    2 Timothy 2:2 - In this message, the pastor emphasizes that the church’s mission is grounded in the Great Commandment and the Great Commission — to love God, love others, and make disciples who make disciples. He contrasts a consumer model of church with Jesus’ organic, relational model of training and reproducing disciples through teaching, tasking, and accountability.

    Hebrews 10:24-25 - This message is part of our series called All Hands on Deck. This series will walk us through the culture of Crosswinds by focusing on our seven culture points. message emphasizes that encouragement is vital to the mission of the church—it is an intentional, Spirit-led practice that builds others up, spurs them toward love and good works, and aligns the church as a unified crew on mission for Jesus

  • Rekindling our first love

    28/12/2025 Duration: 33min

    Revelation 2:1-7 - The message highlights how the church in Ephesus faithfully served Christ with hard work, doctrinal purity, and endurance, yet lost the passionate love they once had for Jesus.

  • Grace Incarnate

    21/12/2025 Duration: 44min

    John 1:15-18 - The message teaches that Jesus Christ embodies both unmerited grace and absolute truth — not as mere ideas but as the living Word who became flesh.

  • Flesh

    14/12/2025 Duration: 39min

    John 1:11-14 - The incarnation — the Word becoming flesh — reveals God’s astounding love, His willingness to dwell with humanity, and His provision of salvation through Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. Jesus’ coming in the flesh makes possible our adoption into God’s family, offering eternal life and transforming our identity and purpose in Him.

  • True Light

    07/12/2025 Duration: 44min

    John 1:5-8 - This message emphasizes that Jesus Christ is the true light of the world — not a temporary or symbolic light, but a living, eternal light that continues to shine in the darkness.

  • The Word was God

    30/11/2025 Duration: 47min

    John 1:1-3 - The sermon proclaims that “the Word” in John 1 — the Logos — is not an impersonal force but the eternal, divine, personal agent through whom all creation came into being. It asserts that Jesus (the Logos) predates creation, sustains all life, and brings light and purpose to humanity.

  • Exploring why bad things happen to good people

    23/11/2025 Duration: 37min

    Exodus 20:1-21 - This message addresses the age-old question: Why do bad things happen to good people? Suffering and hardship are not always a result of personal sin — but often a byproduct of living in a fallen world, spiritual warfare, the refining work of God, or simply the mystery of His sovereign plans. Like Job, Christians are called to respond not with anger or despair, but with worship, trust, perseverance, and reliance on God.

  • Budget for following Christ

    16/11/2025 Duration: 01h01min

    Luke 14:25-33 - In this message we are invited to reframe what “budget” means in the life of a follower of Jesus Christ: it’s not just about money, but about giving of our time, talents, priorities and resources in such a way that follows His economy. We are challenged to count the cost, allocate wisely, and trust that when we surrender, God supplies more than we think.

  • Scandalous Grace

    09/11/2025 Duration: 48min

    Jonah 4:5-11 - This message reminds us that God’s grace is often scandalous to us because He gives it freely to those we think are undeserving — including us. Like Jonah, we can become angry when God’s mercy doesn’t align with our sense of justice or comfort. God lovingly appoints both blessings and hardships to shape our hearts toward His mission: to show grace to a broken world.

  • Do you do well?

    02/11/2025 Duration: 43min

    Jonah 4:1-4 - God asks Jonah a heart-checking question: “Do you do well to be angry?” Jonah knew God’s grace for himself, but he resented that same grace when it was shown to his enemies. This message challenges us to process anger with God, let go of bitterness, and reflect God’s compassionate heart toward everyone.

  • Great Humble King

    26/10/2025 Duration: 44min

    - In this message we explore how humility before God brings transformation and mercy. Using the example of the King of Nineveh in Jonah 3, we look at the contrasts between worldly power and pride with the humility of Christ—the ultimate King who gave up His glory to serve and save.

  • Believing God

    19/10/2025 Duration: 46min

    Jonah 3:1-5 - This message challenges believers to move beyond merely believing in God to truly believing God — trusting His Word, nature, and promises.

  • A faith as big as….

    12/10/2025 Duration: 41min

    John 20:24-29 -

  • Grace from the Pit

    05/10/2025 Duration: 17min

    Jonah 2:1-6 - “Grace from the Pit” reminds us that God often meets us in our lowest moments to redeem and restore us. Jonah’s time in the belly of the fish wasn’t punishment but a rescue — a place where brokenness met grace.

  • Swallowed by Grace

    28/09/2025 Duration: 40min

    Jonah 1:10-17 - Though Jonah ran from God’s call because he feared that God would be merciful to Israel’s enemies, God intervenes through a supernatural storm and a great fish in order to redirect Jonah and preserve his mission. The central point: we can be “swallowed up” by God’s grace—He will pursue us, save us, and send us back out to proclaim mercy, even when we resist.

  • Arise and Go

    21/09/2025 Duration: 45min

    Jonah 1:5-10 - God often sends storms into our lives not simply to punish, but to awaken us, redirect us, and draw us back into His purposes. Jonah tried to run away, avoided facing God’s call, and in doing so created a bigger problem—not just for himself, but for others around him. Yet God’s purposes persist, and even through disobedience, He pursues, disciplines, invites us to “arise,” repent, and take up what He has for us.

  • Storms of Disobedience

    14/09/2025 Duration: 38min

    Jonah 1:1-4 - This sermon introduces Jonah chapter 1, emphasizing that Jonah’s flight from God’s command incurs “stormy seas” — turmoil and brokenness — because disobedience always brings consequences. Yet even in Jonah’s rebellion, God’s mercy pursues him: God sends storms, intervenes, and ultimately provides a way back.

  • Exploring what it means to be doers of the Word

    07/09/2025 Duration: 28min

    James 1:19-27 - In this message we are reminded that being doers of the Word means living out our faith in obedience, not just hearing Scripture. James 1 calls us to be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger, and to let God’s Word transform our actions. True faith shows itself through bridling the tongue, serving those in need, and living distinctly from the world.

  • When Jesus hits send

    31/08/2025 Duration: 40min

    Luke 24:45-53 - Jesus “hits send” on His followers—ordinary, unpolished people—and commissions them to proclaim repentance and forgiveness of sins to all nations. He empowers them through the Holy Spirit, opening their understanding of Scripture so they grasp God’s redemptive mission. The message challenges believers to embrace their missionary identity now, trusting in God’s power rather than human adequacy.
