Crossroads Bible Church Podcast

Are you on an up? Are you on a down? Have you bailed on Jesus? Guess who else did? Peter. He was one of the very best friends of Jesus, and he had some major ups and downs. He walked on water, chopped off an ear, and managed to deny Christ. Maybe you aren't so crazy after all. Maybe you just need to keep following Jesus, no matter what. Check out this sermon by Pastor Chad Everett to discover how Peter experienced victory and defeat, and how we can encounter Jesus in our own ups and downs of everyday life.

Did you know you can come to Jesus in a mess, broken, crazed and in chains? And He can set you free? That's what happened with a man named Legion. You can find his story beginning in Luke 8:26. Where does your story begin? With disappointment? Loss? Failure? It doesn't matter, Jesus will pursue you and wants to encounter you in a big way. Discover that you don't have to be defined by your sins. Find your story can change forever in this practical message by Chad Everett

There is a real world with real stories. Not all of them are clean and shiny and happen in a church. Your story is so much more than a moment, an event, a circumstance, or a perfectly staged selfie. Maybe what you are doing now is not really who you are? In this first installment of "Your Story-More Than A Post", we take a look at Rahab. A harlot? A hero of faith? Check out this message and see what it looks like to not be defined by who you are but convinced of better things ahead. No matter where you are in life, you have a story, and it can be better than you ever imagined through Jesus Christ. Just ask our friend, Benjamin Bolin, as he shares his story in a short video testimony. What's YOUR story?

The final installment by Chad Everett of "Holy Spirit: A Difference Maker" This series takes us through the bible with solid scriptures to reinforce why we need this power in our lives. Receiving the Holy Spirit is as simple as receiving Jesus at salvation. God's design is for us to walk in these mysteries, this power and this revelation. Discover how exciting and truly life changing it can be when the Holy Spirit breathes into our lives and we experience the benefits in everyday living.

Waiting for the “A-Ha!”, the “I Have Arrived”, the “I Did The Thing” moments of life? Promise Bradley tells us they are few and far between. In this real world message, uncover the truth about transitions, seasons & the journey along the way. Its not about arriving, its about trusting the Great Shepherd in the face of disappointment, grief and hard times. We are created for transition and we go from glory to glory when we fix our eyes on Jesus.

God wants to make sure His people are full of hope. In every season of life, during the lows & the transitions, Jesus is the way maker. He wants to touch your dreams & the dead places in your life with His power. Any area of our lives that is not glistening with hope is under the influence of a lie. Pull down the strongholds by the word of God and watch hope arise in your life.

At Life Impact International, our vision is to impact our world, one life at a time with the love and power of Jesus Christ! Hear this powerful, prophetic message from Lana Vasques as she and her team display love through practical humanitarian aid services such as children’s homes for children at risk, starting and supporting orphanages and hostels, feeding programs for the poor, relief and development works, and helping the hurting within the social context of the culture and country (i.e. the oppressed women and children of Pakistan, the refugees and displaced peoples along the Thailand/Burma border, and the oppressed people inside Burma). We believe that by demonstrating love, people will be open to the power of Jesus Christ, which is the second arm of the ministry. The Roads Church is a long-time supporter of this amazing outreach.

Holy Spirit...a different LANGUAGE. The promise of Holy Spirit by Jesus is a promise of power you can see AND hear. Demonstrations of speaking in tongues might seem weird, but it is explained in the Bible and unpacked in this message by Chad Everett. The heavenly language between God and man builds our faith & downloads mysteries. Get charged up to pray in power. Holy Spirit changes our language and makes a difference in everyday life.

Did you know there are different kinds of baptism? And they are documented in all four of the gospels? Take a look at what Jesus says in the Bible. Look past denominations and differences. Find out the process and the power in this message by Chad Everett.

When we are born again and enter into a relationship with Jesus, we are no longer limited to what we can do. With the power of the Holy Spirit and the promises of God's word, we can live a life beyond our limits and experience what it means to walk in God's plans, purposes and power. Go beyond your limits in this exciting message with Youth Pastor of The Roads Church, Chris Pollard

The process of following changes us. The pursuit of Jesus challenges us. The Holy Spirit makes a difference in our priorities, and when God calls us, we can drop our "nets" of what is comfortable and familiar. A spirit led life calls us to leave old things behind and embrace new paths that lead to powerful priorities.

The Holy Spirit is a great teacher. By learning how to frame the world with our words, we can walk in greater understanding of God's plan for our lives. The Holy Spirit is a gentle, loving teacher who shows us there is a difference between conviction and condemnation. In this series you will discover the righteousness & authority we have in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.

The beginning of a new series (and a new haircut!) Holy Spirit: A Difference Maker takes a look at how Holy Spirit will make a difference in your position, your power AND your patience. God has a kingdom purpose attached to you, and the power of this difference maker makes all the difference.

In this 5 part benchmark series, this is final message. This is the recap of the navigational route of Crossroads Bible Church to The Roads Church. In all of our lives, we are assigned to connect people with Jesus. We have the ministry of reconciliation and live a legacy of faith. Being developed as leaders and impacting culture will forever change the game in individual lives and beyond.

The "Game Changer" became the "name changer" in this benchmark message. Chad Everett reflects on the history, the word of God & the specific prophetic instructions to this body of believers over the years. The legacy of faith was mapped out in this historic message. Going forward, Crossroads will now be called "The Roads Church". Our assignment is to connect people, develop leaders & impact culture in this region and beyond. "Connecting people with Jesus from all roads of life” is the navigational route of The Roads. Join us as we journey together.

Game Changers overcome fear by focusing on favor. They believe more than what they see with their natural eyes. They dwell in expectancy. They remember where they came from and focus on the power of God instead of their own ability. In this second chapter of the Game Changer saga, Pastor Chad Everett reminds us that who we are is more important than who we were, and how important it is to partner with God to accomplish the impossible.

What is a "game changer"? It's something that shifts the way of thinking and doing. Keys to being a game changer include clarity, creativity & constancy. Pastor Chad Everett encourages us to know our purpose, our "why", and change the game for the kingdom of God in every area of life.

Check Your Receiver! In this final message of the 5 part series, we are checking to make sure our "receiver" is turned on! God is transmitting His signals to us. Jesus finished his work on the cross and it it up to us to make sure we know of His great love for us. Just receive everything He intends for us. It truly is finished, and we can walk as sons and daughters knowing that God really loves us.

It Is Finished! Taste for Yourself! In part 4 of this service, Pastor Chad Everett unpacks the fact that Jesus prepared EVERYTHING we could ever need with His own redemption and grace. There are rewards and promises prepared for us, we just have to receive and take action for that encounter to happen. Just one example is how we use a gift card. As heirs of the promise, we get to taste the benefits when we walk with Jesus and show up for the encounter.

Youth Pastor Chris Pollard picks up where Chad left off! With signature humor and enthusiasm, listen as we learn to raise our expectations. Jesus set the standard in His love for us on the cross. Sometimes we live far beneath the plans and purposes that God has for us. Live in anticipation of great things. Don't be limited by your current conditions. God wants us to raise our expectations. Embrace the higher reality of what Jesus died to give us.
