It is with great excitement for me personally as a Christian to anticipate the celebration of Easter Sunday here in just a few short weeks.

As a lot of you know, Easter Sunday is huge to a Believer simply because it marks the most important event in the history of man. One way to look at is that it is the Sunday of all Sundays! One might ask, why do you see it that way? Well, for one simple reason, He is Alive! Indeed, it is true Jesus Christ did rise from the grave victoriously! That is why Easter Sunday (and technically every Sunday) is so important to humankind. It is the fact that the grave could not hold Him, just as He said it couldn’t.

As I said a moment ago, most of you know that truth. However, one of the things that has intrigued me over the course of my Christian walk is the fact that God had all this planned before the actual event of Jesus here on earth in human flesh took place! Can you believe that? It is amazing for me to consider the fact that God had a perfect plan for us even before us, our parents, or even our first parents Adam and Eve came along.

To spare you a lot of theological detail, I will say this, the event of the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord was in the heart of God even before Genesis chapter one. WOW! Prove it, Pastor. Ok. Look for just a moment at I Peter 1:18-20. The Bible says this, “Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers. But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you”. That is pretty awesome stuff for anybody to try to wrap his or her mind around.

In addition, I am excited that the Holy Spirit has given me a series of sermons around this subject namely, “God’s Perfect Plan Revealed”. I am excited to get to share some of the deeper truths of this subject starting this Sunday morning at Crossroads and the ones following, with a conclusion on Easter Sunday. Within these messages I hope to convey several things but I pray most of all that those who hear them will acquire an understanding of just how important each of us are to our Father in Heaven. So important that He saw fit to make a perfect plan for such an un-perfect people as us, even before we would need it. Of course, the pinnacle of His perfect plan for us was to give His Son to die for our sins, and that by His resurrection we may have life eternally. Such an important thing to know and to look into.

See You Soon!

In Christ,

Pastor Dean Bradford

Greetings in the Wonderful name of our Lord Jesus Christ! I am Dean Bradford, Pastor of Crossroads Baptist Church. I want to extend a warm invitation to each of you to come by and visit us here at Crossroads. It is our desire at Crossroads to be about God’s program of ministering to souls in a loving and caring way for God’s Glory. If you do not have a home church, or if you are looking for a church, then check us out! Hey, you never know what you may be missing! In addition, we have a very special Guest that meets with us every Sunday that you may know or be interested in. His name is Jesus Christ, and He is who< we are all about!

“Little Ole Me” (Luke 19:1-9)

I. (1-3) “Sinners Still Seek Him”

II. (4-7) “Sinners Still Find Him”

III. (8-9) “Sinners are Still Converted Through Him”

It is possible that often times we each experience a feeling of being unworthy because of maybe a condition or a sin. The story of Zacchaeus teaches us that no matter what, Jesus Christ wants us, and is interested in us!

The Friend of a Sinner

Luke 18:35-43

1. The Seeking Sinner (35-39)
2. The Compassionate Christ (40-42)
3. The Faithful Friend (43)

Have you ever been in one of those situations of life that the thought of helplessness had complete control of your thinking, and outlook?  A situation that you might think, that nobody understands, or even cares?  Well in today’s sermon, we are going to look at a story of a man that was in this condition.  However, all that changed when the Master came near!

Services cancelled due to inclement weather.  See you Sunday!

Today’s sermon is intended to stress the importance and impact of our Christian character, both as our witness and our defense. There are two beings that know our true character, one is God, and the other is ourselves. Is your “Christian Character” solid enough to endure the test of truth?
