    God’s Greatest Gift Was Empty

    Easter is more than a tradition — it is the moment that changed history. In this Easter message, “God’s Greatest Gift Was Empty,” we explore the meaning of the empty tomb and why the resurrection of Jesus is not just a theological idea but a historical event that reshapes our understanding of life, death, hope, and transformation. The resurrection reveals the power, love, and mercy of God, offering restoration, reassurance, and new life for anyone willing to turn to Him. Through themes of repentance, transformation, and renewed faith, this message reminds us that the same power that raised Christ from the dead still transforms lives today. Because the tomb was empty, we can have assurance that death is not the end, mercy is available to sinners, and God’s love continues to restore broken lives.

    God Said It Is Good| Men's Retreat – Lesson 1

    Culture calls masculinity toxic. Scripture calls it a gift. In the opening lesson of CrossWay's "God Said It Is Good" Men's Retreat, RJ unpacks what biblical masculinity actually looks like — and why passivity, not aggression, is the real threat to men today. This is Lesson 1 of 2 from the retreat. RJ walks through Genesis 1, the role men played in the fall, the example of Jesus as the perfect man, and three marks of a godly man. Key takeaways: Masculinity is a gift from God, not a problem to suppressStrength surrendered to God becomes a blessing, not a burdenPassivity is not humility — it's disobedience in slow motion Chapters 0:00 Welcome and the Cultural Lie About Masculinity 4:07 Masculinity Is a Gift (Genesis 1:26-27) 8:00 The Role of Men in the Fall 12:00 Jesus, the Perfect Man 15:47 Marks of a Godly Man 18:30 It Is Good to Be a Man Speaker: RJ Series: God Said It Is Good — Men's Retreat Church: CrossWay Church Columbia | crosswaycolumbia.com Subscribe for weekly sermons and follow us on Instagram @crosswaycomo.

    Men Are Made For Dominion| Men's Retreat – Lesson 2

    If masculinity is a gift, what's the job description? In Lesson 2 of CrossWay's "God Said It Is Good" Men's Retreat, Carrie unpacks three things God designed every man to do — rule what's been placed under him, subdue what's trying to destroy him, and produce something that outlives him. This is Lesson 2 of 2 from the retreat, picking up where RJ's opening lesson left off and turning the gift of masculinity into a clear, biblical assignment. Key takeaways: Dominion isn't optional — passive men forfeit what God placed under their authoritySin and laziness must be confronted and subdued, not toleratedA life that produces nothing — no disciples, no growth, no impact — has missed the design Chapters 0:00 Opening and the Bible's Definition of a Man 1:30 Created to Rule (Genesis 1:26-28) 8:30 Built to Confront and Subdue (Genesis 4:7) 13:10 Commanded to Multiply and Produce (Genesis 1:28, John 15:8) 18:14 Closing Prayer Speaker: Kerry Cox Series: God Said It Is Good — Men's Retreat Church: CrossWay Church Columbia | crosswaycolumbia.com Subscribe for weekly sermons and follow us on Instagram @crosswaycomo.

    God's Design For Men And Women | Men's Retreat – Lesson 3

    "I have not been the man that God has called me to be." That's how Ben opens his confession in Lesson 3 of CrossWay's "God Said It Is Good" Men's Retreat — and that honesty sets the tone for everything that follows. Ben walks through God's design for men and women, the cost of male passivity, what it actually means to lead, and how you treat women as a clear test of whether you're really a man of God. This is Lesson 3 from the retreat, building on RJ's framing of masculinity as a gift and Carrie's call to rule, subdue, and multiply. Key takeaways: Don't redefine what God already defined — He doesn't make mistakes about who you areAdam's first sin wasn't eating the fruit — it was watching the serpent talk to his wife and saying nothingA man who can't lead his own home can't lead anywhereHow you treat women is one of the clearest tests of whether you're really a man of God Chapters 0:00 Opening Prayer 0:30 Honor God's Design for Men and Women 7:00 Embrace Your Role as a Man 12:00 Step Into the Role: Adam's Failure to Lead 20:20 Protect and Honor Women 24:40 Closing Prayer Speaker: Ben Series: God Said It Is Good — Men's Retreat Church: CrossWay Church Columbia | crosswaycolumbia.com Subscribe for weekly sermons and follow us on Instagram @crosswaycomo.
