CrossWalk - Cross Culture Church RDU

Special: Mother's Day Gifts

Guest speaker Chuck Register brings today's special Mother's Day message from the Book of Luke.  

The Revelation, Week 17: Chapter 7

The description of war and famine and disease and death, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions point to a future that is pretty grim for those living on the earth during the Tribulation Period.  But this week, Pastor Clay shows us in chapter 7 that even in the midst of all of that will be going on, God is going to move in a powerful way in the lives of tens of millions of people. Some people have asked if people will be saved during the Tribulation Period, well today we'll learn the answer to that question and more.

The Revelation, Week 16: Chapter 6: 6-17

The book of Revelation reveals three separate judgments that are coming on the earth during the Great Tribulation, revealed as 7 seals, 7 trumpets, and 7 bowls. Today, Pastor Clay is going to walk us through the fifth and sixth seals and we see even greater death and destruction as God's judgement on the world has a devastating result. What a blessing it is to know for those who trust Christ the future will be very different.

The Revelation, Week 15: Chapter 6: 1-8

The sixth chapter of the book of Revelation opens with one of the most powerful scenes in all the Bible. The Apostle John sees what has come to be known as ‘The four riders of the apocalypse.’ Just who were these riders and what do they represent?  Today Pastor Clay is going to introduce us to those riders and the part they play in the Tribulation Period. It will be a scary time with much fear and uncertainty. It will also be a time of great upheaval the likes of which the world has never seen.

The Revelation, Week 14: Chapter 6: 1-8 (Intro to The Tribulation Period)

Today in our study in the book of Revelation we delve into what the Bible calls, The Great Tribulation Period. It takes up the majority of the book of Revelation from chapter 6 verse 1 to chapter 19 verse 21. The Bible describes it as a time like the world has never experienced before. Today Pastor Clay is introducing us to this section of the book of Revelation by answering some key questions and looking at some key Old Testament passages that are crucial for a correct understanding of the book of Revelation.

The Revelation, Week 13: Chapter 5: 1-14 (Easter Edition)

The Gospel accounts tell us that when Peter and John looked into the tomb early that first Easter Sunday morning, they expected to see the body of Jesus. Instead all they saw were the grave clothes still lying there.  The body was gone and the world has never been the same. Last week we saw that God is worthy of worship because of who He is, the Creator. Today in Revelation Chapter 5, we find the second reason to worship and praise our God, because of what He's done.

The Revelation, Week 12: Chapter 4: 3-11

Today we find ourselves in Revelation chapter 4 and a scene that can only be described as awesome. The Apostle John has been summoned to heaven in a vision and what he sees reminds us of the greatness of our God. It’s a powerful scene that is revealed and that is revealed and as Pastor Clay is going to show us, we serve a God who is seated on His throne and firmly in control  of the events that were about to unfold.

The Revelation, Week 11: Chapter 4: 1-2

Today, Pastor Clay takes us to Revelation chapter 4 and a look at The Great Tribulation, a period of seven years that is going to be unlike anything man has ever seen. Scholars debate whether the Church will be on the earth or whether the Lord is going to remove His Church before those events begin to unfold. Perhaps no one knows for absolute certain how all the events will unfold, but this we do know, our God reigns. His plans are perfect and He will accomplish His perfect plans in His perfect timing.

The Revelation, Week 10: Chapter 3: 14-22

Jesus has a very different value system than we often do. If we’re not careful we can spend too much of our time concerned about the temporal things and neglect the spiritual. Bank accounts will eventually be depleted. No matter how nice the clothes are, they won't last forever, and what the world sees as valuable actually has very little worth to God. This might be a good time for each of us to take stock of our lives and value system. A good question to ask ourselves might be, "Do I worry more about the temporal things of this world than the eternal things?"

The Revelation, Week 9: Chapter 3: 7-13

We’ve probably all found ourselves in situations where we had the opportunity to do something for God, but for whatever reason we didn’t do what we knew God wanted us to do.  This week, we continue "The Revelation" series and Pastor Clay tells us about the little church in Philadelphia who had every reason in the world to keep quiet and fly under the radar, but instead they chose to believe God and remain true to their calling to take the message of Jesus to their culture.

The Revelation, Week 8: Chapter 3: 1-6

We’ve been working our way thru the opening chapters of the book of Revelation looking at the seven letters sent to the seven churches of Asia Minor. This week, we’re introduced to the church at Sardis, a church that had experienced a great amount of success in its earlier days and as a result, had a great reputation. Pastor Clay shows us today that Jesus wants more than for His church to have a good reputation. He wants results... and that often means getting out of the comfort zone.

The Revelation, Week 7: Chapter 2: 8-29

This week we continue our series, The Revelation, as Pastor Clay takes us to chapter 2 verses 18 through 29 where we find the church at Thyatira. Jesus’ letter to the church there commended them for their love, faithfulness, and service, but it also included a stern warning, that there is a consequence for failing to deal with false theology and that if they don't deal with it, He will.

The Revelation, Week 6: Chapter 2: 12-17

Compromise...it’s a word that fits well into our culture, but can Christians really do that?  Pergamum was a very religious city with temples and shrines and altars to a variety of gods. In a very real sense you and I face those same challenges today in our culture. The church in Pergamum that was struggling with the pressure to compromise. Today, Pastor Clay is taking us through Jesus' letter to the believers in Pergamum to help us see the importance of our theology. 

The Revelation, Week 5: Chapter 2: 8-11

Today we’re in the second chapter of the book of Revelation looking at Jesus’ letter to the church at Smyrna and His word of encouragement for the church. Fear doesn’t have to paralyze our spiritual lives, cripple our walk with Jesus or keep us from being used by Him to impact our world. Thanks for joining us as Pastor Clay shows us how to conquer our fear and live by faith.

The Revelation, Week 4: Chapter 2: 1-7

This week, we’re diving in to Jesus’ messages to the seven churches of Asia Minor and the first church He addresses, the Ephesian church. They were standing strong in the face of persecution and standing for truth and doctrinal integrity but Jesus told them they had left their first love. Just exactly what did Jesus mean by that? Today as Pastor Clay answers that question, we'll learn what Jesus' warning means for the Church today.

The Revelation, Week 3: Chapter 1: 9-20

Anytime something like this week's massive earthquake in Haiti happens, it’s easy to wonder where God is in all of it. The early church probably wondered the same thing at times. Christians had been suffering for their faith in Jesus Christ and it was about to get much worse. They needed to know that God was there. Today we continue our study entitled, The Revelation, and Pastor Clay is taking us to Revelation chapter 1 verses 9 - 20 where we find a description of Jesus Christ and a declaration from Him that would be encouragement to the Church then and an encouragement to us today.

The Revelation, Week 2: Chapter 1: 4-8

Have you ever faced times in your life when you really needed to be reminded that God was in charge? Have you ever looked at your circumstances and wondered whether God would be able to bring you through them?  Today we continue our series entitled, The Revelation, and Pastor Clay is taking us to John's opening greeting in chapter 1, verses 4-8 of the book of Revelation. We hope you'll follow along in your Bible and that you find this study encouraging to you in your circumstances.

The Revelation, Week 1: Introduction

Today we begin a brand new series entitled, The Revelation, as Pastor Clay takes us on a systematic journey through the last book of the Bible. The book of Revelation has been around for two-thousand years and yet it seems to remain a mystery to so many people. Today's message is an introduction to The Book of Revelation that will help lay the groundwork for what we pray will be a profitable time of study for all of us.

Special: They Don't Call them Wise Men for Nothing

Sometimes the reality of Christmas looks much different than what we thought it would be. The stargazers found in Matthew chapter 2 came in search of the One born King of the Jews and their search was, in some ways, not what they expected and in some ways, it was much more. Who would have ever thought that you would find a king in such a humble surroundings? Who could have guessed the outcome? This week, we're going to read the wonderful story of magi and discover why, they don't call them wise men for nothing.

Special: Christmas Lesson

In the midst of the hustle and bustle and the shopping and eating we all struggle to keep the reason for the season in focus. One of the ways we do that is by going back and reading again the accounts of the birth of Jesus Christ. Today Pastor Clay takes us to Luke Chapter 2 and as we look at what may be a very familiar story, we're going to learn some new lessons that will encourage and help us to trust God in our everyday lives.

The Truth Project, Week 12: Community & Involvement - God Cares, Do I?

This is the final message in "The Truth Project" series. Matthew chapter 9 tells us a lot about our need for Jesus, but it also tells us a lot about God’s heart. The world around us is hurting and needs the love of God more than anything else and today, Pastor Clay is going to take us through Matthew Chapter 9 to learn from Jesus what it really means to care.

Special: Ralph Thompson, Guest Speaker

Pastor Ralph Thompson talks about the Emergency Chaplains ministry and brings the message from John 16:33.

The Truth Project, Week 11: The American Experiment - Stepping Stones (Part 2)

This week, we’ll review the points Pastor Clay made last time as we pondered the question, “how much would you pay for an atheist?”  This week’s CrossWalk wraps up this two-part Thanksgiving message and takes us back to Hebrews chapter 11.  What are the resources we need if we're willing to pay the price so that others can hear the good news of Jesus? We're about to find out God's answer to that important question.

The Truth Project, Week 10: The American Experiment - Stepping Stones (Part 1)

Hebrews chapter 11 is known as the “Hall of Faith” chapter because it recounts the great faith of men and women like Noah, Abraham, Sarah and others. Today Pastor Clay is taking us to the closing verses of that chapter to see what those who have gone before us have paid in order to advance the work of the kingdom.

The Truth Project, Week 9: Whose Law?

Whether we like it or not, governments and their leaders play a big part in our lives. Throughout history some governments and rulers have been favorable to Christianity, but many have not. Followers of Jesus need to understand how God expects us to look at government. Today's CrossWalk is through Romans Chapter 13 as Pastor Clay takes us to a passage of scripture that will give us a better understanding of government and how followers of Jesus should act toward it.
