CrossPointe Church no CrossPointe Church :: Columbus, GA info@insidecrosspointe.com ℗ & © 2010 CrossPointe Church 720 Colossians 1:13-14 is one of the most important and profound sentences in the entire Bible. It contains an incredible summary of what Christ has done on the Cross for His people. In this message we take a look at the consequences of the fall, our total inability to save ourselves, and the glorious implications of Christ’s work on the Cross. http://www.insidecrosspointe.com/sermon/colossians-4-rugged-redemption http://www.insidecrosspointe.com/mediafiles/rugged-redemption-020710.mp3 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 19:49:26 GMT Brad Evangelista Colossians: Rejoicing in the Supremacy of Christ in All Things 51:36 In this message, we hit the pause button on our Colossians series to talk about and explain the details of a new location for CrossPointe Church coming this summer. http://www.insidecrosspointe.com/sermon/a-new-home-for-crosspointe http://www.insidecrosspointe.com/mediafiles/013110-new-church-building.mp3 Sun, 31 Jan 2010 15:23:05 GMT Brad Evangelista Individual messages 49:01 There is much for us to learn in this short prayer from Paul in Colossians 1:9-11. In it we see Paul’s desire for the Colossians to know God and his ways so that they might display God to the world around them. In a culture that often wants to reduce faith in God to mere pragmatism for helpful answers, this prayer expands the reasons for knowing God’s will to something much bigger than just specific instruction for life. Namely, the bearing of spiritual fruit that points people around us to Jesus. http://www.insidecrosspointe.com/sermon/colossians-3-fully-pleasing-him http://www.insidecrosspointe.com/mediafiles/colossians-3-fully-pleasing-him.mp3 Sun, 24 Jan 2010 14:24:01 GMT Brad Evangelista Colossians: Rejoicing in the Supremacy of Christ in All Things 49:09 Last week we saw how Paul attributes the faith and love of the Colossians to their hope in heaven. As we dig deeper into Paul’s logic this week in Colossians 1:3-14, we see the source of all our hope, which is the Gospel that has come to us and bears fruit. http://www.insidecrosspointe.com/sermon/colossians-2-the-gospel-which-has-come-to-you http://www.insidecrosspointe.com/mediafiles/colossians-2-the-gospel-which-has-come-to-you.mp3 Sun, 17 Jan 2010 20:44:07 GMT Brad Evangelista Colossians: Rejoicing in the Supremacy of Christ in All Things 56:39 We begin our series on the Christ-saturated letter of Paul to the Colossians. Paul never visited the city of Colossae, but was very familiar with the church there as it was planted by Epaphras, who came to the Lord through Paul’s ministry in Ephesus. Paul wrote this letter to the Colossians around A.D. 62 while under house arrest in Rome (Acts 27-28). The issue he is addressing has been an issue of much discussion amongst scholars. Unlike some of this other letters like Galatians and Corinthians, the reason he is writing is harder to detect. Most likely, he is addressing a kind of folk religious mix of Judaism and some super spiritual equivalent of a new age guru who is leading people into the error of thinking that they have some special religious experience or level because they have some higher understanding. http://www.insidecrosspointe.com/sermon/colossians-1-the-word-of-truth http://www.insidecrosspointe.com/mediafiles/colossians-1-the-word-of-truth.mp3 Sun, 10 Jan 2010 16:22:03 GMT Brad Evangelista Colossians: Rejoicing in the Supremacy of Christ in All Things heaven,hope,supremacy,colossians 46:47 Culture draws us out to sea like a riptide, seeking to make us dependent on everything and anything but God. At the start of this very important year for our church, we take time to prepare for our Daniel fast. For us, this fast will be a way in which we stick our heads above the haze, row against the current of self-absorbed culture, and seek more of God’s wisdom for us. http://www.insidecrosspointe.com/sermon/a-hunger-for-god http://www.insidecrosspointe.com/mediafiles/010310-a-hunger-for-god.mp3 Sun, 03 Jan 2010 17:03:47 GMT Brad Evangelista Individual messages fasting 47:41 In this stand alone message from Deuteronomy 10:12-22, we pause on the last Sunday of the year to ask ourselves the question, "What does the Lord require of us?" for the new year ahead. http://www.insidecrosspointe.com/sermon/what-does-the-lord-require http://www.insidecrosspointe.com/mediafiles/what-does-the-lord-require-of-you-122709.mp3 Sun, 27 Dec 2009 21:35:23 GMT Brad Evangelista Individual messages 38:39 According to noted author and scholar J.I. Packer, the Incarnation of Christ is an "unfathomable mystery." That Jesus, who was and is fully God became and is fully man is the most fantastic and awe-inspiring truth in the Scriptures. In this message we examine just three of the many implications of the Incarnation. http://www.insidecrosspointe.com/sermon/the-incarnation http://www.insidecrosspointe.com/mediafiles/the-incarnation-of-jesus-122009.mp3 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 00:53:57 GMT Brad Evangelista Individual messages incarnation 39:41 For the past four months we have worked verse by verse through Nehemiah. This message seeks to apply the great themes of Nehemiah for us by focusing on three important words for CrossPointe: Gospel, Community, and Mission. http://www.insidecrosspointe.com/sermon/gospel-community-mission http://www.insidecrosspointe.com/mediafiles/nehemiah-16.mp3 Sun, 13 Dec 2009 01:58:34 GMT Brad Evangelista Individual messages mission,community,gospel 34:07 In the last chapter of Nehemiah, we read how the struggle for sanctification continues. Nehemiah had to take leave and check back in with his employer Artaxerxes. When he returns to Jerusalem he finds that things have gone down hill without his supervision, to say the least. In this message, we unpack three mistakes the people made that we make as well, as well as three observations that we should remember as we struggle for our own sanctification in Christ. http://www.insidecrosspointe.com/sermon/nehemiah-15-messy-maintenance http://www.insidecrosspointe.com/mediafiles/nehemiah-15-messy-maintenance.mp3 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 19:56:08 GMT Brad Evangelista Nehemiah: A People On Mission sanctification,growth,repentance 51:43
