"Answering God's Call" | July 6, 2025 | Eric Ward
by Amber George on July 7th, 2025
In our exploration of 'Crossroads at the Movies,' we discover how God speaks to us through unexpected mediums, even animated films like 'The Wild Robot.' This story beautifully illustrates the challenges we face when answering God's call. Just as Roz and Brightbill had to overcome their programming and negative beliefs, we too must confront our own limitations and the world's discouraging voices. The key message reminds us that fulfilling God's purpose often requires us to push beyond our comfort zones and natural instincts. Philippians 4:8 encourages us to focus our thoughts on what is true, honorable, and praiseworthy - a powerful strategy for overcoming obstacles. By surrounding ourselves with supportive community and filling our minds with God's truth, we can, like the characters in the film, not only fulfill our calling but also become a blessing to others. This story challenges us to identify what God is calling us to and to courageously step into that purpose, knowing that our obedience can unlock blessings for ourselves and our community.  Read More

"Overcoming Obstacles" | February 16, 2025 | Ps Joel Lowery
by Amber George on February 16th, 2025
In our journey of faith, we're called to connect deeply with God and His family. This message challenges us to examine our priorities and ensure we're putting God's kingdom first, as Jesus taught in Matthew 6:33. Are we allowing good things to crowd out God things in our lives? The enemy often uses subtle distractions - sports, hobbies, or even parenting styles - to hinder our connection with God's people. We're encouraged to make fellowship a priority, even when it's uncomfortable or inconvenient. This isn't just about personal growth; it's about fulfilling Jesus' commandment in John 13 to love one another deeply, showing the world we are His disciples. As we align our priorities with God's, we may find He provides exactly what we need, opening doors for meaningful connections and spiritual growth we never anticipated.  Read More
