Crossing Church with Clayton Hentzel

As we consider all of the problems that must be navigated and all of the challenges that must be confronted, Peter reminds his readers and the Holy Spirit reminds us, we have all that we need. -- Download the One Crossing app: https://thecrossing.net/app To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://thecrossing.net/giving Helping people come...

Faith in Jesus tells your heart that you are not the same person you were. Your heart begins by working on your thought life and if your thought life changes, it will begin to affect what you do and what you say. -- Download the One Crossing app: https://thecrossing.net/app To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://thecrossing.net/giving...

Walking by faith is like walking through life backward.  You can’t see where you’re going but you can see where you’ve been - listening for direction from God. -- Download the One Crossing app: https://thecrossing.net/app To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://thecrossing.net/giving Helping people come to an intimate and personal...

If there is ever a time that it’s clear that we need the wisdom of God, it’s in navigating our relationships while being ambassadors of grace. -- Download the One Crossing app: https://thecrossing.net/app To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://thecrossing.net/giving Helping people come to an intimate and personal relationship with Jes...

Circumstances can tempt us to lower the bar in life. Paul writes to another son in the faith, Titus, with very specific instructions about what Godly men are supposed to look like and how they are to act. -- Download the One Crossing app: https://thecrossing.net/app To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://thecrossing.net/giving Helping...

Paul writes to Timothy, a young man with a giant task. He is trying to lead a church and make a difference and it feels uphill both ways! So Paul gives him pictures. -- Download the One Crossing app: https://thecrossing.net/app To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://thecrossing.net/giving Helping people come to an intimate and persona...

There are two institutions that God ordained for people to experience. A family and a church. Both are integral to the health, well being, and salvation of the individual. The calling on Timothy’s life is beautiful and holy but the price tag, the cost, is immense. -- Download the One Crossing app: https://thecrossing.net/app To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around...

Jesus said that before He returned, the world would go through a difficult time of lawlessness and rebellion, the seams of society would come apart, and it would be unlike any time we have faced in the world. It’s easy to look at our current circumstances and think this is happening right now! The Thessalonians thought the same. It’s easy to give in to the lower story circumstances. -- Download th...

Infants require constant care and attention, all dependent on the parent. They can’t talk, walk, or do much of anything for themselves. Now apply that scenario to the Thessalonians. -- Download the One Crossing app: https://thecrossing.net/app To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://thecrossing.net/giving Helping people come to an inti...

Every great act of love demands a response! And the response tells us a lot about the person receiving the love.

The phrase that describes the Philippian church and the book of Philippians is "upside down." Paul writes to this church calling them to live an upside-down life. He pushed forth a new ethic, a contrarian ethic. A life of upside-down behavior. -- Download the One Crossing app: https://thecrossing.net/app To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here:...

Everything you could ever want or hope for that is truly good is already yours. That is the theme of the book of Ephesians. Many of the letters that Paul wrote to the early church were about “Christ in you”. -- Download the One Crossing app: https://thecrossing.net/app To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://thecrossing.net/giving...

Freedom runs deep in the human soul because God made us for it. It’s part of being made in His image. We can’t understand the value of freedom until we know what it feels like to live in the absence of it. Freedom isn’t free. -- Download the One Crossing app: https://thecrossing.net/app To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://thecrossi...

Paul writes 2 Corinthians to the same group of people he wrote 1 Corinthians. To a church that he loved, a church that he planted. They didn’t know what to believe and they didn’t know what to do. So what do you do when you don’t know what to believe and you don’t know what to do? -- Download the One Crossing app: https://thecrossing.net/app To support this ministry and help us continue to reach p...

The Corinthian church was taking their freedom in Christ and creating a permission slip to do as they please without regard for how it might impact those around them. -- Download the One Crossing app: https://thecrossing.net/app To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: https://thecrossing.net/giving Helping people come to an intimate and person...

Our solutions were never in the will or the power of man.  We’ve never been able to come up with a solution nor will we ever.

Luke gives us the most comprehensive view of the life of Christ. As a doctor, Luke investigates and diagnoses the deepest problem in both his and our world - the problem of sin and our need for a Savior.  Jesus is the cure and His word is the cure. -- Download the One Crossing app: https://thecrossing.net/app To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world c...

Mark was acting as a scribe or writer to an eyewitness - Simon Peter.  It was probably written while Peter was in prison in Rome. The book of Mark reads the way Peter viewed Jesus.

Pentecost marked a significant transition. Jesus’ work of redemption is complete, but not the work of ministry and proclamation. For much of Jesus’ ministry, he did the primary work of preaching and teaching, but now the responsibility is passed on to his followers. -- Download the One Crossing app: https://bit.ly/2oQBeJi To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the...

The people in Jesus’ life weren’t celebrating that first Easter, but hiding and cowering in fear. But Jesus is risen and it changes everything.

It was a typical day in Jerusalem. People there were used to the crucifixions. Remember, there were three happening that day.
