CrossPointe Church

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.

The Father who Listens | Luke 18:1-8

What do you do when it feels like your prayers are hitting the ceiling? When silence stretches long and the waiting wears you down, it’s tempting to assume God isn’t listening. But in Luke 18, Jesus tells a story that speaks directly to the ache of unanswered prayer.
 
In this message, Pastor Steve reminds us that prayer isn’t about nagging God into submission—it’s about holding onto His heart when life tempts us to let go. We serve a Father who listens, who cares, and who moves in His perfect time. This isn’t about prayer techniques—it’s about trust.
 
If you’re weary from waiting, this sermon is for you. Keep praying. Keep trusting. He’s worth it.

The Father Who Sees Our Heart | Luke 18:9-14

Most of us walk around with quiet pressure in our souls—the need to appear put-together, to be “good enough,” to prove we’re worthy of love. But in Luke 18, Jesus tells a story that lovingly exposes this tendency.
 
In this message, Pastor Steve invites us to see ourselves clearly: not as people who need a little polishing, but as people who need mercy. The parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector isn’t just about two men praying—it’s a mirror for every heart. Do we come to God with our resumé, or with our need?
 
This sermon is a call to drop the mask, stop striving, and come home to grace.

The Mercy We Forget | Matthew 18:21-35

When was the last time you forgave someone from your heart—not because they deserved it, but because you remembered the mercy God gave you? In this honest and powerful message, Pastor Steve leads us through Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant and invites us to confront the subtle pride that clings to our own record while holding others hostage to theirs.
 
We all crave grace, but extending it can feel impossible—especially when wounds run deep. This sermon reminds us that the weight of our own forgiven debt reshapes how we treat those who’ve hurt us. If you’ve been hurt, hardened, or haunted by resentment, listen in. Mercy isn’t a theory—it’s a way of life for those who’ve been changed by the Gospel.
