Discover how God calls His people to step out in courage, not by striving harder, but by trusting deeper.

Stuck at the gate, watching the delays stack up, wondering when life is finally going to get moving. When will things change with your relationships, your family, your work, your faith? On Palm Sunday, Jesus rides into Jerusalem and answers that question with a resounding now. In this message from Matthew 21, we explore the triumphal entry not just as a historical moment, but as a declaration about the kind of King Jesus is, and what that means for every area of your life. He's the King from above (sovereign over all creation and time), the King from below (who comes humbly to meet you in your lowest moments), and the King within (calling you to the deepest allegiance of your heart). Whether you're limping into this season, longing for a breakthrough, or simply asking who is this Jesus? — this sermon is for you. We've all felt it, that restless itch of waiting.

In Part 5, we explore what it means to live as God’s people in the midst of shifting cultural tides. Rather than withdrawing, copying, or simply critiquing the culture around us, this message challenges us to step forward with purpose—embracing a calling to lead with humility, live in deep connection with one another, and walk with unshakable confidence in God’s ultimate victory. Through Peter’s final exhortation, we’re reminded that we are not alone, not without purpose, and not without hope. Even in seasons of pressure, uncertainty, or opposition, God is forming a people who will flourish—anchored in His grace and sent out to reflect His glory. Whether you’ve been with us through the whole series or are just tuning in, this final message invites you to stand firm, step forward, and discover how God is calling you to live as a faithful presence in the world today.

Walking through 1 Peter 4, this message invites us to rethink how we approach pain, hardship, and opposition. Rather than avoiding or rushing past suffering, we’re called to expect it, examine it, and ultimately see it through the lens of Jesus Himself. What if the very things we try to escape are actually where God is doing some of His deepest work? This teaching explores how suffering can refine our faith, reveal what’s happening in our hearts, and draw us into a deeper relationship with Christ, who not only understands our pain, but entered into it for us. Along the way, we’re reminded to keep loving, serving, and trusting God, even when life feels overwhelming. If you’re navigating difficulty or wondering how God can use hardship for good, this message offers both clarity and hope—pointing us to a Savior who meets us in the fire and walks with us through it.

In Part 3 of our series, To the Elect Exiles, we continue walking through 1 Peter and explore what it means to remain faithful when it feels like we’re living behind enemy lines. Drawing from 1 Peter 3, this message looks at three biblical “survival guides” for believers navigating a challenging culture. Through the examples of Sarah, David, and Noah, we learn how God calls His people to live submissively, shamelessly, and securely. trusting His protection, standing firm in hope, and resting in the victory of Christ. Even in difficult passages and changing times, the gospel reminds us that Jesus has already secured our rescue. As elect exiles, we can live with courage, humility, and confidence in the hope we have in Him. Listen in as we continue this journey through 1 Peter and discover how to stand firm in faith, no matter the circumstances.

In this message, we continue our series To the Elect Exiles, walking through 1 Peter’s call to stand firm in shifting times. Drawing from Peter’s own story of failure and restoration, this sermon explores what it means to find a better belonging in Christ and to live with humble, honorable courage in the world. Rather than scrambling for acceptance or reacting in panic, we’re reminded that our identity is secure—we are being built together on Christ, our cornerstone. Come listen and be encouraged to stand steady, live distinctively, and trust the Shepherd who holds His people fast, even in changing tides.

In this message launching our new series through 1 Peter, we’re invited to learn from Peter as he writes to believers facing increasing hostility and exile. This sermon explores how suffering doesn’t have to weaken faith, it can actually strip away false identities and strengthen what is most true. When everything else is shaken, our identity in Christ becomes clearer, and our call to holiness becomes sharper. Rather than panic at changing times, we’re called to stand firm in the true grace of God, trusting that even in exile, He is refining, strengthening, and preparing His people for lasting witness.

This message reminds us that the Lord’s Supper proclaims the heart of the gospel: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again, and that weekly worship shapes us for everyday faithfulness. At Christ’s Table, we don’t just remember; we receive grace that forms and sustains real transformation.

In this message, we continue our Liturgy for Life: Transformational Encounters with Jesus series by looking closely at Peter’s confession in John 6: “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” This sermon explores how worship forms us over time, shaping not just our Sundays but the rhythms of our entire lives. Through Peter’s ongoing encounter with Jesus, we learn what it means to stop using Jesus for what He can give us and instead come to Him for who He is. The message unpacks prayer, the Word, surrender, and trust as practices that reorient our hearts, teaching us to go to Jesus to be and go to Jesus to become.

This sermon explores how the gospel-shaped rhythms of worship, especially confession and the assurance of pardon, are meant to form us, not just on Sundays but throughout the whole of life. As Jesus moves Nicodemus from darkness into the light, we’re invited to see the danger of hidden sin, the freedom of being truly known, and the deep transformation that comes from trusting Christ. Come listen and be reminded that confession isn’t meant to condemn us, but to lead us into healing, freedom, and renewed trust in the grace of Jesus.

In this sermon from John 4, we step into Jesus’ surprising encounter with the woman at the well and discover a God who actively seeks us and then sends us with purpose. Through the rhythm of liturgy, from the call to worship to the final benediction, we are formed into people who worship in spirit and truth and are prepared for a life of meaning, mission, and transformation.

Or do we just recycle good intentions year after year? In this message from John 3:25–30, we continue our Liturgy for Life: Transformational Encounters with Jesus series by turning to John the Baptist and his powerful declaration: “He must increase, but I must decrease.” This sermon explores why our lives so often stall in transformation, how our affections are divided and at war within us, and how Jesus reorders our loves through worship, humility, and joy. As John points away from himself and toward Christ, we’re invited to discover how true change becomes inevitable when our lives are grounded in God, oriented toward His glory, and shaped by the greater love that drives out all lesser loves.

In this sermon from John 5, we encounter Jesus at the pool of Bethesda, where He steps into deep hopelessness, confronts false beliefs hidden beneath our routines, and offers true transformation through the New Covenant. This message shows how Jesus exposes our reliance on works-based change and replaces it with heart-level renewal rooted in His grace. As the gospel story is retold, we see that transformation is not only possible—it is inevitable for those who encounter Christ, even when circumstances don’t improve, because God is faithfully at work shaping us into His image.

As the New Humanity (all who have put their Faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ’s Justifying and Sanctifying work for us) we need Psalms like this to help us as we face the brokenness, evil and injustice in this fallen world. It is also vital for us to remember that God’s first concern is not what everyone else is doing but what the people he rescued, who have received his signs and seals and professed to be united to him by faith. https://www.kingscrosscypress.org/sermons/sermon/2023-07-02/409/a-people-of-justice Sun, 2 Jul 2023 11:30:00 -0400 From the Heavens to the Heart https://www.kingscrosscypress.org/sermons/sermon/2023-06-25/from-the-heavens-to-the-heart Psalm 19 moves us from the glories of the heavens above to the renewing and reviving words of the Scriptures all with the goal of transforming the human heart.

So what Paul says is profound and addresses us having a STEADFAST FAITH rather than a presumptive or performative faith. Paul had clearly taught and preached on this topic to the Thessalonians in his brief time with them and he didn’t shy away or use God’s love as an excuse for unrighteous living nor did he beat them down leaving them feeling hopeless. He instead showed them Love, Faith and Hope were all directly connected to what God had done, and was doing and what he would do in this Present Age and in the Age to Come. So Paul, having already shown us the value and beauty of a Steadfast Love and Hope turns to point us towards maintaining a STEADFAST FAITH.

Paul, as an ambassador of the Kingdom of Heaven had come to Thessalonica to bring the liberating message of the Gospel to establish a new people living in the new way to be human. Paul, focused from the beginning of the letter on the Love of God for those who had believed and now turns to call them to love God and others as they had been loved. Paul is calling them to a Steadfast love. How can we have this steadfast love? Let’s lean in and hear what Paul has to say.

In order to remain steadfast in our ministry as individuals and as a Church we must keep our eyes on the prize of Jesus and his Gospel being aware of the difficulties, dangers and even opposition we will face. Paul, here in I Thessalonians lays out for us both what is essential for us to do to be engaged in ministry but also what enables us to be effective and enduring in our ministry. In other words Paul shows us how to remain Steadfast.

This is what Paul writes to encourage these new believers about. And if we are willing his message can help and encourage us as well.
