The Crossing, DE Podcast

When the needs around you feel bigger than what you have to offer, Jesus invites you to bring what you have and trust Him with the rest. Serving others is not about proving your strength. It is about staying close to Jesus and making yourself available to Him.In Mark 6:30–44, Jesus feeds more than 5,000 people through a small offering placed in His hands. This message explores the difference between living with a “poor me” attitude and being willing to be poured out in service. You will be encouraged to rest in Jesus, see people with His compassion, and obey the next step He puts in front of you. As disciples of Jesus, we do not serve to earn His love. We serve because He has loved, saved, and changed us, and He can do more through our surrender than we could accomplish on our own.Series: POUR MESermon Title: Pour Me Out… in ServiceSpeaker: MarkScripture: Mark 6:30–44Church: The Crossing | Milton, DelawareDate: August 30, 2026CONNECT: Looking to connect with us?

What do your time, money, and attention reveal about what you treasure most? Mary’s gift to Jesus in John 12:1–8 shows us that true generosity is not driven by pressure or obligation. It flows from worship, gratitude, and a settled belief that Jesus is worth more than anything we hold.In this message, Mark Magee explores Mary’s costly act of devotion and what it teaches us about humility, intentionality, sacrifice, and lasting Kingdom impact. When we remember what Jesus has done for us, generosity becomes more than a financial decision. It becomes part of our discipleship. Whether you are exploring faith or seeking to grow as a follower of Jesus, this message will challenge you to give your best to the One who gave Himself for youSeries: Pour MeSpeaker: Mark MageeScripture: John 12:1–8Learn more about The Crossing:CONNECT: Looking to connect with us?

When life feels harsh or unfair, it can be hard to see how God is at work behind the scenes. This Mother’s Day message explores the story of five women in Exodus 1–3 whose courage and faith helped save a baby named Moses and shape the future of God’s people. Through Shiphrah, Puah, Jochebed, Miriam, and Pharaoh’s daughter, we see how God uses women to protect, praise, preserve, and provide in ways that often go unnoticed but never go unused. This sermon speaks to the joy and pain of motherhood, the grief of unmet longings, and the reality that many women “mother” through spiritual influence, not just biology. You’ll be invited to name the women who have stood in the gap for you, to see motherhood as Kingdom work, and to trust the God who draws us “out of the water” into a new life with Jesus. The main passage for this message is Exodus 1–2.Series: Special MessageSpeaker: Austin GarrettScripture: Exodus 1-3CONNECT: Looking to connect with us?

What if the biggest danger for a healthy church isn’t bad doctrine but staying in the huddle and never speaking up about Jesus? In “Huddle to Herald,” Adam Woods walks through Acts 2:1–36 and the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit filled the apostles and turned a scared huddle into bold witnesses.You’ll hear how God used wind, fire, and languages to launch the mission, and how Peter’s first sermon declared that Jesus lived, died, rose, and now reigns as Lord and Messiah. This message from The Crossing in Milton, DE shows that the Spirit doesn’t create spectators; He creates heralds—ordinary people who open their mouths about Jesus in ordinary places. Rooted in Acts 2 and pointing toward the call to repentance and baptism, the sermon invites you to identify your “one” and trust the Spirit to use your simple obedience.Series: ActsSpeaker: Adam WoodsScripture: Acts 2:1–36CONNECT: Looking to connect with us?

What if Jesus is ready to move in your life, even when you don’t feel ready at all? In “Ready Or Not,” Pastor Adam walks through Acts 1:1–11 and shows how the risen Jesus continues His work through ordinary people empowered by the Holy Spirit.This message explores four big truths: Jesus’ work didn’t end at the empty tomb, the Holy Spirit is essential, the mission to be witnesses is clear, and we’re not called to stand still staring at the sky. Instead, we are sent to start right where we are, with the people already in our everyday lives. You’ll be invited to identify “Your One” — one person you can pray for, love, and invite toward Jesus this year. Whether you are spiritually curious or a long-time believer, this teaching will help you take a simple next step in trusting and obeying Jesus.Series: Acts Speaker: Adam Woods Scripture: Acts 1:1–11 CONNECT: Looking to connect with us?

Prayer can feel confusing, optional, or reserved for “really spiritual” people—but Scripture calls every follower of Jesus to pray on all occasions with all kinds of prayers. In this message, Austin Garrett shows how a simple framework can help you move from talking about prayer to actually living a life of prayer.Walking through Ephesians 6:18 and the ACTS prayer model—Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Surrender—Austin unpacks what it looks like to bring real life before God. You’ll hear honest stories about coaching, parenting, stress at home, and family bedtime, and see how ordinary moments can become sacred space when you slow down to pray. This message will help you build a rhythm of prayer that is honest, practical, and rooted in God’s grace, whether you’re new to Christianity or have followed Jesus for years.Series: Teach Us to PraySpeaker: Austin GarrettScripture: Ephesians 6:18Learn more about The Crossing: https://thecrossingde.comCONNECT: Looking to connect with us?

What would you ask God to provide every day of your life? In this message from Luke 11:3, we explore why Jesus taught His followers to pray, “Give us each day our daily bread.”In the Lord’s Prayer, Jesus moves from the greatness of God’s name and kingdom to a simple request for daily bread. Yet this ordinary prayer reveals something profound about our relationship with God. It reminds us that prayer is not about informing God of our needs, but about forming our hearts to trust Him. As we ask God for what we need today, we learn to battle anxiety with trust, arrogance with humility, independence with dependence, and isolation with relationship. This simple daily prayer draws us back to our Father again and again, shaping a life of dependence on the One who faithfully provides.Series: Teach Us To PraySpeaker: Adam WoodsScripture: Luke 11:3Learn more about The Crossing:https://thecrossingde.com CONNECT: Looking to connect with us?
