Crossroads Community Church

Much of our time is consumed with wondering about how others perceive us. It’s like the saying goes, “I spent my 20s wondering what others thought of me. I spent my 40s not caring what others thought of me. I spent my 60s realizing that others were not thinking about me at all.” What is fascinating is that as true as that may be for people, God is always thinking about us. And God’s thoughts are the only thoughts that matter. When we begin to contemplate the mind of God, we are astounded by what we find. Join us as we continue our series as we explore the thoughts of God.

God Thinks About You (Psalm 139:17-18) - Pastor Daniel Fusco

We love hearing interviews from artists, movie producers, musicians and inventors. It's so interesting to find out the reasons they created their art - and it helps us understand what we're looking at and how it was intended to impact the world. In this message from Psalm 139 it is amazing to realize that God – the ultimate Artist – created us and He has a plan for each one of us. And the reality that we are all created in His image, his most prized possession, gives us confidence and makes our lives on earth more meaningful than ever before!

God Created and Sustains You (Psalm 139:13-16) - Pastor Daniel Fusco

“Presence” changes the dynamics of a situation. A baby is born into a room. A grade school classroom is abuzz with wild noises and laughter and then the teacher walks in. A person is suffering in the emergency room and the doctor comes in and says, “I know what is happening with you, and we can help.” In the same way, God’s presence changes everything. He is intimately near to us, and knowing such an overwhelming truth – that we’re loved no matter what difficulty life throws our way and God is for us – makes all the difference in the world. In this message from Psalm 139, we will learn more about the incredible power of God’s presence.

God is Always With You (Psalm 139:7-12) - Pastor Daniel Fusco

The Christian life is a journey. It leads us from our first breath to eternal glory, and all of it involves God at every step...including how we view ourselves in light of who He truly is! Psalm 139 explores deep questions about God and shows us just what kind of an amazing reality awaits those who are willing to embark on this incredible adventure with Him. Join us for Radiant, a series exploring Psalm 139, as we learn together what it really looks like to live our lives with Jesus at the center!

God Knows Everything (Psalm 139:1-6) - Pastor Daniel Fusco

When Paul met Jesus, he not only had his life rocked by the power of the gospel, he also experienced a radical renewal of his social life. As he served, traveled and ministered, he developed a few trusted friends that saw him through the most difficult seasons. More than ever, we need the same thing. According to a recent study, 67% of Americans feel lonelier than ever before. Because of the pandemic, lockdown, social unrest, and growing national divisions, many of our friendships have been tested or even dissolved. How do we, in a time when so many of us are struggling with loneliness, find true friends? How can we be good friends to others? What does it look like to forge lasting relationships in the midst of divided, hostile times?

Closer Than a Brother (Philippians 2:19-30) - Pastor Dominic Done

In our life and the lives of those we are pouring into, God always has another restoration project in mind. And we get to be part of the process! He knows that things tend to deteriorate and fade away, often including our spiritual commitments and plans. The important things can often get forgotten as we fall into the slow slide of settling for less than God’s best. In this final message from our series in the book of Nehemiah, we unpack the powerful steps that Nehemiah went through to keep his restoration project on track. Learn how to focus on what matters most, and let God go to work and do the rest!

Stay The Course (Nehemiah 12:27 - 13:31) - Pastor Daniel Fusco

The God of the Bible is covenantal, always committed to his people...and it is built on the foundation of relationship. Have you found yourself trying to make a relationship work when it's clear the other person isn't committed to the relationship? It can be a heartbreaking experience and one that needs reconciliation in order to see rehabilitation. But once those two steps are taken, there is renewal and restoration waiting on the other side! You don't have to feel like all hope is lost...in Nehemiah 10 we’re gonna discover God’s plan to help our relationships to thrive and prosper.

Seal the Covenant (Nehemiah 10-12:26) - Pastor Daniel Fusco

Each of us has experienced the brokenness of humanity over the course of our lives––in our relationships, in the world around us, and in our own hearts––and there’s something innate to the human experience that causes us to long to be whole, to love again wholeheartedly, to accept ourselves, and live for something greater. In a strange divine plot twist, God himself took on our brokenness in the person of Jesus...so that we might be made whole through his life.

Made Whole (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24) - Pastor Daniel Fusco

Fracturing is the natural progression of our world. Time, relationships, dreams––things are fragile sometimes, and we’ve all experienced it. But Jesus is the God who comes to make things whole again. When we celebrate his death and resurrection, we celebrate the reality that resurrection is part of who he IS. Only in Jesus do we find things fitting together in a way that makes us truly whole.

Jesus the King (John 18:33-38) - Pastor Daniel Fusco

Every time we learn something new, we’re faced with a decision: will we allow what we’ve learned to change us for the better? As we wrap up our crazy happy journey, we have choices to make and a will to exercise. Will we choose to walk in the Spirit and practice Jesus’ teachings in the Beatitudes? Will we let the Spirit bear his fruit in our lives? Let’s conclude our journey as a family of faith with decisions that reflect a holy intentionality.

Every time we learn something new, we're faced with a decision: will we allow what we've learned to change us for the better?

Crazy Happy Living (Galatians 5:22-23) - Pastor Daniel Fusco

One of the most amazing things about Jesus’ teaching in the Beatitudes is that Jesus gives us a system of ethics that should define our lives...and it’s an ethic that’s completely different from how our world sees ethics. It’s the ethics of the kingdom of God! As we press further into the kingdom of heaven, the Spirit begins to grow beautiful fruit in our lives. When we live into Jesus’ kingdom, not only does it make a totally counter-cultural statement to our world, it transforms our lives from the inside out.

Bearing Crazy Happy Fruit (Galatians 5:22-23) - Pastor Daniel Fusco

God’s got a plan for our lives...but God didn’t create us to be robots. He allows us all to make our own choices! And those choices carry powerful consequences –– good and not-so-good ones. How do we know the difference between good choices and better choices? How do we make the best choices? As we continue on our journey toward God’s definition of happiness, we all have some important choices to make.

Your Crazy Happy Choice (Galatians 5:16-26) - Pastor Daniel Fusco

Nobody wants to be unhappy––that would be crazy, right? In fact, inside all of us is a deep longing for something more. Something beyond ourselves. Something beautiful. And what’s even crazier is we have been missing an important truth hidden in plain sight….In one of Jesus’ most famous teachings, the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus speaks of the “blessed” person, (which can also be translated “happy”) person. But Jesus’ description of the happy person sounds crazy to our contemporary way of thinking––which is exactly why it will revolutionize your life. More on this amazing truth from Matthew 5:3-6 in this week’s Bite-Size Bible!

Matthew 5:3-6 - Who Gets to be Happy? (Crazy Happy Part 2)

Nobody wants to be unhappy––that would be crazy, right? In fact, inside all of us is a deep longing for something more. Something beyond ourselves. Something beautiful. And what’s even crazier is we may have been missing an important truth hidden in plain sight….In one of his most famous teachings, the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus speaks of the “blessed” person, which can also be translated “happy” person.

Unpacking Crazy Happy (Matthew 5:3-6) - Pastor Daniel Fusco

Doesn’t God want me to be happy?” Virtually everyone has asked this question at some point. And the answer is...yes! But God’s plan for our fulfillment looks way different than anything we would expect. This week on Bite-Size Bible, we’re starting a journey through some of the most famous passages of Scripture––the Beatitudes and the fruit of the Spirit––for the key to unlocking God’s definition of true happiness. For more on this, check out my new book, Crazy Happy, available everywhere books are sold 2/16!

Psalm 144:15 - Let’s Get Crazy Happy (Crazy Happy Part 1)

“Doesn’t God want me to be happy?” Virtually everyone has asked this question at some point. And the answer is...yes! But God’s plan for our fulfillment looks way different than anything we would expect. Join your Crossroads family for a journey through some of the most famous passages of Scripture––the Beatitudes and the fruit of the Spirit––for the key to unlocking God’s definition of true happiness, in our new series Crazy Happy!

Let’s Get Crazy Happy (Psalm 144:15) - Pastor Daniel Fusco

Everyone has goals. Everyone has dreams. Everyone has an idea of what success will look like. God also has a plan and dream for each one of us. Because God has a future and a hope for each one of us, it is always important to have an idea of what that preferred future will look like. In this message, we will explore what we see God’s plan for us to be as a church family.

Our Future (Jeremiah 29:10-14) - Pastor Daniel Fusco

When you restore a building, you start with the foundation and then work on the framework of a house, which is where everything really starts to come together, and you can see what the house is going to look like! At Crossroads, we believe God has given us our marching orders, our framework for how he wants us to function as a church...but it’s not just the framework for our church as a whole––it’s the framework for each of our lives!

Our Framework (Acts 2:42-47) - Pastor Daniel Fusco

When it seems like everything is changing or shaken up in a way you weren’t expecting, it’s important to go back to the foundation. Back to what you know is true. Back to who you know you are. Back to who you know God is. As we move forward in a new year, with all that happened in 2020 still heavy on our minds and hearts, let’s remind ourselves of our foundation––who God is and who we are as a result.

Our Foundation (Matthew 7:24-27) - Pastor Daniel Fusco

Although we’re embarking on a new year (and let’s be real –– we’re relieved to head into 2021, right?),  we can’t deny how much the events of 2020 disrupted all of our lives in tons of different ways. We’re still dealing with the effects of all that happened! At Crossroads, we know God wants to do a unique work of restoration in us individually and as a church family in this new year, and we’re seeking his heart and his will for what’s next. Are you in?
