3Crosses Church

In this Palm Sunday message, we see Jesus revealed as a different kind of king—one who doesn’t conquer through power, but through sacrifice, confronting sin, death, and broken systems to bring true freedom. As Holy Week unfolds, we’re invited to recognize that His ultimate victory wasn’t on a throne, but through the cross and resurrection, where He pursued a personal relationship with us at any cost.

On Palm Sunday, we ask: what kind of king is Jesus Christ? Walking through Holy Week, we see a King who confronts hypocrisy, defeats sin and death, and ultimately gives everything to pursue a relationship with us. This message invites you to experience the weight—and the beauty—of the week that changed everything. Palm Sunday • Danny Strange

This week, Pattie Krohn walks through James 3:13–18, exploring the difference between earthly wisdom and wisdom from above. True wisdom begins with a pure heart and flows outward in peace, humility, and generosity, while earthly wisdom is driven by envy and selfish ambition. Discover how we can receive God’s wisdom through awe, surrender, and community—and experience the good life it produces.

James contrasts two wisdoms competing for allegiance. Earthly wisdom fractures, elevates self, and produces disorder. Wisdom from above is singular, pure, peaceable, and fruitful. The single-minded life learns to see the world through God’s wisdom alone, cultivating peace and righteousness wherever it goes.From our "A Study Through James" series • Pattie Krohn

Why do our words cause so much damage—even when we don’t mean them to? In this message from James 3:1–12, Austin Payne explores how the tongue reveals the condition of the heart and how Jesus offers not just forgiveness for our words, but a new source for them.

James reveals speech as a diagnostic of inner wholeness. A divided heart produces contradictory speech — praise and cursing from the same mouth. A single-minded life produces consistency because it flows from a unified source. Maturity is revealed not merely in belief, but in the everyday words that shape relationships and direction.From our "A Study Through James" series • Austin Payne

In this week’s message, Danny Strange walks through James 2:14–26 and the relationship between faith and deeds. While we are saved by faith alone, the kind of faith that truly saves never stays alone—it transforms how we live. Discover how the Gospel is meant to shape our words, compassion, and everyday decisions.

James confronts compartmentalized faith. A double-minded person treats faith as important but peripheral — a belief that exists alongside self-directed living. A single-minded person allows faith to become the core from which all action flows. Works do not earn salvation; they reveal where allegiance truly resides.From our "A Study Through James" series • Danny Strange

In this episode pastor Danny dives into James 2:1–13 to unpack how favoritism reveals the world’s value system in us and why mercy is the antidote God gives. Through real-life examples and Scripture, Danny shows how receiving mercy from Christ empowers us to see and stop for others the way Jesus does.

James addresses how divided perspective distorts community. Favoritism emerges when believers allow the world’s value system to pollute God’s view of people. The single-minded life sees others through the mercy of God alone — not through wealth, appearance, or influence. A single-minded church becomes a place where dignity flows from grace, not status.From our "A Study Through James" series • Danny Strange
