"Keeping Jesus First To Remain Immersed In The Spirit"
Crossgate Church Podcasts
"Gathering them together, Jesus commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, “Which,” He said, “you heard from Me; for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit...” - Acts 1:4-5 When we are immersed in the Holy Spirit, He will take us where we did intend to go and reveal a power that can only be explained as “God Did!” Only then can our lives be marked by “God Did” moments, and only by keeping Jesus first in everything can we remain immersed in the Holy Spirit

“The Gospel Breaks Every Barrier"
Crossgate Church Podcasts
"Have you noticed that God often moves in the margins before He moves in the mainstream? In Acts 8–10, God explodes the gospel beyond Jerusalem in ways nobody expected: through a sorcerer, an Ethiopian eunuch, a persecutor named Saul, and a Roman soldier named Cornelius. These three chapters mark a major turning point in church history—the gospel breaking every cultural and religious barrier to fulfill Jesus’ promise in Acts 1:8: “You will be my witnesses… to the ends of the earth.”

"The Promise Still Stands"
Crossgate Church Podcasts
In today's message, Pastor Josh is bringing us a word from the book of Acts. Check out this short intro from his teaching: "Let me ask you something: Have you ever received a promise that changed everything? Maybe a promise from a parent, a coach, a mentor. Promises are powerful. But what if I told you that one of the greatest promises ever made is found in Acts 2, and it’s not just for them—it’s for you, your children, and generations to come?" Join us as we explore this promise from scripture in this powerful message, "The Promise Still Stands".

"The Crucifixion"
Crossgate Church Podcasts
Luke 23 From Pastor Joshua's teaching notes, "John Stott once said, “The cross is the clearest revelation of God’s love for sinners, and it is also the most explicit challenge to our indifference and cowardice.” As the Roman authority charged with making the decision regarding Jesus's sentence, Pilate’s reluctance to act reveals a deep truth—indifference to Jesus is still a decision. Pilate didn’t openly reject Jesus, but his reluctance to take a stand meant he rejected Him nonetheless. Pilate wanted to be popular, not right. He was more concerned about reputation than he was...
info_outlineA On this Memorial Day Weekend, we gather to think about something very simple yet very profound. Today, we want everyone to consider this truth: “Freedom Isn’t Free.” This is something we emphasize every year, and this year is no different. It’s a timeless truth. Freedom always comes with a price.
B John 12:24 – “Jesus said, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.’”
C Here’s an ironic paradox about death: “Death, as terrible as it is, in some cases, brings life.” In other words, the death of one thing sometimes brings life to another.”
Every Memorial Day weekend at Crossgate Church, we take time to remind ourselves that “Freedom isn’t free,” and we do that along two lines.
· First, we remind ourselves that “national freedom isn’t free.” Our national freedom has been bought and paid for by the blood of patriots and heroes.
· Second, we remind ourselves that “spiritual freedom isn’t free.” Our spiritual freedom has been bought and paid for by the blood of Jesus Christ and his death on the cross.
