means He has given us His power to conquer those things. Whatever you may face internally or externally, through the power of the Holy Spirit you ARE more than a Conqueror! Be challenged by this powerful word.
This Sunday, Pastor David shares about how People of the Kingdom Know God is Good! It is interesting that people complain, blame and rage at God because they have a improper understanding of His goodness! We have a good, good Father and we need to live in this revelation. Listen and be challenged by this powerful word.
This Sunday Pastor Lynn shares about how People of the Kingdom are called to Surrender and Submit to the Holy Spirit!

Be encouraged and challenged by this powerful word.

This Sunday Pastor Lynn will continue our series with a message entitled, "People of the Kingdom Fight to Build His Church!" This generation has been handed the baton of faith to build the Church of Jesus Christ. As a result Christ followers are not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in their daily lives--both public and private. We are all called to Build His Church. That means building up believers as well as the community of faith.
Come and be challenged by this word.
Pastor David continues our series with a message entitled, "People of the Kingdom Fight The Good Fight!" The Apostle Paul tells us that we are to fight the good fight of the faith.

Pastor Lynn continues our series with a message entitled, "People of the Kingdom Experience Miracles!" The Lord wants to do miracles in our lives. He wants us to believe Him for the impossible!

Believe God for miracles in your life and the lives of those around you!

We continue our series with a message by Pastor David entitled, "People of the Kingdom Are Overcomers!" God's Word boldly declares that His children are overcomers in Christ Jesus! Romans 8:37 tells us, "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." But why has the church been so overwhelmed by the world? Jesus was more than a conqueror and so are His children. Have your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Word of God and the Power of the Holy Spirit re-energized this Sunday.
We continue our series with a message by Pastor Lynn entitled, "Kingdom Builders Stand on God's Promises!" According to 2 Cor. 1:20 all of God's promises are yes in Christ Jesus! However, there are many times in our faith journey when we stand on God's promises by faith. We know faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen and therefore we stand believing without seeing! This Sunday Pastor Lynn challenges us to stand on God's promises even while you wait to see your victory, healing, provision, or whatever you are believing God to do in your life!

We continue our series with a message by Pastor Lynn entitled, "The Unshakable Kingdom." We have received an unshakable Kingdom that was established by Jesus' work!

We continue with our series entitled, "People of His Kingdom." Pastor David speaks on "People of the Kingdom Are Not Ashamed of the Gospel!" Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit to empower us to boldly bring His message to the world. The Apostle Paul knew the power of God's Word to transform lives and he calls us to boldly declare the message of Christ to everyone we encounter.
We continue our series entitled "People of His Kingdom." This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday and Pastor Lynn speaks on "Kingdom Builders are Fishers of Men!" Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit to empower us to be His witnesses! To bring His beautiful message to the world. Jesus told His disciples, "I will make you fishers of men!" We are Jesus' disciples to this generation and we have the same calling as those who followed Him when He was on earth. Just like them, we are called to bring the Good News of Jesus' love and forgiveness with signs, wonders, healing and miracles following! But what prevents us from bringing this message? That's a good question! This message will challenge us to remove the barriers, excuses, and reasons for not being the witnesses He has called us to be. Oh, how the world needs the love of Jesus--to know that He came for them--to love, heal, and restore them! And they won't know unless we tell them!
We continue our series entitled "People of His Kingdom." This week we look at how people of the Kingdom bring the presence of the Kingdom everywhere they go. Far too many Christians just want to make it to heaven without being a representative of Jesus Christ to a dying world. We are called to bring His Kingdom everywhere we go. We are not to shrink back and just wait for Jesus to return. According to Mark 1:15 Jesus said, "The time has come. The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!" As His followers we are to proclaim the Good New of His Kingdom.
This Sunday is a day to honor all the women in the church! We also will have three guest speakers--right from our own congregation--who have a word for you entitled, "Eternal Fruit Bearers!" This word is for EVERYONE! Don't miss it! We have gifts for all the ladies. This will be an awesome opportunity to invite a friend or someone who does not have a church home.
We continue with our new series entitled "People of His Kingdom." The truth is that the world wants us to fear the giants in the land or co-exist with them. They tell us, "This is the safest thing to do; this is the most logical and acceptable answer to our problems." Many Christians are deceived into believing the world's answers! The enemy is pressing hard to have us negotiate with the principalities and powers in high places rather than defeat them. But although these powers are present to kill, steal and destroy us, we have the Holy Spirit's power to defeat them! Being a giant slayer is foundational to bringing Jesus' Kingdom to the earth. Listen and be challenged by this word!
We begin a new series entitled "People of His Kingdom." We explore what Scripture teaches about being a people who bring His Kingdom to the earth. Pastor David begins the series this week by preaching about the call we have to be People of His Kingdom.
We are blessed to have Unbound Youth lead the worship service. Listen and hear the great things that Pastor Nick is doing with the future leaders of this church. The Apostle Paul told young Timothy, "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity" (1 Timothy 4:12). God is calling up a new generation of young men and women who want to be serious about the things of the Lord. Listen and hear what Jesus is doing in the lives of our young warriors!
We complete our series on "Cleaning House." At the launch of this sermon series Pastor Lynn had a dream about all of us participating in a graduation ceremony. In order for us to "walk the line" and receive our degree we had to "clean our dorm." We could not advance until our dorm was clean! The Lord has given us an assignment and has equipped us to do it, but He wants our "house" to be clean! Over the last couple months Pastors David and Lynn have given powerful messages about surrendering areas of our lives to Him! These messages have been anointed by the Holy Spirit. This Sunday, Pastor Lynn will give the final message entitled, "I Am Clean!" This is our declaration regarding our surrender to the Holy Spirit's work. We have cleaned the dorm and it is time to graduate into our new season of power and authority! He has clothed us in new regalia symbolizing the authority he has given to us. He has swept our house clean and filled us with Him! Now we are being promoted to exercise what He has given to us! It is commencement day. He has made you ready! You do not want to miss this day of impartation!
We continue our series on "Cleaning House." Pastor David speaks on "Clean Slate." The work of Jesus Christ on the cross provided you and me with a new beginning. Actually the work of Jesus at Calvary allowed you and me to have a clean slate in relationship with God the Father. How we use that opportunity determines everything about our future and how we live our lives.
We continue our series on "Cleaning House." Pastor Lynn speaks on "Clean Conflict." Conflict happens in every relationship. It is a part of getting to know one another and it is essential to diversity and different ways of seeing things! However, conflict can go sideways really quick and become destructive to relationships! The enemy does not want us to have "Clean Conflict" that brings us closer to others! He wants us to have destructive conflict that creates division, offense, and unresolved anger. If we want to have healthy, clean, God-honoring relationships, we need to address conflict Jesus' way!
Crossroads Christian Center is launching its’ 'Tongues of Fire' Worship Service! This title comes from Acts 2:3 when tongues of fire rested on the heads of those who were baptized in the Holy Spirit. The nations had gathered together when the Holy Spirit was poured out at Pentecost. We believe this is the time to UNITE in worship and the word with our brothers and sisters in Christ!
We continue our series on "Cleaning House." Pastor David speaks on "Clean Integrity." Integrity means we have pure motives already, but as we have witnessed in so many ways, our culture "modifies" our integrity to mean that it should suit our own needs. What does the Bible say about being upright people? Listen and be challenged.
We continue our series on "Cleaning House." Pastor Lynn speaks on "Clean Relationships." Relationships are where the "rubber meets the road" in how we serve the Lord. Allowing the Lord to be a central aspect to ALL of our relationships is vital to living a powerful life. Listen with an open heart and be challenged regarding the relationships the Lord has entrusted to our lives.
We continue our series on "Cleaning House." Pastor David speaks on "Clean Motives." The Bible talks a great deal about our motives. Motives spur us on to action and our behavior is an indication of our motives! Having clean motives demonstrates our love for the Lord and His will in our life. Listen and be challenged by this word!
We continue our series on "Cleaning House." Pastor Lynn speaks on a "Clean Mind." Scripture tells us that we are transformed by the renewing of our minds. We are new creatures because Christ lives in us! So a clean mind is a transformed mind! Are you living life with a transformed mind or are your thoughts in agreement with the world? Listen and be challenged by this word!
We continue our series on "Cleaning House." Pastor David speaks on a "Clean Mouth." Scripture is very clear that our mouth should be used to bless and not curse. We look at how the Lord uses our mouths to declare His praises and speak forth our destiny.
We continue our series on "Cleaning House." Pastor Lynn speaks on a "Clean Heart." Jesus tells us that we can see God when we have a pure heart! Scripture refers to our hearts as the central control center for our spiritual lives, emotional lives, and even dreams for our lives! The heart is deeply connected to how we think too. So what are the challenges to keeping a clean heart? Pastor Lynn addresses areas in our lives that try to prevent a clean heart and will challenge us to give any area of our heart to the Lord that we knowingly or unknowingly are withholding! What a great Valentine's Day message--a clean heart for Jesus!
We begin our new series entitled "Cleaning House." Pastor David speaks on "Clean Hands." Growing Christians walk in a polluted world daily; however, we are called to walk in this world with clean hands. Listen to this encouraging message on how you can live your life of faith with clean hands.
Pastor Lynn speaks on "The Results of the Season for Miracles." Miracles produce change in our lives! When we encounter Him in a supernatural way we have an opportunity to embrace transformation or walk away! Come and be challenged by this word! Don't stay home because you've attended the Thirst Conference.
This year's theme is "Miracle Maker! " Scripture tells us in Psalms 77:14 "You are the God who performs miracles!"
We serve a God who still does miracles in our lives. This is a time set apart unto the Lord to prepare for the new year! It will be powerful time in the Lord. A fresh anointing is coming your way! Just as the Lord anointed the Apostle Paul for miracles, we are believing for a fresh anointing upon us! Acts 19:11 "God did extraordinary miracles through Paul." So get ready to receive.
Pastor David speaks on "Keys to Miracles." Do you know that God wants you to live in the supernatural? He wants to demonstrate His power and authority through His children. What do you need to do to experience a miracle? This message will challenge us to see how miracles happen and what we can do to be vessels of the miraculous.
Pastor Lynn speaks on "Why Miracles?" Why does God want us to still experience His miracles today? Doesn't talking about miracles make us look weird to the world? Well, the Scripture is full of miracles and God's miraculous power reveals His superiority over all things! And He has invited His children to be involved in the miraculous to confirm the reality of Jesus Christ in our lives!
Pastor David speaks on "Finding Your Miracle." We serve a powerful God who wants to release miracles in our lives. This is the first of a series on experiencing miracles.
We are blessed this Sunday to have Rev. Robert Coffelt preach the Word and have Worship Encounter lead us in worship. Worship Encounter is a ministry that develops the culture of true worship in churches throughout our region. They are frequent guests of Crossroads and have a powerful anointing!

Pastor Lynn speaks on "The God Who Gives!" Jesus came as a babe because God the Father gave Jesus to us as the perfect sacrifice for our sins! Our God continually gives and because we have His Spirit in us we are to give too! Listen and be challenged!
Pastor David speaks on "His Name Shall Be Called Everlasting Father!" Christ was born as a child but represented an Everlasting Father for all of humanity. The marvel of creation is the birth of the Christ Child and the promise of His birth fulfilled.
Our guest speaker this Sunday is Robert Coffelt and his message is entitled, "Living with Hope!" Hope is actually an act of faith, especially during troubling times. We will be looking at how hope in Jesus Christ can change our lives.
Pastor Lynn speaks on "The God Who Builds." Creation is about God, the Architect, building a beautiful place for humans to live. Scripture tells us Jesus created everything! The truth is God is the Builder of everything and everything belongs to Him! Most importantly, God builds His people! God's redemptive plan was to redeem and restore His people and build them into a powerful church in the earth. God is building you! He is building your faith!

Pastor David speaks on El-Kanna, the Jealous God! This name is found in the Book of Exodus and has stirred up a great deal of confusion.

Pastor Lynn speaks on El-Gibhor, the Mighty God! We serve a powerful, strong, and mighty God who is bold and audacious! Whatever problem, challenge, or storm you face, you can be sure that your God, El-Gibhor, is the Mighty God who cannot be defeated! Tune in and be encouraged by this word!

Our God is El Emet: The God of Truth! There is no falsehood or deception in Him.

Pastor Lynn gives a message on the God of Breakthrough! Do you need a breakthrough in your life? How do you know if you need one?

He has declared new things in our lives but many times we need breakthroughs for this to happen. The Lord is all about growth and victory in the lives of His children. Listen to this message about the God of the Breakthrough!
Jehovah Rohi, the Lord Our Shepherd, is a beautiful name for our God. Most people know the famous passage of Psalms 23 which describes God as our Great Shepherd! This concept of God the Great Shepherd is a very ancient description of the Lord. In the Bible, Jacob is the one who uses this name in Genesis 49:24 to describe how the Lord is with us. This Sunday we look into the powerful name of Jehovah Rohi, Lord our Shepherd, and learn how committed He is to His children.
On Resurrection Sunday Pastor Lynn preaches on God's name, Jehovah Rapha, the Lord our Healer. Isaiah 53:5 says But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed. Our resurrected Lord hung on the cross and was crucified for our healing! His healing power is available to us in every way: body, mind, soul and spirit! He is our Healer! Tune in to listen and receive the word of the Lord! He IS risen! He IS risen indeed!
This Sunday is Palm Sunday! On Palm Sunday the waving of the palm branches declared the victory of the Messiah as He was led through the streets of Jerusalem. In the spirit of this significant day, Pastor David continues our series on the names of God with an emphasis on Jehovah Nissi - The Lord Our Banner! This name of God is found in Exodus 17:15: "Moses built an altar and called it The LORD is my Banner." A banner is used to declare or advertise something. Jehovah Nissi is the name used by God to declare His faithfulness to His children. The name represents every good and perfect gift that comes from our Heavenly Father. His name reveals our identity as sons and daughters of the Most High God. Jehovah Nissi is another name for the powerful saving grace of Jesus Christ and through His final work all the privileges afforded to His children.
Listen as we share the powerful truth of God being our supernatural banner.
Pastor Lynn continues our series on the names of God with an emphasis on Jehovah Jireh, "The God Who Provides!"

We do not have to be fearful or anxious, our Lord wants us to dwell in His peace and He wants our minds to be filled with peace. Listen and encounter the God of Peace in an even greater way!
Pastor David continues our series on the names of God with an emphasis on Jehovah Shammah which means, "The Lord is There." Have you ever felt alone, abandoned, forsaken by everyone you know? Thankfully we have a Heavenly Father who will never do that to us. He is always present. This powerful truth is revealed when we learn about Jehovah Shammah. God doesn't only dwell in His heavenly Throne Room or His Temple, He dwells in you...each and every moment of each and every day. Listen and learn about the God that loves being with his sons and daughters.
Pastor Lynn continues our series on the names of God with an emphasis on Jehovah Tsidkenu--the Lord our Righteousness. We can not be made right without Jesus' work on the cross which gives us His righteousness. The philosophies of the world tell us that we are right in ourselves. The pride of humanity shouts "we don't need rescuing or saving!" The greatest barrier to salvation and walking in Christ's righteousness is the deception that we do not need saving and we do not need Christ's righteousness! The lie that we can do it on our own! But the truth is we do need saving and until we receive Christ we live in a broken, wicked existence. But scripture says our righteousness is like filthy rags, but His righteousness places us in right relationship with God so we can walk in freedom, healing, truth, blessing, and eternal life. Listen and learn about Jehovah God our Righteousness!
Pastor David continues our new series on the names of God with an emphasis on Jehovah M'Kaddesh--the God Who Makes You Holy!

Listen and be blessed by this encouraging word! 2020 is the year to grow deeper in your knowledge and experience of your Lord and Savior.
We begin a new sermon series on "The Names of God." Within the biblical text, God is identified by hundreds of names. These Names identify qualities and characteristics of our Heavenly Father. During the course of our sermons we will look at the various biblical names used to identify our Savior.
This week, Pastor David provides a scriptural introduction on why God's names are so powerful.
This is the final message on the "Give Me This Mountain" sermon series. Pastor Lynn shares the message "Take the Mountain! What' Stopping You?" God has done great things in our midst over the last few months and it is time for us to act through the power of the Holy Spirit on what He has spoken to our hearts.
Sunday after the Thirst Conference. Listen to testimonies from people to attended the Thirst Conference.
Champion!
Psalms 118:7, 13-17 (MSG) God's my strong champion; I flick off my enemies like flies. Far better to take refuge in God than trust in people; Far better to take refuge in God than trust in celebrities…13 I was right on the cliff-edge, ready to fall, when God grabbed and held me. God's my strength, he's also my song, and now he's my salvation. 15 Hear the shouts, hear the triumph songs in the camp of the saved? "The hand of God has turned the tide! 16 The hand of God is raised in victory! The hand of God has turned the tide!" 17 I didn't die. I lived! And now I'm telling the world what God did.

Pastor David has a word from the Lord for the church. The sermon is entitled, "Give Me Spiritual Passion!" As we begin a new year, this message will address and challenge all of us to seek the Lord with greater passion and intensity. God is such a good Father and He wants to bless each and everyone of His precious children. However, we all have a part to play in rekindling our spiritual passion and fervor for the things of the Lord.
Pastor Lynn shares a message entitled, "Give Me the Mountain of Decision for Spiritual Vision!" God has given us the power and freedom to make our own decisions. Many times our decisions are based upon what we see in the physical realm--and this leads us in the wrong direction with unfruitful consequences. Jesus came to give us spiritual eyes to see so that our decisions are based upon spiritual insight rather than physical sight. We can walk like Jesus walked when we decide to do things the way He did them--through spiritual insight. Listen and hear a significant message that will challenge you to make daily decisions embedded in spiritual insight.
Pastor David preaches a message entitled, "Give Me The New Thing!" With the turning of the calendar page and the New Year upon us, this message will challenge you to seek after the new things the Lord has for you in 2020.
The Holy Spirit wants to bless you with so many things. As you begin this New Year, ask for all that the Lord has for you!
This Sunday we continue our "Give Me This Mountain" series with the message, "The Holy Spirit In Missions!" God's desire is to reach the world with the Gospel. The message of Christmas is to proclaim the coming of the Messiah - the Sent One - who will save the world from their sins. As we enter the Christmas season, let us not forget the power of the Gospel to save those we love, live near, work with, and encounter on a daily basis.
Pastor David continues our "Give Me This Mountain" series with the message, "The Power of a Spirit Filled Community!" As Christians we walk out our calling in community. Churches often use the term fellowship to describe the interaction between brothers and sisters in Christ. However, far too often the fellowship of the church community does not impact believers with the power of God's Holy Spirit. This Sunday we look at how the Holy Spirit wishes to energize our lives as we gather together under His covering.
Pastor Lynn continues our series with the message, "Give Me The Mountain of Worship!" Worship is not merely about music or church services. It is about our response to the presence of God. People can stand or sit in a church service and sing songs and NOT worship. They can resist the Holy Spirit's presence and reject the encounter and transformation He desires for their lives. Worship is about our surrender, obedience, submission, and honor to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords! In a time when our culture advocates for us to worship our comfort zone, our pride, and our own selves, the Holy Spirit is leading us into new depths of worship to Him! This is when we experience the breath of God on our face! This is when there is an increase of His breath upon us, in us, and through us! You will be challenged through this word!
Pastor David speaks on "Give Me That Mountain of The Holy Spirit's Fire!" The message will be a testimonies of what the Holy Spirit did on this weeks Holy Spirit Baptism Retreat and how this is going to impact our congregation. The Holy Spirit empowerment will be both shared and taught from the Word of God.
Pastor Lynn speaks on "Give Me That Mountain of Division!" The enemy wants to stop the movement of the Holy Spirit through insidiously deceiving believers into a spirit of division. The enemy tried to stir division in the church in the book of Acts and he still tries to stir it up today particularly when God's children are advancing the Kingdom of God by taking back what the enemy has stolen! But we will not fall into the enemy's trap! Pastor Lynn addresses various seedbeds that create division. She also underscores how God hates division but rejoices in diversity and unity! Jesus said, "A house divided against itself cannot stand" (Mk. 3:25). He also prayed in John 17 that His followers would be one like Jesus is one with the Father and the Spirit.
Pastor David continues the series on "Give Me This Mountain!" He speaks on "Intimacy with the Holy Spirit!!" He shows us how the Holy Spirit wants to become close to every single believer and empower them to live a victorious life.
Pastor Lynn continues the series on "Give Me This Mountain: A Hardened Heart!" Our hearts can easily become hardened through our pride and pain. Sometimes we may not even be aware our hearts have grown hardened towards the Lord. When our heart is hard we do not let the Holy Spirit in to transform us. To be victorious, joyful, powerful, we need the Holy Spirit to fill us, transform us, and empower us! This requires a soft heart toward the Holy Spirit. This Sunday we are challenged to allow the Holy Spirit to touch areas of our hearts that may have become hardened due to life circumstances, disappointments, painful experiences or human pride. It's going to be an awesome time with the Lord as we submit to the Holy Spirit's work in our lives and gain even greater victory than ever before!
Pastor David continues the series on "Give Me This Mountain!" speaking on "Fear of Going Deeper with God!!" Far too many believers have a distorted view that getting closer to the Lord is a bad thing. How can getting close to the One who created you and the One who wants to bless you be a bad thing? Listen and learn that going deeper with God is the best thing that can ever happen to you!
Pastor Lynn continues the series on "Give Me This Mountain!" She speaks on "Defeating Deception in Your Life!" As we journey through life it is easy to stream the world's views and the enemy's presentations through a variety of portholes--this can tempt us to fall into deception. But the Holy Spirit is in us to lead and guide us into all truth. We have been empowered to take every thought captive and submit it to Christ Jesus! This Sunday we conquer the Mountain of Deception because Jesus came that we might have life and life abundantly (John 10:10). No more living in the shade or darkness that deception produces! It is time to arise and shine for the light has come! The glory of the Lord has risen upon you! (Isa. 60:1)
Pastor David continues our series on "Give Me This Mountain!" He speaks on "Defeating Shame in Your Life!" For far too long followers of Christ have lived under the burden of shame. Those who the Son has set free are free indeed. Come listen and hear a powerful word on breaking off shame in your life ---once and for all!
Pastor Lynn shares about Christ's sure victory for our lives. She hosts a time of testimonies and prayer that encourages us all to claim victory over mountains we face. This is a very special gathering. The Lord has divine appointments planned and He wants you to experience His power and hear His voice!
Pastor David resumes the sermon series "Give Me This Mountain!" The sermon title is "Give Me the Mountain of My Destiny!" We look at the challenge facing our divine destiny. God's Word clearly speaks about the destiny of the believer. This weekend we will look at what the Bible declares about our destiny and how we overcome hurdles preventing us from walking in our destiny.
We are blessed this weekend to have Dr. Sam Huddleston with us. Besides being a great friend to our pastors, Dr. Sam has served as the Assistant Superintendent of the Northern California and Nevada District Assemblies of God since 2004. He also served as the former founding pastor of Lighthouse Covenant Fellowship in Benicia, California, 1993-2004. The church began in the Huddleston's home with six families.
Graduating in 1980 from Bethany College in Santa Cruz, CA, Samuel and his wife Linda moved to San Rafael, California, where he attended Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary. Sensing a call to youth ministry, Sam accepted a position at Church on the Hill in Vallejo, California, where he served from 1981 to 1988 under Pastor Terry Inman. While there, Pastor Inman encouraged Samuel to further his education and he subsequently enrolled at Azusa Pacific University, eventually earning his Masters Degree in Marriage Family and Child Counseling.
That educational experience also helped Samuel to finally understand his troubled childhood and what had driven him years earlier as a reckless teenager to be involved in a crime that had cost him five years of his life in prison. While incarcerated, Samuel surrendered his life to Christ and learned about God’s unconditional love.
His autobiography, Five Years to Life (Perkins Publishing, 2013), has inspired people across America and throughout the world, giving them hope for a new beginning. Samuel has shared his testimony with thousands — including prison inmates — reminding them not only with words but also with his very presence, that God has the power to put broken lives and broken relationships back together again.
Before entering the pastorate in Benicia, Samuel was appointed as the Executive Director of a state wide non-profit organization under the auspices of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, which matched adult inmates and wards (youth) with outside volunteer visitors. Serving from 1989 to 1991, Samuel Huddleston remains the only former prisoner to ever lead a California Department of Corrections program. Later, Samuel returned to his Alma mater to serve as Dean of Students at Bethany College under Dr. Everett Wilson. In May 2006 Samuel received his Doctorate of Ministry degree from Regent University in Virginia Beach, VA. Samuel and Linda reside in Rancho Cordova, CA near their three married children: Royce, Andre, and Ericka. They have thirteen grandchildren.
Sermon: He is with you! Dr Sam speaks on Luke 24:13-33. On the road to Emmaus the disciples encounter Jesus.
We start the series on "Give Me This Mountain!"Pastor Lynn establishes the basis for this series with a study on the life of Caleb--the man who believe God could give Him this mountain! This powerful message will challenge you to have faith in the One who can conquer the mountains in your life!
We conclude the series on "Who Switched the Price Tags?".Pastor David shares a powerful message entitled, "Selfies or Selfless Living!" Despite living in a culture that prides itself in self-expression and selfishness, we are called to be servants of the Most High God. Jesus clearly addresses the need to seek first His Kingdom, not our own desires. Listen and be empowered by the Word of God on how we should live for Jesus!
Pastor Lynn continues the series on "Who Switched the Price Tags?, God's Word or Man's Word?".What do you do when the world says it's right and God's Word says it's wrong? One of the greatest challenges to believers is to turn a deaf ear to man's words and listen and guide our lives according to God's Word. As Christ followers we are called to be a supernatural people that walk according to God's voice, even when it contrasts to the advice of man. Listen and be challenged to listen to God's voice and live a life of supernatural faith!
We continue the series on "Who Switched the Price Tags? Popular or Passionate?" The Christian faith is about a passionate relationship with Jesus Christ. It is not about elite membership or special privileges we attain. Too many people have a mindset that the church is only for certain people or that it exists to meet their needs. The church is about Jesus Christ and His desire for His followers to fulfill the Great Commission.
Pastor Lynn preaches on how to fight life's battles with the weapons of God and not the weapons of man! We are tempted to gain victory through our own efforts or what humanity tells us to do. But true and lasting victory that overcomes the enemy comes through supernaturally empowered weapons given to us by the Holy Spirit! Come and learn how to fight your battles and win! Your inheritance is victory!
Do you have Peace? In light our recent events of hostility, how would you rate your peace? Listen to Rob Coffelt as he discusses how God has given us peace.
Pastor David continues our series on "Who Switched the Price Tags?" "Biblical Stewardship or Personal Priorities?" In a culture that is increasingly selfish, Christ followers need to understand how to steward what the Lord has placed in their hands...and this is not just money. This includes your time, gifts and talents, everything! Listen and learn some practical steps to aligning your personal priorities with Biblical stewardship.
Pastor Lynn continues our series on "Who Switched the Price Tags?" "Giving or Receiving?" In a culture that is increasingly selfish, we need to continue to have attitude checks about sustaining a spirit of giving. When we sacrificially give we are expressing the character of Jesus in our lives! As followers of Christ we have received abundantly and therefore should give extravagantly in variety of ways! Listen and be challenged about sustaining a spirit of giving in a world that says receiving is more valuable!
Pastor David continues our series on "Who Switched the Price Tags?" "From Purity to Perversion." While our world plunges into deeper darkness and perversion, true Christ followers are called to live a life of purity. Some believers think this is an impossible assignment, however Scripture clearly gives us instruction in living a victorious life.
Pastor Lynn continues our series on "Who Switched the Price Tags?" This week's message is entitled: "Life or Death?"
The world has an obsession with death--there has been a spiritual porthole that opened that tries to convince people death is their answer or death is their destiny. Depression has become a lifestyle that steals life. Hopelessness has become the common mentality rather than hope. Acts 2:24 tells us that through His resurrection Jesus came and defeated death because He could not be held in death's power! Death has been defeated! We now can live life abundantly! We are not called or destined to live in the realm of destruction or being stolen from in any way for Jesus came to restore and empower us! Pastor Lynn challenges us to recognize the areas of death that surround us and by faith stand on the work of the cross and believe for life abundantly in those areas! Listen and be transformed by the Word!
Pastor David continues our series on "Who Switched the Price Tags?" This week's message is entitled "Whose Image are Your Made In? Our Image or God's Image?" We face an ongoing battle with whose image we are made in. Christ followers have been divinely created to arise, take authority and claim our position as sons and daughters of the Most High God.
Pastor Lynn continues our series on "Who Switched the Price Tags?" This week's message is entitled "Spiritual Light or Spiritual Darkness?" The enemy has blinded the world through sin but Jesus came to heal our spiritual blindness so we can walk in the light! Christ's light dispels darkness in every area of our lives! Pastor Lynn challenges us to evaluate our spiritual eyesight by asking whether we are walking in the light in every area of our lives. It is easy to compromise and adapt to darkness even when you have experienced His light. We are called to bring His light to darkness and therefore we must walk with spiritual eyesight that loves His light!
Pastor David continues our series on "Who Switched the Price Tags." The message is entitled "The Power of People or the Power of Pentecost." This Sunday is Pentecost Sunday, a day celebrated on the seventh Sunday after Easter. Pentecost Sunday commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ while they were in Jerusalem celebrating the Feast of Weeks, as described in the Acts of the Apostles. The Holy Spirit was both promised and prophesied about in both the Old and New Testaments. This message will address the need of the Holy Spirit in the life of the 21st century believer.
Pastor Lynn continues our series on "Who Switched the Price Tags: The power of sin or the Power of God?" Many times as Christians we say that the power of God is greater in our lives but we live like the power of sin is greater. We act or talk like God can't rescue me from my sin! We can fall into the deception the world and the enemy feeds us that there are some sins, addictions, or problems that we simply can't have victory over. But Jesus' work defeated sin, death, and the curse. He gave us power to be overcomers no matter the problem, challenge or situation. Come and be challenged to live the powerful and abundant life Jesus paid for on the cross.
Pastor David addresses the topic - "Worship verses Entertainment!" Americans love entertainment and far too many churches and Christians would rather be entertained than entering into true worship. This message will challenge us in the understanding of what Scripture teaches about worship and its place in our lives and churches.
This Sunday we are be blessed by the ministry of Rev. Char Blair. Char is no stranger to Crossroads. She is currently serving as the Church Ministries Director of the Northern California-Nevada District Council of the Assemblies of God. Char is a passionate communicator of God's Word and a no-holds barred preacher. You will be blessed by her speaking.
Pastor Lynn speaks about "Who Switched the Price Tags: God's Love or the World's Love?" This world's definition and application of love falls short yet it persistently encourages people to follow its directions on how to love. Pastor Lynn speaks on the excellence of the love of God in our lives. How God's love provides us with everything we need to live an abundant and fruitful life!
Pastor David speaks about "Joy vs. Despair: Who Switched the Price Tags?" The Prophet Nehemiah tells us "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength." (Nehemiah 8:10)
If the Word of God declares that the joy of the Lord is our strength, why are so many Christians battling despair and depression? God wants his sons and daughters walking in the strength of His joy. Listen and learn the power of walking in the powerful spiritual joy God has for you.
As part of our Easter Sunday we will have Family Dedication Day. Families who have never had their children dedicated will have the opportunity to do so. Families who simply want to dedicate their family on this special day will also be participating!
Pastor David presents a wonderful Easter message.
Pastor David addresses the subject of Humility. In a culture of pride and arrogance, Christians need to walk in the same attitude of Jesus - one of living a humble life. As Christ followers, we are to imitate the life of Christ in all we do, even when we live in a culture that acts otherwise. Jesus is looking for a church filled with powerful men and women who walk in a spirit of humility. Listen and learn the power of walking in humility.
Pastor Lynn addresses the subject of Community and Accountability. Why do we gather together every Sunday? Why does the Lord want us to practice this discipline in our lives? Why can't we just check in and leave? Because we are to have RELATIONSHIP with one another. As followers of Christ we are part of the Body of Christ and we are to live in harmony with one another and in accountability to one another. This can be a hard thing! It requires investment and change. Be challenged to live in healthy and authentic community and accountability!
Pastor David addresses the concept of generosity! NO! This is not another money sermon, but rather a message about how our relationship with Christ should transform believers into the most gracious and generous people. The Scriptures are full of passages addressing this topic and you will hear a powerful word about how we should live our lives!
Pastor Lynn addresses the subject of Devotion. Jesus is devoted to us. He gave His life and opened up the riches of heaven for us. But are we devoted to Him despite life's pressures? In a culture that discards commitments quickly and sways with popular trends, the quality of devotion is paramount to being a muscle Christian. Listen and be challenged to be a devoted follower of Christ!
Pastor David addresses the subject of Perseverance - having an attitude of not giving up.
1 Timothy 2:13-14 tells us to "hold on to the pattern of sound teaching" and to "guard the treasure entrusted to us with the help of the Holy Spirit."
As Christ followers, we are called to stay close to Jesus and never give up, because He is on our side.
Submission is a painful topic in a broken world and yet the Bible directs followers of Christ to have a submissive attitude in their life and relationships. In a world filled with abuse, what is biblical submission and how is this attitude and action applied in a healthy, Christ-honoring way? To be a muscle Christian that walks in power and authority submission is necessary, even vital.
Pastor Lynn speaks on submission--which is the gateway to authority that Jesus purchased for us on the cross.
As Christ followers, we are called to take up our cross and follow Him! Not a popular statement in our world of snowflakes. Nevertheless, Christians are called to mature and grow into Christlikeness. Our new sermon series will address seven key characteristics for making us muscle Christians. If our faith community is to be a muscle church, we need muscle Christians. If we all mature in our faith, the words of the Apostle Paul to young Timothy will ring just as true today as they did when penned centuries ago: "What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus" (2 Timothy 1:13). It was the Apostle Paul who also told the young Corinthian church, "Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ." 1 Corinthians 1:11. As muscle Christians, it is our goal for people to be able to follow our example in both our life and doctrine.
Listen and be challenged to deepen your faith by "Doing Hard Things!"
India Missions Team reports on the ministry in India and Nepal during the past three weeks. The team is excited to tell all that the Lord did through their work together. The team knows that they could not do it without your prayers and support. Listen to the great things the Lord has done and the blessing we all share for taking the Gospel to India and Nepal.

Pastor David continues our series on "Confronting The Lies We Believe." This Sunday we address the lie that "Christians are Brainwashed." The Bible teaches us that as Christ followers, we have a renewed mind. Why do we need a renewed mind? How do we get a renewed mind? Listen to this Sunday's message and be blessed by this powerful word!
Pastor Lynn continues the Thirst Conference emphasis theme that God has GREATER things for us in 2019! The glory of the present house shall be greater than the former house (Haggai 2:9). This is His command! The Lord wants to fill you with His glory and set you on the pathway to GREATER in Him!

Pastor David confronts the lie: "You Only Live Once!" You have heard the popular slogan YOLO! The truth is as a Christ follower you live more than once. Come and hear a message of the power of your second life and learn how to live an overcoming life not just in your future, but in your present life.
Pastor David confronts the lie: "Go Big or Go Home!" Far too many people want to have a big name, a big career, a big testimony, a big ministry, a big whatever, etc... But the Bible gives us some clear words about not despising small beginnings. Hear a word on the power of embracing small things for the Kingdom and see how your life can be changed.
Pastor Lynn confronts the lie we believe: "I'm Not Responsible!" So what are we responsible for anyway? Isn't everything God's responsibility? Doesn't He do it all for me? Or is there some responsibility I must assume in order for change to happen in my life? At the launch of 2019, let us examine how we partner with God for change in our lives! This will be a challenging message for you to hear as our Daniel Fast begins.
Pastor David confronts the lie: "I'm the Exception, Not the Rule!" Far too many times people make decisions on the faulty logic and presupposition that they are different than everyone else. The reality is the rules are there for a reason and none of us are an exception.
Scripture gives us rules to live by and the benefits of living by those rules. Come and hear the power of living within God's rules.
Pastor Lynn confronts the lie: "It's Too Late!!!!" Many times people tell themselves that it is too late for God's promise to come to pass in their lives. They believe too much time has passed, they've failed too many times, or they're too old for the new thing God has for them! But that's a lie! It's never too late for God to show up and intervene in our lives. This Sunday we challenge the lie that "It's too late!" For with God ALL things are possible!
Pastor David confronts the lie: "Children Cannot Be Spiritual!!!!" Far too many Christians underestimate the power of a child's or youth's faith. Pastor David shares a powerful message on the importance of nurturing the faith of young men and women in our lives.
Pastor Lynn confronts the lie: "Some Things God Cannot Heal!" Can God heal every sickness and disease that comes against us? Because it does not have answers, our culture has normalized sickness, disease, and overall unhealthiness in mind, body, soul and spirit. As a result many have come to believe it is normal, a badge of honor, or it is their purpose and destiny. As Christ-followers have we embraced this mindset as we encounter these challenges in our lives and in the lives of others? Further, have we camped in the land of Nazareth--the only place that Jesus could not heal due to unbelief? Be challenged to believe that He heals all sicknesses and diseases and that we are His vessels to carry out this commitment to humanity.
Pastor David confronts the lie: "It's my money and I can do what I want with it!" The Bible speaks about money more than you think. The teaching of Scripture is very clear on how we are to use our finances as a believer. As Christmas approaches and we are blitzed with advertising about "what you cannot live without," this message will share insights on biblical stewardship and our role with handling our finances.
Pastor Lynn confronts the lie: "Just Give Up!" Our culture around us cultivates instant gratification which is the enemy of perseverance. Further, the enemy wants you to give up on the promises and dreams God has given to you! It is time to confront this lie and outlast the enemy because there are wonderful things in store for those who persevere!
Pastor David addresses the lie: "God is Not Good!" So many times people want to identify God as being anything but good. The fact is God is the source of all goodness. Come and hear a great word about the goodness of our God!
The lie: "Thankfulness is Over Rated!" (Pastor David) 11/18/2018 - Far too many people live an unthankful life and/or a pessimistic life. This message will address the Biblical and emotional issues surrounding a thankful heart.
Pastor David Willis addresses the lie: "If God blesses you, He can't bless me!" How many times have you heard this or perhaps thought it? Far too many times we believe that God is limited in His ability to meet our needs if He is meeting someone else's needs. Listen and be challenged with the truth of God's Word about Jehovah Jireh - The God who provides. Learn what Scripture teaches about our Abundant God!!!!!
The lie, "Purity is Pointless" (Pastor Lynn Willis) is confronted by Pastor Lynn Willis. The world says there is no benefit to purity--they say living a pure life prevents freedom of expression. Behind this belief system is a bold faced lie from the enemy that creates bondage in lives of people and destroys their God given power and authority. Hear how purity is not pointless but actually powerful.
