Cross Pointe Church Sermons

In one of the most famous stories Jesus ever told, He shows us why if we have the heart of God, we will have a heart for one - for that one person in our life who doesn’t know God, that one person who needs to hear the gospel, that one person who is...

What will people be saying about you after you are gone? What impact and influence will outlive you and outlast you? We all want to be able to look back on our life with no remorse, no regret, and no retreat. In today’s sermon, Pastor Merritt answers...

One of the biggest philosophical and metaphysical questions that has been asked throughout history is, “Is there life after death?”.  In today's sermon, Pastor Merritt answers an even bigger question: “Is there life after birth?”. Not just...

We all worship and love something or someone above everything else. Nobody worships nothing, everybody worships something, and anybody can determine what God they worship and what Lord they love. In today’s sermon, Pastor Merritt addresses the...

The story of Jesus washing feet is found in John 13. As amazed as the disciples obviously were of Jesus washing dirty feet, they thought that was all Jesus did. There was a far deeper meaning and deeper message to to what Jesus did, because He was not...

Fasting is something we honestly know very little about and we don't practice it very much. We know a lot about feasting, but we don't know a lot about fasting. In today's sermon, Pastor Merritt will discuss two things we should do with...

We know we ought to be a unified body of believers, all rowing in the same direction, but we can’t seem to do what it takes. Does Paul leave us out to dry? No, he doesn’t. Throughout the rest of the passage, from verses 5-11, Paul gives one of the...

Pastor Merritt details three aspects of the Christmas gift of Jesus during our Christmas Eve services for 2021.

Love is just as essential to human life as air, food, and water and that is by the way of observable fact, but what the world calls love and what God calls love oftentimes is different. Truth be told, we don’t love as often as we should. We don’t love...

In a New Testament book called Titus, in the second chapter, I want to show you where you can not just find that kind of hope, but where you can safely put your hope. The Bible word “hope” means “certainty”—not possibly, not probably, but surely. A...

At first glance you might think faith is not even a gift that you need, because really every day faith is something that we all have and something we all exercise. There is a faith that can connect you eternally with the God who made you. There is a...

The problem with money and wealth and stuff is not that you have it, but where you might put it. The key phrase here are the two words, “on earth.” Jesus is not dealing with having stuff, but storing stuff. The issue is not what you are laying up, but...

Because of three things: the scripture, the Spirit, and the Son we can talk to God face-to-face. We can come into his presence through his Son and we can hear his voice when the Spirit speaks to us through his word, but you’ve got to give God a chance...

The people of Israel had been treating God like a heavenly bellhop expecting him to be at their every beck and call and give them everything they wanted when they wanted it. When Moses had lingered on that mountaintop meeting with God, they decide...

Throughout Christian history, there has been great debate over this verse. Jesus heard from the disciples’ own mouths what the people and surrounding culture thought of Him. Now, it was time for him to turn to his own disciples. This truth was not...

If you are too busy to meet with the Lord you are too busy. Your number one priority every day of your life should be to make time for the Lord and take time with the Lord. You cannot go where you need to go in life if you do not go with God and you...

If you feel like me sometimes you feel like you are all stressed up and you’ve got no place to go. Moses had a moment and a meeting that didn’t just change his life, but it literally saved his life and helped him complete his tasks. It is not only...

Whether you are barely making the end of the month meet the end of the money or you are set for life, every single person on this planet lives hand to mouth. What do I mean? We all live from God’s hand to our mouth. You have to wonder why God let his...

If you live long enough you will have Red Sea moments when it looks like there is no way out, no way up, and everything leads to failure and defeat. The same God that came through for Moses and the nation of Israel is alive and well and wants to come...

Don’t beat around the bush with God. When I surrender to God’s plan, and live for God’s purpose, I will walk in God’s presence and work in God’s power, and I will get the blessing and God will get the glory. What Moses had to understand was it didn’t...
