The Crossing: Windsor Crossing Podcast (Audio)

Hybrid cars. The iPhone. Those really nasty energy shakes. These are some things that empower us to tackle whatever it is the big bad world throws our way. But what happens when the world throws something that is so big, so dangerous, that it has the potential to overpower us? Paul faced something like that. But instead of running, Paul stood strong on something Jesus said about a real source of power that He made available to all that believed.

Mornings can be a tricky thing depending on who you are or what you did the night before. Some wake up slowly with the sunrise while others enjoy the jarring sound of an alarm clock to get them going. Today we are celebrating the moment when the world woke up to an ancient promise and a love that could not be stopped even by death.

Today is all about two cities, two men, and a big crowd with bigger expectations. And when those expectations aren't met to their liking, both crowds are forced to do the same thing we're trying to do today: Figure out what we are going to do with this man named Jesus.

Europe. It's a continent. It's a band. It's got strudels, noodles and a tower named Eiffel. It's also that next destination for Paul's big road trip. And, just like any good road trip, you just never know what you're gonna run into. This particular leg of the journey will introduce us to a possessed woman, a moment where Paul ticks off the locals (again), and the first convert in Europe.

Associate Pastor, Randall Littleton, brings a unique look at why making lists is good and bad.

Remember the cool kids lunch table in high school? If you sat at it, wow, did it feel good. If you didn't, well, not so good. Those tables still exist long after high school, though they take different forms. And we've all been excluded from the table at some point. Get ready as Acts takes an outsider's perspective. See how God asks an unlikely participant to sit at the table and lead the church in a bold new direction.

Associate Pastor, Jon Dubroc, leads in a glimpse of Paul's first missionary journey and why we have missionaries today...

Prayer is a tricky thing. When it works we're very happy people. But when it doesn't, we get a little wonky. Why isn't God answering? What does this mean? So, is prayer really that elusive, or is it possible that we should be entering prayer from a different angle? This weekend we'll talk about a man who was literally locked away leaving him utterly dependent on prayer as a means for conversation, hope and escape.

Want to know the biggest problem with grace? It's for everyone, even people you don't like. This weekend we'll follow the story of one man who crossed cultural borders to spread the gospel despite the disapproval of his own people.

He smiled when Stephen was stoned to death. His one wish was to kill every Christian he came across. Then, suddenly, Paul changed from a hateful man to one of God's most endearing messengers. So what about you? What does it take for people to change, and how do we really peel off our history in exchange for a life with God?

What do you get when you take a guy with a really shady past and a hot temper and combine it with a blinding spiritual encounter? Did you guess "one of the most significant church leaders in history?" This weekend we get a glimpse of how an encounter with Jesus changed someone for life, and as a result, changed the course of history.

The following word has been known to cause migraines, arguments and upset tummies. You've been warned. Here it is: money. (We told you). Truth is, we take this word seriously around here and so does God. This weekend Greg Holder will be back to look at what scripture says about our finances and how we can learn to trust God with this delicate area of our lives.

Some Monkeys, A Love Story and a Wrestling Match

The birth of Jesus. It's something that we celebrate. It's an event that changed history. The truth is God knew what was coming way before the actual birth. In fact, He began telling the story of Jesus to Adam and Eve. Yeah, way back then. The story is that big.
