"The Early Disciples" | May 4, 2025 | Ps Joel Lowery
by Amber George on May 6th, 2025
In this powerful message, we're challenged to become an 'Empowered Church' by examining the early disciples in the book of Acts. The story of Stephen, a man full of faith and the Holy Spirit, teaches us that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. We're reminded that it's not about titles or positions, but about being filled with the Spirit and wisdom. The key lesson is that God wants to do the supernatural through our natural selves - using our strengths, weaknesses, and even our struggles for His glory. As we surrender fully to God, saying 'I'm all in,' we open ourselves to be used in miraculous ways. This message encourages us to step out in faith, ready to face persecution if necessary, and to always respond in a Christ-like manner. It's a call to move beyond comfort and truly turn our world upside down for the Kingdom of God.  Read More

"Bold Obedience" | January 26, 2025 | Ps Joel Lowery
by Amber George on January 26th, 2025
In this powerful message, we're challenged to embrace bold obedience in our walk with God. Drawing from Acts 5, we see how the apostles faced opposition yet remained faithful to their calling. This story reminds us that when we step out in faith, we often encounter resistance, but it's precisely in these moments that God's miracles are released. The central theme encourages us to understand that our responsibility is obedience, while the results are God's domain. We're prompted to reflect on areas in our lives where we might be delaying or partially obeying God's call. The message emphasizes that true faith often requires risk and stepping into waters that are over our heads. As we contemplate this, we're invited to consider: Where is God calling us to be boldly obedient today? How might our lives and our world change if we fully embraced God's call, regardless of the opposition we might face?  Read More

"Bold Prayers" | January 12, 2025 | Ps Joel Lowery
by Crossroads Church on January 14th, 2025
In this powerful message, we're challenged to embrace boldness in our prayer lives. Drawing from Acts 4 and 5, we see how the early church responded to opposition with fervent, united prayer. Their first instinct wasn't to strategize or celebrate their release, but to seek God's face together. This reminds us that our initial response to challenges should be prayer, not just action. The early believers prayed for two things: boldness to speak God's word and for miracles to be performed. This teaches us that our prayers often reflect our view of God. Are we praying small, safe prayers or are we boldly asking God to move in miraculous ways? We're encouraged to pray in a way that, when answered, could only be attributed to God's power. This message urges us to step out of our comfort zones and pray with audacity, believing in a God who can do the impossible. It's a call to align our prayers with God's perspective rather than our own self-centered desires.  Read More
