Audio Messages & Sermon Series - Crosswinds, Plainfield, IL

This is part 4 of our series Forward in Faith and Faithfulness. The mission of Crosswinds Church is : Helping every Family, discover God, His love and His ways. Our mission is based on two statements by Jesus. One what Jesus said was the great commandment of God (Mark 12:29-31) and Jesus great commission (Matthew 28:18-20) which gives the church its purpose in every generation . In this part of the series we look at the word "Discover" in our mission statement. As Jesus disciples we need to help people discover the treasure of God's promises found in His Gospel, in this message we look at what the Bible says about how we need to discover God and help others to discover Him too.

This message centers on the resurrection of Jesus as the foundation of living hope, contrasting it with superficial hopes rooted in money, health, reputation, or religion. It emphasizes that Jesus’ empty tomb is a historical fact that transcends cultural shifts and intellectual objections, giving believers unshakable confidence in God’s promises.

Paul introduces Timothy and Epaphroditus in Philippians 2:19-30 as examples of ordinary people whose lives were shaped by the grace of Jesus into lives of genuine concern, faithful service, humility, and sacrifice. Rather than asking, "What can I get?" they lived by asking, "How can I serve Christ by serving others?" The message challenges us to allow God's grace to reshape our time, relationships, resources, gifts, and priorities so that our lives increasingly reflect Jesus.

Philippians 2:12–18 challenges believers to live out the salvation God has already given them—not to earn salvation, but as a response to God’s work within them. Paul teaches that because God is actively working in us, our lives should be marked by humble obedience, gratitude rather than grumbling, and a willingness to serve others even when nobody is watching.

In Philippians 2:1–11, Paul challenges believers to allow Christ to transform not only what they do, but how they think, especially in a culture that encourages self-promotion, comparison, status, and personal achievement.

This is part of our series titled: Inner Life, a journey through the book of Philippians. This message is based on Philippians 1:18-26

This message is part of our series called: Inner Life, a journey through the book of Philippians. This sermon is based on Philippians 1:12-18. Pastor Ken Schultz teaches that like Paul, whose imprisonment advanced the gospel among Caesar's elite guards, our hardest circumstances become our greatest witness when Christ lives within us.

Based on Philippians 1:1-11 Paul wrote the letter to the Philippians while imprisoned, yet his life overflowed with joy because his confidence rested in Christ rather than his circumstances. This message reminds us that true victory begins in our inner life, where our identity is found in being servants of Jesus, partners in the gospel, and recipients of God's unfailing grace.
