Faith Lasts | Keith Cross

How do we live a faith that lasts? In James 4:13–5:11, we're reminded that life is short, but what we do for Christ has eternal significance. Pastor Keith Cross challenges us to surrender our plans to God's will, invest in what truly matters, and remain faithful as we wait on the Lord. While the world encourages us to trust in our own control, our possessions, or our circumstances, James points us back to a faith that is anchored in Jesus. Only what's done for Christ will last. 📖 Scripture: James 4:13–5:11 Main Idea: Your life is short, but your legacy is eternal when it is lived entirely for Jesus Christ.

Faith Submits

In this message, Faith Submits, Pastor Keith Cross walks through James 4:1–12 and shows us that many of the battles we face begin with a struggle for control. Whether it's the pull of our flesh, the pressure of the world, or the attacks of the enemy, God invites us to stop striving in our own strength and surrender to Him. James reminds us that God gives more grace to the humble. As we draw near to Him, He draws near to us. As we humble ourselves before Him, He lifts us up.

Faith Speaks | Keith Cross

What do your words say about your faith? In this message, Faith Speaks, Pastor Keith Cross teaches through James 3:1–12 and reminds us that our words carry more weight than we realize. What we say doesn’t just fill space, it shapes direction, causes damage, and reveals what’s really going on in our hearts. James compares the tongue to a bit in a horse’s mouth and a rudder on a ship. Though small, it has the power to guide the course of our lives. But he also warns that our words can be destructive, like a spark that starts a fire. At the same time, our words are meant to reflect a heart that’s been changed by God. What flows out of us reveals what’s happening within us. This message challenges us to take a closer look at how we speak and to let our faith be seen not just in what we believe, but in what we say.

Faith Saves | Keith Cross

In this message, Faith Saves, Pastor Keith Cross teaches through James 2:14–26 and challenges us to move beyond just claiming faith into living it out. Scripture shows us that saving faith is not just something we believe in our minds or say with our words. It’s something that transforms our lives. It produces action. It shows up in obedience. Through the examples of Abraham and Rahab, we see that faith is revealed in how we respond to God, even when it’s uncomfortable, unclear, or requires trust. Faith that is real is not empty. It is alive. If you’ve ever wondered whether your faith is growing or just staying the same, this message will challenge and encourage you to take your next step. 📖 Scripture Reference: James 2:14–26 (NIV) Main Idea: Saving faith is a transformative force that produces tangible action.
