The Crossing: Windsor Crossing Podcast (Audio)

Are you ready? No really, are you? Sometimes people say they're ready, but what they really mean is they still need fifteen minutes before they walk out the door. Know anyone like that? Whether or not that describes someone you know, the Bible tells us that we need to be ready. Ready for what? Lead Pastor Greg Holder helps us figure that out.

Ever hear a story that just doesn't make sense? Jesus told a few of those. People would be left scratching their heads, wondering what He was talking about. Turns out sometimes things don't make sense to us because we aren't seeing the whole picture. Lead Pastor Greg Holder shares just one of these Jesus stories, and why sometimes God's grace is so good, it leaves us scratching our heads...

Jesus wants us to serve those in need. Yeah, we know, you kind of expect a church to say something like that, right? But have you ever stopped to ask why it's important? Jesus had a few ideas, but they might not be exactly what you think. Dale Tiemann and Tony Biaggne offer up a different perspective on what it really means to help those who are considered "the least of these."

Our Father, who art in... You know the rest, right? Yeah, we're talking about prayer. God loves it when we talk openly about our concerns and needs, but if prayer really works, what does that mean for us and how do we go about it? Lead Pastor Greg Holder shares some insights on what it means to talk openly with God and why it matters so much.

Lead Pastor Greg Holder is going to take us through what scripture teaches about baptism -- what this step means, what it doesn't, and why it matters so much.

Scripture says there is nothing we could ever do that God won't forgive... well, except for one thing. GASP! CHOKE! FAINT! What!?! It's true. It's called "the unpardonable sin," and Lead Pastor Greg Holder will help us look together at just what that means.

Most of us aren't strangers to the notion that Jesus was all about putting the needs of others first. But what many don't realize is that this ideal is more than just an act of good will; it is one of the most critical characteristics to living out the will of God. Lead Pastor Greg Holder explains the role of a servant as told in the book of Matthew and why it's a bigger deal than most think.

Let's face it: being a part of the "in" crowd is something we all want in one way or another. But to be "in" means there's a line drawn somewhere, and that means someone must always be "out". Lead Pastor Greg Holder talks about the inclusivity of Jesus as we look at a passage that some consider to be one of the most misunderstood moments in Scripture.

Sometimes we face rough times, don't we? Jesus tells us that troubles will come and storms will happen. He promises us, though, that we can lean on Him in the middle of it all. Youth Pastor Ben Weaver points us to the One who calms the storm.

Lead Pastor Greg Holder continues our series as we explore the accounts of one Gospel writer whose life was transformed by Jesus. As we continue this journey in the book of Matthew, we'll discover more of what Jesus wants us to be about, with an incredible promise of His own presence as the "God With Us."

It’s the most important moment in history. All of our hope hinges on one event: the Resurrection, when The With Us God conquered sin and death for us.

Next week we will celebrate the greatest victory ever won. Jesus conquers death through the resurrection. But the only way to get there is through the cross. None of us were there, but Jesus had you and me in mind. Lead Pastor Greg Holder points us to the meaning of the cross, and a "with us" God who suffers on our behalf.

Jesus knows that difficulty lies ahead; he knows that his followers are going to need some tangible reminders to cling to as their story unfolds. So before the tough stuff goes down he shares a significant and meaningful meal with his friends, and reminds them of his Father's faithfulness. Lead Pastor Greg Holder invites us to the upper room and shows us how Jesus wanted us to remember, too.

At the height of Rome's power a person would be put to death if they so much as sneezed wrong. But Jesus was a perfect, sinless person. What could he have possibly done to get on someone's bad side? Actually, quite a lot, depending on the person. Lead Pastor Greg Holder shares a few "woes" from Jesus that left many people wondering just what they were going to do with this supposed Messiah.

There are many words that describe what life with Jesus is like. Fulfilling? Oh yes. More joyful? Without question. Easy? Um... actually... no. Lead Pastor Greg Holder will share some startling truths about the With Us God and the rocky paths He walks us through.
