"It's time." The author of Ecclesiastes writes in Ecclesiastes 3:1 . . . “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” Every January, we begin the year in a season of prayer and fasting. Specifically, we believe Jesus is calling us to seek God for three things: Protection, Direction, and Revelation. We do this to seek God first and to rely on him more fully. If you sense God has more for your life, 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting is a great place to start believing Him for all that He has for you. As you practice seeking Him first, He will move on your behalf like never before. You will start to see the power of prayer impact your relationships, work, family, and every area of your life. We would love for you to be part of 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting. How do you get involved? You can receive daily encouragement and inspiriaton through our podcast (CLICK HERE). You can join with us as we gather for a time of prayer and worship on January 8, 15, and 22. And you can check out all of the resources that we've compiled to help you in your personal journey with Jesus. You can also text the word "PRAY" to (833) 224-1404 to receive text message reminders, prompts, and inspriation throughout the 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting.

Pastor Teresa helps us build new habits for the new year.

The book of Jonah may be considered a children’s story, but it’s full of grown-up lessons. In this four-week series we’ll hear about the prophet, Jonah, who was instructed by God to speak to the awful people of Nineveh—the largest city in the world and call them to repentance. What we find is that Jonah wasn’t too keen on that idea. Throughout the month of October, we’ll discover how we can run with God instead of running from God.

We’ve all heard it said, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” The truth is words are powerful! They have the power to build up or to tear down. They have the power to influence and impact the people around us for better or worse. Join us for this new series and see how your words really do shape your world!

We can get lost in the wilderness of tangled emotions. We can disappear in the darkness of our deepest depression and wonder "why isn't my faith strong enough to handle this?" You are not alone. Even in the darkness, God will still meet us. In this two-part series we hear about the hope that we have in Jesus as we talk about depression, its causes, and what we can do to step out of the cave and into the light.

Easter. It's the day that all of human history leans on. It's the resurrection of Jesus and everything depends on it. Pastor Brad talks about that and how you and I can live into the new life that Jesus offers us at Easter and every day after!

This week's sermon, from Family Ministry Pastor Joey Bocook, follows the choices of three men - Pilate and two thieves. We find out that we all have a choice. We can either accept the fresh start that Jesus offers or reject it. 

Another message in our series "A Fresh Start," Pastor Wade (Media Pastor) delves into the story of the shrewd manager (Luke 16:1-9). 

This week, Pastor Teresa Page takes a deep dive into the story of Zacchaeus and the fresh start that Jesus offered him. She also takes a look at the obstacles that he faced. 

This week we talk about generosity and greed. The parable of the Rich Fool (Luke 12:16–21) is at the center of this Fresh Start story. PLUS, you'll get a SNEAK PEEK of what is to come through the launch of the ENGAGE INITIATIVE at Cross Bridge Church. 

In this message, Pastor Brad Fink walks us through one story with two unique points of view. Two people that were given a fresh start in the gospel of Luke. We are able to see that we could easily fall into either category. Want to watch the video? Check out crossbridgenaz.org/live for a link to the video from this week's message.
