Resurrection
What Is The Most Important Thing I Need To Know?
April 21, 2019 - 09:37 PM Filed in: Easter
We live in a world flooded with information. Our inbox and mailbox are filled with junk mail. We pay for 200 channels of television but most programs are filled with commercials we don't want to see. With the click of a few keys, the Internet tells us anything we need to know, plus many things we don't want to know. Our phones are buzzed and our social media accounts are constantly updating. Wouldn't it be great if we could take a break from the noise of this information? Wouldn't it be great if we could just focus on the things we need to know? In this message, we will look at the one thing the Bible tells us everyone needs to know, the truth about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus.

Easter is one of the best parts of the Christian calendar. While Jesus' resurrection is good news, for many, it is news that is hard to believe. We live in a world of smartphones, computers and the Internet. Someone rising from the dead sounds like a theme from the latest Marvel Comic movie, not something you can base your life upon. In this message, we examine 10 reasons why we can be sure Jesus rose from the dead and how the proof of the resurrection changes everyday living.

April 16, 2017 - 11:34 AM Filed in: Easter
As we focus on our CrossWinds church emphasis of Generous Living, this week we take a look at the parable of the Good Samaritan and discover that generous love for other is essential if we have experienced the generous love of Jesus. I apologize for the poor audio quality and off-center camera angle in the video.

The Resurrection Changes Everything
March 27, 2016 - 09:51 AM Filed in: Easter
NT Wright—a prominent Anglican theologian, talks about his friend, Marcus Borg. NT believes Marcus is a Christian even though he doesn't believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus. Is it possible to be a Christian without believing in the literal resurrection? In this study we learn how a Christ that didn't rise destroys our faith. A Jesus that did rise changes our lives.

John 20 - The Resurrection Changes Everything
September 01, 2013 - 02:43 PM Filed in: Gospel of John
The church often talks about the cross what Christ achieved for us on it. The early church in the book of Acts didn't talk about what Christ did on the cross. All twelve sermons in Acts talk about what Christ made possible through the empty tomb. The tomb is empty. Jesus loves you. He is alive and hears your prayers. That is the message of every spiritual revival in history. It is the resurrection that changes everything.
