The Journey Home: Celebrate
By: Kendal Anderson
Series: The Journey Home
As we finish our Journey Home series, we find that in 52 days, Nehemiah and his team have accomplished what no one thought they could do--rebuilt the walls of the holy city of Jerusalem! There’s no doubt this has been done by power and presence God among them.
So how do you celebrate a wall? (Hint: there's a band and a parade!) And while we're asking, how do we celebrate God’s work in our lives and in our church? Let's explore it together!

Feb 19, 2023The Journey Home: Fasting and PrayerBy: Scott PerkinsSeries: The Journey HomeAs we continue "The Journey Home," we are going to take a look back at the beginning of Nehemiah's memoir. His initial reaction to learning about the situation in Jerusalem has an important spiritual teaching for us as faithful followers of Jesus. Why did he stop eating? That is a GREAT question!
- Feb 12, 2023The Journey Home: REACH
Feb 12, 2023The Journey Home: REACHBy: Kendal AndersonSeries: The Journey HomeIn this week's installment of 'The Journey,' Nehemiah brings the wall-building project to a screeching halt to deal with something even more important. It's a great reminder for us not to get so caught up in the details of doing 'God's work' that we miss the needs he places right in front of us!
- Feb 5, 2023The Journey Home: How God Uses the Team
Feb 5, 2023The Journey Home: How God Uses the TeamBy: Scott PerkinsSeries: The Journey HomeThis week we are continuing our series called “The Journey Home,” in which we are taking time to use the lens of Nehemiah’s story to examine our spiritual lives as well as many of the practical needs of the church itself. At this point in the story, the wall is done. Hooray! But rather than the end of the story, that was really just the beginning of what God was doing with Nehemiah and the Israelites. How did God use the results of their labors building the wall?
- Jan 29, 2023The Journey Home: Facing Opposition
Jan 29, 2023The Journey Home: Facing OppositionBy: Kendal AndersonSeries: The Journey HomeAny time you step out in faith, expect to face challenges. Sometimes we think if God in it, will be easy. Not so! Nearly every leader in scripture faced seemingly insurmountable challenges.What kind? And how do we deal with them when they come? This Sunday in our 'Journey Home' series, we'll look at what Nehemiah's challenges and take our cues from him!
- Jan 22, 2023The Journey Home: It Takes a Team
Jan 22, 2023The Journey Home: It Takes a TeamBy: Kendal AndersonSeries: The Journey HomeHere's a biblical truth: God nearly always works through 'us,' not just 'me'. In this week's 'Journey Home,' we'll see how the team God brought around Nehemiah enabled him to do what he could never have done by himself. God works the same way today--he accomplishes his mission not through 'me' or 'you,' but through 'us' together at The Crossing!
- Jan 15, 2023The Journey Home: FAITH
Jan 15, 2023The Journey Home: FAITHBy: Kendal AndersonSeries: The Journey HomeIn week two of our series, 'The Journey Home - what God has for us next,' we ask, 'What does it look like to take a step of faith?' The first thing we'll discover? That following God's call is NOT safe!! But it's exactly where we want to be. Come find out what else we learn 🙂
- Jan 8, 2023The Journey Home: God Has a Dream for You
Jan 8, 2023The Journey Home: God Has a Dream for YouBy: Kendal AndersonSeries: The Journey HomeThis Sunday we start a new series, 'The Journey Home'. It is subtitled 'getting ready for what God has next' because we are about to shift into a new gear at The Crossing. Sometime in the next few months, we will move into our new home--the one we’ve been waiting for and dreaming of for a very long time!So we’re taking two months to prepare not only our hearts and minds, but also our systems, ministries, and volunteer teams. We want to be fully staffed and ready for whoever God brings us. Start praying now that God will show you how he wants you to be part of it! And let's take this journey together 🙂

Jan 1, 2023Run a Great Race: A New Year DevotionalBy: Kendal AndersonSeries: Fear NotDid you know your body’s cells are constantly being renewed? Stomach cells turn over every 5 days; bone cells take 10 years. So most of the body you have now didn’t exist 10 years ago. See, there’s a basic principle in biology: living things grow and change. A living thing that’s not growing is dying.
What’s true with our bodies is also true with Christ. There’s no such thing standing still on your spiritual journey—you’re either moving forward or drifting backward. So today we talk about how to move forward in your relationship with God in 2023. - Dec 25, 2022Fear Not: Unto You a Child
