Crossroads Church

A preaching competition that turns a church service into a spectator sport. The biggest preach-off in the USA is more than just funny commercials, music off the decibel scale, and smack-talk. 

“I don’t belong.” No matter who you are or where you come from, we’ve all felt like an outsider. However, this is a critical part of Jesus' story—how he consistently pushed against the powers and rules keeping us separated from the hope God wants for us. Today Kyle talks about how Jesus rewrote those rules so that outsiders like you and me could have a seat at the table.

Some rules are good. After all, things like “don’t kill” or “don’t steal” are pretty important. But religion is crammed full of other rules too; rules that divide us, rules that make us feel we’re not good enough, rules that keep us stuck in doubt and fear. Fortunately, Jesus didn’t have any patience for these man-made religious rules. Today Brian talks about finding freedom on the far side of religious rules.

You want to be a good person. Me too. Trouble is, the typical route to that is rules: “Do this. Don’t do that. DEFINITELY don’t do that.” We’re drowning in rules...and it isn’t even working. Fortunately, God knew we couldn’t keep up—that’s why he sent Jesus. Today Chuck talks about how Jesus’ ability to follow the rules covers the fact that we can’t

New year, same crap, right? Already the bright hopes of a new year have crashed into the ongoing dumpster fire reality we’re still facing.

Today Brian gives us some practical tips for how to navigate the desert seasons of life.

It’s 2021, and we’re all ready for something new. Trouble is that all of the “new” paths that we take every January always seem to lead back to the same old disappointments and frustrations. Maybe in order to get somewhere new in life, we’ve got to get ourselves on an old path. Today, Brian talks to us about how we can find life in the ancient path that God offers us

“All you do is just take, take, take.” Ever felt that? Maybe you’ve said to an ex, wanted to say it to a boss, or feel like that's just how life is. It’s true though—the authorities and powers of the world we live in are built around what they can take. Yet according to the Bible, Jesus came to be a very different sort of Lord—one that gives and restores. Join us today as Kyle talks about how Jesus came to be a Lord that restores us.

Have you ever wondered why we have Christmas trees? After all, putting a tree in your house and decorating it is a bit...weird. Turns out that Christmas trees tell an important part of the Christmas story—in fact, they connect us to Jesus himself. Join us today as Brian talks about Christmas trees, lambs (yup, they’re in there too), and the sacrifice of Jesus.

“Not now, Christmas. Read the room—seriously.” Anybody else feel like this year has been too painful, too hopeless, too dark to really consider celebrating anything? Yeah, us too. Yet the story of Christmas is that no situation is beyond God’s reach; nothing is too dark that his light cannot breakthrough. Join us today as Alli talks about the light that Christmas means.
