At The Crossroads Church Podcast

This week Pastor Peter shares a message with us about team building in God's house and what that looks like through Scripture.

These are some of the Scriptures referenced:

1 Corinthians 3:13-15 (NKJV)
13 each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire.

John 1:17 (NKJV)
17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Philemon 8-14 (NKJV)
8 Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command you what is fitting, 9 yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you—being such a one as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ— 10 I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains, 11 who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me. 12 I am sending him [a]back. You therefore receive him, that is, my own [b]heart, 13 whom I wished to keep with me, that on your behalf he might minister to me in my chains for the gospel. 14 But without your consent I wanted to do nothing, that your good deed might not be by compulsion, as it were, but voluntary.

Nehemiah 4:16-17 (NKJV)
16 So it was, from that time on, that half of my servants worked at construction, while the other half held the spears, the shields, the bows, and wore armor; and the leaders [a]were behind all the house of Judah. 17 Those who built on the wall, and those who carried burdens, loaded themselves so that with one hand they worked at construction, and with the other held a weapon.

This week Pastor Peter shares a message with us called Connection for Protection, continuing in the series about connecting.

Some of the key scripture references are:

Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NKJV)

And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV)
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Exodus 13:18 (NKJV)
18 So God led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. And the children of Israel went up in orderly ranks out of the land of Egypt.

Exodus 13:17 (NKJV)
17 Then it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, “Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt.”

Proverbs 25:28 (NKJV)
28 Whoever has no rule over his own spirit
Is like a city broken down, without walls.

This week Pastor Travis Continues with another message called Authentic Christianity Pt.4.

These are some of the Key Scriptures:

Romans 12:9-19 (NKJV)

9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. 10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in
hope, patient [a] in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given [b] to hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion. 17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have [c] regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.

Referenced: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 (NKJV), 1 Corinthians 14:1 (NKJV), James 3:13-18 (NLT), Isaiah 1:18-19 (NKJV)

Now these three remain faith, hope and Love. The greatest is Love!

Hebrews 13:5 (NKJV)
5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

1 Timothy 6:7-8 (NKJV)
7 For we brought nothing into this world, [a] and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.

These are some of Pastor Travis' Scriptures he used:

Luke 5:37-39 (NLT)
37 “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. For the new wine would burst the
wineskins, spilling the wine and ruining the skins. 38 New wine must be stored in new
wineskins. 39 But no one who drinks the old wine seems to want the new wine. ‘The old is just fine,’ they say.”

Luke 5:30-31 (NLT)
30 But the Pharisees and their teachers of religious law complained bitterly to Jesus’
disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with such scum?

Luke 5:30-31 (NLT)
30 But the Pharisees and their teachers of religious law complained bitterly to Jesus’
disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with such scum?

Luke 5:34-35 (NLT)
34 Jesus responded, “Do wedding guests fast while celebrating with the groom? Of
course not. 35 But someday the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.”

Acts 2:46 (NKJV)
46 So continuing daily with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to
house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,

These are from Pastor Peter:

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (NKJV)
9 Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor.
10 For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

This week we have a Special Guest Rabbi Jeff Forman brings us a message about the Messiah & The Spring Feasts and Passover.

these are some of the Key Scriptures referred to:

Exodus 12:15-20 (NKJV)
15 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that [a]person shall be [b]cut off from Israel. 16 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation for you. No manner of work shall be done on them; but that which everyone must eat—that only may be prepared by you. 17 So you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I will have brought your [c]armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an everlasting ordinance. 18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty-first day of the month at evening. 19 For seven days no leaven shall be found in your houses, since whoever eats what is leavened, that same person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a stranger or a native of the land. 20 You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread.’ ”

1 Corinthians 5:6-8 (NKJV)
6 Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump? 7 Therefore [a]purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed [b]for us. 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Exodus 12:3-8 (NKJV)
3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying: ‘On the tenth of this month every man shall take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household. 4 And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the persons; according to each man’s need you shall make your count for the lamb. 5 Your lamb shall be without[a] blemish, a male [b]of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats. 6 Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight. 7 And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it. 8 Then they shall eat the flesh on that night; roasted in fire, with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

Matthew 28:18-19 (NKJV)

us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.

God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. [a] Now we call him, “Abba,
Father.”

11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to

1 Corinthians 13:13 (NKJV)
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

1 Cor 13:1-7 (NKJV)
13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body [a]to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not [b]puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, [c]thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Ephesians 5:25-28 (NKJV)
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might [a]sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself.

Romans 5:1-5 (NLT), 5:29-30 (NKJV), Philippians 2:3-4 (NKJV).

It's not Hard work, It's Heart work.
