Welcome to Base Camp, a series about building practical spiritual rhythms that equip us for the journey of faith. Together, we'll explore how transformation happens when we stop being shaped by the world and let God renew our minds. This is not just a resolution for the new year, but a way of letting Jesus shape our lives completely. Along the way we'll unpack some practices that can help us, as w...

As we enter 2026, join us as we explore how to embrace a life of lasting impact. We unpack how God uses time to create legacies. We'll see how small, intentional choices across generations can lead to a spiritual revival that heals neighborhoods and transforms our city. Now is the time to trust God and invest our lives in what truly matters. Speaker: Greg Holder

In Ephesians 3, Paul prays for believers to grasp the multi-dimensional nature of Christ’s love—wide, long, high, and deep. Join us as we connect this biblical truth to real-life stories, showing how unconditional love brings hope, healing, and lasting change. We'll learn why God’s love is not just an emotion, but the very essence of who God is. We'll explore an invitation to experience a love tha...

Join us as we celebrate the miracle of Christ’s birth, the significance of biblical names and titles, and an invitation to experience what only Jesus can offer. We’ll trace ancient prophecies from Isaiah and the wonder of God dwelling among us. As we reflect on what we long for the most this season, we’ll see that the invitation that Jesus offers still resonates deeply today. Speaker: Greg Holder

As we prepare for Christmas, we contrast the story of two kings: Jesus and King Herod. The importance of this story traces back to Moses in the Old Testament and the longing for a Messiah to the fulfillment of prophecy in Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem. We explore the resistance to Jesus’ message, the illusion of control in our own lives, and the enduring relevance of Christ’s kingdom. Speaker: Greg Ho...

We begin to prepare our hearts for Christmas by unpacking a story about Mary from Luke 1. Speaker: Greg Holder

Waiting. None of us like it, though it seems to be an important part of human life. Join us as we explore the spiritual significance of waiting and how it connects us to the greater story of God. Advent is a time to pause and remember the deep longing that preceded the arrival of Jesus the Messiah. We'll unpack the history of the Israelites, who waited thousands of years for deliverance, and disco...

Instead of relying on self-sufficiency, what if we learned to focus on the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth, who watches over our lives? How would that shape the way we live? This message challenges us to practice generosity and cultivate spiritual health by intentionally working on our memories to recall God's faithfulness. Together, we'll see how trusting in Jesus provides the ultimate hope,...

Even heroes can experience struggles. We're exploring the story of Elijah, a major prophet in the Old Testament that experienced amazing victories. But he also experienced fear, exhaustion, and burnout. Togther, we'll see how God met him with tenderness, rest, and a gentle whisper. We'll discover how unrealistic expectations, isolation, and “soul fatigue” can distort our view of God and ourselves,...

Our God is not just "a god," but rather THE God. We explore an ancient story about God showing His supremacy over false idols. Together we'll see how these idols pop up today, whether its success, image, control, or something else. There's good news: God still brings victory to those who seek Him. Speaker: Greg Holder

Have you ever made a mistake and feel like you're just swimming in regret? Does it feel like there's nothing you could do that could make things right again? We're looking at a story about King David, where his mistakes lead not just to regret, but to a national crisis. We see how repentance and costly forgiveness in David's story ultimately point to Jesus. Speaker: Greg Holder & Chris Nation

Legacy. Setbacks. Failures. Promises. When we think about our past and our future, it is easy to get lost on a rollercoaster of wishes, regrets, goals, and hopes. We continue our Peak Experiences series at Mount Nebo, where Moses, after leading the Israelites in the desert for decades, looks at his legacy. There is a complicated mixture of joy and grief that serves as a leadership lesson to us all...

God promises us His presence and we shouldn't settle for anything less. Join us as we explore a famous story at the foot of Mount Sinai where the Israelites want God to be present with them, but on their own terms. Even today, we are tempted to squeeze God down to something less than Who He fully is, whether we realize it or not. Especially after spiritual victories, we can create "gods of our own...

We continue in the Peak Experiences series, this time unpacking the Ten Commandments. Learn how God's laws are not restrictive control but guardrails of grace and love designed to protect and guide people to freedom. We explore how God is establishing a relationship, not just regulation. We'll see how the Law acts as a mirror, revealing our need for grace and pointing us to Jesus, who fulfilled ev...

Mount Sinai. It's an important place where several pivotal events happened in the Bible, including the calling of Moses. Join us as we explore Moses' life, and how he went from regret to being called by God to enter the story in a big way. Together, we'll learn why God doesn't look for extraordinary people with perfect resumes, but ordinary people who will trust Him and take the next step. Along t...

Surrender. It's part of the faith journey that can be difficult to explain, but such a relief to experience. In week 2 of Peak Experiences, we unpack a challenging story of surrender. Isaac, the long anticipated son of Abraham, was God's promise to make a great nation for Abraham. Yet, mysteriously, God tells Abraham to sacrifice him. Abraham's willingness serves as a powerful testament to radical...

You have value. In fact, when God created humanity, the dignity of each human life was part of the entire plan. Even though sin entered the story and each of us have strayed from our perfect and loving God, there is hope for redemption. Evil, shame, and brokenness are part of this life, but they don't get the last word. God has not given up on us or this world, and the life, death, and resurrectio...

We unpack the vision and calling that God has given followers of Jesus, but then dial into some unique things that God is calling The Crossing to step into specifically. This will take faith and courage, but God has something in store for us as we continue sharing the Good News of Jesus with a watching world. Speaker: Greg Holder

Join us as we look back on this last ministry year and remember how faithful God has been. As we continue to explore God's truth, experience His grace, and express His love, we see lives change and faiths grow deeper. Speaker: Greg Holder

Grace is powerful. It overcomes shame, secrecy, failures, guilt, and more. Join us as we explore how God's grace can free us from the chains of shame and lead to a life of healing and victory in Jesus. Speaker: Dave MacNeill

Are you following Jesus from a distance or up close? Join us as we unpack how transformational it can be to have a close, personal relationship with Jesus. Together we'll explore what might be keeping you from a deeper connection, whether it's fear of the cost of freedom, shame from past sins, or confusion. We'll share how to move past these obstacles and embrace the true peace and freedom that co...

Have you ever felt unprepared? If God called you to do something for Him, would you ever really feel ready? What if that exact moment of uncertainty was what you were made for? Join us as we explore how Jesus transforms ordinary people for His purposes. Together we'll open up the Bible to learn how God doesn't call the qualified but qualifies the called, using regular people to change the world. S...

Jesus told us that life comes with many trials. But He didn't stop there. Jesus told His followers that He has overcome the world. Join us as we explore the victory that Jesus secured on the cross, how that applies to even our day-to-day struggles, and how a victorious life can flow through us as a blessing to others. Speaker: David Hawkins

Scripture says that in Christ, the old is gone and the new is here. But is "new" even possible? What does a new creation even mean? Join us as pastor Nathan Brown unpacks this passage and shows how we can shed our "old selves" and step into the new life that Christ has for each of us today. Speaker: Nathan Brown

The Lord's Prayer. It's a famous prayer that touches on nearly every part of life. Together, we walk through this prayer that Jesus taught His disciples, and take part in the two thousand year old tradition of praying these powerful words. Speaker: Greg Holder
