UNBOUND – Week One: Choose Your PainThe Cost of Forgiveness and the Prison of UnforgivenessIn the first message of the UNBOUND series, we explore a freedom many people long for but few actually experience. Jesus said, “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” But it’s possible to belong to Christ and still live emotionally chained to the past.This message tackles one of the most difficult barriers to freedom: unforgiveness. Through Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 18, we discover that forgiveness is not forgetting, excusing, or minimizing what happened—it’s choosing to cancel a debt that someone else cannot repay. It’s costly, it’s hard, and it’s deeply personal. But the alternative is even more costly.The truth is simple but powerful: you will choose your pain. The pain of forgiveness leads to freedom. The pain of unforgiveness leads to a prison.In this message, you’ll discover why forgiven people forgive people, how grace reshapes our relationships, and how releasing the weight of offense can unlock the freedom Jesus died to give.

You can be rescued… and still restricted.In Week Two of It Stops With Me, we look at one of the most powerful stories in Scripture — the raising of Lazarus in John 11 — and uncover a truth many believers miss:Salvation brings you out.mFreedom takes the grave clothes off.It’s possible to be alive in Christ and still feel wrapped up in shame, fear, old patterns, or lingering lies. But Jesus didn’t just call you out of the tomb — He called you into freedom.This message challenges us to stop settling for “free-ish” and start walking in what Jesus actually paid for.Because who the Son sets free is free indeed.

It Stops With Me — Week OneWe all want freedom. But if we’re honest, many of us are living “free-ish.” Saved… but still stuck. Forgiven… but still fighting the same thoughts. Worshiping loudly… but wrestling quietly.In Week One of It Stops With Me, we look at how strongholds form in our thinking and why real freedom starts in the mind before it shows up in our behavior. When David was anointed king, the enemy mobilized — and sometimes the reason the battle intensifies is because you’re finally stepping into who God says you are.If there’s a pattern you’re tired of managing… If there’s a cycle you don’t want to pass down… This message will challenge you to stop surviving and start fighting differently. Because who the Son sets free is free indeed.

When God Turns Up the VolumeHearing God’s Voice Through Pain, Wisdom, and CommunityIn a world full of noise, we’ve been learning how God speaks—through His Spirit, through prayer, through Scripture, and through the wisdom of others. But in Week Five of SIGNAL, we look at the loudest way God speaks.Through the story of Jonah, we discover that sometimes God doesn’t whisper… He turns up the volume.Storms. Consequences. Interruptions. Seasons we never would have chosen.Pain has a way of getting our attention—and Scripture reminds us that God doesn’t waste it.In this message, we unpack four powerful phrases God often shouts through painful seasons:Look Inside.Turn Around.Start Over.Get Ready.Pain isn’t punishment—it’s often preparation.The fish wasn’t rejection—it was protection.And your storm may be the very place God is shaping your next assignment.If you feel like you’re in the belly of the fish right now, this message is for you. Because when God turns up the volume, it’s not to shame you.It’s to save you.

God is speaking—but are we listening to the right voices?In Week Four of SIGNAL, we explore one of the most tangible ways God speaks: through other people. Using the story of Rehoboam in 1 Kings 12, this message unpacks how isolation, pride, and the wrong counsel can derail even the most confident decisions—and how godly wisdom can help us discern God’s direction with clarity.If you’re facing a decision, feeling unsure about your next step, or struggling to hear God in the noise, this message will challenge you to consider who has influence in your life and why it matters.The quality of your decisions will always reflect the quality of your counsel.Listen in and lean in as we learn how God often speaks through wise, godly voices placed around us.

In this message, we explore the clearest way God speaks in a noisy world. While many of us long for direction through signs, feelings, or circumstances, Scripture reminds us that God has already spoken clearly through His Word. Drawing from 2 Timothy 3:16–17, this message challenges us to listen, respond, and build our lives on what God has breathed into Scripture. If you’ve ever felt desperate to hear from God, this message will help you tune in and take your next faithful step.

In a world that never slows down, learning to hear God’s voice requires more than volume—it requires space. In Week Two of SIGNAL, we explore the most personal way God speaks: prayer. Not polished prayers. Not rushed prayers. Honest conversation with a God who still whispers to His people.This message invites us to slow down, turn down the noise, and discover what happens when we stop talking long enough to truly listen—and then have the courage to obey what God says.If you’ve ever wondered whether God is speaking, or struggled to hear Him in the middle of everyday life, this message is for you.

Tuned InRecognizing the promptings of the Holy SpiritIn Week One of the SIGNAL series, we explore one of the most personal ways God speaks—the promptings of the Holy Spirit. Many of us believe God exists, but struggle to know what He’s saying. This message invites us to tune out the noise, tune into God’s Spirit, and learn how obedience sharpens our ability to hear His voice. Through Scripture and real-life application, discover how God is still speaking—and how to stay tuned in.

How you start a year matters more than most people realize.In this message from the first Sunday of 2026, Pastor Randy challenges us with a simple but life-shaping invitation from Jesus: “Give Me one more year.” Not a weekend. Not a resolution. A year.Using Jesus’ parable of the fig tree in Luke 13, this message explores what happens when God is given time, space, and permission to do real work beneath the surface—work that leads to growth, healing, and lasting fruit. It’s a call to stop settling, stop drifting, and stop carrying the same patterns into a new year.This isn’t about hype or hustle. It’s about surrender, patience, and transformation over time.If you’re ready for a different kind of year—one marked by purpose, growth, and God’s presence—this message is a powerful place to begin.Recorded at Crossroads Church.

Life rarely goes according to plan — and neither did the first Christmas. In the final week of Hope Breaks In, we look at Mary’s story and discover how God often steps into our lives in ways we never saw coming.This message reminds us that biblical hope isn’t wishful thinking — it’s a confident expectation rooted in the faithfulness of God. When plans are disrupted, fear shows up, and the future feels uncertain, God is still at work. And sometimes, the very thing we didn’t expect is the doorway God uses to bring hope, purpose, and new life.If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I did not see this coming,” this message is for you. Hope doesn’t wait for perfect circumstances — hope breaks in.

In this week’s message, Pastor Randy shows us that hope doesn’t tiptoe into our lives — it breaks in right when we’re convinced nothing’s changing. Week Two confronts the fears that keep us stuck and shines a spotlight on the God who steps into the coldest, heaviest moments with power, clarity, and purpose. If you’ve been asking, “God, do You still see me?” — this message is your answer.

Christmas isn’t just a season; it’s the moment God stepped into our darkness with light. In Week One of our Christmas series Hope Breaks In, Pastor Randy reminds us that hope often begins in the places we least expect it — the silent seasons, the waiting seasons, the heavy seasons.Mary and Joseph didn’t get the Christmas they imagined, but they received the one God had promised. And the same God who worked in their dark moments is working in ours.If you’ve been tired, discouraged, or unsure what God is doing, this message will help you lift your eyes and rediscover the hope that breaks into real life.

In the final message of our CHARGED series, Pastor Randy teaches on the anointing of the Holy Spirit — what it is, what it’s not, and why it matters for everyday life. The anointing isn’t a feeling or a ritual… it’s the Spirit of God empowering believers to live with courage, purpose, and supernatural strength. This message will challenge you, encourage you, and remind you that you were never meant to live the Christian life in your own power. You are set apart, filled, and sent.Please note: Toward the end of the audio, you’ll hear extended music — this was the time in our service when people were being anointed with oil and prayed over.

In Week Four of our Charged series, Pastor Randy breaks down the daily habits that keep us walking in step with the Holy Spirit. You can have God’s power, grow His fruit, and operate in His gifts — but if your life is out of sync with the Spirit, you’ll always live beneath what God intended.This message unpacks the four habits that realign your heart: Stay in the Word. Yield to His leading. Never delay obedience. Confess quickly.It’s practical, convicting, encouraging, and full of those “that was for me” moments. If you’re tired of drifting, reacting, or running on spiritual fumes… this message will help you “sync it up” and walk with the One who lives within you. Tune in — and invite the Holy Spirit to lead your steps today.

The Holy Spirit doesn’t just fill you so you can feel something — He fills you so you can do something. In this week’s message, Pastor Randy unpacks what it means to live a gifted life — one empowered by the Spirit to go beyond natural limits, serve others, and make a difference for the Kingdom.If you’ve ever wondered how God wants to work through you, this message will help you discover, develop, and deploy the gifts the Holy Spirit has placed inside you.

In Week Two of our series Charged, Pastor Randy reminds us that the power of the Holy Spirit wasn’t meant to just be experienced — it was meant to be expressed. In a message titled “Fruit Happens,” we look at Jesus’ words in John 15 and discover that real growth doesn’t come from trying harder, but from staying connected to the Vine. When we remain in His presence, the Holy Spirit produces fruit that striving never could — love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. If you’ve ever felt stuck, dry, or disconnected, this message will help you see that God isn’t finished with you — He’s forming you. Because when you stay connected to the Vine, life always wins.

Ever feel like you’re doing all the right things but still running on empty? In Week One of CHARGED, Pastor Randy unpacks what it means to live every day filled with the power of the Holy Spirit — not on human effort, but divine strength.Discover the power that raised Jesus from the dead, the Helper who brings purpose to your life, and the presence that turns spiritual exhaustion into spiritual momentum. It’s time to stop rowing and start relying — because once you experience the power and presence of the Holy Spirit, you’ll never go back to life on low battery.

When life flips the script, God is still writing the story.

This week is all about forgiveness—the kind that feels impossible until you remember what God forgave you for. Discover how to let go, move forward, and find the good in goodbye.

When doing the right thing lands you in the wrong place, then what? In Week Three of Plot Twist, we follow Joseph into the “waiting room” and learn how to wait without withering—bring God in, hold the purpose He spoke, and practice excellence wherever you’re stationed. This message shows how God forms strength in hidden seasons and turns closed doors into preparation for what’s next.

Life doesn’t always go as planned—but even when the story takes a turn, God is still working. In this message from our Plot Twist series, we look at Joseph’s example of staying faithful when life felt unfair and the future seemed out of reach. Discover how integrity, consistency, and trust in God can bring favor even in the fight.Listen and be encouraged to stay faithful where you are—because favor follows faithfulness.
