The Standard of True Freedom
Romans 5:1-11
I.(1-5) “True Freedom’s Focus”
II.(6-8) “True Freedom’s Fundamentals”
III.(9-11) “True Freedom’s Force”

“Fundamentals of a Faithful Mother”
Luke 1: 5-7, 39-45, 57-66
I. (5-7) “The Walk of a Faithful Mother”
II. (39-45) “The Warmth of a Faithful Mother”
III. (57-66) “The Witness of a Faithful Mother”

Sermon Series – “Profound Truth in Jesus’ Parables” (Part 2)
“More than Me”
Luke 18:9-14
I. (9-10) “The Point of Principle”
II. (11-12) “The Point of Peril”
III. (13-14) “The Point of Power”
As most every believer knows that now more than ever the world needs the truth. Truth can be elusive to some and profound to others, this depends primarily upon the condition of the heart of the one who hears the truth. This in a sense is why Jesus often spoke in parables.
We are told that if we will work hard at everything, we will achieve all that we need. In a sense, this statement is true, hard work does have its rewards. However, when it comes to Salvation, we must understand that even our greatest effort will fall very short of the requirement. Today we are going to explore the truth that Salvation consists of more than you and me!
Sermon Series – “Profound Truth in Jesus’ Parables”
“Conveying the Truth of the Gospel”
Matthew 13: 1-23
I. (1-9) “The Reach of the Truth”
II. (10-15) “The Realization of the Truth”
III. (16-23) “The Revealing of the Truth”
As most every believer knows that now more than ever the world needs the truth. Truth can be elusive to some and profound to others, this depends primarily upon the condition of the heart of the one who hears the truth. This in a sense is why Jesus often spoke in parables. For the next few weeks, we are going to examine some of those short stories that He taught and hopefully gain a better understanding of their importance and impact in our lives.
This morning we are going to investigate the most important truth that we will ever gain in this life, the Gospel. It is the life-giving and life-changing message of Jesus Christ. Yet for some, it is only a fable or legend, for others it is something that they just casually believe in when needed, and for some it seems to be the most practical thing to do. However, there are those among us that have fully received the Word and its truth has changed us forever!
“Addressing Our Anxieties”
“What Just Happened?”
Acts 1:1-8
1. (1-3) “Understanding the Author”
2. (4-5) “Understanding the Anticipation”
3. (6-8) “Understanding the Assignment”
At some point in all of our lives we must each deal with anxieties. We should however, learn positive ways to deal with this sometimes-problematic feeling. To put this into context with the today’s Scripture, anxiety is an emotion that is a result of a long expected event. Today’s sermon’s, “What Just Happened”, and “What is Next” is a look into how the early church handled their dilemma of anxiety, and how they channeled it into excitement with the providential help of God’s Word.
This morning we are going to examine the fact that life has many twists and turns to it, as most of us are aware. Things happen that we just do not understand no matter how hard we try! Yet amidst the struggle of wondering “What Just Happened”, there are certain truths that can give us the understanding and direction we need to anchor us during these struggling moments.
HAPPY EASTER from Crossroads!
(Sermon Series) – “God’s Perfect Plan Revealed” (Part 5)
God’s Plan Perfected, the Gospel
1 Corinthians 15: 1-8, 12-34, 50-58
Today we are going to examine the awesome claims that Christianity makes about Jesus Christ. About the claims that after His death and burial, God raised Him up! These are the claims that we Christians call the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Is it real? Or, is it just a legend? That, my friend, is a decision that every one of us will have to decide, with the weight of eternity in the balance!
We would be delighted to see YOU at Crossroads for one of our Easter events!
We hope YOU will be able to join us for one or more of these special times as we focus on the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Thanks so much for considering CROSSROADS!
