  1. Faith Submits

    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. The pathway to victory isn't found in self-sufficiency. It's found in submission to God. 📖 Scripture: James 4:1–12 Main Idea: Surrender isn't the path to defeat; it's the only pathway to victory.

    In this special Mother’s Day panel, Karen Hott, Qwynne Winslow, Kristen Lewis, Krista Heres, and Haley Cartwright vulnerably share how God met them in seasons of heartbreak, waiting, loss, singleness, divorce, motherhood, foster care, and unanswered prayers.

    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.

    Faith Loves | Keith Cross

    What does real faith look like? In James 1:26–2:13, we’re reminded that faith always expresses itself through love. It’s not just something we believe, it’s something we live out every day. This message walks through three ways we can measure our love for God: Our conversation “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” (Matthew 12:34) What we say matters. Our words have the power to build up or tear down. Our compassion “Look after orphans and widows in their distress…” (James 1:27) Faith shows up in how we care for others, especially those in need. Our consecration “Keep oneself from being polluted by the world…” (James 1:27) We’re called to live differently, not shaped by the patterns of the world. James 2:8 reminds us, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” And verse 13 says, “Mercy triumphs over judgment.” Faith that loves speaks differently, lives differently, and treats people differently. Watch the full message and take a moment to reflect on how your faith is being lived out.

    Faith Obeys | Keith Cross

    What does it look like to have a faith that actually works? In this message, Faith Obeys, Pastor Keith Cross walks through James 1:19–25 and reminds us that hearing God’s Word is not enough. Real faith responds. It listens, receives, and lives it out. James teaches us to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. Why? Because the Word of God isn’t just meant to inform us, it’s meant to transform us. When we only hear the Word but don’t act on it, Scripture says we deceive ourselves. But when we receive it with humility and respond in obedience, it begins to produce something in us. Growth. Change. Righteousness. The Word is like a mirror. It shows us where we are, but it also invites us to take a step forward. The question is not just, “Did I hear it?” It’s, “Am I living it?”

    The Blood That Speaks | Angela Cross

    What does the blood of Jesus say about you? In this communion message, we look at the contrast between Abel’s blood, which cried out for justice, and Jesus’ blood, which speaks a better word. A word of forgiveness, peace, and redemption. Scripture reminds us in Romans 3:23 that all have sinned, and Romans 6:23 that sin has a cost. But through Jesus, that debt has been fully paid. As you watch, take time to reflect during communion. Remember His body broken for you and His blood poured out so you could be made whole. This message is a reminder that the blood of Jesus is not speaking against you. It is speaking for you.

    He is Risen - Easter at Victory 2026 | Keith Cross

    In Matthew 28:1–7, we see the moment everything changed — the empty tomb. Jesus didn’t stay in the grave. He rose, just as He said. Because of the resurrection, we don’t just celebrate an event — we receive something real in our lives today: A receipt — the resurrection confirms the work of the cross A birth certificate — new life and a new identity in Christ (1 Peter 1:3–4) Power — the same power that raised Jesus is at work in us (Ephesians 1:19–20) A passport — a future in heaven and a purpose here on earth (Philippians 3:20) The resurrection isn’t just something we believe — it’s something that changes how we live.
