Crossroads Church

What’s keeping you from a better life? For most of us, the answer isn’t our job, our finances, or anything like that. What’s really holding us back...is fear. Fear of the unknown. Fear of risk, of failure, of rejection. But the better life that God made us for is waiting on the other side of that fear. Join us today as Kyle talks about how to embrace risk and find a better life.  

"Will my life ever get easier?” We’ve all asked that question while stuck neck-deep in whatever struggle we’re facing this week. It’s hard to know what to do, hard to make progress, and hard to feel like God even cares. Yet in the midst of our struggle, God wants us to know two things: that we will make it through, and that we will be better on the other side. Join us today as Alli talks about how we can find hope and direction no matter the struggle

Freedom. All our lives we've been told that freedom means being unrestrained—no rules, no limits. Trouble is, we've chased that freedom, and found only fear and isolation. In reality, freedom isn't really about restraints. It's about meaning. This weekend, professional horse trainer Todd Pierce is going to show us—through the eyes of an untamed horse—what it looks like to leave behind our wildness and embrace the freedom that a loving God offers.

When you hear the word “justice”, the idea of mercy doesn’t usually follow. After all, those two are polar opposites, right? Surprisingly enough, God says that they’re more related than we think. Join us this week as Chuck Mingo and Brian Stevenson teach us what it takes to walk humbly.

Unity and diversity. These days, those two words are almost guaranteed to start a fight. If we can’t even talk about words, then how on earth are we supposed to get along with other people? Turns out that God has some answer for us—join us today as Chuck helps us unpack a different way to move forward.

One glance, and instantly we make judgments about one another. No matter who you are or where you come from, you have been conditioned to believe certain things about yourself, about the people around you, and probably about God. No wonder making progress on our tension with race is such a struggle. God wants real reconciliation for us—join us today as Brian talks about what it takes to move in that direction.

What does it look like to run hard and chase after a life of purpose? We are called to make aggressive decisions that fuel life change, go after people in our community,  and break out of our comfort zone to meet God. Join us this week and look at the past 25 years to see all the great work God has done through us and where he is calling us to next.

What do you value? The things that matter most to you will be the things that define your life. When we’re gone, those values will be our legacy—what is left behind for the generations that come behind you. But many of us never stop to give those values a second thought. Today Kyle talks about the legacy we leave behind and why it matters.

Worried about money? You’re not alone. No matter how much or little we make, most of us are consumed with worry about money—how we’re going to make ends meet, how we’re going to achieve our goals, and so on. The reality is that relieving our money stress has very little to do with how much we make, and everything to do with how much margin we have. Join us today as Brian talks about why margin matters and how to get more of it.

“If I only had a little bit more.” It’s the promise every ad makes, right? Just buy this one more thing, and then you’ll be happy. A new coffeemaker, a better job, a nicer car, a bigger house—they all make the same promise, and they never deliver. We’re just as unhappy as we were before. But what if God never meant for us to find financial happiness and freedom in getting more stuff? Join us today as Kyle talks about the path to real, guaranteed financial freedom.

Do you ever wonder why we work? Believe it or not, earning money is a good thing. But many of us have never stopped to consider why we earn, so we have no idea why we should spend, save, or even give. Join us today as Chuck talks about why making money is a good thing that God uses to grow and bless us.

How do you feel about money? If you’re like most of us, the answer isn’t flattering. We feel weighed down, trapped, confused, or outright overwhelmed. The fact is that money has a powerful effect on us—and God wants something better for us than the fear and doubt most of us live with. Join us today as Brian talks about how God’s money goal for us is freedom.

“Will it ever end?” That’s the real question of our hard times, isn’t it? We want healing for the pain, answers for the questions, relief from the isolation—but when will it get here? It’s easy to feel like we’ll be stuck in the desert forever. Yet God says that he will not abandon us; join us today as Alli talks about how to have the endurance to last through hard times. 

Pandemics. Politics. Job Loss. Isolation. Our stories are different, but none of us has come through the past year unscathed. But the good news is that Easter is the ultimate story of God’s power showing up in our moments of crisis, doubt, uncertainty, and fear. No matter where you are, the story of Easter means that God wants to bring you hope and new life.

All of us have been stuck in the desert of life—paralyzed by guilt and shame, afraid to make a move to something new. No matter how stranded we may feel, God has something better for us. Join us today as Chuck talks about how God wants to give us the courage to move.

You’re stuck in the desert. Not the dust and tumbleweeds kind, but the lonely, stuck, “my life isn’t going where I wanted” kind. Just like a real desert, it’s easy to get stranded in this sort of life, and if you don’t find a way out, it will kill you. But God wants to give you a way out—join us today as Brian talks about how we can have the strength to stand in hard times.

“What should I do with my life?” We want meaning and direction. But here we are—stuck in a dead-end career, wading through the latest batch of Facebook clickbait in search of something better. Yet God made us for more than this regret treadmill. Join us this week as Brian shows us how to find our real calling in life.

Fear is our instinctual response to the unknown. The bump in the dark, the bad diagnosis, the life threatening event. Yet for many of us, fear has become a liar, holding us back from the joyous life God has for us. Join us today as Brian teaches us how to overcome fear.

“Build your personal brand.” “Perfect your image.” “Like, share, and subscribe!” We live in a world driven by the fake versions of ourselves we present to the world. We don’t want others to see our flaws, faults, or mistakes, so we put on a pride-fueled show to make it look like we’ve got our crap together. The good news is that there is a cure—join us today as Chuck talks about how humility is the path out of the endless trap of pride

We’ve all heard the voice of shame. “You’ll never be good enough.” “You’re a fraud.” “They’ll never forgive you.” That voice wants to keep us paralyzed and passive for life—if we let it. Yet God offers a way out. Today Alli talks about how to walk away from the toxic voice of shame and into the freedom that God offers.
