Have you ever believed something only to find out later, it wasn’t actually true? It probably made you ask How did I get fooled? All too often, our perspective is impacted in ways we don’t even notice. Jesus often taught his followers to get beyond their assumptions…to challenge what they thought they knew, in order to see what he had for them. In this series, we’ll do just that by exploring five subtle perspectives that just might be fooling us. Recorded live at CrossWinds Church on Feb 25th, 2024

“Things are tight right now.” This thought rings true for many of us, now more than ever. With the added tension of increased costs and economic uncertainty, it’s no wonder we’re squeezed. Did you know this very tangible problem has a very spiritual impact? And more…this unavoidable pressure can actually catalyze us toward some life-giving patterns that increase our trust, even when times are tight. Join us in the nitty gritty of living abundantly, even when things are scarce as we begin a new series: Gas, Groceries and Grace - Trusting God in Tight Times.

"Seize the day." Maybe you've heard this said by a parent or a guidance counselor. Maybe you saw it on a motivational poster or heard it in a movie. Certain moments in life demand that you take action now or you'll miss the opportunity ahead of you. But how do we discern when to stay put and when to venture out? What does it take to navigate our next steps with timing that's just right? As we begin the New Year, join us for our series "Now. Here. This." where we'll learn together about the powerful gift of NOW. Recorded live at CrossWinds Church on Jan 21st, 2024

When we’re young, we’re warned against asking too many questions. We’re told that it’s annoying; that it can even be intrusive. Some of us were even warned that “curiosity killed the cat.” But as we get older, our questions don’t go away. And the big questions? The ones about life, about purpose, about God? They only get bigger…and the answers get more elusive. But the truth is, curiosity is good. We were made to explore, to want to know more about the world around us…and even the God who created it all. Over the course of this series, we’ll create intentional space to ask those hard questions and discover answers through exploration. When we ask the hard questions (and don’t shy away from the answers) we find new realizations that have the potential to transform us. Join us this Sunday as we begin exploring God together!

You wake up at 3am and can’t fall back asleep...again. You wonder what’s keeping you up. Is it something you ate? Is it the snoring of the person next to you? Or is it something on your mind that’s keeping the sleep away? Our anxieties don’t go to sleep when the day is over. In fact, they amplify. Our worries about finances, family, and other assorted plotlines keep our eyes open and our minds racing. It’s all very soul-wearying. But what if you knew some truths about God and you that would help you fall back to sleep? In this series, we’ll look at six things keeping us up at night and how God wants to help put those thoughts to bed and soothe your sleepless soul.

While many of us desire to have a deeper connection with God, that has not always been our experience. In fact, we often find ourselves in circumstances that lead us away from feeling connected to God. And our tendency is to grow silent as we try to escape the unwanted and find God again. But, what if those very places are where God can be found? What if you could raise your voice in the midst of what you’re experiencing and receive what God has for you? Each week in this series we’ll identify a way that one small shift can restore your connection to God.

Have you ever felt left out? We've all been there in our relationships with others here on Earth. Luckily God's heart toward us is never one of exclusion. He longs for us to feel welcome and a part of His family. Today we discuss the inclusivity in God's family expressed in scripture toward the world.

If you’ve been around church or Christians much, chances are you’ve heard God referred to as many different names like Creator, Healer, or Father. And maybe you’ve even heard some names in Hebrew, like Jehovah and Yahweh. All of these names speak to who God is in our lives and what his heart is for us. But when we lack the stories and context behind these names (and when we aren’t fluent in Hebrew!) we miss the richness these names encompass. In this series we’ll look closely at four names of God from the Bible and how each one uniquely illustrates the truth that God is for you.

The Book of Revelation. It’s the Grand Finale, the last thing we read in the Bible. But it’s a tricky book to read…and an even trickier book to fully understand. Most people fall into two categories when they think about Revelation: they either ignore it because it’s too crazy, or they go a little too crazy trying to decipher its hidden meanings. But what if there’s a different way to read Revelation? What if Revelation is less about the antichrist than it is about the Living Christ? What if it was less about a rapture out of this world, and more about how to live faithfully in this world? This three-week series will show us how Revelation speaks just as much to how we live in the present as it does to what will happen in the future.

With countless choices coming at us everyday, we must constantly evaluate and prioritize. Work late or go home early? Splurge on vacation or repair the car? Volunteer there or there or there? Donate or not? Diet or dessert? Yardwork or Netflix? Sometimes we get it right. Sometimes we get it wrong. All this non-stop decision making can feel like we’re living in a constant state of flux that easily turns to chaos. But…if we could pre-decide a few key choices that determined how we’ll handle the smaller “everyday” choices, we’d reduce the chaos and have a better chance of our choices lining up with our values. This series will help us pre-decide Jesus-centric choices so that nothing derails us from the choices God wants us to make as we live into the life he calls us to live.

Happy Easter! Come and join is as we explored what it means to be buried with Christ and risen anew! Recorded live at CrossWinds Church on April 09, 2023.
There is one symbol that people all over the world – whether Christian or not – associate most with Jesus: The cross. It’s worn on jewelry, displayed on signs and depicted in artwork. The cross is central to our faith. But do we really know how Jesus’ death enabled our salvation? Spiritually speaking, what actually happened on the cross? The truth is, the New Testament writers themselves couldn’t quite agree. Many of us might not even realize that we are familiar with only one explanation of why Jesus had to die. Leading up to Easter, we'll walk through four theologies of atonement - as a way for all of us to more deeply understand the “why” of the cross. Recorded live at CrossWinds Church on April 02, 2023.

The cross is central to our faith. But do we really know how Jesus’ death enabled our salvation? Spiritually speaking, what actually happened on the cross? The truth is, the New Testament writers themselves couldn’t quite agree. Many of us might not even realize that we are familiar with only one explanation of why Jesus had to die. Leading up to Easter, we'll walk through four theologies of atonement - as a way for all of us to more deeply understand the “why” of the cross. Recorded live at CrossWinds Church on March 12, 2023.

Do you ever notice that Christmas comes with some messes? Whether it’s the wrapping-paper-filled floor or the sink overflowing with family gathering dishes, there is a lot of mess. And if we’re honest, those are the easy messes. It’s the people messes that are hard. We love our friends and family, and as much as we try to be a good friend, son, sister, parent, or grandparent, we simply can’t help but get some relational mess on us. This series will get you thinking about the people you’re close to, and how you can come alongside them even when it’s messy. This Christmas season we’ll celebrate Jesus’ divine ability to walk in people’s messes and we’ll learn how we can do that with those we love. But be warned: this series will mess you up!

The book of Genesis is challenging, to say the least. Some see it as an accurate, historical narrative about how the world came to be. Others approach it as a quaint relic of an irrelevant ancient culture. Both ways of thinking sell the Bible short. In fact, both of these perspectives ask the wrong questions. In this series, we’ll get over being too afraid to ask. We’ll discover the right questions and find six things Genesis is trying to say to very specific conflicts in our lives.

There’s one little word we use in English that changes a normal thing, or even a pretty good thing, into an amazing thing. It’s the word, "SO." When we use “so” before another word, it heightens that thing we’re talking about. For example, if someone asks, “How was your vacation?” and you respond, “SO good!”, we know that it wasn’t “just” good, it was as good as good can be! There are two places in the Bible where God describes his love for you and puts the word “so” in front of it. Why? He wants you to know this heightened sense with which He loves you...that doesn’t just love you, but that he SO LOVES YOU! In this series, we’re going to talk about what the implications of his “so loved” are for you, as well as for CrossWinds.

The average person has more than 6000 thoughts per day. They might be thoughts about your hopes and dreams or about that embarrassing thing you said at dinner. Thoughts might seem innocuous, but in truth, they are very powerful. They are the filter for everything we do throughout the day. In light of that, what if God is calling us to think a certain way? This series will explore what the Bible says about training our minds to think well.

Prayer is meant to be an important part of faith, but so often our prayers focus on what we want from God. We tend to keep our prayers safe, timid, and even mediocre. This series will challenge us to take a risk with our prayers, to experiment with the kind of prayers we might have never before said. We dare you to practice these dangerous prayers, and see what changes!

Two of the hardest words to say are “I’m sorry.” We would much rather voice the words “It wasn’t my fault” or “Well, if you hadn’t…” But a heartfelt apology has the power to mend relationships and move us toward greater compassion for those who are hurting. This series will take us behind our excuses and hesitations when it comes to apologizing. We’ll discover what the Bible says about empathy and how it can be the greatest gift we have to offer. If “I’m sorry” seems to have dropped from your vocabulary, join us as we get honest about admitting when we’re wrong.

We offer two Sunday morning services: one outside at 9am and one inside at 10:30am. Our indoor service will have all the things you love about pre-pandemic CrossWinds services, including creative elements, worship with the band, and a message. Our outdoor service, Traditions in the Grove, will be a traditional service with trimmed-down acoustic worship, Bible readings, and the message. We are thrilled to be able to offer both of these options, freeing you up to choose whichever service style you prefer. Our Kids Ministry will only be offered during the 10:30 service, with kids in the classrooms experiencing church just for them.

We tend to take what someone says at face value. What they say is what they mean, right? We even do this with the words of Jesus. When he said, “Love your neighbor”, he must mean to love the guy next door. When he said, “Today, you will be with me in paradise,” he must have meant this actual day we’ll meet in Hawaii or Barbados. But in truth, we often misinterpret Jesus’ teaching because we don’t understand his ancient Jewish culture. While Jesus’ listeners easily understood his references, much of the underlying meanings can get lost in translation for us. In this series, we’ll teach you five cultural understandings that will unlock Jesus’ teaching, and help you find the answer to a question you’re having, the solution for a conflict you’re in, or some guidance in whatever challenge you’re facing.
