The Crossing Church

Colossians 1:12-20 ESV   12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. 13 He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. 15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by him all things were c...

We Are A Local Church with a Global impact We believe God has called us to love our neighbors locally and internationally. When Jesus said “Go into all the world” there was no distinction between home and foreign missions. To Jesus it was all world evangelism. Our prayer is that our church would raise up leaders and expand the kingdom here in Chattanooga and in nations all over the globe.

We Are A Church For All Generations We are not a young church or an old church. We are an intergenerational church that embraces the wisdom of the older generations and the strength of the younger generations. Our prayer is that we would overcome generational divides to become a robust faith community.

We Are A Church That Excels In Generosity We believe that God is radically generous. He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing so we too are radically generous. We give our time, our abilities, and our financial resources for the good of the body of Christ and the advancement of the Kingdom of God around the world. Our prayer is that generosity would take root in the heart of every member of...

We Are A Church Strong In Spirit And Grounded In The Word… We want everything we do to be filled with the Spirit of God and informed by the Word of God. Our gatherings, both large and small,  will be characterized by a passionate pursuit of the Presence of God coupled with a hunger for the truth of God’s Word. Our prayer is that the combination of Community, Word, and Spirit would produce dis...

Revelation 4:1–3 NLT  1 “Then as I looked, I saw a door standing open in heaven, and the same voice I had heard before spoke to me like a trumpet blast. The voice said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this.” And instantly I was in the Spirit, and I saw a throne in heaven and someone sitting on it. The one sitting on the throne was as brilliant as gemstones—like jaspe...

Psalms 119:11 NIV  11 I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

Exodus 34:7 ESV  7 keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation.

Exodus 34:5-6 ESV  5 The Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. 6 The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness,

Exodus 34:6  The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord (YAHWEH), the Lord (YAHWEH), a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness,

The Name is spiritual warfare. We have a name that is above every other name and every demonic elohim (spirit being) we may come up against in the unseen realm.

What’s in a name? What do you believe about God?

Jeremiah 5:26-31 Jeremiah 6:16

James 5:13-18 ESV  13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven...

James 4:7-10 ESV   7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

Do not let anything come out of your mouth that does not line up with the word of God.

James 2:14-26 ESV  14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? 17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works...

James 2:9-10  But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it.

James 1:16 ESV   16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.

John 7:37-39 ESV  37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” 39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus...

Mark 5:25-29 (ESV) 25 And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, 26 and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. 27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. 28 For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” 29 &nbsp...
