A Peculiar People | 1 Timothy 2:8-15

Few passages in the New Testament are as debated as 1 Timothy 2:8–15. Paul speaks about men raising holy hands in prayer, women adorning themselves with godliness rather than appearance, and even the hard line about women not teaching or having authority over men. These verses have sparked centuries of discussion, confusion, and sometimes division.
 
In this sermon, Pastor Steve leans in with humility and clarity, showing that God’s design is not oppressive but life-giving. The church is called to be a peculiar people who reflect God’s wisdom and beauty in a culture that prizes power, appearance, and self-promotion. This is a passage that may make you pause, but it also holds surprising hope.

A Praying People | 1 Timothy 2:1-7

What powers the mission of the church? It is not strategy, programs, or polished leadership. It is prayer. In 1 Timothy 2, Paul urges the church to be a praying people, lifting up petitions, intercessions, and thanksgiving for all people, even leaders and enemies.
 
In this message, Pastor Steve calls us back to the heart of the mission: prayer that fuels gospel proclamation. Prayer reminds us that salvation belongs to God, that Jesus is the one mediator, and that His desire is for all people to be saved. If you have ever wondered where to begin in living on mission, this is it: on your knees, asking God to do what only He can do.

When Mercy Rewrites Your Story | 1 Timothy 1:12-20

When life feels heavy and faith feels weary, where do you turn? In 1 Timothy 1, Paul doesn’t give Timothy a list of tasks—he shares his testimony. Paul reminds us that mercy changes everything. It rewrote his story from blasphemer to believer, from persecutor to preacher.
 
In this message, Pastor Steve shows that when mercy rewrites your story, gratitude becomes the song of your life and the strength for your fight. If you’re tired, discouraged, or simply in need of hope, this is a reminder that God’s mercy is greater than your past and stronger than your weakness.

When the Gospel is the Goal | 1 Timothy 1:1-11

Many people today say, “I love Jesus, but I don’t trust the church.” And let’s be honest—sometimes they have good reasons. From scandals to power grabs, churches can lose sight of who they are meant to be. But what if the problem isn’t with the idea of the church itself, but with forgetting its foundation?
 
In this first message from the House of God series, Pastor Steve reminds us that when the Gospel is clear, love is the result. The church isn’t meant to be a corporation or a performance—it’s a family built on grace, truth, and the good news of Jesus. This sermon is a call to strip away the distractions and recover what God intended His church to be.

The Reception Dinner | Revelation 19:6-9

Every wedding points to something greater. Beneath the music, the feast, and the vows is a longing for a love that lasts and a joy that never ends. Revelation 19 gives us a glimpse of that ultimate wedding: the marriage supper of the Lamb.
 
In this message, Stephen Bean (elder at CrossPointe) reminds us that the Bible’s story ends not with despair, but with a feast. A Bride made ready. A Groom who has prepared a place. And an invitation that changes everything. If you’ve ever felt the ache of longing, loss, or waiting, this sermon offers a vision of the day when hope will not disappoint and joy will never run out.

The Lord's Table | Don't Miss the Masterpiece

It’s possible to sit at the Lord’s Table with bread and cup in hand—and still miss Jesus. That was the danger in Corinth, where communion became more about status and division than about grace. And if we’re honest, it can be our danger too.
 
In this message, Pastor Steve shows how the Lord’s Supper is not just ritual but relationship—an invitation into fellowship with Christ Himself. Communion is the masterpiece of God’s grace, the story of redemption stretching from Passover to the cross to the day when we will drink anew with Jesus in His kingdom. This sermon is a call to slow down, to see what’s in our hands, and not to miss the masterpiece.

Breaking Bread, Building Community

What made the early church so powerful that 3,000 people were saved in a single day? In this heartfelt message, retired pastor Jim Fox takes us back to the very first Pentecost and reveals the four pillars that transformed ordinary believers into world-changers. From the apostles' teaching to fellowship, from breaking bread together to devoted prayer, discover how these simple practices created a community so compelling that "the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." Jim's personal stories and practical wisdom will challenge you to move beyond surface-level Christianity into the kind of authentic fellowship that changes lives. If you've ever wondered what real Christian community looks like, this message will inspire you to invite someone to your table and experience the life-changing power of biblical fellowship.

Breakfast with Jesus | John 21:1-19

Sometimes failure feels final. You work hard, do all the right things, and still end up with empty hands. That’s where Peter found himself—haunted by his denial of Jesus, unsure if he still belonged. But in John 21, Jesus shows up on the shore with a fire, breakfast, and a question that changes everything.
 
In this message, Pastor Steve shows how Jesus meets us in our surrender, not our success. He restores what shame tries to erase, and He turns our worst moments into a new beginning. This isn’t just a story about Peter—it’s hope for anyone who wonders if they can still be used by God.

When the Wine Runs Out | John 2:1-12

We all hit moments when the joy dries up—when life feels more like obligation than celebration. Maybe it’s a quiet ache, a relationship gone cold, or the creeping sense that what once satisfied no longer does. In John 2, Jesus shows up at a wedding that’s running out of wine, and with it, joy, honor, and hope.
 
In this message, Pastor Steve reveals the beauty behind Jesus’ first miracle—not just as a display of power, but as a deeply personal act of grace. Jesus doesn’t just fix the problem—He transforms it. This sermon invites you to bring your emptiness, your tired expectations, and your worn-out hope to the One who turns water into wine. The best is yet to come.

The Father Who Invites Us to His Table | Matthew 22:1-14

We all long for belonging—for a place at the table where we’re wanted, welcomed, and known. But in a world of distractions, deadlines, and self-made religion, it’s easy to miss the most important invitation of all.
 
In this message, Pastor Steve shares the parable of the wedding banquet—a story Jesus told not to entertain us, but to wake us up. This is a feast prepared by a Father who doesn’t want your perfection—He wants your presence. But it’s also a feast that demands a response.
 
If you’ve ever wondered if grace is really for you, or if you’ve settled into performance or pride, this is your invitation. Come, be clothed in Christ, and celebrate the joy of the King.
