Crossway Christian Church: Recent Episodes
Crossway Christian Church
Welcome to the Crossway Christian Church Podcast. Whether you are at the gym, in the car, or in the office, this podcast will help us all to practice the way of Jesus together!
Redemption is a powerful and transformative concept that speaks to the human desire for second chances and the possibility of change. It is the act of being saved or rescued from a difficult or challenging situation, often involving forgiveness and restoration. Join us as we look at an incredible story about redemption.
This week we begin a new series entitled, Advent With God. Advent comes from
the Latin word, adventus, which means “coming.” During this season, Christians remember Christ’s first coming to earth 2,000 years ago. Christians anticipate Christ’s second coming when he returns to set the world right, and finish the work he began. And Christians expect Christ’s coming in the present through the work of the Holy Spirit. We begin the season of Advent by immersing ourselves in the story of Mary’s with-God life, as we discover how our ultimate identity and purpose is found in Christ.
What do our spiritual lives and our financial lives have to do with one another? According to Jesus, quite a lot. In fact he says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” This week as we continue our series, Kairos Moment, we’ll discover why this is the right time to invest in God’s kingdom-building work. As we “store up treasures in heaven,” we’ll find spiritual freedom from the worries of life and the deception of wealth.
What do you think is keeping you from growing spiritually? Some of our best writers on the Christian spiritual life suggest that areas of inner unfreedom, keep us from experiencing deeper contentment, joy and confidence in our everyday lives with God. This week, as we continue our series, Kairos Moment, we are believing that this is the right time for us to experience spiritual healing from the hurts and wounds and resentment that rob us from the life God desires for us. Perhaps this Sunday is a day for you to experience breakthrough in your spiritual journey like never before.
The Least of these. Its easy to get overwhelmed by the suffering in the world.
Unintentionally we can become numb to the suffering simply because we are inundated with so much of it. But it is clear in Matthew 25 to serve the hurting is to serve Christ.
What person in the Bible do you relate to most and why? For many people, that
character is Peter. He is bold and faithful, but flawed and real—like us. This week, we’ll discover how the With-God Journey is about progress, not perfection. Discover how you might move forward in your faith journey by learning to grow in grace.
How would you define the word, disciple? We know Jesus had 12 of them. You may even know some of their names: Peter, James, Matthew, John, etc. But are you a disciple? The reality is, we are all the disciple of someone or something. Who or what are you the disciple of? This week at Crossway, we invite you to hear Jesus’ grand invitation—perhaps like you’ve never heard it before—to be his disciple. Discover why this is life's greatest opportunity.
Celebrate all that God has done over this past year at Crossway as we present our Annual Review. While God has blessed us abundantly, this is no time to let down our guard. This is no time to grow complacent. This week, as we continue our series, The With-God Journey, we’ll hear the prophetic cry of Amos, who calls us to true worship, expressing our faith in neighborly love.
If you could ask God for anything, what would you ask him for? Israel’s third king,
Solomon, asked God for wisdom. God was pleased by Solomon’s request, and granted him the most wisdom of anyone in the land. Yet as Solomon’s reign unfolded, his wisdom waned. His rule—which started in glory—ended in disgrace. This week at Crossway, we invite you to discover how Solomon serves as a cautionary warning against the destructive power of self-deception.
Israel’s first king, Saul, started his reign with strength and valor. But his life ended
in disgrace and tragedy. What went wrong? Rather than patiently wait on God, Saul took matters into his own hands. If we’re not careful, we can fall into the same trap ourselves. This week, Pastor Dave Ripper will challenge us to overcome our besetting impatience by cultivating deeper trust in God.
God. Family. Work. In what order would you prioritize these key elements to
life? We begin the book of 1 Samuel and meet one the Bible’s most faithful mothers, Hannah, and one of the Scripture’s most disappointing fathers, Eli. How they prioritize faith and family, determine the course and direction of their lives. Discover how we might arrange our life, our work, and our family relationships according to God’s design.
Tucked away between the big stories of the Old Testament, is the small, yet powerful story of Ruth. It’s about ordinary, everyday people, who find themselves beaten down by the hardest realities of life. But the story of Ruth reminds us that a bad chapter in life isn’t the whole story. Discover how redemption might be possible in your life and your story, because God is always moving behind the scenes.
G.K. Chesterton once said, “The problem with Christianity is not that it has been
tried and found wanting, but that it has been found difficult and left untried.” Join us this week for Palm Sunday and the beginning of Holy Week, as we learn to follow Jesus’ unexpected path towards peace. He makes the life we’ve been looking for available, if we’ll only dare to trust and follow him.
Joshua chapters 2-6 mark a significant moment in Israelite history. They cross the
Jordan river into the promised land, and begin to take ownership of it. Some of the heroes along the way are the ones the readers would expect and others are some of the least likely characters in all of the Bible. Rahab, through her brief in the God of the Isrealites, stands as a pillar of faith, not just in her time, but through Hebrews 11 for all time. God is always moving on your behalf, just as he was in Joshua, Rahab, and the Isrealite's day
Picture someone who you believe is successful. What makes them a success? How did they become successful? This week—as we continue our series, The With-God Journey—we’re going to discover the Bible’s picture of success as we study the life of Joshua. No matter how successful or not you believe yourself to be, God is inviting you to learn the art of living well—to make your one life matter most.
All of us inevitably go through wilderness seasons of life. But what if we didn’t just go through them? What if we learned to grow through them? This week, as we continue our series, The With-God Journey, will follow God’s people as they travel through the wilderness on their way to the Promised Land. Discover how God might want to transform you through the struggles and challenges you face today.
What do you do when life gives you what you don’t want? If you look at things from a human perspective, you might fall into despair. But if you see things with a God’s eye view, you might find a reason to have hope and press on. This week as we continue our series, The With-God Journey, we’ll discover through Joseph’s life (yeah, the guy with the amazing technicolor dreamcoat) how to live by faith—no matter what life throws our way.
Can we really love God if we don’t love others? Can we really love others if we
don’t love God? This week, as we continue our series, The With-God Journey, we’ll discover why a with-God life is inseparable from a with-others life through the tragic story of Cain and Abel. But even amidst life’s greatest tragedies, relational conflicts and injustice, God offers us redemptive hope.
Before Sunday's sermon lets look at a few things abut Adam and Eve and what might be on their Facebook....if they had one.
Welcome to the With-God Pod. A podcast to help you on your With-God Journey here at Crossway this year. Listen to this opening episode as we lay the ground work for the whole year!
This Sunday we kickoff our new series for 2023, The With-God Journey: Through the Bible, Through the Year, Through Us. All through the Bible we learn a critical truth: God is with us. The key question for our lives is then: Will I choose to live with God or not? What choice will you make this year?
Luke's is the singing gospel. Four times in his gospel people erupt in spontaneous song in response to hearing about or meeting Jesus. In this passage Mary sings what has become known as "The Magnificat". It has been said that this passage is "The most revolutionary document in the whole world". Come along to the hill country with us as we learn that "Joy is found at the intersection of gratefulness and humble surrender".
Christmas is right around the corner, and with that comes all the season's business. Finding ourselves distracted this time of year is easy and can cause us to choose lists over people.
Rebuilding the house of the Lord happens as we live fully and faithfully to God. Rebuilders of God’s house live fully and faithfully for him.
While living in exile, God’s people didn’t have their land, their temple, or their
homes, but they did have Scripture. One of the unexpected ways God’s people grew spiritually during this time of terrible disruption, was by grounding and rooting their lives in God’s Word like never before. They become people of the book. As we seek to rebuild our broken lives and world, perhaps God is calling us to anchor our lives once again in his powerful Word. This week, following the example of Ezra, discover how God is inviting us to engage in the spiritual practice of studying Scripture.
How do you connect with God in worship? What draws you closer to him? This week, as we continue our series on the Old Testament book of Ezra, we’ll learn how God’s people rebuilt their lives and community around the authentic worship of God. Discover why worship strengthens our souls, heightens our joy, and deepens our relationship with God
The Old Testament book of Ezra tells the story of God’s people rebuilding their
broken world. The work of rebuilding begins by recognizing and responding to the stirring of the Lord. What has the Lord been stirring in your life? Are you open to hearing him? This week Pastor Dave Ripper continues our series on Ezra by exploring why God stirs his people to live generously—even in the face of uncertainty.
Ezra 1 is the beginning of a parallel journeys. One journey is embarked upon by returnees making their way back to Jerusalem. The other journey is made by many of the same people making their way back to God. Along the way God will show Himself faithful and a promise keeper. In response, He will stir people's hearts to a calling to rebuild the House of the Lord.
In a strong family, everyone pitches in and does their part. The same goes for strong, healthy churches. This week pastors at each of our campuses will be preaching a message from Acts 2 that we all need to hear: you are needed. Your time, your talents, your treasures matter to all of us—and to God. For us to be the community God is calling us to be, every one of us must take our place and do our part. And when we do, it’s an absolutely beautiful family to be a part of.
September 11 is a big Sunday for Crossway! We’re kicking off our new ministry
year, celebrating baptisms, and launching a new teaching series on how you can get more
connected at Crossway called, Trailhead. Join us—and invite a friend—as Pastor Dave Ripper
challenges us to be the church for such a time as this.
Dave Ripper sits down with Paul Borthwick and together they dive deeper into the fellowship of the suffering
Psalm 24:3 asks, “Who may climb the mountain of God?” This week Pastor Dave
Ripper will unpack five key characteristics of people who climb higher in their relationship with God, as we continue our series, Praying the Psalms. Discover what next step God is inviting you to take on your journey with him.
While you can get to know God on your own, you can only experience him more
deeply with others. Yet in these divided times, we’re tempted to give up on community—to give
up on church. When we stop investing in practicing the way of Jesus together, we forfeit the
power of our faith. Discover why pursuing unity is absolutely in the spiritual journey this Sunday,
as we study Psalm 133 in our series, Praying the Psalms.
We welcome back Founding Pastor Dave Smith as he updates Crossway on his ministry in Arizona.
How content or joyful or confident are you these days? This week, as we study Psalm 131, we’re going to discover the surprising truth that the way to more contentment and joy in life is not through upwards mobility, but often through downwards mobility. God isn’t calling us to American success, he is leading us toward childlike faith. The more we are willing to be led by God—wherever, whenever, however—the more contentment, joy and confidence we will find.
You have suffered. You are suffering. You will suffer. Like all of us. But suffering
doesn’t have the final word. God’s love does. Discover how you might draw closer to God by
praying from the depths of your pain and suffering. As we pray our pain, we discover a hope in
God that never dies. Join us as we learn to pray Psalm 130 at Crossway Christian Church this
Sunday.
We are back with episode 43 where Dave Ripper uses the beginning of his book to help us better understand suffering.
"Psalm 129 finds the people of Israel reflecting on the hardships they've endured and God's faithfulness in the midst of it. As we walk out our faith we will encounter troubles, this Sunday we'll hear from Pastor Matt about how we can go to God with all situations in our lives."
Dave preaches from Psalm 127 and the importance of having God be part of our work and purpose.
“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards,”
Kierkegaard famously said. Yet many of us attempt to live without ever reflecting on the past.
This week Pastor Dave Ripper continues our series, Praying the Psalms, by inviting us to
remember what the Lord has done. Remembering what God has done enables us to trust what he’s doing and will do.
For centuries God’s people made pilgrimage to Jerusalem for one purpose: to
worship. When worship becomes central to our lives, everything else falls into its proper place.
This week Pastor Dave Ripper continues our series, Praying the Psalms, as we study Psalm
122, and rediscover how to worship our great God.
A new episode of Getting Heaven Into People. Listen as we have a guest speaker Gordon MacDonald.
God invites us to pray to him as we are, not as we think we should be. In fact,
growing in prayer begins by simply getting real and being honest with God. Learn how to pray
like believers have throughout the ages in our new series, Praying the Psalms.
A lot can change within a week. On Palm Sunday Jesus entered Jerusalem to the
shouts of Hosanna. By Friday, the shouts of Hosanna turned to cries of Crucify him! What
happened? Join us this Sunday as Pastor Dave Ripper helps us discover why the Jesus we
desperately want might not be the Jesus we ultimately need.
As followers of Jesus, we ask him to answer our prayers. But what if Jesus is also asking us to be an answer to his prayer? This Sunday, Pastor Dave Ripper continues our series, Encountering Jesus, by exploring the prayer Jesus prays in John 17. Join us as we discover how to pray more like Jesus, and how we as a church can be an answer to his prayer.
How’s your spiritual life these days? Are you growing, or have you perhaps been
drifting from God? This week Pastor Dave Ripper continues our series, Encountering Jesus, by
teaching from John 15. Learn how spiritual growth happens from the reliable pattern taught by Jesus. You won’t want to miss out on the growth Jesus loves to see you experience.
Pastor Dave Ripper gives us the introduction to his Getting Heaven Into People Podcast. Beginning Wednesday March 2nd tune in each day as together we connect, grow and encounter Jesus through this new podcast.
John 13 marks a shift in the way Jesus speaks and interacts with His disciples. His tone turns to pleading and takes a bold step to literally stoop down and wash the disciples feet. It's as if he is trying to get their attention. Once he has it, he tells them he has a "new commandment" for them. This "new" commandment sounds like an older familiar one, but the difference is both a significant challenge and invitation. Join us this Sunday, as Pastor Jake Scott kicks off our new sermon series "Encountering Jesus".
After two years of the pandemic, how is Crossway doing? Listen in as Pastor Dave Ripper shares a hope-filled message on The State of the Church.
The kingdom of God is aggressively allergic to pride, which grows wild in our lives. Humility needs to be cultivated and that takes intentional practice. This week we’ll hear from Pastor Doug Melder, a member of our community, about how we can continue to rediscover humility as a virtue.
Humility is one of the most defining characteristics of the Christian life. Yet it is also one of the most elusive virtues to understand. Join us this week as Pastor Dave Ripper explores what humility is, why it matters, and how we can cultivate the beautiful freedom of humility in our own lives.
Christianity is founded on the virtue of humility. The Scriptures tell us Jesus "humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross” (Philippians 2:8). Yet when we think of Christians today, is humility a word that describes Christ-followers well? Perhaps the absence of humility in the church today is a result of its misunderstanding. Join us at Crossway as we rediscover what humility is, how to cultivate it, and why it is essential for the future of our faith.
As Habakkuk is seeing and hearing the destruction of his people he pauses to finish this book. It is 10 to thirty years after he wrote Habakkuk 1-2 and he has come to peace and found the beauty of this broken time. He does so by remembering and rejoicing. He remembers all the times God showed up for the Jewish people before, and he rejoices in the fact that God will do it again.
Sharing in prayer with others can be hard enough let alone with God when we are struggling with His answers. This Sunday Pastor Tommy Riley takes a look at Habakkuk’s journey as he leans into God’s response and as we take a look at praying beyond ourselves.
Habakkuk is a book about honesty. He is honest with God in the worst moment of his life... and God responds. Are there any questions that are off-limits with God? The size of your God will determine the size of the questions you are willing to ask him. Through it all Habakkuk is honest with his doubts, raw in his emotions and leans into God. In the end the pain isn't taken away, but Habakkuk walks in peace in spite of it. Join us as we dive into three weeks on the incredible, raw, honest book of Habakkuk.
People in our world seem to be hurting now more than ever. How might God be inviting us to love and support our family, friends and neighbors? Join Pastors Tim Lafferty and Dave Ripper as they have a conversation about how to C.A.R.E. To care for others well, we must first be cared for ourselves.
Do you find yourself battling despair or resignation of late? Have you begun to lose a sense of hope? Does everything seem to be working against you? This week Pastor Dave Ripper will help us rediscover how to find hope for the long haul through the stories of Simeon and Anna. Rise up out of the throes of despair by placing your small hopes in the greatest hope of all.
Campus Pastor: Jake Scott Psalm 19:7-8
In Psalm 19:7-8 David lists a series of attributes of scripture and promises we can claim from scripture, and yet sometimes these promises feel unfulfilled. Perhaps because when we approach scripture we don't slow down the pace of our lives long enough to allow scripture to deeply transform us from the inside out. We have to take an inward journey with scripture before we can take the outward journey of it actually changing our lives.

Luke 2: 25-38 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...)
We live in an on-demand culture. If I told you two people spent their entire lives waiting and the Bible held them up as targets on the wall, how would you respond. Our culture would view a life marked by waiting as a life wasted. Perhaps we wait on the wrong things. If funny that the things in our life that shaped us into who we are today are rarely the sorts of things we anxiously await. What are you waiting for? In the meantime, don't waste your wait.

Matthew 5:9
Unrest. Division. Tumult. Words like these have been widely used to describe the current state of our nation. But what if there was a better way forward? This week we’ll be challenged by Jesus’ words to be peacemakers—following his example as the ultimate bringer of peace. To experience peace with others, we first need to experience greater peace with ourselves. And for that, we need Jesus like never before.

Jesus says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” Discover what being "pure in heart" really means, and how you can become the kind of person who can recognize God.

Matthew 5:5
"Blessed are the Meek" sounds like Jesus is saying "Blessed are the submissive doormats", but in reality He is calling his followers to an upside strength so subversive that it is almost imperceptible to the average person. "Praus" the greek word for "Meek" comes from the root word for a war horse who even though their strength is great, through relationship and trust listens to the leadings of their rider. Jesus, the donkey rider, calls us to operate with the strength and control of war horses

God calls Jeremiah to some amazing things and some amazingly hard things. If Jeremiah had held onto his expectations from God and for his own life he would have had to let go of God's calling on his life. People who will be disciples of Jesus and make disciples of Jesus have to learn to let go of their will for their life and hold on to God's calling and purposes instead.

How do we handle it when life is less than ideal? Ephesians, as a book, is about walking worthy. Sometimes the best way to walk worthy is to stand firm, even when doing so feels impossible.

Ephesians 3:14-21 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...)
In Ephesians 3:14-21 Paul is closing the first half of his letter to the church at Ephesus by casting a vision for what their life could and should look like when they are defined by and open-handed with Jesus. Paul asks the church at Ephesus and us today to allow Jesus "make himself at home" in our heart and to hold nothing back from him. You can't be filled to the measure of Jesus until you remove what you were filled with previously.

“Perfect love casts out fear.” -1 John 4:18
In such alarming times as these, there may have never been a more urgent need for Christians (in our age) to become people pervaded with agape love.
To be people who love God with all we are, and to love our neighbors as ourselves.
This week as we gather as the scattered church, we will look at practical, actionable steps each of us can take to cultivate the kind of love that drives out fear—from our souls, and from those around us.
This is not about trying to love, but about training ourselves to be people who easily and routinely subvert fear with love.
A look back at the year with Dave Ripper and looking forward to where we want to go as God moves through Crossway.
