The Crossing Church

Using King Uzziah's life in 2 Chronicles 26, Pastor Chad taught that pride is the greatest threat to God's favor. While success and blessings can tempt us to rely on ourselves, humility keeps us dependent on God and open to His grace. True humility grows through worship as our focus shifts from ourselves to God's holiness, allowing His favor and presence to remain at work in our lives.

Pastor Chad challenged the church to see success not by attendance or programs, but by how effectively it spreads the Word of God. Drawing from the book of Acts and reflecting on a recent mission trip to Spain, he showed how God used the early church to overcome growth, persecution, and changing ministry needs so that the gospel continued to increase, multiply, spread throughout entire regions, an...

Guest Speaker Tom Madden teaches that the greatest legacy a father can leave is not wealth, success, or achievement, but a life devoted to God that influences future generations. Drawing from the lives of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, he warns of the consequences of drifting from God while encouraging fathers to lead their families in faith, prioritize the house of God, and model the love of...

Pastor Chad teaches that God’s favor is not measured by outward success, but by God’s presence in our lives. Through Joseph’s story, he explains that God remains with us through seasons of hardship, uses trials to develop our character, faithfully delivers us from affliction, and ultimately works His purposes in ways we could never accomplish on our own. The message reminds believers that God’s fa...

Pastor Chad teaches that God’s favor is not something we earn, but something that flows from a relationship with Him. Using Noah’s story, he explains that God looks for people who trust and obey His Word rather than following their own desires, and that living by faith is what pleases God. He emphasizes that God’s favor is ultimately given not just for our benefit, but so we can fulfill His purpos...

Pastor Chad’s sermon emphasized that the Christian life, from beginning to end, depends on the Holy Spirit rather than human effort. Using Galatians 5, Pastor Chad taught that believers are saved, sustained, transformed, and assured of their relationship with God through the Holy Spirit. He contrasted two ineffective approaches to life with God—religious self-righteousness and rebellious self-indu...

On Pentecost Sunday, Pastor Chad preached that God is intentionally guiding history through “days, hours, and seasons,” and that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at 9 a.m. on the Day of Pentecost was not random, but part of God’s redemptive plan between Christ’s first coming and His return. Drawing from Acts 2,he challenged believers to live as Spirit-filled people who order their lives around Go...

This Next Gen Sunday sermon used Ezekiel 37’s Valley of Dry Bones to teach that no person or generation is too far gone for God to restore. The speakers connected modern struggles like anxiety, brokenness, and searching for fulfillment apart from God with Israel’s spiritual condition, emphasizing that true life comes through God’s Word, obedience, and the Holy Spirit. Through stories like Lazarus...

Pastor Chad taught that Jesus carried the Holy Spirit “without measure,” living in constant connection to God’s limitless power and wisdom, and that believers are invited into that same Spirit-led life. Centering on John the Baptist’s words, “He must increase, but I must decrease,” Pastor Chad explained that true joy and abundance are not found through self-promotion or success, but through closen...

Pastor Chad taught that the Holy Spirit isn’t a downgrade from Jesus but His ongoing, personal presence—our helper who reveals Christ, applies the gospel to our lives, and brings both past truth and future hope into the present, especially when believers gather together.

Pastor Chad teaches that the church is meant to live and operate in the power of the Holy Spirit, not just natural ability. He explains from Acts that while believers receive the Holy Spirit at salvation, there is also a deeper, ongoing experience—being “baptized” or filled with the Spirit—that empowers them for ministry and often includes speaking in tongues. Using the image of full immersion, he...

Guest Speaker, Pastor Justin Goodson, teaches that every believer is called to ministry—helping others reconnect with God—using Gideon’s story in Judges 6 to show God uses ordinary people despite insecurity, past struggles, and fear. The message urges listeners to stop making excuses, trust how God sees them, and take one step of obedience into their calling.

Pastor Chad’s sermon on Resurrection Hope from 1 Peter 1:3–9 emphasizes that because of Jesus’ resurrection, believers have a living hope that sustains them through every season of life. He teaches that this hope is rooted in three truths: we are born again by God’s mercy , we have an eternal inheritance waiting for us , and we can have confidence even in trials , because God uses them to refine o...

This Easter sermon from Pastor Chad centers on the idea that “stones” throughout the Bible tell the story of the gospel: from the stone of beauty in creation showing God’s perfect design, to the stone of judgment revealing humanity’s sin and need for justice, to the shepherd’s stone pointing to unexpected deliverance through Jesus. He explains that on the cross, Jesus took the judgment we deserve,...

astor Chad’s Palm Sunday sermon centers on the deeper meaning of the palm branches as a symbol of rejoicing and recognition of Jesus as King, while correcting the crowd’s misunderstanding of what kind of King He truly is. Drawing from John 12 and Zechariah 9, he emphasizes that Jesus is a humble King who brings salvation not through political power but through sacrifice, a King who speaks true pea...

Pastor Chad’s sermon focuses on the early Christian fish symbol ( ichthus ) as a powerful summary of the gospel: “Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior.” He explains that “Christ” means Jesus is the long-awaited Messiah who fulfills God’s promises, “Son of God” declares His unique identity as fully God and fully human, and “Savior” reveals His ultimate mission through the cross. The message builds to t...

Pastor Chad taught that the cross, once a symbol of shame and punishment in the Roman world, became the greatest symbol of hope because of Jesus. He explained that the real problem in the world is the evil and sin present in every human heart, which separates us from God. From the beginning of Scripture, God promised a coming Savior who would defeat evil and restore humanity. Jesus fulfilled that...

In this sermon, Pastor Terry explains the significance of the Lord’s Supper by connecting it to the Old Testament Passover and showing how it ultimately points to Jesus Christ. He teaches that just as the blood of the Passover lamb protected Israel from judgment, Jesus is the true Lamb whose body was broken and whose blood established a new covenant that brings forgiveness, freedom from sin, and e...

Pastor Chad’s sermon centers on the idea that the “good news” of the gospel begins with understanding the seriousness of sin. Using the image of the fig leaf from Genesis 3, he explains that sin is not just a mistake but a rebellious condition within us that brings shame and separation from God. Like Adam and Eve, people try to cover that shame with “fig leaves” such as success, morality, or image...

Using John 4, he shows that just as Jesus was sustained by obeying the Father, believers are called to move beyond simply receiving from God into being sent by Him—sharing the gospel in everyday life. The...

Preaching from the Gospel of John 1, Pastor Chad’s message “Come and See” emphasizes that sharing the gospel isn’t about obligation but overflow—when people truly encounter Jesus, they can’t help but invite others. Highlighting Jesus’ “I Am” statements and stories like Andrew, Philip, and the Samaritan woman, he shows that the gospel spreads through simple, relational invitations. The call is to s...

Pastor Chad preached from Acts 8, showing that God uses ordinary, Spirit-filled people to share the good news of Jesus with everyone. Using Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch, he taught that evangelism isn’t about being a super-Christian or having all the answers, but about listening to the Holy Spirit, listening to people, and obeying when God leads. The gospel is truly for all people, and when ever...
