Pastor Bruce Garner // Easter Celebration Service

Pastor Bruce Garner // Sunday, March 28, 2021 WHAT WE SEE AT THE CROSS In the next section of Luke's gospel the entire world conspires against Jesus: Who is He? What has He done? Who will believe Him? All these questions are hurled at Jesus. His answers put His identity, authority and His LOVE beyond doubt!

Pastor Bruce Garner // Sunday, March 21, 2021 THE APOSTLE PETER IS CRACKING UNDER PRESSURE This Sunday we will watch a slowly unfolding tragedy in the last hours Jesus had with His disciples. At the heart of the events is a lesson that every Christian struggles to learn. Some never do. Read Luke 22 carefully once more and come ready to worship at 9:00 or 10:30a.

Pastor Bruce Garner // Sunday, March 14, 2021 In Luke 22, the Bible tells us that the disciples argued at the Last Supper. How Jesus responded is the most countercultural, hard to believe, and important truth you may ever hear if you want your life to count here and in eternity. Read Luke 22 again and ponder the argument. Then join us in person or online this Sunday at 9:00 or 10:30 AM. CrossPoint Church: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crosspointh...

Pastor Bruce Garner // Sunday, March 7, 2021 THE LORD'S SUPPER IS RICH IN MEANING We've been following Jesus through the gospel of Luke for a long time. Now He is approaching the cross, and before dying He invited His disciples to a Passover meal. What He taught them there connects the Bible from the second book (Exodus) to the last (Revelation.) If we can see the lessons of the Last Supper to heart, it will change how we take it together. It will also comfort our hearts in times of suffering.

Pastor Bruce Garner // What Jesus Told Us to Do in the Last Days Jesus told us exactly what to do in the last days! Our lives will be better and, more importantly, He will be pleased if we do what He says. Read Luke 21 slowly and come ready to worship this Sunday. Luke 21:5-38 is a prophetic teaching from Jesus with two distinct judgments in view. See if you can tell them apart in the passage!

Pastor Bruce Garner // Sunday, February 21, 2021 JESUS AT THE OFFERING BOX We are approaching the end of the gospel of Luke and after condemning the predatory religious leaders that were attacking Him in the Temple, Jesus saw something that prompted one of the most poignant lessons in the New Testament. If the disciples of Jesus will take Him at His word, it will change our behavior and attitude at a fundamental level. Read Luke 21 and I hope to see you on Sunday!

Pastor Bruce Garner // Sunday, February 14, 2021 PUTTING JESUS ON THE SPOT AGAIN In the next section of Luke 20, Jesus is cornered again - this time by the political elite. They have a hard question regarding the resurrection. His answer makes all the difference. Read Luke 20:27-47, and Sunday I will tell you how trusting Jesus with the future can make such a big difference to your life right now.

Pastor Bruce Garner // Sunday, February 7, 2021 LUKE: GOD VS. GOVERNMENT? Once again I am struck by the timeliness of the next passage in our journey through the Gospel of Luke. In Luke chapter 20, men who hated Jesus tried to trap him with a question about politics. (!) The wisdom of His answer silenced His critics then and can heal division now.

Pastor Bruce Garner // Sunday, January 31, 2021 HARD QUESTIONS FOR JESUS As we continue walking with Jesus through the Gospel of Luke, the religious authorities really pour on the pressure. Read Luke 20 and you’ll see what I mean. We could not have planned it this way, but what is coming up in the gospel of Luke could not be any more timely. Our greatest need and the best gift we can offer the world is to be disciples of Jesus. The stakes could not be any higher. Let’s follow Jesus.

Pastor Bruce Garner // Sunday, January 24, 2021 ALL EYES ON JESUS Sunday, we return to the gospel of Luke to see people thronging Jesus as He enters Jerusalem at last. All eyes are on Him and many personal agendas are represented in the crowd. What Jesus did could not be more timely or comforting. Read Luke 19 and join us online or in person this Sunday at 9:00 or 10:30! CrossPoint Church: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crosspointh...

Pastor Byron Morales, Jr. // Sunday, January 17, 2021 ONE GENERATION AWAY For years Christian leaders have warned that we are always one generation away from abandoning the faith. Recent events and current trends tell me that this is more than sensationalism. That’s why I’m so excited that our youth pastor, Byron Morales, will be preaching on Sunday. We need to hear from the next generation of pastors as they open God’s Word and tell us how together we can pass on the faith and love of Jesus to our children and grandchildren. Pastor Byron will be preaching about discipleship! CrossPoint Church: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crosspointh...

Pastor Bruce Garner // Sunday, January 10, 2021 CONTENTMENT: CONTENTMENT VS. CASH (PART 3) We will worship. We will pray. We will hear God's Word. I'd love for you to read 1 Timothy 6 before you join us. Together, we will continue to seek what eludes the world - contentment. If ever we've needed to cultivate contentment, it is now.

Pastor Bruce Garner // Sunday, January 3, 2021 CONTENTMENT vs. INJUSTICE Is it possible to be content when things aren’t right? When bad people seem to be getting away with it? When you have been mistreated? These are hard questions, but they are addressed at length in the Bible. As we continue our study of contentment, I’d love for you to read and ponder Psalm 73 before Sunday, then join us with an open heart at 9:00 or 10:30a, in person or online.

Pastor Bruce Garner // Sunday, December 27, 2020 I am very excited to share a three-part series on CONTENTMENT. How can we deal with suffering? Injustice? The desire for more money and belongings? The answer is found in Christ and Scripture, so make plans to join us on the Sunday AFTER Christmas. To get ready, I'd love for you to read the book of Philippians before Sunday, and really focus on chapter 4.

Pastor Bruce Garner // Christmas Eve 2020

Pastor Bruce Garner // Sunday, December 20, 2020 THE WOMEN IN THE STORY This Sunday I’ll show you some small but purposeful details in the birth story of Jesus that will give you HOPE. Have you ever been desperate? Mistreated? Ashamed? It is for people such as us that Jesus was born, lived, died, and rose again. If anyone you know is having a difficult time (who ISN’T these days?) ask them to come with you or join us online.

Pastor Bruce Garner // Sunday, December 13, 2020 MIND... BLOWN! Years ago I was suddenly struck by a truth about Jesus that should have been obvious to me much earlier. It had to do with His nature. You see, throughout the history of Christianity, doubts and attacks have been raised against Jesus. Some are about His deity. Others are about His humanity. If you lose either, you have lost Him - your only hope in life and in death. Sunday, I want to explain to you why the humanity of Jesus matters so much. I’ll share with you the amazing truth that was so slow to dawn on me. I’m always excited to open the Bible with you, but this Sunday, I am more excited than usual. I hope you’ll come worship with us and invite a friend! CrossPoint Church: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crosspointh...

Pastor Bruce Garner // Sunday, December 6, 2020 WHY DOES CHRISTMAS MATTER? This year we may more easily identify with the longing of the people who witnessed the arrival of the Son of God in the world. Before Sunday, Read John 1:1-18 several times. Ponder verse 18 in particular. It is astonishing. I will try to tell you all about it on Sunday in our 9:00 and 10:30a services. CrossPoint Church: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crosspointh...
