Audio Messages & Sermon Series - Crosswinds, Plainfield, IL

Have you been undone?! Are you ready to serve?! Are you a stump?! Today we learn from Isaiah Chapter 6 how to accept the call of God and serve Him as an Ambassador of Christ.

The best example of authority is how our physical bodies respond to our head. In today’s message, we see how the body of Christ functions in relation to its head, Jesus. The D.N.A. that hold the body together is love expressed perfectly in the will of God. When the body operates by the authority of the body, the whole body is enriched by the grace of gifts God supplies.

In Today’s message we discuss how being in submission to God strengthens a family. A wife submitting to God shows the gospel to the world! A husband loving his wife unconditionally also shows the gospel to the world. Jesus shows us the way as He submits to the Father to save us all.

In Today’s message we look the importance of the authority of God. The direct authority of His word and the delegated authority that He gives - Authority to protect us and teach us to become obedient servants. His word says that obedience is better than sacrifice.

Is artificial intelligence evil? That is the question Pastor Ken took on Sunday — and his answer was not a tech lecture. It was a walk through Matthew 15, where religious leaders confronted Jesus over something that looked scandalous on the surface: his disciples eating bread with unwashed hands. Jesus flipped the argument upside down. It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth (Matthew 15:11). Mark 7:20-23 says it even more bluntly — evil comes from within, out of the heart.

The scripture is Philippians 4:14-23 — Paul's closing words to a church that had supported him while he sat in prison. On the surface, it sounds like a polite "thanks for the cash." But Paul does something remarkable with it. He borrows the language of a business ledger ("credited to your account," "paid in full," "well supplied") and turns it into a picture of friendship. These believers weren't patrons buying influence, and Paul wasn't a client on the payroll. They were partners in the gospel.

In Philippians 4:1–3, Paul urges believers to stand firm in the Lord and calls Euodia and Syntyche to agree in Him, teaching us that Christian unity is more important than winning every argument. Unity does not mean agreeing on everything, but choosing love, humility, forgiveness and the mission of the gospel over personal opinions and the need to be right.

Paul in Philippians 3:12-21 reminds us that we have not yet “arrived,” but are called to press on toward Christ, refusing to let our past, failures, circumstances, or pursuit of perfection keep us stuck. Because Christ has already made us His own, we do not run to earn salvation—we run from a position of grace, keeping our eyes on the heavenly goal and remembering that our citizenship is in heaven.
