The Crossing Church

Come Holy Spirit - The Fire Fell At 9 AM

On Pentecost Sunday, Pastor Chad preached that God is intentionally guiding history through “days, hours, and seasons,” and that the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at 9 a.m. on the Day of Pentecost was not random, but part of God’s redemptive plan between Christ’s first coming and His return. Drawing from Acts 2,he challenged believers to live as Spirit-filled people who order their lives around God’s presence through consistent prayer, faithfulness, and attentiveness to the Holy Spirit rather than the distractions of culture. He emphasized that we are living in the “last days,” a time marked by both urgency and opportunity: urgency to repent, persevere, and proclaim the gospel, and opportunity to experience the power and peace of the Holy Spirit while awaiting Christ’s return.

Come Holy Spirit - Can These Bones Live?

This Next Gen Sunday sermon used Ezekiel 37’s Valley of Dry Bones to teach that no person or generation is too far gone for God to restore. The speakers connected modern struggles like anxiety, brokenness, and searching for fulfillment apart from God with Israel’s spiritual condition, emphasizing that true life comes through God’s Word, obedience, and the Holy Spirit. Through stories like Lazarus and David, they challenged the church to see purpose and destiny in the next generation instead of failure, declaring that God still sees “an exceedingly great army” rising up for His Kingdom.

Come Holy Spirit - Without Measure

Pastor Chad taught that Jesus carried the Holy Spirit “without measure,” living in constant connection to God’s limitless power and wisdom, and that believers are invited into that same Spirit-led life. Centering on John the Baptist’s words, “He must increase, but I must decrease,” Pastor Chad explained that true joy and abundance are not found through self-promotion or success, but through closeness to Jesus and obedience to His voice. Using examples from the Gospel of John, he showed how simple acts of faith and obedience open the door to supernatural provision, healing, guidance, and overflowing life through the Holy Spirit.

Come Holy Spirit - Our Helper From Heaven

Pastor Chad taught that the Holy Spirit isn’t a downgrade from Jesus but His ongoing, personal presence—our helper who reveals Christ, applies the gospel to our lives, and brings both past truth and future hope into the present, especially when believers gather together.

Come, Holy Spirit - Speaking in Tongues

Pastor Chad teaches that the church is meant to live and operate in the power of the Holy Spirit, not just natural ability. He explains from Acts that while believers receive the Holy Spirit at salvation, there is also a deeper, ongoing experience—being “baptized” or filled with the Spirit—that empowers them for ministry and often includes speaking in tongues. Using the image of full immersion, he emphasizes that Christians need continual refilling to stay effective, and encourages people to seek, desire, and surrender to the Holy Spirit so they can live out a supernatural faith and mission.
