Listening WELL to the KING

1 DAVID 220911

Saul is the peoples choice... but not God's choice. Saul's disobedience takes his crown.  We all have some Saul in us and can learn from his mistakes.  Pastor Rick starts a new CrossPoint Church series on King David.  It is important to focus on Saul before focusing on David.

The Effect of God’s Word in Ezra and Nehemiah 220904

God loves us and wants us to live abundantly. So why do we struggle so much with our loyalty to God.  Probably because we listen to the enemies lies rather than listening to God.  His Word convicts, strengthens, guides and heals.  Time with God in His Word needs to be a priority in our lives. 

UP.IN.OUT The CrossPoint Church Pathway 220828

John tells us that if we walk with God we should live like Jesus.  Jesus did 3 relationships really well.  He had a rich UP relationship with His Father, a wonderful IN relationship with his disciples and a fruitful OUT relationship with the lost.  Pastor Rick encouraged the CrossPoint flock to grow in all three relationships making the UP your primary focus.  Growing in all three relationships will surprise our world.

REJOICE Philippians 4:10-23

Paul thanks the Philippians for their gift and teaches them that our Sovereign God takes care of all our needs.  Paul teaches what God is teaching him. As Paul walked with God... he learned to trust God and that God supplies the strength to be content in any circumstance or situation.  

REJOICE Philippians 4.6-9

Paul loves the Philippian believers, but knows they struggle.  He addresses worry and what we put in our minds... what we think about.  Paul desires the church to live abundantly, to experience all the joy there is in following Jesus so he encourages the flock to pray and trust God while choosing to make healthy choices when deciding what to put in our minds.

REJOICE Philippians 4.1-5

Paul recognizes that the Philippian church is struggling.  He addresses some of their struggles... their lack of intimacy with Jesus and joy, conflicts and displaying gentleness.  Paul is convinced they don't need to struggle, but that they can thrive.  Pastor Rick spoke this message to CrossPoint Church on 220807

REJOICE Philippians 3:12-21

Paul talks about running a race towards spiritual maturity, a place where you spend time with Jesus, reflect Him well and help others do the same.

REJOICE Philippians 3.1-11

Paul's life was drastically changed when he met Jesus.  Paul never gets tired of talking about the Gospel and the importance of developing an intimate relationship with Jesus.  Nothing else matters!

REJOICE Philippians 2.19-30

Paul gives us some men who are work hard to show the results of their salvation and where God is working.  Timothy and Epaphroditus are everyday heroes spending quarters through out the day.  Pastor Rick taught this lesson at CrossPoint Church

Rejoice Philippians 2.12-18

Paul commends the church for their obedience to the Word and then tells them to work hard on their obedience which will show the results of their salvation. Then Paul says that one result of walking with God is not complaining.  Complaining is offensive to God and one of the ugly sins which actually disqualifies a believers witness. Paul then tries to put suffering in perspective.
