Sat, 30 Mar 2024 19:30:00 -0000

This conclusion of our Invitation series celebrates the resurrection story of Luke 24. And could it be that the resurrection story isn't just about "someday" our loved ones will be alive again? What if we all need a resurrection, today?

Fri, 15 Mar 2024 18:43:23 -0000

3-9-24: The Invitation - Coins (Luke 21)

Sat, 09 Mar 2024 17:48:11 -0000

Today The Invitation series explores Luke 21. Jesus has spent a difficult couple of days in the temple in Jerusalem, challenging the leadership. And then, the best thing to happen to Jesus on the way to the cross... an impoverished widow and the offering of her two coins drown out the discouragement and leap the barriers of religiosity.

3-2-24: The Invitation - Question (Luke 20)

Sun, 03 Mar 2024 18:24:15 -0000

Episode three of our Invitation series explores the stories of Luke 20. In this passage, Jesus is stalked by enemies seeking to trick, trap or trip Him up in a way that would justify their intention of eliminating His ministry. But Jesus, these few days before the cross, deftly handles nearly every attempt by asking a question in return. Jesus is the master of questions. So I wonder, does He have a question for you, too?

2-3-24: New Wine - More

Sat, 03 Feb 2024 17:19:42 -0000

Our New Wine series concludes with a message from Pastor Dave titled More. Here, we walk through the the Gospel of John's story of the wedding feast at Cana in which Jesus creates new wine, and we consider that in a world of "no more wine" and too many "not enough" moments, Jesus is always More.

1-27-24: New Wine - Light

Sat, 27 Jan 2024 17:58:22 -0000

During this fourth episode of our New Wine series, Pastor Dave takes a moment to address a controversy facing the Crosswalk Chattanooga family and encourages love and patience as we build one another up. Then, the message shifts to Matthew 11 and Jesus' invitation for a deep connection with Him. He promises that, while life is difficult, there is rest and light when partnered with Him.

1-20-24: New Wine - Remain

Sat, 20 Jan 2024 17:33:57 -0000

In this episode of our New Wine series, Pastor Dave explores the vinyard metaphor Jesus uses in John 15. In it, Jesus explains what it is to be a Christian... or, in the words of Eugene Peterson, to be a pilgrim rather than a tourist in this Christian journey. And, if we were to create a word cloud from the first half of this chapter of Scripture, the word Remain would be big, bold and in the center. So we consider what it means to remain in Christ.

1-13-24: New Wine - Change

Sat, 13 Jan 2024 17:19:33 -0000

Today, we consider the notion of change. We are resistant to change, always preferring the comfort of the familiar. But new wine requires change... new wineskins. And how do we reconcile God introducing new wine if He claims to "never change?" Is it possible that two seemingly opposite things can be true: "God never changes" and "God always changes?"

1-6-24: New Wine

Sat, 06 Jan 2024 17:00:00 -0000

Today we launch the first series of the 2024 year, New Wine. Pastor Tim challenges us with the metaphor from Jesus in extension of the vineyard metaphors He so often uses. Through this teaching, we pose the question, Is it just new wineskins (new styles, forms, and practices) we need? Or do we need something new to fill the skins?... New Wine.

12-30-23: The Zoo

Sat, 30 Dec 2023 16:42:54 -0000

Today we all meet together in one service giving our volunteers a much needed break... Crosswalk Unplugged. This family service titled "The Zoo" will include a story told by all of our children, lots of stuffed animals and a challenge to ask God for an incredible gift as the new year approaches.

12-23-23: Adventure - Seasons

Sat, 23 Dec 2023 18:21:16 -0000

12-16-23: Adventure - Angels

Sat, 16 Dec 2023 17:32:06 -0000

12-9-23: Adventure - My Gift

Sat, 09 Dec 2023 17:30:08 -0000

Today's journey through the adventure of the Christmas story considers the dangerous world Jesus came to under Roman rule and the violent leadership of King Herod. But as we explore the gift of the baby born in a manger, we just might discover a perfect gift to give Jesus.

12-2-23: Adventure - Bethlehem

Sat, 02 Dec 2023 17:25:57 -0000

Crosswalk's Christmas season series is entitled "Adventure," as we look at God's risky attempt to save humanity through the incarnation of Christ. Today we consider the little town of Bethlehem, a not-so-important landing spot for the Son of God. But isn't that just like the God we know? capitalizing on the insignificant, using the unimportant and accepting the broken like you and me? So as we sing "O Little Town" we do so laying claim to the audacious gift of salvation... the wild truth of being chosen by Christ.

11-25-23: Uncomfortable Countercultural Comfort

Sat, 25 Nov 2023 17:00:00 -0000

In this, our final chapter of the second season of the Uncomfortable series, Pastor Tim challenges us to live in a culture of gratitude rather than the prevailing lifestyle of consumption.

11-18-23: Uncomfortable Unity

Sat, 18 Nov 2023 17:00:00 -0000

11-11-23: Uncomfortable Worship

Sat, 11 Nov 2023 17:25:59 -0000

In today's episode, Pastor Dave explores the extravagant and uncomfortable nature of true worship. Is it possible to worship passively or partially? Or is this an all in, everything or nothing verb we are called to experience?

9-30-23: Demons

Mon, 09 Oct 2023 20:42:02 -0000

Welcome to our study of Jesus' healing of the man possessed by demons, as told by Mark in his Gospel. Jesus bounds on shore unworried if it makes Him unclean to touch, soothe and heal this bedraggled outcast. And, in the end, Jesus leaves the man a task much like that He gives us, "Go, tell what I have done for you."

9-23-23: Wilderness

Mon, 09 Oct 2023 20:41:00 -0000

Today we track Jesus, during the early days of his adulthood, into a wilderness of despair, temptation and mental anguish. Here, we realize we can take the scripture's message seriously. Jesus understands our every temptation, bears our griefs and carries our pain.

9-16-23: Un/Broken

Mon, 09 Oct 2023 20:40:44 -0000

Join us as Pastor Tim launches a new series exploring the many challenges Christians face with mental health crises. We will need courage and heart to ask the difficult questions.

Thu, 05 Oct 2023 15:30:44 -0000

9-2-23: Love

Thu, 05 Oct 2023 15:30:13 -0000

The final episode of Elemental Season 2 recommends Love as the roofline of our house of faith. All of our questions or understandings from scripture should be tested by the claim that God is Love. Love is the picture on the box of puzzle pieces showing how they should all be arranged.

8-24-23: Community

Thu, 05 Oct 2023 15:29:11 -0000

The power and importance of Community is the exploration of the fourth episode in our series. Pastor Tim is on campus to deliver this message on the importance of faith community.

8-19-23: Freedom

Thu, 05 Oct 2023 15:26:00 -0000

This third episode of our second Elemental season focuses on Freedom through a strange metaphor: the Oppenheimer Latte. Is it possible that God refuses to define love without freedom? What a tremendous promise that salvation is available to us all, but in the end, we can refuse it. We are free.

8-5-23: Jesus

Thu, 28 Sep 2023 18:22:24 -0000

Today we begin the second season of our Elemental series. Where season one asked the question of what to do with our questions and doubts, the second season focuses on elemental building blocks we should consider for our house of faith. And this week, we discuss the foundation... Jesus.

7-22-23: 3 John

Thu, 28 Sep 2023 18:21:31 -0000

7-15-23: 2 John

Thu, 28 Sep 2023 18:21:11 -0000

The Little Letters continues with 2 John as we explore the relationship between truth and love. Amidst this study we come face-to-face with Jesus... this man is fully God (who is love) and also claims to be the way, the truth and the life.

7-8-23: 1 John 4-5

Thu, 28 Sep 2023 18:20:53 -0000

Today Pastor Dave continues our series on The Little Letters with an exposition on 1 John 4 and 5. In this passage we discover 3 critical identifiers of real love and drink in the truth that God is love.

6-17-23: Father's Day

Thu, 28 Sep 2023 18:19:03 -0000

In this episode, Pastor Dave draws lessons from the love of his father, Duane Ferguson. Pivotal in our understanding of who God is, Jesus shows up. He shows up in our joys, pain, triumphs, and discouragement. And just as we would wish for an earthly father, God saves His best for us.

6-10-23: Questions

Thu, 28 Sep 2023 18:18:34 -0000

Questions explores the challenges of faith, the confusion we face and how God feels about us when we doubt. As we turn the pages of scripture we encounter a God who is patient with our understandings and encourages us to be honest about our journey. In the end, as demonstrated through the life of John the Baptist, He is more interested in our pursuit of His love than that we are correct in all our understandings of truth.

5-20-23: Welcome the Fergusons

Thu, 28 Sep 2023 18:15:52 -0000

Pastor Tim Gillespie and Crosswalk Chattanooga welcome the Ferguson's to our church family as Pastor Dave Ferguson joins in the role of lead pastor for our church and executive leadership team member for Crosswalk Global.
