The Crossing: Windsor Crossing Podcast (Audio)

Our new series "A Most Difficult Word" kicks off with something that is really, really difficult...asking for forgiveness. Did you ever stop to consider what it really means & why it's so important to God? The answer might surprise you.

This weekend we end our Unfrozen series with a look at the last sentence of The Lord's Prayer. It may look like a closing sentence, but really, it's just the beginning.

Ever since the world began, folks have been faced with temptations - desires to veer off course in favor instant gratification. It’s no wonder that when Jesus taught us how to pray, He said that we should ask for God’s strength to help in us the battle.

It's tough to ask for things sometimes, isn't it? A lot of us grew up being taught we should be totally self-reliant & independent. Jesus shows us a different way in this prayer we've been looking at. We're about to find an incredibly personal way to keep the conversation open between us & God.

You might have said it, prayed it or read it, but what does it really mean when Jesus teaches us to pray, "Your kingdom come, your will be done"? Lead Pastor Greg Holder dives back into the Lord's prayer.

It's considered one of the most profound prayers ever written. Whether you've committed it to memory or have never heard it before, the Lord's Prayer gives us great instructions on how to talk to God, what to ask for and what we can expect when we pray.

There's nothing wrong with observing the action from the sidelines. It's a good way to learn and stay safe...especially if you're at a football game. But when it comes to faith, God doesn't want observing. He wants us right in the middle of the action.

Get a life. Ever heard someone say that before? Take away the sting of rudeness and you'll find a nugget of truth. God created us to have a life full of experiences designed to celebrate His goodness and character. Today we look at why experiencing the worship of God is vital to maturing our faith.

Growth happens all around us. In fact, growth is expected to happen when it comes to things like trees and kids. What about faith? Sometimes we feel like we're not growing at all. Today we'll plant some new seeds designed to help you grow your faith.

Think about the last time you had a major accomplishment in your life. How long did it take you until you were saying, "Ok, what next?". But that's life, right? We work hard to get from point A to point B, only to find point B has become the new point A.

Bobby McFerrin told us to don't worry, be happy. Mary Poppins told us to take our medicine with a spoonful of sugar. Today our good friend, David Hawkins, shares some concrete advice from scripture on how to handle life when it gives us lemons (and no, the answer isn't the obvious catchy phrase).

If you could ask God for one thing...just one...what would it be? Money? Fame? There's a man in scripture who was actually offered the chance to ask one thing from God. What did he ask for, and was it the right thing?

"Let me tell you a story". It's been said that the Bible is the greatest story ever told. At times, telling that story to others sounds less than great. Tony shares a few ideas to keep in mind the next time we tell the story to others.

Have you ever served on a jury before? Or maybe sat in a courtroom? No? Either way, you probably know what trial looks like. This week Youth Pastor Rob Bergman shared some scriptural insight on how to handle the trials that inevitably show up in our lives.

Greg Holder steps in to remind us that settling for a cheap imitation of God will never satisfy us.
