This Sunday at CrossView Church

The Blessing and Wonder of the Baby

Mary's “yes” to God changed everything—not just for her, but for all of us. When the angel came with news that seemed impossible, she responded with trust, and then hurried to share her joy with Elizabeth. In that moment between two cousins, something beautiful happened: recognition, blessing, and a song that still echoes today.

What does it mean to recognize God's work in unexpected places? How do we respond when we see His promises unfolding in ways we didn't anticipate?

Gather with us this Sunday as we reflect on these questions in our sermon, "The Blessing and Wonder of the Baby."

This is part of our Advent series, "Good News of Great Joy," walking through Luke 1:1-2:21. Whether you're a regular part of our church family or visiting for the first time, we'd love to have you join us.

Bible Memorization
Each month we encourage our CVC family to memorize a scripture passage. Let's commit Luke 2:8-10 to memory this month! Join us in hiding God's Word in our hearts.

He Will be Called the Son of the Most High

When the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary with news that would change everything, he spoke words that still echo through history: "He Will be Called the Son of the Most High."

What does it mean that Jesus carries this title? And how does understanding His identity as the Son of the Most High shape the way we live today?

Gather with us this Sunday as we reflect on these questions. Pastor Kyle Pratt will walk us through Luke 1:26-38 as we continue our series, Good News of Great Joy. Whether you've been with us for years or this is your first visit, there's a seat waiting for you.

This Sunday at CrossView Church

When Heaven Breaks the Silence

Have you ever experienced a season where God seemed quiet—where prayers felt like they were echoing into silence? Zechariah the priest understood that feeling all too well. For years, he and Elizabeth had hoped, prayed, and waited. But then, in an ordinary moment of temple service, heaven interrupted with extraordinary news.

What might God be doing in the seasons when He seems silent? How does waiting shape our faith in ways we might not expect?

We're beginning our sermon series Good News of Great Joy, walking through Luke 1:1-2:21 together. This week, Pastor Kyle Pratt will be opening Luke 1:5-25 with us.

Whether this is your first time visiting or you've been part of our community for years, we'd love to have you join us. Come as you are—there's a seat waiting for you.

Gather with us this Sunday as we reflect on these questions in our sermon, "When Heaven Breaks the Silence."

This Sunday at CrossView Church

We all long for fresh starts—a chance to begin again with hope restored and purpose renewed. But what does it mean when God promises to write His law not on stone tablets, but on our hearts?

What would change in your life if you truly knew God in a personal, intimate way? How might a promise like this reshape the way you see yourself and your relationship with Him?

Connect with us this Sunday as we reflect on these questions in our sermon, "The Promise of a New Covenant."

This Sunday at CrossView Church

Life often brings moments when everything seems to fall apart. In those times, we wrestle with difficult questions: Where is God when things crumble around us? Can hope exist alongside judgment?

This Sunday, we'll explore these themes as Pastor James Wychers walks us through 2 Chronicles 36:11-21—a passage that recounts the fall of Jerusalem. It's a story of consequences and exile, but also one that points toward restoration.

Gather with us this Sunday as we reflect on these questions in our sermon, "Judgment and Hope in the Fall of Jerusalem":

This Sunday at CrossView Church

What does it mean for Jesus to reign in our lives?

In 2 Samuel 7, we find King David at a turning point, reflecting on God's promises for his kingdom. As we journey through Scripture, we discover something remarkable: God's vision for His kingdom extends far beyond David's time and directly into our lives today.

What would it look like if we truly lived under the reign of Jesus? How might our relationships, our daily choices, and our futures change if we took His kingdom rule seriously?

Join us this Sunday as we explore these questions together in our sermon, David and the Kingdom of Jesus.

This Sunday, October 19 at 10 a.m. CrossView Church 750 Highview Dr., Antioch, IL

Whether you've been with us for years or you're visiting for the first time, we'd love to see you. Come as you are, and join our community as we explore what Scripture reveals about living under God's kingdom.

We'll see you Sunday!

Bible Memorization

We are focusing on memorizing key Bible verses corresponding to Pastor James’ sermon series “The Unfolding Gospel.” Memorizing Scripture is an excellent discipline for spiritual growth that allows us to focus our minds on God’s Word and so enrich our spiritual lives.

This Sunday at CrossView Church

The Light that Dawns

There's something powerful about hearing God's voice clearly for the first time. In 1 Samuel 3, we meet a young Samuel in a moment that changes everything—when he learns to recognize the voice calling his name in the darkness.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to truly hear God speak? What might change if we learned to listen more carefully?

This Sunday, Pastor James Wychers will walk us through 1 Samuel 3:1-21 and explore what it means when divine light breaks into our ordinary lives. Whether you've been following Jesus for years or you're simply curious about faith, you're welcome at our table.

Sunday, October 12 @ 10:00 AM CrossView Church 750 Highview Dr., Antioch, IL

We'd love to see you there—bring your questions, your stories, and an open heart.
