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.

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.

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.

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.

Whose voice do you listen to? Whose voice moves you to action? In this message, we look at Jesus' open invitation to anyone in the sound of His voice to receive the soul-satisfying Living Water of eternal life, and pass it on to others.

Research tells us that insight tends to come from the right side of the brain, but the reality is that no one is really in his or her right mind apart from the work of God in transforming our way of thinking. In this message, Pastor John looks at how we can get into our right mind through the insight of the Scriptures.

On our own, we seem wired to resist change and fight for what is in our own best interest. However, real turnaround sometimes happens when we can say, "I have someone to guide me." When God spoke to young Samuel, and when he speaks to little boys and grown-up men and women today, He is giving a call to action and the promise of His help.

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.

Time is one of the most precious resources that we have, and yet it is one of the most neglected areas of management. Most people live with little or no margin in their time. As we pursue Godly priorities, He will lead us into a place of margin.

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.
