What Does The Bible Say About Happiness?

December 26, 2021 - 12:27 PM Sermon SeriesStand Alone Sermons


Blaise Pascal said, “All men seek happiness.” Thomas Aquinas, the most influential theologian of the Middle Ages, said, “No one can live without delight, and that is why a man deprived of spiritual joy goes over to carnal pleasures.” God created us with a longing to be happy. To satisfy that desire, people stuff almost into their life in search of pleasure. What does the Bible say about our craving for happiness and how can we find lasting happiness that doesn’t expire? Join us to learn what the Bible teaches us about happiness and where to find it.

Acts 10:1-43 - Go Big For The Gospel

November 14, 2021 - 06:46 PM Sermon SeriesVision


As we remember Veteran’s Day, we are especially grateful for soldiers who take big risks to save lives. Currently, there are marines risking their lives in Afghanistan rescuing civilians caught behind enemy lines. One of those marines has rescued more than 30 people. Our hearts are inspired by soldiers like that who go big to save lives. In a similar way, we want to be a church filled with people that go big to share the gospel. We want to take big risks when it comes to saving lives eternally for God.

1 Peter 2:12 - Good Works, Good Will, And Good News

November 07, 2021 - 05:43 PM Sermon SeriesVision


On December 17, 1941, North Platte residents gathered at the Union Pacific Depot because they heard that a troop train carrying the Nebraska National Guard would be coming through town. When the train stopped, it was actually the Kansas National Guard. After a few moments of awkward silence, the people of the town surged forward and shared their Christmas gifts with the young men on board. After all, they were someone’s children and it was Christmas time. That night, young Rae Wilson penned a letter to the editor asking North Platte to open a Canteen at the depot that would feed other troops passing through town. Little did she know that she was starting an endeavor that would last 54 months, involving 12,000 volunteers and feeding more than 6 million servicemen and women. The North Platte Canteen remains the largest volunteer movement in United States history. This extraordinary act of kindness made North Platte one of the most loved towns for troops returning from the war. Just as the good works of a small town transformed lives, as Christians, God calls us to be about good works which God will use to help transform lives with the gospel. Join us to see how good works lead to good will which opens the door to the good news.

With the prices at the gas pump hitting record highs, lawnmowers being outlawed in California, and empty store shelves while hundreds of container ships float off the California coast, the last thing we want is more change. The church feels like it is the one place that should be safe from change. As we turn to 1 Corinthians 9, we find the Bible telling us we must change. Join us as we learn how we must change for the sake of the gospel.

Luke 15:1-10 - We Are 4 The 1 Who Is Lost.

October 24, 2021 - 06:52 PM Sermon SeriesVision


This week the remains of Brian Laundrie were found in Florida. The feverish hunt for Brian revived the search for many others who have gone missing. Unfortunately, most are never found. On the rare occasion when people are saved, it is one of the greatest joys a family can experience. This weekend we begin a series on CrossWind’s 5-Year Vision. We will learn how much joy God experiences when someone far from God is saved and comes home.

Jude 24-25 - The Greatness Of God Demands The Worship Of God

October 17, 2021 - 08:26 PM Sermon SeriesJude


If you need a box of diapers, you will have a hard time finding them. Due to inflation and supply chain issues at least 1 in 3 Americans are facing a diaper shortage. Diapers are not the only item that is hard to find. Just about everything is scarce and pricey. As a result, people grumble against those in power. In the final message of Jude, we find there is no reason to grumble about what our God has done for us. Instead, there is every reason to sing his praises now and forever. Join us in the final message of Jude as we discover why the greatness of our God demands the worship of his people.

Jude 14-16 - What Does The Bible Teach About God's Judgement?

October 03, 2021 - 05:39 PM Sermon SeriesJude


Brian Laundrie has a nation looking for him. After the murder of Gabby Petito, Brian managed to evade the police. The longer he refuses to turn himself in, the more guilty he appears. A nation is wondering, will Brian get away with murder? Will justice be served? As we continue our study of Jude, we look at God’s promise of final justice. Nobody gets away with anything. We will also see the good news of a God who loves us so much that he offers to take the punishment we deserve.

Jude 11-13 - How Apostates Work

September 26, 2021 - 08:35 PM Sermon SeriesJude


This year the movie “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” came to theaters. It is the behind-the-scenes story of Tammy Faye Baker, a woman driven by greed, sexual sin, all things gold, and ten pounds of makeup. The movie reveals the life that Jim and Tammy kept hidden for years and how money, sex, and power controlled their life and brought about their demise. This weekend, as we continue in our study of Jude, we learn more about the way apostates work and how—like the Bakkers—they lead Christians astray.

Jude 8-10 - How To Spot A Spiritual Terrorist

September 19, 2021 - 05:54 PM Sermon SeriesJude


In 2015, Shamima Begum left Britain to join the Islamic State in Syria. At the age of 15, she married a man who was later convicted of terrorism offenses. Since then she has repeatedly tried to return to Britain but the British government has refused to allow her to come home. As terrorism experts warn, she is not a student stuck overseas. She is a proven terrorist that can not be trusted. While some think she is being treated harshly, governments around the world take no chances when it comes to terrorism. Terrorists are hard to spot and they do great damage once inside a country. Joins us as we learn how to spot spiritual terrorists, Satan’s ISIS operatives. If we can identify them, we can protect ourselves from them before they blow themselves up and nothing remains but the smoldering ashes of the church they left behind.

Jude 7 - Homosexuality And Hell

September 12, 2021 - 03:56 PM Sermon SeriesJude


Franklin Graham had a full house at the Hertz arena where he made a stop on his Decision America tour. Surprisingly thousands have signed petitions to stop Franklin Graham from speaking in arenas around the country. The Reverend Nathan Empsall explains why, “Graham engages in repeated hatred against the LGBTQ community despite the fact that each and every person is made in God’s image.” What has Franklin Graham said that the LGBTQ community finds so hateful and offensive? Graham claims the Bible calls homosexuality a sin of which people need to repent, not an alternative lifestyle God wants us to enjoy. With so many churches and denominations endorsing homosexuality and celebrating the LGBTQ lifestyle, is Franklin Graham wrong? Join us this weekend as we find out what the Bible says about homosexuality and hell.

Jude 5-7 - The Deadly Danger Of Rejecting Jesus

September 05, 2021 - 04:16 PM Sermon SeriesJude


This week, Hurricane Ida pounded the East coast resulting in a staggering loss of life. As America leaves Afghanistan, the Taliban began moving house to house assassinating American sympathizers. Our hearts break to hear of these tragic and needless deaths. This weekend, as we continue our study in the book of Jude, we come face to face with a tragedy greater than any seen on the news: rebellion against Jesus — which is the greatest tragedy in the universe. Join us as we learn how fighting for the faith once for all delivered to the saints to make this is a tragedy we can avoid.

Jude 3-4 - Spiritual Terrorists

August 29, 2021 - 04:43 PM Sermon SeriesJude


When America pulled out of Afghanistan, many were shocked at how quickly the Taliban regained the country and infiltrated the cities. It turns out the terrorists weren’t beaten. They were hiding waiting for the right time to seize control. In a similar way, spiritual terrorists stand ready to infiltrate the church. They are looking for opportunities to seize control and steer the church away from the only gospel that can save. Join us as we learn how to recognize spiritual terrorists.

Jude 1-2 - Meet Jude, Servant Of Jesus

August 22, 2021 - 03:41 PM Sermon SeriesJude


COVID-19 has killed over 4 million people around the globe. Early in the pandemic, we heard there was evidence the virus originating in a lab in China. Then, almost immediately, we were told the lab-leak theory couldn’t possibly be true. The virus originated in an animal market. This month, after an extensive investigation, the government now believes the China lab-leak theory is true after all. Plus, many of those who claimed the lab-leak theory wasn’t true intentionally deceived the public. With so many deceivers, truth is hard to find. This isn’t only true in the news, it is also true in the church where deceivers distort the gospel message and undermine confidence in the Bible. Join us as we begin the book of Jude. It is a book on how to fight for the truth in a world filled with deception.

Luke 11:5-13 - Why Should We Pray?

August 15, 2021 - 12:31 PM Sermon SeriesStand Alone Sermons
edge

This message finishes our summer series on prayer. It was recorded at the One Church - One Day combined worship service for CrossWinds Church and all of its campuses at the Arnold's Park green space. Due to the outdoor event, there is wind noise in the recording we were not able to remove.

If God knows everything, why pray? If God has already planned the future, why pray and ask God to change the future? Does prayer make a difference? In our final study on prayer, we look at what Jesus taught his disciples in the Gospel of Luke immediately following the Lord’s Prayer about how God answers prayer.

We live in a YouTube world. People are constantly consuming videos on their phones. While a modest number of churches had an online presence before the pandemic, COVID pushed most churches into the virtual church world. Thankfully, the Internet is helping churches reach more people with Jesus. Megachurches, like Saddleback in California, have as many as 20,000 people joining them online each weekend. While God is using the virtual church to grow his kingdom, there are unintended consequences when the physical gathering of God’s people is replaced with a virtual one. What are the dangers of digital church? Join us as we learn why together is better.

2 Timothy 4:9-22 - What Kind Of Person Am I In My Church?

June 20, 2021 - 04:31 PM Sermon Series2 Timothy


Business books tell us networking is the secret to success. It is not what you know but who you know that makes the difference. In the final verses of Paul’s letter to Timothy, Paul introduces us to his network. We see the different roles they played on his team and how they helped him reach the world with Jesus. God is not just concerned with our faithfulness to Him. He is also concerned with our faithfulness to one another.

2 Timothy 4:7-8 - Finishing Well - Part 2

June 13, 2021 - 04:39 PM Sermon Series2 Timothy


One of the toughest races in the world is the Yukon Arctic Ultra. This competition involves running the Yukon Quest Trail in northern Canada in the dead of winter. The athletes run 100 miles around the clock entirely unsupported for days in the extreme Canadian winter. They run on remote unmaintained trails while towing their survival gear on a sled. It is one of the most life-threatening races on the planet. This week we continue our study in 2 Timothy and learn Christian life is not easy. It is like the Yukon Arctic Ultra. Our Christian lives requires a lifetime of sustained and agonizing effort to finish well. Join us as we learn more about what it takes for us to finish well.

2 Timothy 4:6 - Finishing Well - Part 1

June 06, 2021 - 04:12 PM Sermon Series2 Timothy


In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the United States men’s 4x100m relay team was favored to win. The athletes on the American team were outstanding. They included Tyson Gay, the man who ran the fasted ever 100m time in the world. The Americans hopes for a gold came crashing down during a qualifying race when the baton pass from Darvis Patton to Tyson Gay went bad. Tyson dropped the baton. The drop was so costly the United States did not even finish the race. It doesn’t matter if you are the fasted 100m runner in the world, if you can’t pass the baton to the next athlete, you can’t win. This week we learn the church is like a relay race. Just as important as running our race for Christ is passing the baton of leadership to the next generation that will take our place. Join us as we learn how to pass the baton of faith to the next generation and finish well.

In 2015, Josh Canfield—a lead choir director at Hill Song church, competed as a contestant on the Survivor television show. What came as a surprise was on the show he openly identified as being gay, a Christian, and on staff at Hill Song church. Shortly after the airing of that Survivor season, the church removed him from leadership. He didn’t understand why. He had told everyone in leadership on his campus that he was gay and in a relationship, yet they continued to let him lead because of his vocal talent and stage presence. Why had church leadership turned a blind eye to his lifestyle until it came out on national television? What should the church have done differently? Join us this weekend as we continue in our study of 2 Timothy 4 and learn what it means to be a faithful pastor when the church has become a place of entertainment.

It crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. The famous last words from that flight were spoken by Todd Beamer as he and the other passengers tried to regain control of the plane. They were, “Let’s Roll.” Those famous last words were later used as the rallying cry of the President to inspire America to fight back against Al-Qaeda.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 - Can I Trust My Bible?

May 02, 2021 - 05:10 PM Sermon Series2 Timothy


Adam Hamilton is a prolific author and the pastor of a large United Methodist Church in Leawood, Kansas. He was interviewed on the United Methodist web \site about the question, “Do you have to read the Bible literally?” His answer was that sometimes you read the Bible more literally, while other times you read the Bible less literally. For example, he doesn’t consider Adam and Eve to be literal historical figures. It also doesn’t matter to him if Jonah was literally in the belly of a great fish. He believes much of the Old Testament is just an archetypal story. That is a story where we see ourselves, not a record of historical truth. While he believes the New Testament is more historically reliable than the Old Testament, he doesn’t believe it is completely true and can always be trusted. Adam Hamilton’s view of the Bible as sacred story instead of factual history is sweeping across America. Should the Bible be read as nothing more than a story that doesn’t need to connect with historical events? If we were to ask the Bible what it says about itself, how would it tell us to read it and understand it? Join us as we answer the question, “Can I trust my Bible?”

2 Timothy 3:14-17 - How Do I Stand Strong For Jesus?

April 25, 2021 - 05:01 PM Sermon Series2 Timothy


Today it is hard to know what to believe. A recent Gallup pole revealed seven out of ten Americans do not trust the major news networks. The media is seen as a political manipulation machine instead a source of unvarnished truth. Even more prevalent than the deception of today’s media is the religious deception around us. Satan is working hard to draw people away from Jesus. How can we be a strong Christian that is faithful to the end of our life and avoid being deceived? Join me as Paul shows us three pillars for a strong Christian life.

2 Timothy 3:10-13 - Why Do I Need Christian Heroes?

April 18, 2021 - 09:40 AM Sermon Series2 Timothy


Alwyn Cashe is an American hero from the Iraq War. After his Bradley Fighting Vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb, even though he escaped with minimal injuries, he went back to the burning vehicle seven times to pull his unconscious men to safety before they were consumed by the flames. As a result of his heroic efforts, he died from burns that covered most of his body. All of those burns he received because he risked his life to pull his men to safety. Alwyn is a true American hero. He cared more about saving the lives of others than his own. As Christians, we also need heroes we can admire. We need to know the stories of Christian heroes of the past so we can learn from the example of their lives. Join us as we learn how to follow Christian heroes of the past and how to be one in the present.

1 Corinthians 15:29-34 - How Does The Resurrection Change The Way I Live?

April 04, 2021 - 01:40 PM Sermon SeriesEaster


Easter comes every spring. It was placed on the calendar in the spring so the new life rising out of the earth after a cold and dead winter would be an annual reminder of Jesus rising to life after death for us. While Easter is a wonderful reminder of the empty tomb, how does the resurrection of Jesus change the way we live the rest of the year? In this study we learn how Jesus' resurrection changes the way we live every day.

Luke 19:28-44 - The Triumphal Entry

March 28, 2021 - 02:08 PM Sermon SeriesStand Alone Sermons


We live in a politically divided time. Accusations of election fraud are still on the news. Executive orders and sweeping political changes are on the horizon. The evening news fixates on the political issues of our day telling us our problems would be solved if we could overthrow the people in power. Not much has changed since the days of Jesus. At that time the Jews were convinced their source of trouble was the Romans that were in political power over them. They desperately wanted Jesus to help them overthrow the Romans, and if he did, they were convinced their problems would go away. As we study the Triumphal Entry, we discover how easy it is to follow Jesus for the wrong reasons and to look to Jesus for the wrong solutions.

2 Timothy 3:1-4 - The Danger Of Self Love

March 14, 2021 - 10:36 AM Sermon Series2 Timothy


In popular conversation we frequently hear about the importance of loving ourselves. People are told to love themselves more. They are told they won’t be able to love another person until they learn to love themselves. We are told we need to learn to love ourselves to succeed in life. While psychologists have beat the self-love drum since the 1960’s, the Bible has a different way of looking at this subject. A focus on loving ourselves spells the death of a relationship with God and with other people. Join me as we learn the danger of self love and neglecting to love our neighbor as ourself.

2 Timothy 2:23-26 - Christians In Conflict

March 07, 2021 - 10:54 AM Sermon Series2 Timothy


The news is filled with conflict. It is one story after another of evil, corruption, and fighting. It is no surprise when bitterness and disputes creep into the church. How are we to handle distracting arguments? What should we do when Christians hurt us or say evil things about us behind our back? In this message, we see what the Bible teaches us about how we can be most useful to Christ and his kingdom when there is conflict in the church.

2 Timothy 2:20-22 - How Can I Be Useful For God?

February 28, 2021 - 09:29 AM Sermon Series2 Timothy


Every good sports team has a deep bench. The team needs players that can step into crucial positions in a moment’s notice. Sometimes bench athletes train just as hard as the starting lineup but see no playing time. What is important is that they are ready to go the moment the coach needs them. As Christians, our life is similar to a second-string athlete. We need to be prepared and ready to play for coach Jesus whenever he needs to call us off the bench. Join me as we learn how to be ready to play an important roles in changing lives.

2 Timothy 2:14-19 - How Do I Evaluate A Pastor?

February 21, 2021 - 08:43 AM Sermon Series2 Timothy


The Internet gives us access to thousands of Bible teachers around the world. The pandemic forced us to stay home and worship online. For many that was a chance to shop around. It was a chance to experience some of the best communicators in the nation. How do we evaluate them? While they have the applause of the crowds, how do you know if they have the applause of God? Join us as we continue our study in 2 Timothy and learn how to tell the difference between a good pastor and bad one.

2 Timothy 2:8-13 - The Reward Is Worth The Sacrifice

February 14, 2021 - 08:40 PM Sermon Series2 Timothy


Last week Tom Brady and the Buccaneers celebrated another Super Bowl victory. While Tom and the players on his team are skilled at football, a Super Bowl victory doesn’t come without hard work and sacrifice. The reward of a Super Bowl championship makes all the sacrifice worth it. As Christians, when we share the gospel, we will be met with resistance by a world that is opposed to Christ and His kingdom. The good news is God promises to reward those who faithfully share the Good News. Join us this weekend as we learn why the reward of sharing the gospel is always worth the sacrifice.

2 Timothy 1:9-18 - Guarding The Gospel

January 31, 2021 - 09:22 PM Sermon Series2 Timothy


One of a soldier’s highest honors is to stand guard at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. If you have visited Arlington National Cemetery, you know how seriously each sentinel takes his duty. The tomb of the Unknown Soldier has been guarded 24 hours a day, 7 days a week since 1937. No matter the weather the sentinels guard the tomb. Even in September 2003 during Hurricane Isabel, the sentinels kept guard. This week we look at an honor greater than guarding the Unknown Soldier’s tomb. We have the honor of guarding the gospel message. Nothing is more precious. Nothing is more valuable. Nothing is worth standing for more than the honor of speaking the truth of what God has done for us through Jesus. Join me as we learn how to guard the true gospel and to avoid being pressured into believing a false one.

2 Timothy 1:7-10 - How Do I Speak About Jesus In A World That Is Against Him?

January 24, 2021 - 09:42 AM Sermon Series2 Timothy


Chick-Fil-A is the most popular restaurant chain in America. Unfortunately there are times when city councils and universities forbid the chain from opening a restaurant in their community because of their Christian beliefs and practices. It is not just Chick-Fil-A that pays a price for identifying themselves with Jesus. Each of us will experience shame and embarrassment when we talk about Jesus in public. How do we find the courage to speak for Jesus when we are shamed for Him? Join me as we learn how the Apostle Paul prepared Timothy to suffer for Jesus in a world where you could lose your life if you spoke about Him.

January 17, 2021 - 11:32 AM Sermon Series2 Timothy


In 1960, James Rodgers was executed by firing squad for the murder of a local coal miner. As was the custom, before his death the state offered to grant one final request. He requested a bullet proof vest! The final words of someone’s life reveal what is important to them. In Rodger’s case, he wanted to live. 2 Timothy is the final letter of Paul’s life. In this short book he teaches us what was important to him, that is being faithful to Christ to the end life. Join us as we learn more about faithfulness to Christ over the long-haul.

Psalm 19 - Take Up And Read

January 10, 2021 - 02:16 PM Sermon SeriesTake Up And Read


For the last 40 years, Gallup surveyed Americans about their belief in the Bible. In 2017, for the first time in the Gallup’s history, more Americans believed the Bible was a book of fables, legends, and moral principles recorded by man (26%) than believed the Bible is the Word of God and relevant to everyday life (24%). More Americans see the Bible as irrelevant than prior generations! Is reading the Bible a waste of time and energy? What happens when we neglect reading the Bible? What does God promise will happen when we take time to read the Bible? This weekend, we study Psalm 19. Join me as we learn why Bible reading is essential for our joy and life.
