About Crosswinds

Crosswinds Church is a Christ-Centered community in Plainfield Illinois, located at the corner of Route 59 & 143rd Street. It is a place where you can discover who God is and live out your faith in uplifting and practical ways. We believe the Bible teaches that we don’t come to church but that we are the church, so we teach our members to have an impact on their families, workplaces, schools, community, and beyond. The church was started by ordinary people who God has used to do great things to show love and kindness in Plainfield, our county, our region, our state, and other countries..

Our goal is not just for you to come and visit us but for you to take what you learn about God at Crosswinds and share that with someone else to encourage them on their journey. God has a wonderful design for our lives, but life can be hard and we live in a broken world. We all need help and encouragement on our journey, so we seek to give people practical tools. These tools not only help them find peace and joy in their everyday lives, but help others to do the same. We are not perfect. The Bible says no one but Jesus is perfect, but we hope you will come and grow with us. We hope you will help us to make our lives and the lives of others better by discovering the hope that is found in Jesus Christ!

In today’s message on Biblical world view Pastor Ken questions whether Christians need a worldview or instead a heavenly view of the world. The text for today is in John chapter 17 where Jesus shares. “They are not of the world, just as I am not of this world.” We are not worldling but citizens of Heaven.

Ten Hot Topics: #6 - Apathy
2 Timothy 1:1-12 | Sun, Jul 29, 2012 | Pastor John Stillman

This may be a sermon you care nothing about! But apathy should have no place in the life of a Christian. In this message, Pastor John explores Paul's words that challenge us to fan into white-hot flame the gift of God in every Christian.

Ten Hot Topics: #7 - Marriage
Hebrews 13:4 | Sun, Jul 22, 2012 | Pastor John Stillman

The NY Times declared not long ago that we live in a “post-marital society.” Marriage is on the decline. Divorce is on the incline. Cohabitation is up. Same-sex marriage advocates want to redefine marriage. For the glory of God and for the good of yourself and your community, be in sync with God about marriage and out of sync with the culture. In this message, Pastor John shares how marriage can be held in honor by all.

Ten Hot Topics: #8 - Relevance
Psalm 16 | Sun, Jul 15, 2012 | Pastor John Stillman

Much of the Western culture says that Christianity is "boring, untrue, and irrelevant." And yet, in many other places in the world, people are turning to Christ in record numbers. In this message, Pastor John looks at the psalmist's declaration of the relevance of God for all people.

Ten Hot Topics: #9 - Homosexuality
1 Corinthians 6:9-11 | Sun, Jul 08, 2012 | Pastor John Stillman

There is a rising social pressure to accept same-sex marriage and homosexuality. The middle-ground is disappearing. Where will Christians take their stand? In this message, Pastor John says that we must not tinker with the truth, but get back to it.

Ten Hot Topics: #10 - Abortion
Exodus 1:8-2:10 | Sun, Jul 01, 2012 | Pastor John Stillman

In a little over 30 years, 1.3 billion abortions have taken place world-wide.

When it comes to the issues of today, there are lots of opinions. In this opening message of a series looking at ten hot topics of interest to the church, Pastor John directs our focus to the hottest topic of all.

The Father's Business
Luke 2:40-52 | Sun, Jun 17, 2012 | Pastor John Stillman

Jesus came to do His Father’s business. As we look forward to a week of ministry in Mission: Possible, there are some things we can learn from this story so that we might see our productivity as God working in us as we work for His good pleasure (cf. Ph 2:13).

The Benefit of God's Authority
Psalm 103:14-19 | Sun, Jun 10, 2012 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In today’s message from Psalm 103 Pastor Ken shares the “Benefit of God’s Authority.” God’s authority protects us, powers us, direct us, and comforts us. In our culture today we believe in relative truth but God’s truth are absolute and provide great benefit for those that will bow to His truths.

Follow Jesus By Giving
