June 30, 2024 - 05:48 PM Sermon SeriesCORE
Today, many churches follow the social gospel and Critical Race Theory. Others ordain women pastors. Some no longer believe in the existence of hell. In this message, we share how CrossWinds Church relates to modern culture and the EFCA’s response to issues such as wokism, Critical Race Theory, Christian Nationalism, Egalitarianism, and other cultural trends.

November 08, 2020 - 01:36 PM Sermon SeriesGospel of Mark
The "Great American Eclipse" of August 21, 2017 is now history. April 8, 2024 is the next total solar eclipse. It will darken a 115 mile wide section of America from Texas to Maine. When Jesus died on the cross, thick darkness covered the land. Was that just a solar eclipse? If it wasn't an eclipse, what caused the darkness in Jerusalem for three hours that day? Join us for the answer.

Famous American historian, Willian Manchester, said, "the erasure of distinctions between the sexes is not only the most striking issue of our time, it may be the most profound issue our race has ever confronted." Our culture continues to blur the differences between men and woman. In this two-part message, we explore what the Bible says about the God-given differences between the genders. We learn how God ordained that our gender wouldn't just determine our sexuality but the way we live daily life.

Genesis 18 - Guests
February 07, 2016 - 07:03 PM Sermon SeriesGenesis
John and Francis Canning had an unexpected guest at their wedding in England at Manchester Town Hall. As they stood in disbelief, Queen Elizabeth appeared, shook their hands and congratulated them on their marriage. You never know who will show up for dinner. In Genesis 18, Jesus—a guest more infamous than the Queen mother, shows up to have lunch with Abraham and Sarah. Like an encouraging meal with an old friend, Jesus encourages Abraham, Sarah and us that no matter the obstacles we face, he is more than capable of overcoming them.
