Crosswalk Chattanooga Podcast

The Beautiful Upset series concludes in Mark 15 and 16 with the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. This Easter weekend, with Jesus now risen, we ask, "Who did He come here for?"

Today's episode takes us to the Garden of Gethsemane and Jesus' final moments before the cross. His decision brings us face-to-face with our own. Because He paid the price, our lives are changed forever.

Today's episode follows Jesus into Jerusalem in Mark chapter 11, and the beginning of the week of His crucifixion. Experience the movement of God accelerating the story of salvation in three parts: the donkey, the table, and the tree.

In today's episode, we consider the dissonance demonstrated by James and John's request of Jesus in Mark 10. As it turns out, Jesus will give them seats beside Him in His mission. However, in doing so, He will turn their world upside down and reorder our expectations of what it means to be a follower of Christ.

Today's episode takes us to Mark 9 and the story of Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration. Join us as He pushes us past our initial inclinations, down into the valley, and headlong into the brokenness and pain of the world.

This is episode 1 of our new sermon series exploring the surprising acts and words of Jesus in the Gospel of Mark, titled Beautiful Upset. In Mark 8, Jesus asks His disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" And, while they use the correct language, He reveals that they don't really get it. Join us as Jesus tips our understanding upside down in the Beautiful Upset.

Today, Pastor Dave leads a study of 2 Kings 7, a story of desperate hunger, finding what we need, and the call to share beyond ourselves.

Today's episode explores the tragic story of Tamar, Amnon, and Absalom. We consider the family system that David cultivated and the role our faith community can play in strengthening hurting families.

Today, we travel through challenging and painful portions of 2 Samuel 11 and 12. Not only has David engaged in an adulterous act, but it was likely not entirely consensual. Maybe it included some of the worst forms of abuse. Amazingly, even here, we find our own lives represented in the text. Jesus meets us in our worst moments, offering healing for the abused, providing forgiveness, and change fo...
