Crosswalk Chattanooga Podcast

During this second season of our Belonging series, we've explored several unique miracles that Jesus used to express His desire that we experience community. Today, we consider His most incredible miracle of belonging: you.

Among all of Jesus' many miracles, there is just one He uses to destroy. Matthew and Mark record this miracle as an actual event that occurred during Jesus' last week before the crucifixion. Luke writes a parable of the cursed fig tree. Join us as Pastor Dave explores what this unique miracle tells us about God's call to belonging.

In today's teaching, Pastor Dave leads a study of John 2, and Jesus' miracle turning water into wine. Join us as we consider how Jesus builds a culture of belonging through the multiplication of joy.

This is Chattanooga's first opportunity to experience the new lead pastor for our Redlands Campus, Pastor Andreas Beccai. He will lead us through the second episode of Belonging Season 2, which explores John's telling of the feeding of the 5000 and what it teaches us about the importance and power of community.

Today, the second season of the Belonging series launches with a study of Matthew 14, where Jesus and Peter walk on the water. Join Pastor Dave Ferguson as we unpack an uncomfortable truth: we don't need the boat; we need Jesus.

Today we spend our campus week with one last lesson from Nehemiah. The walls are built, and the city rests in safety. Finished, right? Sometimes crossing the finish line is only the beginning... There is more.

The conclusion of our series visits Nehemiah 6 and the sneakiest of all attacks on the progress of God's movement. Facilitated by enemies, the workers must battle back distraction, discouragement, and compromise to complete the wall in a miraculous 52 days. Here we find helpful principles for our journey as a faith community.

In this fifth episode, our story of Nehemiah leads us through the challenges that arise from inside the walls of church and belonging. So often, the most damaging attacks come from fellow believers rather than complete outsiders. Meanwhile, we are called to be the Body of Christ... the Lamb slain for those in need of forgiveness.

In this episode of Nehemiah, excellent forward progress is achieved on the wall due to a basic repeatable principle. But our story isn't entirely rosy. As predictable as our own lives, difficulties accompany the progress.

In Nehemiah 2:11-18, our study turns to the author's arrival in Jerusalem. This passage reveals valuable lessons on leading change and adopting the eyes of Jesus as He calls us to build a community of belonging.

The second episode of our series walks through he first half of the second chapter of Nehemiah. Pastor Dave leads us to consider the power of God to use us to accomplish impossible things.

Today, Pastor Dave launches a new series on the first half of the book of Nehemiah. Chapter one throws us into the disheartening problem facing Jerusalem, Nehemiah's concern, and the practices of prayer that sync our hearts with God.

For this Campus Week, our Chattanooga campus studies a prologue to the upcoming series on the book of Nehemiah. Join us as Pastor Dave sets the background with a look at the challenge of setting our priorities to the Kingdom of God through the story of Haggai.

Today, we conclude the Liturgy for Life series by considering the spiritual discipline of rest and Sabbath. Join us as Pastor Dave encourages us to cast aside everything that weighs us down (Hebrews 12:1) and invites us to sink deep into the love of Jesus.

In this episode, Pastor Dave teaches on the personal disciplines of prayer, fasting, silence and solitude. Join us as we consider God's suggestions for breaking our patterns of disconnection in favor of closer communication with Him.

In today's episode, Pastor Dave focuses on the spiritual disciplines of confession and forgiveness. And as we observe this liturgy, we consider the unique practice of lament.

During our second episode in the Liturgy for Life series, Pastor Dave explores the practices of gratitude and giving and considers how these disciplines align us with the heart of God.

Pastor Jon Ciccarelli is the Discipleship Pastor for our Redlands campus and wrote the current series guide, Liturgy for Life. Join us today as Pastor Dave shares a special Father's Day greeting and Pastor Jon launches the series in a study of the spiritual discipline of worship.

Today, we celebrate Volunteer Expo on the Chattanooga campus. Shastin Rains, our Experience Director, shares the calling she has found in Jesus and invites us to join the spiritual adventure of service.

Today Ron Aguilera, executive pastor for our Redlands campus, is our guest teacher. In this, our final episode, we study Hebrews 12 and the exhortation to keep our eyes on Jesus, the Champion who perfects our faith.

In today's episode, Pastor Dave leads us through a study of "The Faith Chapter", Hebrews 11, as we explore God's call on our lives.

As we pass the midpoint of our series on the book of Hebrews, Pastor Dave reflects on the main point from the writer's perspective. Join us as we peek through the shadows to glimpse what Jesus is up to.

Welcome to the third week in our study of Hebrews. Today we explore the difference between spiritual milk and meat, and observations about Jesus as our high priest from the type of Melchizedek. So join us as we consider the invitation to be pilgrims (as C.S. Lewis would describe it) rather than spiritual tourists. .

Drifting can be a pleasant relaxation. But the early chapters of Hebrews consistently warn that believers might be wandering into danger. Join Pastor Dave in this exploration of Hebrews 3 and 4 as we consider God's solution to spiritual drift.

Today, we launch a new series studying the book of Hebrews titled Better Promises. Join Pastor Milton Marquez (lead pastor at our Point Loma campus in San Diego) as he explores chapters one and two.
