"Ephesians: Salvation - The How . . . And What Now?" 05/07/2024

"Ephesians: Salvation - The How . . . And What Now?" We continue our teaching series based on Ephesians, truly one of the greatest “books” in the New Testament. Lot’s can be said about this book—and we WILL say a lot in this study—but the key theme throughout the letter is “the power of God’s grace.” In fact, the word “grace”—pound for pound—appears more in the letter to the Ephesians than any other book in the Bible. And the word “power” appears as much in Ephesians as it does anywhere else in the Bible. So we invite you to join us on this journey of learning more about God's grace and how to live in the power of His Spirit.

"The Power of a Sending Church" 01/29/2024

"The Power of a Sending Church" As we conclude this series, Many More In '24" we will continue our emphasis on growing our culture of making more disciples - because that culture will transcend any teaching series, ministry or program. “Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.'” – Matthew 9:37–38 The harvest that Jesus is talking about in the verses above are people who are separated from God because of their sin. Jesus longs to see his people turn to himself. To be loved, protected, and rescued from their sins. So he commanded his disciples to proclaim this good news. Jesus clearly says that the harvest of people is plentiful. The problem is not that the harvest is not ready to hear. The problem is the laborers are few. That's where you and I come in . . . /episode/index/show/crossgate/id/29698708

“Many More in ’24” 01/08/2024

“Many More in ’24” A I want to give you four words this morning that will help us understand the Great Commission. Identity B At Crossgate Church, we are all about being and making disciples. In fact, we’re so focused on being and making disciples that we’ve developed a definition of what a disciple is, which is something that less than 2 percent of all churches have ever done: “A disciple is a growing follower of Jesus, who lives and loves like Jesus and leads others to follow him.” C. Follow · Notice that we call a disciple a “follower” and not just a “believer.” God calls us to far more than simply believing the right things about Jesus; God calls us to follow Jesus with our lives. D. Become · Notice that a disciple’s responsibility is to “live and love like Jesus.” A disciple’s desire is to become more like his or her Master—to become more like Jesus. And if that’s not true of someone, then how can they call themselves a disciple? E. Lead · Notice also that a disciple’s responsibility it to lead others to follow Jesus. That’s where the Great Commission comes into play. That’s where “more” disciples comes into play. · Here’s a theme I want to introduce to you: “Many More in ’24.” As disciples, Jesus has given us a timeless commission to make “more” disciples. He gave that commission to his disciples 2,000 years ago, and it remains just as valid today as it was when the words first left his mouth. /episode/index/show/crossgate/id/29388538
