All hands on deck Recap
Acts 19:1-10 | Sun, Feb 22, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message recaps the final week of the All Hands on Deck series, using Acts 19 where Paul finds disciples in Ephesus, equips them with the fullness of the gospel, and builds a movement that spreads the Word throughout Asia in two years. It challenges believers to know the church’s mission and to live out their faith with intentional disciple-making, not just religious attendance.

Training
2 Timothy 2:2 | Sun, Jan 11, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

In this message, the pastor emphasizes that the church’s mission is grounded in the Great Commandment and the Great Commission — to love God, love others, and make disciples who make disciples. He contrasts a consumer model of church with Jesus’ organic, relational model of training and reproducing disciples through teaching, tasking, and accountability.

Encouragement
Hebrews 10:24-25 | Sun, Jan 04, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message is part of our series called All Hands on Deck. This series will walk us through the culture of Crosswinds by focusing on our seven culture points. message emphasizes that encouragement is vital to the mission of the church—it is an intentional, Spirit-led practice that builds others up, spurs them toward love and good works, and aligns the church as a unified crew on mission for Jesus

Be Honest
Ephesians 4:1-3 | Sun, Jan 23, 2022 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Feedback is crucial for productivity in life. However, the way things are presented is equally important. Problems need to be recognized to fix an issue. Reading God's word is one of the best places for us to get feedback. Hungry people need to turn to Jesus and His word to lead us in the right direction.

Alive Within
Philippians 1:1-11 | Sun, Aug 02, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Based on Philippians 1:1-11 Paul wrote the letter to the Philippians while imprisoned, yet his life overflowed with joy because his confidence rested in Christ rather than his circumstances. This message reminds us that true victory begins in our inner life, where our identity is found in being servants of Jesus, partners in the gospel, and recipients of God's unfailing grace.

Heart of Worship
Exodus 32:1-4 | Sun, Jul 26, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message explores how the Israelites' worship of the golden calf reveals that idolatry is ultimately a heart issue, not merely an external action. It challenges believers to examine what truly holds first place in their lives, reminding us that worship is about loving and surrendering our whole lives to God rather than simply participating in religious activities.

Faith that restores
James 5:16-20 | Sun, Jul 19, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message teaches that the power of prayer is not found in the strength, passion, or eloquence of the person praying, but in the strength and faithfulness of the God to whom we pray. James 5:16-20 reminds believers to turn to God in every circumstance, rely on the support of the church, confess sin, pray with faith that trusts God's will, and lovingly pursue those who have wandered from Christ.

Patient Endurance
James 5:7-12 | Sun, Jul 05, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

Based on James 5:7–12, this message teaches that believers are called to patiently endure trials and injustice by trusting God's timing rather than demanding immediate justice.

The war within
James 4:1-12 | Sun, Jun 14, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message explores James 4:1–12 and teaches that the conflicts we experience with others often originate from sinful desires, pride, and divided loyalties within our own hearts. James calls believers to stop blaming external circumstances, humble themselves before God, submit to Him, resist the devil, and receive God's abundant grace.

Meekness of Wisdom
James 3:13-18 | Sun, Jun 07, 2026 | Pastor Ken Schultz

This message from James 3:13–18 explores the difference between worldly wisdom and godly wisdom. Using the analogy of competing operating systems, the message argues that our words, conflicts, and behaviors reveal what is happening in our hearts. The central challenge is not simply behavior modification, but allowing God to transform the heart so that wisdom produces peace, humility, mercy, and righteousness.
