"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.”

info_outlineLuke 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 about character.
Jesus doesn’t give us the option of neutrality. We’re either for Him or against Him. The same thing happens in our lives. We might not actively oppose Jesus, but if we don’t choose to follow Him, we’re still choosing to reject Him."
