This week's question: What does the Bible say about social justice? Do we have a responsibility to be a part of it? Is The Crossing already involved in social justice projects in which I can participate? Is what we do enough?

What does being confident in Christ look like? How do we combat pride in our hearts while being effective in our faith? Sun, 3 Aug 2008 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/8-3-2008_118.mp3 Nathan Tiemeyer July 27, 2008 - Dave Cover preaches on the number one voted question at The Crossing. Question: I would like to hear sermons on the subject of "scientific proof of christianity"-relating to geography, archeology, evolution etc. The scientific world tries to disprove it so--I love to hear examples of science agreeing with christianity!

Sun, 13 Jul 2008 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/7-13-2008_112.mp3 Luke Miedema July 6, 2008 - Ryan Wampler answers the question: How should a Christian approach the sabbath? Is it the only one of the ten commandments that is no longer applicable? Sun, 6 Jul 2008 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/7-6-2008_111.mp3 Ryan Wampler June 29, 2008 - What is your position on the rapture of the church? Will it be in before, in the middle, or after the 7 year tribulation? What is the rapture and the meaning end times? What will it be like? Are we seeing signs of the end times? Sun, 29 Jun 2008 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/6-29-2008_109.mp3 Shay Roush June 22, 2008 - Is every word of the Bible true? How do we know the Bible is a trust worthy document? And how do we really know it is the "word of God?" Sun, 22 Jun 2008 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/6-22-2008_108.mp3 Keith Simon June 15, 2008 - Practically, what does it mean to glorify God? Does it mean that if I write a book or produce an album they should be about Jesus? Sun, 15 Jun 2008 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/6-15-2008_107.mp3 Keith Simon June 8, 2008 - Question: Why is receiving the Holy Ghost relevant for the first church but not spoke about today? What does it mean to speak in tongues? Do people still communicate with God today in this way? Sun, 8 Jun 2008 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/6-8-2008_104.mp3 Dave Cover June 1, 2008 - Question: Do you think people in Heaven can see us on Earth? Are there animals in heaven? When Christians die today, do they go right to heaven, or are they somewhere else until Christ comes again? or are we just asleep waiting for Christ to return? Sun, 1 Jun 2008 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/6-1-2008_103.mp3 Shay Roush May 25, 2008 - Keith Simon preaches the final sermon in the Gospel According to Romans series before the summer break.

Sun, 4 May 2008 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/5-4-2008_92.mp3 Dave Cover April 27, 2008 - Our view of ourselves and others is radically different than the view that God has of all people. And because of that difference in perspective, we are often challenged and even agitated when we hear how the Bible describes our spiritual condition apart from Christ. Sun, 27 Apr 2008 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/5-1-2008_91.mp3 Keith Simon April 20, 2008 - Shay Roush preaches the third sermon in The Crossing's sermon series on the Gospel According to Romans.

Sun, 30 Mar 2008 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/3-30-2008_85.mp3 Nathan Tiemeyer March 23, 2008 - This year's Easter message by Dave Cover Sun, 23 Mar 2008 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/3-23-2008_84.mp3 Dave Cover March 16, 2008 - When Jesus rode into Jerusalem, he was declaring that he was Israels long awaited king. But more than that, he was revealing that he was not the kind of king that the people expected. In this sermon Keith Simon shows us 6 truths that show what kind of king Jesus is. Sun, 16 Mar 2008 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/3-16-2008_80.mp3 Keith Simon March 9, 2008 - Shay Roush continues the series on Prayers in the Bible; prayers that we should be praying for ourselves.

In Keith Simon's sermon he lays out four beliefs that motivate us to be generous givers. Sun, 24 Feb 2008 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/2-24-2008_75.mp3 Keith Simon The more you know Israels story in the Bible, the more you see how much it seems to mirror our own story in so many ways. ...Where, on the one hand there is the REAL God-created universe in which we forever life And then on the other hand, we live our daily lives as if WE can set our own rules and control our own lives and live for ourselves. But a world where we set our own rules and control our own lives and find happiness on our terms DOESNT EXIST outside our own minds. But its not real and it won't work When we read Nehemiah chapter nine, that was the enslaving pattern these people praying this prayer where desperately trying to break in their prayer of repentance. Sun, 17 Feb 2008 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/2-17-2008_72.mp3 Dave Cover February 10, 2008 - Everyone knows what it is like to be tempted to sin. It doesnt matter whether you are a man or a woman, whether you are young or old, whether you arent a Christian, are a new Christian or a mature Christian. No one is exempt from temptation. Sun, 10 Feb 2008 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/2-10-2008_71.mp3 Keith Simon February 3, 2008 - Dave Cover continues the current series on Prayers in the Bible. Sun, 3 Feb 2008 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/2-3-2008_69.mp3 Dave Cover In this third sermon in our series on the prayers in the Bible, Shay Roush looks at an account in the life of Jacob where he spends a night wrestling with God. When the struggle is over, Jacob finds that his life is changed. He has encountered God and sees Him as He really is. How do you know if you??ve encountered God? Shay preaches from Genesis 32 in this weeks sermon. Sun, 27 Jan 2008 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/1-27-2008_68.mp3 Shay Roush In the second sermon in our series on Prayer, we look at Ephesians 3:14-19 where we find Paul on his knees praying for the church. Our prayers reflect our priorities because we always ask God for the things that we think are most important in life. What were the needs that drove Paul to his knees before God? Do your prayers reflect biblical priorities? Sun, 20 Jan 2008 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/1-20-2007_65.mp3 Keith Simon This week the pastors of The Crossing are starting a new sermon series on Prayers in the Bible. Like with this week???s sermon, this series won???t always just be looking at what these prayers teach us ABOUT prayer, so much as what they show us about God and about ourselves and about life. This week Pastor Dave Cover will look at 8 verses from Jesus??? prayer in John 17???a prayer that is one of his last prayers before being crucified. The theme of Dave???s sermon starts with this question???When Jesus repeatedly prayed in John 17 that he would be glorified, does that make Jesus egotistical and self-serving? Is there a good reason why we, as believers, should WANT God to be glorified more than anything else? Sun, 13 Jan 2008 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/1-13-2008_64.mp3 Dave Cover January 6, 2008 - For the first sermon of this new year Keith Simon goes straight to our hearts. Too often we find it easier to worry about our outward appearance, while ignoring, or lying about our hearts. Keith preaches from Mathew 23: verses 25-28, and Jesus' words to the Pharisees. Sun, 6 Jan 2008 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/1-6-2007_62.mp3 Keith Simon Guest speaker Dan Hanneken shares his story of how God changed his life. A story that, though may not be exactly how our lives have gone, is all too familiar. Sun, 30 Dec 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/12-30-2007_63.mp3 Dan Hanneken and Dave Cover How we view the virgin birth of Jesus defines our lives, so much rides on the truth of that historical claim. Dave Cover preaches the final advent sermon titled, ???Why You Should Reject Christianity.??? Sun, 23 Dec 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/12-23-2007_56.mp3 Dave Cover December 16, 2007 - This marks the third sermon in this Advent season. Shay Roush speaks from Mathew 1, but the story of Jesus is not about a cute little baby or just peace on earth, no, it???s a truth claim. Sun, 16 Dec 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/12-16-2007_55.mp3 Shay Roush December 9, 2007 - Keith Simon breaks from the series on Parables to give a message from Luke 1. Sun, 9 Dec 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/12-9-2007_50.mp3 Keith Simon December 2, 2007 - Continuing our current sermon series on Parables, Dave Cover preaches from Mathew 9, verses 36-38. Sun, 2 Dec 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/12-2-2007_49.mp3 Dave Cover November 25, 2007 - Often times we think that we need to get our act together before we can approach God, but nothing is further from the promises in the Bible. God welcomes sinners like the father welcomes back his son in the parable from Luke 15 of the Prodigal Son. Sun, 25 Nov 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/11-25-2007_46.mp3 Keith Simon November 18, 2007 - Dave Cover continues our sermon series on parables, this week in Matthew 7:24-27, the parable of the Wise and Foolish builders. We see that life will always eventually expose our belief or unbelief in Jesus Christ. Dave challenges us to examine our core beliefs, which are always tied to the condition of our hearts. Sun, 18 Nov 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/11-18-2007_43.mp3 Dave Cover November 11, 2007 - Keith Simon is preaching on one of the scariest verses in the Bible, found in Mathew 7, verses 21 to 23. It is these kinds of passages in the Bible that force us to realize that simply knowing that Jesus is the only way is NOT what makes you a Christian, it just makes you well informed. It is something far more critical than that. Sun, 11 Nov 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/11-11-2007_41.mp3 Keith Simon November 4, 2007: Shay Roush preaches a sermon on the Jesus' return and the parable of watchfulness from Luke 12: 35-46. Sun, 4 Nov 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/11-4-2007_39.mp3 Shay Roush October 28, 2007 - God has made it so easy for us to pray. Dave Cover looks at Luke 11 and the Lord's Prayer and Jesus' instructions to us on how to pray. Sun, 28 Oct 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/10-28-2007_37.mp3 Dave Cover From Luke 14, Keith Simon expands on Jesus' continuous message that we need to reverse our thinking. Preaching from the Parable of the Great Banquet Keith titles his sermon, The Great Reversal. Sun, 21 Oct 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/10-21-2007_36.mp3 Keith Simon Why is how we use our money so important to Jesus? Dave tells us that it is a matter of trust. The Parable of the Rich Fool from Luke 12 shows us that we can live our lives buying, storing, and eventually throwing away all our stuff but in the end we've lived for nothing. Sun, 14 Oct 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/10-14-2007_30.mp3 Dave Cover Keith Simon continues with the parable of the hidden treasure and the pearl from Mathew 13. Not everyone sees the same value of treasure but we are all treasure seekers. Is the treasure that you are seeking now worth more than Jesus? Sun, 7 Oct 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/10-7-2007_29.mp3 Keith Simon Dave Cover speaks from Matthew 13:24 - 43 and the parable of the Wheat and the Weeds. This world is mixed with weeds and wheat, but everything points to the final harvest at the end of the age when the weeds will be removed forever. Sun, 30 Sep 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/9-30-2007_27.mp3 Dave Cover Shay Roush speaks from the parable in Luke 16: 19 - 20. The Rich Man and Lazarus show us where to find our riches. Don't justify yourself in the eyes of this world; a God justified person understands God's grace and depends on it for their identity. Sun, 23 Sep 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/9-23-2007_24.mp3 Shay Roush Keith Simon continues the sermon series on the Parables of Jesus. Do you see yourself forgiven of great debt or is Jesus just giving you a little boost? This week Keith looks at Luke 7:36-50 and the woman who washes Jesus' feet in the house of Simon the Pharisee. Sun, 16 Sep 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/9-16-2007_22.mp3 Keith Simon Don't let familiarity harden your heart to truth. Do you have ears to hear it? Or has the Bible become a list of do's and don'ts? Dave Cover begins a new sermon series at The Crossing on Parables. Today's sermon comes from Mathew 13. Sun, 9 Sep 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/9-9-2007_20.mp3 Dave Cover 1 Chronicles 17:16 - 17 Mon, 3 Sep 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/9-3-2007_13.mp3 Keith Simon Colossians 3:1 - 4 Sun, 26 Aug 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/8-26-2007_18.mp3 Dave Cover 2 Kings 6 - 7 Sun, 19 Aug 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/8-19-2007_16.mp3 Keith Simon Dave Cover speaks from the book of Colossians 3:1-4 Sun, 12 Aug 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/8-12-2007_15.mp3 Dave Cover 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 Sun, 5 Aug 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/8-5-2007_14.mp3 Nathan Tiemeyer Sun, 7 Jan 2007 00:00:01 GMT http://thecrossingchurch.com/database/media/files/1-7-2007_17.mp3 Keith Simon
