The Beginning of Sin & Shame

Easter At The Crossing (Audio Podcast)

What road are you on? We all end up on difficult roads—isolation, exhaustion, uncertainty. But Easter reminds us that Jesus meets us there and invites us onto a better road. This Easter message explores Jesus’ encounter on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24:13–35—where confusion, doubt, and disappointment meet unexpected hope. If you feel lost or stuck, this message will help you see where Jesus is already walking with you—and how to move forward.

The Beginning of Sin & Shame

Have you ever wondered why we hide when we mess up? Why guilt lingers, shame whispers, and it feels easier to cover up than come clean? That instinct didn’t start with you. In Genesis 3, we see the moment sin and shame first entered the human story—and how quickly fear replaced freedom. In Week 2 of Beginnings, we step into the tension of that moment, not to heap blame, but to understand ourselves more clearly and see God more honestly.

The Beginning of Us

Before there was humanity, purpose, or meaning—there was God. Genesis 1–2 starts where Scripture starts: with God as Creator. Before anything existed, God was already at work—speaking, forming, ordering, and bringing life.  This message lays the foundation for everything we believe about the world, ourselves, and God’s authority in our lives. If God truly is the Creator, then nothing about our lives is accidental—and everything finds its meaning in Him.

Reframe Your Mind

If you’ve ever wondered why the same situations keep triggering the same emotions… why peace feels out of reach… or why your reactions don’t match your intentions… We all see life through a filter—whether we realize it or not. That filter shapes how we interpret our circumstances, how we respond under pressure, and how we see ourselves, others, and even God. When the filter is distorted, everything feels heavier, harder, and more confusing than it should. In the final week of this series, we learn how to reframe that filter toward the goodness of God—and allow His truth to reshape the way we think, respond, and live.

ReImagine Transformation

Sept 21, 2025 Pastor Shane Philip continues our Reimagine series by looking at the lives of Peter and Paul in Acts 2 and Acts 17. Both men experienced radical transformation through the power of Jesus—and their stories remind us that Pastor Shane shares what transformation looks like when the Holy Spirit moves, how Peter was emboldened to preach the gospel, and how Paul carried that same message across cultures and nations.
