Prayer is one of God’s greatest gifts to His people and one of the greatest privileges we have. In this series we sit at the feet of Jesus as he teaches us how to pray. In this message, we first learn what prayer is not: it’s neither a performance or simply a procedure.  Prayer is […]

All In, with Kirk Crossing

LIFELINE (1) – Matthew 6.5-8

In this final message of the series, we learn that true love brings joy.  Though Jesus would experience a painful trial and death, he promised his disciples that they would experience profound joy; that joy came because of his resurrection!  The would experience joy in seeing him again, knowing that he truly was the Lord […]

What Love Is This? (6) – John 16.16-24

In this message we learn that true love is a love that provides.  Jesus’ provision for his disciples comes through the work of the Holy Spirit, “another Advocate” sent to carry on His work.  In John 14.15-31 Jesus reveals that our provision includes the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (God lives in side us!), the […]

What Love Is This? (4) – John 14.15-31

In this message, we discover that true love is a love that comforts.  As Jesus was soon to leave his disciples, he brought them comfort by offering three gifts.  The first gift is the gift of a home, a place where we will dwell with him for all eternity.  The second gift is a way […]

What Love Is This? (3) – John 14.1-14

In this part of Jesus’ farewell address, we discover that true love is a love that suffers.  Not all of Jesus’ suffering, though, was physical.  It was also deeply relational.  Jesus, with full knowledge of all that was happening, willingly suffered the betrayal of one of his closest followers.  Yet, he still loved us to […]

What Love Is This? (2) – John 13.18-30

Love is one of the most often used but least understood words in the world.  While there are many definitions of love, the one that matters most for Jesus’ people is God’s definition.  In the Bible, love is defined not be a feeling but a cross. The first part of the answer to the question, […]

What Love Is This? (1) – John 13.1-17

In this last message of the series, we learn that we are a victorious people.  Though there is one more tragic rebellion and setback for the people of Israel, the end of the book of Numbers points forward to the ultimate victory which the Lord would gain for His people: our liberation from sin and […]

All Together Now (8) – Numbers 25-36

In this section of the Book of Numbers we learn that we are a blessed people.  Being blessed by the Lord is about far more than material possessions and circumstantial comforts.  It’s about all that He intends for His people. In this message we learn that, as the Lord’s blessed peoples, we have His salvation, […]

All Together Now (7) – Numbers 22-24

In this part of the book of Numbers, we learn that the people of God are a challenged people.  As we follow Him there are any number of things from opposition to disappointment to loss that can create discouragement.  There is light at the end of the tunnel though! In this message we learn that […]

All Together Now (6) – Numbers 20(b)-21

This section of the Book of Numbers reveals that we are to be a submissive people.  This is evident in the fact that some among the ancient people of Israel refused to submit to the Lord’s ordering and leadership.  This, in turn, meant that they were not submitting to the Lord Himself.  While most people […]

All Together Now (5) – Numbers 16-20(a)

As we continue walking in the footsteps of the ancient people of God, we learn that we are to be a faith-filled people.  But what is faith?  What does it do?  How does it look?  How do we know if we’re living with it?  These are important questions!  As it turns out, Numbers 13-14 tells […]

All Together Now (4) – Numbers 13-15

In the third message of the series, we discover that the people of God are not only a unique people and a worshipping people, but also a journeying people.  We are headed somewhere and the journey is a huge part of how the Lord shapes and transforms us.  As long as the ancient people of […]

All Together Now (3) – Numbers 10-12

In this second message of the series, we continue to walk in the footsteps of the ancient Israelites and learn about the next key aspect of our identity as the people of God: we are a worshipping people.  Worship is central to the biblical story; sin, in many ways, is the failure to worship God, […]

All Together Now (2) – Numbers 7-9

In this first message of the series, we discover that the people of God are utterly unique and special, unlike any other people on earth.  We are unique because we are known by God, ordered by God, and set apart by God. Being known by God is significant because it means that each person counts; […]

All Together Now (1) – Numbers 1

In this third message of the series, we learn that there is hope because of the work that Jesus came to earth to do. Joseph was sure he had made the right decision in divorcing Mary and moving on with his life, but the Lord had other plans.  Would Joseph go along with the Lord’s […]
