The Crossing: Windsor Crossing Podcast (Audio)

It's the story that changes everything: God humbles Himself to become a part of His own creation, is born in a small town to a young poor family, and the world is never the same. Join us for one of our Christmas services as Lead Pastor Greg Holder reminds us once again that the birth of the Christ child is still changing everything.

The birth of Jesus changes everything. It's no wonder we celebrate it in such a big way. But for a few blessed folks, He was changing them before He was even born. Lead Pastor Greg Holder tells the often over-looked story of another pregnant woman and the promise she received.

God isn't afraid to go big. Just take a peek at the stars tonight if you need more proof. But even in His grandness, God wants all of us to experience Him on a smaller and much more personal level. Lead Pastor Greg Holder takes us through a story in scripture of a man who comes face-to-face with an ancient promise fulfilled through a Savior.

There's a ton to be thankful for here at The Crossing. For one thing, we get to thank God for what we've been talking about: How God has called us to this life with Him. Each of our campuses takes time to celebrate all that He has done.

We don't put a lot of stock into ordinary things. In fact, most of us want a life that is exciting, new, and, well, extraordinary. But no matter how hard we try, life isn't always fireworks and water slides. Did you ever stop to think there's a reason for this? Pastor Randall Littleton gives insight to this idea of why God wants us to pay attention to every moment in our lives... even the ordinary ones.

What does it mean to follow Jesus? A lot of things. But there's one word associated with being a disciple of Christ that most aren't too comfortable with. Lead Pastor Greg Holder tells us about one thing God requires from each of us.

What if someone told you, "Discovering your calling in life is easy." How would you respond? Nod and give a thumbs up or roll your eyes and say, "Yeah, right"? We launch part three of this series with Lead Pastor Greg Holder addressing this whole concept of calling and why our search for significance might just be from God Himself.

Ever have strong opinions about how certain things should go? Do you like to be in control? Fenton Youth Pastor Ben Weaver teaches us the beautiful and challenging discipline of surrendering to a God who knows what's best.

Hey all you hard-working people out there. You really do work hard, don't you? Sometimes life seems to be nothing more than the daily grind, and we could all use a change of pace now and then. God agrees. Associate Pastor Tim Bounds unpacks another great tool in the spiritual life, one that truly is as enjoyable as it is practical: Sabbath.

There are times when it's good to be nice and quiet. Now isn't one of those times. If you haven't guessed already, it's time for our annual Worship Blowout. Lead Pastor Greg Holder and our worship team take us through a day of stories, worship, a chance to look back at what God has done at The Crossing, worship, prayer, worship, celebration, and probably some worship. Also, we'll probably do some worship.

Growing spiritually can be a challenge, but it's even harder when we try to do it in isolation. The Bible tells us over and over that this journey we are on is something we're supposed to do in the company of others. Fenton's Campus Pastor Ron Sweet teaches us why community is a must when it comes to life with God.

For centuries, it has been researched, scrutinized, translated, and treasured, and through it all it has stood the test of time. Most of us would agree - the Bible is a special book. But when it comes to actually reading it for ourselves, it can be hard to know where to start. Youth Pastor Rob Bergman gives us some practical advice on how to dig into the Word of God.

Here's the truth about this thing called life: It's tough. It's got its fair share of ups and downs, and chances are you're going to experience a lot of them. The good news is that Jesus offers us a number of practical tools to help us face any situation, both easy and difficult. Associate Pastor Tim Bounds introduces a few of these disciplines as we gain ground on our new summer series, trACTION.

For months we've been talking about this God who moved in close to do life with each of us. Individually. Personally. But how do we learn to listen and even respond in those moments when it seems clear He is trying to tell us something? Our longtime friend, Pastor Jarrett Stevens from Soul City Church in Chicago talks about what it means to follow the Holy Spirit's lead.

If you haven't heard, something pretty special is about to happen this weekend. Hundreds of folks will be stepping into the waters of baptism and reminding us of the joy that comes from a life with God. Lead Pastor Greg Holder puts a bow on this huge series by sharing real stories of changed lives, all because of this God With Us.
