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!

The Benefit of Mercy
Psalm 103:6-13 | Sun, Jun 03, 2012 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In Today’s message in Psalm 103 we will look at the benefit of God’s Mercy. In God mercy He will bring Justice and Righteousness for all the oppressed. His righteousness and justice are expressed and fulfilled in Jesus showing mercy to us all on the cross. We are to be conduits of God’s righteousness and justice in our communities to bring God’s shalom to our city.

The Benefit of Renewal
Psalm 103:1-5 | Sun, May 27, 2012 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In today’s message from psalm 103 Pastor Ken shares the benefits of a face to face friendship with Jesus. When we seek Him with all that is within us we get the benefits of forgiveness, healing, satisfaction, redemption and renewal. No matter what circumstance we find ourselves in we can have the eternal benefits of God who is the same today, yesterday, and tomorrow which brings joy to the worshiper.

The Final Exam
Matthew 25:31-46 | Sun, May 20, 2012 | Pastor John Stillman

You may have finished school many years ago, or still be in school, but there is one ultimate Final Exam awaiting us all. In Jesus description of the judgment, we learn some important truths about faith and a life lived for the glory of God and the good of others.

Don't Waste Your Talent!
Matthew 25:14-30 | Sun, May 13, 2012 | Pastor John Stillman

Everything in this world will encourage you to love, worship, adore, idolize, serve yourself. In this familiar parable from Matthew 25, Jesus describes faithfulness, reward, and the Father's joy towards those who take seriously their identity as servants in the kingdom.

Burning the Midnight Oil
Matthew 25:1-13 | Sun, May 06, 2012 | Pastor John Stillman

Jesus told many parables about the kingdom of heaven using the picutre of a party. The problem is, sadly, that some will not get in because they aren’t ready according to the way God has declared that we must enter into the celebration. In this parable of the virgins, Jesus tells us to shine brightly as we faithfully wait for His return.

For Such a Time as This
Matthew 24:32-51 | Sun, Apr 29, 2012 | Pastor John Stillman

Jesus' return is immanent, and yet many are completely unaware of it. In this message, Pastor John looks at Jesus' warnings in a few parables that challenge us to wake up before it's too late and we are faced with God's judgment.

The Signs of the Times
Matthew 24:1-31 | Sun, Apr 22, 2012 | Pastor John Stillman

Many Christians throughout history have attempted to predict the exact date of Jesus 2nd coming, forgetting that Jesus said we are to be part of the “welcoming committee” (inviting people into the kingdom) rather than the “planning committee” (setting the schedule for His coming). In this first message in a series called “No one knows the day or hour”, we’ll see how Jesus commands us to turn our attention outward and upward.

Them
Matthew 28:18-20 | Sun, Apr 15, 2012 | Pastor Ken Schultz

"Them" the church exists for them. Jesus gave the great commission not as a suggestion. In today's message in Matthew 28:18-20, Pastor Ken shares Jesus' call to the church which is the you and I need to go and make disciples of all people on this planet. We go under the authority of Jesus who has all authority on Heaven and on Earth and he uses His authority to help us go!

Jesus Really Rose From Death
1 Kings 28:1-15 | Sun, Apr 08, 2012 | Pastor John Stillman

No event in history has been more studied, scrutinized, and written about than the death and resurrection of Jesus. Today, we are invited by an angel from heaven to come and see – and believe –that the tomb is empty! That He is risen!

Christ Died for Our Sins
Matthew 27:45-61 | Sun, Apr 01, 2012 | Pastor John Stillman

Sacrificial acts of valor are uncommon. People typically don’t sacrifice their lives for others. When the Bible tells us that Jesus died for our sins, we are reminded that He sacrificed His life so that we could draw near to God with confidence.

Follow Jesus By Giving

We believe that the bible teaches us that giving should be regular, proportional, and sacrificial! Help us to help others by giving to the work of the gospel.
