As we look at the story of the he birth of Isaac and the delivery of hope, we look ahead to the next year for Crosswinds.

Who is God? What is He like? Pastor John attempts to answer these nearly impossible questions in this inaugural message for Crosswinds Church.

Did you make any New Year’s resolutions? Millions of us did. Resolutions to lose weight, quit smoking, change a personality trait, develop a good habit, be a happier person, go deeper spiritually. Resolutions and decisions to change are usually driven by a sense that something is wrong and needs to be fixed. Resolutions often come out of pain and suffering. In this section of Paul’s letter to the Christians at Colossae, he shares how he has resolved to suffer for the cause of the gospel so that everyone could know the mysterious, revolutionary joy of “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

What does it mean to be made for more? It does not mean you were made for more stuff, not more power, not more money not more possessions. You were not born primarily for these things. Pastor John Stillman takes a deeper look into Psalm 122 to answer the question what were we made for.

Jesus’ church has been blessed and built up by a long and wonderful practice of sharing words of encouragement, direction, and praise. In this message, Pastor John provides a message to the church on how to commend the good in others while praising the glory of God.

What's holding you back from following Jesus? In this message, Pastor John looks at the story of a man who had been told lots of things that, before that moment, at least in his mind, kept him from making that kind of commitment. But then he hears of how Jesus came to remove the barriers that had kept him from a relationship with God.

A recent study found that Christians are not all that different from non-Christians when it comes to navigating their lives with compassion, understanding, mercy, and forgiveness. In this message, Pastor John gives a hopeful plan for having hard conversations that navigate towards unity.

We live in very polarized times. We might want to ignore hard conversations or try the ways that make sense to the world, but our aim is to honor Christ. In this message, Pastor John shares a Biblical perspective on how to have hard conversations.

Life can be complicated, but Jesus knows what each of us needs. In this message, Pastor John looks at the miraculous feeding of 5,000 to see some lessons on how Jesus came to sort out our complications.
