1 Samuel 20 - Getting Behind God's Work Is More Important Than Me



34-year-old Joaquin Romero was helping a woman get hooked to a zip-line platform when she started sliding out on the line. He grabbed her harness to stop her but couldn’t hold her back. Both slide to a position of about a hundred feet above the ground. Fearing the woman would fall because of his extra weight, he made the heroic decision to put her life before his own and let go, plunging to his death. In 1 Samuel 20, we meet Jonathan and learn how God used him when he put God’s plan to save David’s life in front of his own. We learn why God loves to use people who are willing to give up their own will to get behind God’s will for the future.

1 Samuel 15 - Obedience Is Better Than Sacrifice



The YouTube Channel “Caught in Providence” are the real-life cases of Judge Frank Caprio who is a judge in Providence Rhode Island. It is the real-life story of people with their traffic tickets, speeding tickets, and parking tickets and the excuses they give to try to get out of them. As we continue our study in 1 Samuel, we are looking at five excuses we give to justify sin and why none of them work.

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



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.

Mark 12:38-44 - What Does Genuine Love For God Look Like?




Some church traditions have their church leaders wear a collar or preach in an ornate robe. Other church traditions request parishioners address church leaders using a term of respect such as "Father," "Priest," or "Pastor." Special clothing and titles are intended to visually identify the spiritually mature among us, When we look at the Gospel of Mark, we see a different measure of spiritual maturity. It is faith and generosity. Join us as we discover what genuine love for God looks like.

Hebrews 10:1-18 - Jesus Is A Greater Sacrifice




The book of Hebrews tells us that what God has done for us through Jesus is greater than anything he did in the past. Jesus is so great, God can not improve what he has already done for us through Jesus in the future. How does that relate to the Old Testament sacrificial system? Join us as we learn how Jesus changed sacrifices for sin and the good news of how he changed it.

Ephesians 3:1-13 - Ministry is Worth the Sacrifice




We are entering a busy season at CrossWinds. We have a new name, a new web site, and a new campus is about to launch. Leaders are moving from Spirit Lake to Spencer helping to get the campus off the ground. This gives us expected holes on our ministry teams. It is a time where everyone needs to work extra hard and long hours. Is it worth it? In Ephesians 3, we find out.
