What would you give up to gain everything?In this message from Mark 10, Pastor Matt Troyer explores Jesus' encounter with the Rich Young Ruler and the question that matters most: How do we inherit eternal life? As the wealthy young man confidently claims he has obeyed God's commands, Jesus lovingly exposes the one thing standing between him and true faith—his trust in wealth.Through this powerful passage, we discover that no one is good enough to earn God's kingdom, that salvation is impossible through human effort alone, and that faith means trusting Jesus above everything else. While following Christ may involve sacrifice, Jesus promises that whatever is lost for His sake is nothing compared to what is gained in Him.The message concludes with a challenging question for every believer: What is the value of Jesus to you? Is He worth more than your comfort, security, possessions, and plans? Because in the end, true life is found not in what we hold onto, but in the One we trust.

In this message from Mark 10, Pastor Matt Troyer explores Jesus' surprising teaching about who can enter the Kingdom of God. As parents bring children to Jesus, the disciples attempt to turn them away, but Jesus responds by welcoming them and declaring that the Kingdom belongs to those who receive it like a child.Throughout the sermon, Pastor Matt challenges the common belief that people earn God's favor through good behavior, religious performance, or personal achievement. Instead, he emphasizes that salvation is received through humility, dependence, and faith.Using Jesus' interaction with children and the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, the message contrasts two approaches to God:trusting in your own goodness and accomplishmentstrusting completely in God's mercy and graceThe sermon repeatedly points listeners back to one central truth:The Kingdom of God is entered by mercy, not merit.Pastor Matt explains that children bring nothing to earn acceptance—they simply receive. In the same way, every believer must come before God recognizing their need for grace rather than relying on religious accomplishments or self-righteousness.The message concludes with a clear gospel invitation, reminding listeners that salvation is not something we achieve but something we receive through Jesus Christ.The takeaway is clear:No one enters God's Kingdom because they are good enough. We enter because God is merciful enough, and we receive that mercy with the humble faith of a child.

Divorce is one of the most personal, painful, and misunderstood topics in the church—and in this message, Pastor Matt Troyer doesn't avoid the hard questions.Walking through Mark 10, Matt explores what Jesus actually taught about marriage, divorce, remarriage, and God's design for covenant relationships. Rather than focusing on loopholes and exceptions, Jesus points us back to the beginning—to God's original vision for marriage as a lifelong commitment built on becoming "one flesh."Whether you're married, divorced, considering marriage, or carrying wounds from a broken relationship, this message offers both truth and hope. Matt carefully unpacks difficult passages, answers practical questions, and reminds us that while divorce may be part of someone's story, it never has to be the end of God's work in their life.A thoughtful, compassionate, and biblically grounded message about commitment, grace, healing, and the God who redeems broken things.

Pastor Jeremy Kisor delivers a message out of Mark 9 centered on one big question: How do we actually measure greatness? Using the disciples’ argument over who was the “greatest,” Jeremy contrasts the world’s version of greatness — status, money, success, fame, influence — with Jesus’ upside-down definition: being the servant of all. He challenges the church to stop chasing recognition and instead pursue humility, service, and love for others, reminding listeners that greatness in God’s kingdom is not about what you can get, but what you can give.The message mixes humor, relatable stories, and practical application as Jeremy walks through Jesus teaching the disciples that true greatness starts with serving people nobody else notices. From debates about GOAT athletes and fast food to a personal story about breaking his ankle and experiencing sacrificial kindness from another believer, the sermon consistently points back to Jesus as the ultimate example of humility and service. Jeremy also highlights real ways people can serve at CrossPoint Church — from youth ministry and worship teams to CarePoint and Mega Sports Camp — while encouraging believers to value others above themselves and pursue greatness that actually matters to God.

In this message from Mark 8:27–33, Pastor Matt Troyer centers everything around one unavoidable question: Who do you say Jesus is?As Jesus takes His disciples into a region filled with competing gods and beliefs, He first asks what others are saying—prophet, teacher, someone special. But then He turns it personal. Peter answers, “You are the Messiah,” and everything shifts. Because that answer isn’t just theological—it comes with implications.What follows is the tension nobody expected: Jesus reveals that being the Messiah doesn’t mean power and victory in the way people thought—it means suffering, rejection, and the cross. When Peter pushes back, Jesus shuts it down hard, exposing how easy it is to want a version of Jesus that fits our expectations instead of God’s plan.The message builds toward a clear challenge: it’s not enough to be around Jesus, agree with Jesus, or even admire Jesus. At some point, the question gets personal—and your answer determines everything.Faith doesn’t become powerful until it becomes yours.
