Audio Messages & Sermon Series - Crosswinds, Plainfield, IL

In this week’s message "No Junk for Jesus," Pastor Ken encourages the Church to give the best themselves to God in 2010. We are to pour out our lives for the one who poured our His life for us. That worshiping at Jesus feet is our primary Joy and what gives us the strength to Love our neighbors.

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.

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 1:26-30

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.
