One thing that we learn from the scriptures is that God is immutable. God does not change. The new generation of young people have seen rapid change in things like the way we communicate and the family structure. 1 out of 5 of our teens, well before the legal age of consent, are already identifying themselves with various sexual identities. And many churches today have added to this confusion in an effort to appease society they have reconstructed the Bible. There are eternal and unchanging truths that guide us, that have been given to us by our creator. In this message we look at what Jesus says to us, words that are unchanging truths to any culture.

Just like Jesus got ridiculed by His audience after the parable in Luke 16, the church often gets ridiculed when we talk about money, like that is all the church cares about. But that is definitely true at Crosswinds! One of the reasons why people object to the church preaching about money is because there are some churches that preach a false gospel of prosperity. It is true that you can’t outgive God. If you give to Him, he will give to you much more in return, not necessarily more money, that is prosperity teaching, but rather more eternal blessings.

The parable in Luke 16 about Shrewd Manager can be a confusing one. At first glance it may appear as though Jesus is approving of the manager's dishonest behavior. Jesus is not giving any approval here for dishonesty or corruption, instead He is trying to teach us something about how we should manage our lives with integrity.

Joshua Amara from Kenya spoke about the importance of prayer and how the Bible not only calls us to pray but teaches that we need to pray. Prayer is a duty and an obligation for us all, but we also need to be careful about the words we choose to use when we pray. Prayer needs to be relational to commune with the Father.

This is our final part in the You turn to joy series. This series is on the parables in Luke 15. This part of the series focuses on the last part of the parable of the Prodigal son and draws our attention to the older brother. While the younger prodigal brother was wasteful with early wealth, the older brother is wasting something so much more valuable - true eternal treasure.

Coming to yourself is a great gift! But many of us have to go through great pain to finally get there. Often it causes a lot of pain to others in our lives before we get there. The message Come to yourself is part of the series, You Turn to Joy, that delves deeper into the parables of Luke 15. In this message we specifically look at the Prodigal son parable in Luke 15:17 - 24, when the prodigal son realizes that he needs to go back to the Father.

Part of our series, You turn to Joy, that delves deeper into the parables in Luke 15. This part of the series looks at the first part of the parable of the Prodigal Son. This story speaks of God's fierce love for us and our own brokenness.

People say seeing is believing! But it is much more complicated. We must see enough to overcome our doubts to believe. Actually we don't have to physically see something to believe it, for example we do not have to see the wind to believe that it exists. We see the effects of the wind, but we never really see the wind, yet we know it exists. In this Easter message we look at the resurrection in John 20: 1 - 18 and we see three of Jesus' close friends and disciples that had doubts about the resurrection. Each had to see more until they believed.

Palm Sunday Message on the story of Jesus coming into town on the back of a donkey in Matthew 21. In this message we think of ourselves as the donkey that Jesus has need of. We learn from God's word how we can be faithfully untied as a donkey to be of service to Him.

Part of our You turn to joy series on the parables in Luke 15. This part of the series looks at the woman who lost one of her coins and reminds us that we are never forgotten by God.
