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.

Discussing the culture of Crosswinds Church.

The Bible is a book that is honest about suffering. We will all go through suffering, but it gives an eternal hope that the seasons of suffering we go through in life will one day be replaced with joy. Both believers and unbelievers go through tough times, but the difference for believers are that we can have hope in it.

The Bible, God's Word is like a rock, we often do not appreciate it in our modern cultures. But It will stand forever through all times, in good and bad times. This message is a topical message about God's Word and what it means to us as Christians.

This message is a topical message on Baptism, it answers the question, Why Baptism? Biblically Baptism has 4 elements, 1. water, 2. In the name of the trinity, 3. By immersion and 4. After repentance and faith in Christ. We look to the Bible to see what this means for the believer.

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.
