2024-11-2559 minCross Points PodcastNovember 17, 2024: Missions - A Biblical Theology of MissionToday’s message is a powerful reminder of God’s unfolding story—a story that began in Genesis and continues until the return of Jesus. Bob Mendelsohn takes us on a journey through Scripture, highlighting God’s heart for the nations and His call for each of us to participate in His mission.

2024-10-301h 00Cross Points PodcastOctober 20, 2024: Go & Tell - Super SundayThis Sunday was Super Sunday, filled with baptisms, parent-child dedications, and a great sermon from Pastor David!
Pastor David dives deep into one of the most pivotal questions Jesus asked His disciples: "Who do you say that I am?" In a world where everyone seems to be searching for something – fulfillment, security, or purpose – Jesus invites us to consider where we truly find those answers. As we close out the story of Peter, a fisherman with doubts who eventually declared Jesus as the Messiah, we discover a path for anyone who’s searching, questioning, or yearning to experience God person...

Whether you're facing a personal storm or simply seeking to know more about who Jesus is, this message will encourage you to step out of your comfort zone and trust the One who walks with you through it all.

2024-10-2237 minCross Points PodcastOctober 13, 2024: Go & Tell - Nothing But NetThis Sunday we have an exciting new sermon series, diving into the life of Peter and his transformation as a follower of Jesus Christ. Peter’s journey from a simple fisherman to a bold disciple mirrors the calling God places on each of us today.
Pastor David explores Peter’s encounter with Jesus in Luke 5, where a miraculous catch of fish leads to a moment that changes Peter’s life forever. We’ll reflect on three key elements: the nets, the deeper waters, and the call to follow. Jesus invites Peter—and us—to leave behind our empty nets, step into de...
2024-10-1445 minCross Points PodcastSeptember 22: Jonah - Never Too FarIn this message, Pastor David unpacks the story of Jonah—a prophet running from God’s call to preach repentance to an enemy state, much like the conflicts we see today: Israel to Palestine, Ukraine to Russia. Jonah’s refusal to obey God leads to chaos in his life. Are you running from God, too? Whether it's holding grudges, avoiding reconciliation, or running from forgiveness, many of us find ourselves in storms of chaos.
Drawing from personal stories, including the tragic tale of actor Matthew Perry and his struggle with addiction, Pastor David illustrates how we often try to fill s...
2024-09-2438 minCross Points PodcastSeptember 15: Jonah - Chaos and ConsequencesIn this first sermon of a four-part series on the book of Jonah, Pastor Andy dives into Jonah 1 and examines how Jonah, far from being a traditional biblical hero, is actually an anti-hero—complex, flawed, and running from God.
Jonah's story pushes us to question our own disobedience and its consequences. Why do we run from God's call? How does running create chaos not only in our lives but in the lives of others? Yet, amidst our failures, God always provides hope and a second chance, as we see with Jonah’s miraculous encounter with the great fish.

With insights from Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Life Together and Brené Brown's research on vulnerability, we are reminded that true community is built not on convenience but on the shared commitment to walk in the light of Christ. Through meeting together, confessing sins, and bearing one another’s burdens, we fulfill the law of Christ and experience the beauty of God’s grace.

We explore Hebrews 10:23-25 and the story of Paul and Barnabas from Acts 15:36-41 to uncover how conflict within relationships, much like the process of refining diamonds, can strengthen and polish us.
Just like diamonds go through cleaving, bruting, and polishing to shine, our relationships in the church can experience tension and conflict that, when handled with grace, make us better. Don’t let the fear of conflict keep you from joining a small gr...

He explores the increasing digital connectivity over the past few years and the decline of meaningful spiritual relationships that truly matter.
Based on Hebrews 10:23-25, we are reminded to hold tightly to the hope we have in Christ and to motivate one another toward love and good deeds. It's time to wake up and recognize the dangers of digital distractions that can derail...

Inspired by Jeremiah 29:13, the sermon outlines a four-step, hour-long "spiritual workout" designed to create an atmosphere of worship through praise, clear the path for intimacy with God through confession, shift focus from needs to provision through thanksgiving, and align hearts with God's Word through praying Scripture. Just as a marathon runner needs a training schedule, this sermon encourages a disciplined approach to seeking God, leading to...
