Audio Messages

We continue on our journey through Luke. In Luke 20 the Pharisees challenges Jesus' authority. Jesus was a man under authority with all authority, in this message we discover what that means for us today.

The subject of the text in Luke 17:26-37 is very difficult. It speaks about what the condition of the world will be like when God comes back to bring His final judgement, but because Jesus loves us so much He wants us to be ready for that day, He tells us the truth even when it is uncomfortable.

Just like Jesus got ridiculed by His audience after the parable in Luke 16, the church often gets ridiculed when we talk about money, like that is all the church cares about. But that is definitely true at Crosswinds! One of the reasons why people object to the church preaching about money is because there are some churches that preach a false gospel of prosperity. It is true that you can’t outgive God. If you give to Him, he will give to you much more in return, not necessarily more money, that is prosperity teaching, but rather more eternal blessings.

When we cast darkness out of our lives we need to make sure to keep our hearts and lives full of love and our commitment in faith to Jesus Christ. Being full of the love He has for us keeps any evil from trying to come back into our lives.

Learn the miracles of Jesus like sending demons from a man and filling him with love instead. God uses perfect love to cast out our fears. Going in His authority is part of our healing. In order to heal we need to repent and obey God.

We need to trust in the Lord forever because he is our rock and our refuge. God took away our sin and gave us his righteousness. God is our refuge from sin and death. We receive His encouragement through this and need to live in His promise of eternal life.
